Disposable electrochemical sensor: Highly sensitive determination of nitrofurazone antibiotic in environmental samples and pharmaceutical formulations. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 361:142481. [PMID: 38823428 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
The study presents the successful development of a new electrochemical sensor with low cost and disposability for application in nitrofurazone detection in environmental and pharmaceutical samples. The sensors were fabricated using materials obtained from local storage and conductive carbon ink. The modification of the screen-printed electrodes with the hybrid nanomaterial based on silver nanoparticles, carbon quantum dots, and carbon nanotubes showed synergistic contributions in the nitrofurazone electrooxidation, as observed in the wide linear range (0.008 at 15.051 μM), with a sensitivity of 0.650 μA/μM. The limit of detection obtained was 4.6 nM. Differential pulse voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were used to evaluate the electrochemical and structural characteristics. Studies of possible interferences were considered with nitrofurazone in the presence of the ions and organic molecules. The results were satisfactory, with a variation of 93.3% ± 4.39% at 100% ± 2.40%. The low volume used in the analyses (50 μL), disposability, high sensibility, selectivity, and low limit of detection are advantages that make the proposed sensor an electrochemical tool of high viability for the NFZ detection in environmental matrices and pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract
The Ce-MOF/g-C3N5 composite was first constructed using a simple reflux method in an oil bath. Herein, we report that the electrochemical sensor fabricated based on this composite exhibits high performance in the detection of nitrofurazone. Interestingly, this sensor exhibits an extra-wide linear range of detection composed of two line segments (7-100 μM and 100-2913 μM), as well as a low detection limit (LOD) of 6.15 μM (S/N = 3) under optimal experimental conditions. Additionally, the sensor demonstrates exceptional selectivity, reproducibility and stability. More importantly, the proposed electrochemical sensor can effectively monitor nitrofurazone in real samples such as urea and tap water, and obtain ideal recoveries. The sensor has such excellent performance because of the synergistic effect of the two components in the Ce-MOF/g-C3N5 composite. Compared with Ce-MOF, the introduction of g-C3N5 effectively not only enhances the conductivity of Ce-MOF/g-C3N5 but also exposes more active sites, which is conducive to increasing the electrocatalytic activity to reduce nitrofurazone. This research contributes new scientific research ideas for fabricating ideal electrochemical sensors based on g-C3N5 and MOFs.

Abstract
Two-dimensional metal-organic framework (MOF) composites were produced by incorporating Fe-MOFs into reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets to form Fe-MOF/rGO composites by hydrothermal synthesis. SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, and measurements of contact angles were used to characterize the composites. TEM studies revealed that the rod-like-shaped Fe-MOFs were extensively dispersed on the rGO sheets. Incorporating Fe-MOF into rGO significantly improves performance due to the large surface area, chemical stability, and high electrical conductivity. The response signals for the electrochemical sensing performance of Fe-MOF/rGO-modified electrodes to nitrofurazone (NFZ) were significantly enhanced. Differential pulse voltammetry was used to detect the NFZ, and the MOF/rGO sensor possesses a lower detection limit (0.77μM) with two dynamic ranges from 0.6-60 to 128-499.3 μM and high sensitivity (1.909 μA·mM-1·cm-2). Moreover, the anti-interference properties of the sensor were quite reproducible and stable. To understand the mechanism responsible for the enhanced sensing performance of the composite, grand canonical Monte Carlo calculations were performed for Fe-MOF/rGO composites with five unit cells of Fe-MOF and four layers of rGO. We attributed the improvement to the fact that the interface between the Fe-MOF and rGO absorbed increased NFZ molecules. The findings reported herein confirm that such Fe-MOF/rGO composites have significantly improved electrochemical performance and practical applicability of sensing nitrofurazone.

Abstract
In this work, a graphitic carbon nitride/gadolinium molybdate (g-C3N4/Gd2MoO6) composite manufactured glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was used to detect nitrofurazone (NFZ) at the trace level. A quick and inexpensive electrochemical sensor for NFZ analysis is described in this paper. The material structure and properties were determined by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The GCE/g-C3N4/Gd2MoO6 electrode was studied using cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The electrocatalytic studies of the GCE/g-C3N4/Gd2MoO6 electrode showed significantly improved detection of NFZ. The electrocatalytic studies of the GCE/g-C3N4/Gd2MoO6 electrode was significantly improved for the detection of NFZ than bare GCE, GCE/g-C3N4, and GCE/Gd2MoO6 modified electrodes. The linear response and the detection limit of NFZ were 0.006 μM (S/N = 3) and 0.02-2000 μM, respectively. The electrode sensitivity was identified as 2.057 μA μM-1 cm-2 under ideal experimental conditions. The modified electrode was able to detect NFZ even when there were 500-fold as many interfering ions present. The practical applicability of the electrode was tested in a variety of water samples, with satisfactory results. Overall, the NFZ sensor demonstrated satisfactory repeatability, stability, and reproducibility. Meanwhile, it has proven to be a reliable, stable, and practical platform for the analysis of NFZ in various water samples, with acceptable recoveries.

