Nanozyme-based colorimetric sensor arrays coupling with smartphone for discrimination and "segmentation-extraction-regression" deep learning assisted quantification of flavonoids. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 263:116604. [PMID: 39094293 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
Achieving rapid, cost effective, and intelligent identification and quantification of flavonoids is challenging. For fast and uncomplicated flavonoid determination, a sensing platform of smartphone-coupled colorimetric sensor arrays (electronic noses) was developed, relying on the differential competitive inhibition of hesperidin, nobiletin, and tangeretin on the oxidation reactions of nanozymes with a 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine substrate. First, density functional theory calculations predicted the enhanced peroxidase-like activities of CeO2 nanozymes after doping with Mn, Co, and Fe, which was then confirmed by experiments. The self-designed mobile application, Quick Viewer, enabled a rapid evaluation of the red, green, and blue values of colorimetric images using a multi-hole parallel acquisition strategy. The sensor array based on three channels of CeMn, CeFe, and CeCo was able to discriminate between different flavonoids from various categories, concentrations, mixtures, and the various storage durations of flavonoid-rich Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium through a linear discriminant analysis. Furthermore, the integration of a "segmentation-extraction-regression" deep learning algorithm enabled single-hole images to be obtained by segmenting from a 3 × 4 sensing array to augment the featured information of array images. The MobileNetV3-small neural network was trained on 37,488 single-well images and achieved an excellent predictive capability for flavonoid concentrations (R2 = 0.97). Finally, MobileNetV3-small was integrated into a smartphone as an application (Intelligent Analysis Master), to achieve the one-click output of three concentrations. This study developed an innovative approach for the qualitative and simultaneous multi-ingredient quantitative analysis of flavonoids.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of the CeO2/CuO composite as a bifunctional oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalyst in a basic medium. The electrocatalyst with an optimum 1:1 CeO2/CuO shows low OER and HER overpotentials of 410 and 245 mV, respectively. The Tafel slopes of 60.2 and 108.4 mV/dec are measured for OER and HER, respectively. More importantly, the 1:1 CeO2/CuO composite electrocatalyst requires only a 1.61 V cell voltage to split water to achieve 10 mA/cm2 in a two-electrode cell. The role of oxygen vacancies and the cooperative redox activity at the interface of the CeO2 and CuO phases is explained in the light of Raman and XPS studies, which play the determining factor for the enhanced bifunctional activity of the 1:1 CeO2/CuO composite. This work provides guidance for the optimization and design of a low-cost alternative electrocatalyst to replace the expensive noble-metal-based electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.

Abstract
The present work demonstrates a simple one-step pyrolysis method for the synthesis of a catalytic sludge-based carbon (SBC) biochar containing Fe and Mn from dehydrated sludge with added KMnO4 and Fe(II). The electrocatalytic degradation of triclosan (TCS) in water was evaluated using an Fe/Mn-SBC cathode to promote a heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction. The catalyst generated at 500 °C exhibited an abundant porous structure and a relatively high surface area, and produced an electrode with better conductivity and electron diffusion. The presence of metal oxides changed the surface structure defects of this biochar and enhanced its catalytic performance while increasing the electrochemically active surface area by 72.68 mF/cm2 compared with plain SBC. TCS was degraded (91.3%) within 180 min by oxygen species generated in situ on an Fe/Mn-SBC cathode because the activation energy for oxygen reduction was lowered by 4.62 kJ/mol. The degradation of TCS followed pseudo first-order kinetics and was controlled by TCS diffusion and interfacial chemical reactions between adsorbed TCS and the electrode. Possible TCS degradation pathways were devised based on the main intermediates, and 1O2 was found to be more important than •OH radicals. Through toxicity test and prediction, the toxicity of degradation was gradually reduced. This study demonstrates a simple and ecofriendly method for the electrocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis and bifunctional oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities of a CuOx-CeO2/C electrocatalyst (EC) with rich oxide-oxide and oxide-carbon interfaces. It not only demonstrates a smaller Tafel slope (65 mV dec-1) and higher limiting current density (-5.03 mA cm-2) but also exhibits an onset potential (-0.10 V vs Ag/AgCl) comparable to that of benchmark Pt/C. Besides undergoing the favorable direct four-electron ORR pathway, it unveils a loss of 23% of its initial current after 6 h of a stability test and a negative shift of 4 mV in the half-wave potential after the accelerated durability test compared to the corresponding current loss of 28% and negative shift of 20 mV for Pt/C. It also reveals remarkable OER activity in an alkaline medium with a low onset potential (0.20 V) and a smaller Tafel slope (177 mV dec-1). The bifunctional ORR/OER activity of CuOx-CeO2/C EC can be ascribed to the synergistic effects, its unique structure with enriched oxygen vacancies owing to the presence of Ce4+/Ce3+, robust oxide-oxide and oxide-carbon heterointerfaces, and homogeneous dispersion of oxides over the carbon bed, which facilitates faster electronic conduction.

Abstract
Currently, pristine and functionalized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are introduced in heterogeneous catalysis for biomass upgrading owing to the specific texture properties including regular higher-order structure, high specific surface area, and the precisely tailored diversity. The purpose of this review is to afford a comprehensive discussion of the most applications in biomass refinery. We highlight recently developed four types of MOFs like pristine MOFs and their composites, MOF-supported metal NPs, acid-functionalized MOFs, and biofunctionalized MOFs for production of green, sustainable, and industrially acceptable biomass-derived platform molecules: (1) upgrading of saccharides, (2) upgrading of furan derivatives, and (3) upgrading of other biobased compounds.

Abstract
Ceria has been widely studied either as catalyst itself or support of various active phases in many catalytic reactions, due to its unique redox and surface properties in conjunction to its lower cost, compared to noble metal-based catalytic systems. The rational design of catalytic materials, through appropriate tailoring of the particles’ shape and size, in order to acquire highly efficient nanocatalysts, is of major significance. Iron is considered to be one of the cheapest transition metals while its interaction with ceria support and their shape-dependent catalytic activity has not been fully investigated. In this work, we report on ceria nanostructures morphological effects (cubes, polyhedra, rods) on the textural, structural, surface, redox properties and, consequently, on the CO oxidation performance of the iron-ceria mixed oxides (Fe2O3/CeO2). A full characterization study involving N2 adsorption at –196 °C, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was performed. The results clearly revealed the key role of support morphology on the physicochemical properties and the catalytic behavior of the iron-ceria binary system, with the rod-shaped sample exhibiting the highest catalytic performance, both in terms of conversion and specific activity, due to its improved reducibility and oxygen mobility, along with its abundance in Fe2+ species.

Abstract
The development of promising magnetic nanocatalysts is one of the key research topics in the field of catalysis. This is because of their versatile surface physicochemical, magnetic, and size-dependent catalytic properties. Herein, an optimization strategy for the synthesis of high-value fuel grade chemicals from hydro-deoxygenation of biomass-derived furfural and vanillin using a nanostructured magnetic Fe(NiFe)O4-SiO2 catalyst, synthesized by a facile one-pot procedure, was presented. Accordingly, effects of calcination temperature from 400, 500, 600 to 700 °C on the structure-activity properties of the magnetic Fe(NiFe)O4-SiO2 catalyst was systematically studied. The magnetic Fe(NiFe)O4-SiO2 catalyst calcined at 500 °C exhibited the best catalytic performance, giving full conversions of vanillin and furfural, with good selectivity of 63 and 59% to cyclohexane and n-pentane (fuel grade chemicals), respectively. The prowess of this catalyst was attributed to its abundant acid properties in addendum to high BET surface area.

Abstract
The strong electrostatic adsorption (SEA) method was applied to the synthesis of a cobalt (Co) catalyst on a multi-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) support. In order to uptake more of the cobalt cluster with higher dispersion, the CNT was functionalized via acid and thermal treatment. The Co/CNT catalyst samples were characterized by a range of methods including the Brunauer–Emmet–Teller (BET) surface area analyzer, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), and H2-temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR) analysis. The data from the TEM images revealed that the catalyst was highly dispersed over the external and internal walls of the CNT and that it demonstrated a narrow particle size of 6–8 nm. In addition, the data from the H2-TPR studies showed a lower reduction temperature (420 °C) for the pre-treated catalyst samples. Furthermore, a Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) reaction was chosen to evaluate the Co/CNT catalyst performance by using a fixed-bed microreactor at different parameters. Finally finding the optimum value of the cobalt loading percentage, particle size, and calcination conditions of Co/CNT catalyst resulted in a CO conversion and C5+ selectivity of 58.7% and 83.2%, respectively.