Abstract
The separation of benzene and cyclohexane is a challenging process in the petrochemical industry, mainly because of their close boiling points. Extractive separation of the benzene-cyclohexane mixture has been shown to be feasible, but it is important to find solvents with good extractive performance. In this work, 23 eutectic solvents (ESs) containing aromatic components were screened using the predictive COSMO-RS and their respective performance was compared with other solvents. The screening results were validated with experimental work in which the liquid–liquid equilibria of the three preselected ESs were studied with benzene and cyclohexane at 298.5 K and 101.325 kPa, with benzene concentrations in the feed ranging from 10 to 60 wt%. The performance of the ESs studied was compared with organic solvents, ionic liquids, and other ESs reported in the literature. This work demonstrates the potential for improved extractive separation of the benzene-cyclohexane mixture by using ESs with aromatic moieties.

Abstract
Au-Ag nanoparticles (Au-Ag NPs) with a core-shell structure are prepared and used for ultrasensitive electrochemical impedance (EI) discrimination of the isomers of tryptophan (Trp). As revealed by circular dichroism, rotary polarization caused by the Au-Ag NPs is consistent with D-Trp but opposite to L-Trp, and thus, the Au-Ag NPs can selectively combine with D-Trp through preferential interactions. Compared with Au-Ag NPs, the composites of D-Trp and Au-Ag NPs (Au-Ag NPs/D-Trp) display significantly increased charge transfer resistance (Rct); differently, the Rct of Au-Ag NPs/L-Trp remains almost unchanged because the Au-Ag NPs exhibit poor affinity toward L-Trp. Therefore, ultrasensitive EI enantiodiscrimination of the isomers of Trp is realized even at an extremely low concentration of the Trp isomers (0.1 nM). In addition, it is successfully applied in the ultrasensitive determination of D-Trp at a low concentration level (0.1 nM∼10 μM).

Abstract
The electrochemical sensing applications of a series of water-stable 2D metal–organic framework (MOF)-modified screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) are reported. The MOF materials in this study are [M(bipy)(C4O4)(H2O)2]·3H2O, in which bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine and M = Mn, Fe, Co and Zn. The MOF materials are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), showing that the MOFs have a layer-by-layer rod structure with a smooth surface. We use the nitrofurazone molecule as a probe to investigate the influence of the metal ions of MOFs on electrochemical sensing ability. Cyclic voltammetry demonstrated that the Mn-MOF electrode of interest delivered stronger signals than that of other electrodes. Through first-principles calculations, we also revealed that the change in the spin polarization of divalent metal ions passing from the free ion state to the MOF environment appeared to be significantly correlated with the enhancement in the peak response current. The theoretical and experimental results consistently indicate that Mn-MOF has the smallest bandgap and good sensitivity among these MOF materials. Accordingly, we proposed a simple model to illustrate this observation and disclosed the importance of the electron configuration of the transition metal constructing the MOF materials used in improving electrochemical sensing applications. Framework-to-metal charge transfer of the MOF materials results in enhancing electrochemical sensing ability to nitrofurazone.![]()

Abstract
In pursuit of friendlier conditions for the preparation of high-value biochemicals, we developed catalytic synthesis of γ-valerolactone by levulinic acid hydrogenation with formic acid as the hydrogen source. Both levulinic and formic acid are intermediate products in the biomass transformation processes. The objective of the work is twofold: the development of a novel approach for milder synthesis conditions to produce γ-valerolactone and the reduction of the economic cost of the catalyst. Ni-rich Ni-Pt mesoporous nanowires were synthesized in an aqueous medium using a combined hard-soft-template-assisted electrodeposition method, in which porous polycarbonate membranes controlled the shape and the Pluronic P-123 copolymer served as the porogen agent. The electrodeposition conditions selected favored nickel deposition and generated nanowires with nickel percentages above 75 atom %. The increase in deposition potential favored nickel deposition. However, it was detrimental for the porous diameter because the mesoporous structure is promoted by the presence of the platinum-rich micelles near the substrate, which is not favored at more negative potentials. The prepared catalysts promoted the complete transformation to γ-valerolactone in a yield of around 99% and proceeded with the absence of byproducts. The coupling temperature and reaction time were optimized considering the energy cost. The threshold operational temperature was established at 140 °C, at which, 120 min was sufficient for attaining the complete transformation. Working temperatures below 140 °C rendered the reaction completion difficult. The Ni78Pt22 nanowires exhibited excellent reusability, with minimal nickel leaching into the reaction mixture, whereas those with higher nickel contents showed corrosion.