Abstract
This work reports the synthesis of heterostructured copper-ceria and iron-ceria nanorods and the role of their morphology, redox, and acid properties in catalytic diesel soot combustion. Microscopy images show the presence of nanocrystalline CuO (9.5 ± 0.5 nm) and Fe2O3 (7.3 ± 0.5 nm) particles on the surface of CeO2 nanorods (diameter is 8.5 ± 2 nm and length within 16-89 nm). In addition to diffraction peaks of CuO and Fe2O3 nanocrystallites, X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies reveal doping of Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions into the fluorite lattice of CeO2, hence abundant oxygen vacancies in the Cu/CeO2 and Fe/CeO2 nanorods, as evidenced by Raman spectroscopy studies. XRD and Raman spectroscopy studies further show substantial perturbations in Cu/CeO2 rods, resulting in an improved reducibility of bulk cerium oxide and formation of abundant Lewis acid sites, as investigated by H2-temperature-programmed reduction and pyridine-adsorbed Fourier transform infrared studies, respectively. The Cu/CeO2 rods catalyze the soot oxidation reaction at the lowest temperatures under both tight contact (Cu/CeO2; T50 = 358 °C, temperature at which 50% soot conversion is achieved, followed by Fe/CeO2; T50 = 368 °C and CeO2; T50 = 433 °C) and loose contact conditions (Cu/CeO2; T50 = 419 °C and Fe/CeO2; T50 = 435 °C). A possible mechanism based on the synergetic effect of redox and acid properties of Cu/CeO2 nanorods was proposed: acid sites can activate soot particles to form reactive carbon species, which are oxidized by gaseous oxygen/lattice oxygen activated in the oxygen vacancies (redox sites) of ceria rods.

Abstract
Solid-state grinding of palladium and copper salts allowed the growth of palladium/copper oxide interface at the zeolite-Y surface. The hybrid nanostructured material was used as reusable heterogeneous catalyst for selective oxidation of various benzyl alcohols. The large surface area provided by the zeolite-Y matrix highly influenced the catalytic activity, as well as the recyclability of the synthesized catalyst. Impregnation of PdO-CuO nanoparticles on zeolite crystallite leads to the generation of mesoporous channel that probably prevented the leaching of the metal-oxide nanoparticles and endorsed high mass transfer. Formation of mesoporous channel at the external surface of zeolite-Y was evident from transmission electron microscopy and surface area analysis. PdO-CuO nanoparticles were found to be within the range of 2-5 nm. The surface area of PdO-CuO-Y catalyst was found to be much lower than parent zeolite-Y. The decrease in surface area as well as the presence of hysteresis loop in the N2-adsoprtion isotherm further suggested successful encapsulation of PdO-CuO nanoparticles via the mesoporous channel formation. The high positive shifting in binding energy in both Pd and Cu was attributed to the influence of zeolite-Y framework on lattice contraction of metal oxides via confinement effect. PdO-CuO-Y catalyst was found to oxidize benzyl alcohol with 99% selectivity. On subjecting to microwave irradiation the same oxidation reaction was found to occur at ambient condition giving same conversion and selectivity.

Abstract
With the advancement of promising multifaceted powdered photocatalytic systems, problems related to environmental pollution and energy requirements have been addressed to a significant extent. The major reason for this great achievement lies in the combined effect of both structure modification and integration of different functional materials. Here, we report a ternary hybrid containing wide band gap CeO2 nanosheets with CdSQDs and Au nanoparticles, incorporated between this type II heterostructure through simple chemical reduction methods. Structural and morphological characterization of the fabricated samples was carried out by XRD, XPS, and TEM analysis. From a series of optical and photoelectrochemical measurements, it was found that the incorporation of Au nanoparticles into the interfaces of CeO2 and CdSQDs was the major cause of the enhancement in the photocatalytic activity. Au nanoparticles play a dual character by acting as a mediator and also inject hot electrons through LSPR (light-induced surface plasmon resonance) effects in the ternary hybrid. The photocatalytic activity of the fabricated samples was tested toward H2 evolution, where the ternary hybrid CeO2NS-Au-CdSQDs lead the activity sequence with 499 μmol/2 h followed by the binary and neat counterparts. From the Mott-Shottky and linear sweep voltammetry measurements, a heterostructure relay mechanism was predicted where electrons from CdSQDs flow to the surface of CeO2 via Au. The novelty of this work is that it provides useful information about the synergistic effect among three functional components, integrated in a nanosheet structured system, as the basic requirement for constructing good heterostructures in powdered photocatalytic systems.
