NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:806. [PMID: 38727400 PMCID: PMC11085509 DOI: 10.3390/nano14090806] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Heavy metal poisoning has a life-threatening impact on the human body to aquatic ecosystems. This necessitates designing a convenient green methodology for the fabrication of an electrochemical sensor that can detect heavy metal ions efficiently. In this study, boron (B) and nitrogen (N) co-doped laser-induced porous graphene (LIGBN) nanostructured electrodes were fabricated using a direct laser writing technique. The fabricated electrodes were utilised for the individual and simultaneous electrochemical detection of lead (Pb2+) and cadmium (Cd2+) ions using a square wave voltammetry technique (SWV). The synergistic effect of B and N co-doping results in an improved sensing performance of the electrode with better sensitivity of 0.725 µA/µM for Pb2+ and 0.661 µA/µM for Cd2+ ions, respectively. Moreover, the sensing electrode shows a low limit of detection of 0.21 µM and 0.25 µM for Pb2+ and Cd2+ ions, with wide linear ranges from 8.0 to 80 µM for Pb2+ and Cd2+ ions and high linearity of R2 = 0.99 in case of simultaneous detection. This rapid and facile method of fabricating heteroatom-doped porous graphene opens a new avenue in electrochemical sensing studies to detect various hazardous metal ions.

Abstract
Two-dimensional metal oxide (MO) nanostructures have unique properties compared with their bulk or 0D and 1D (nanoparticle and nanowire) counterparts. Their abundant surface area and atomically thin 2D structure are advantageous for their applications in catalysis and energy, as well as integration with 2D layered materials such as graphene and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). However, fast and scalable synthesis of 2D MOs and their nanocomposites remains challenging. Here, we developed a microwave-assisted solid-state synthesis method for the scalable generation of 2D MOs and 2D MO/rGO nanocomposites with tunable structure and composition. The structures and properties of 2D Fe2O3 and 2D ZnO as well as their nanocomposites with rGO were systematically investigated. The excellent electrochemical properties of such 2D MO/rGO nanocomposites also enable us to use them as electrode materials to fabricate microsupercapacitors. This work provides new insights into the scalable and solid-state synthesis of 2D nanocomposites and their potential applications in catalysis, energy conversion and storage.

Abstract
The collective total syntheses of (±)-hosieines A-C with a cage-like tetracyclic framework have been realized, which includes the first syntheses of hosieines B-C. The key strategy of the synthesis employs a one-pot domino reaction that involves Cu-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition, 1,6-enone formation, and 1,6-aza-Michael addition forming the 5/6/6-aza-tricyclic skeleton. Other salient synthetic tactics comprise a challenging double bond migration and a 1,4-aza-Michael addition reaction to afford the tetracyclic framework.

Abstract
Laser-induced graphene (LIG) is a porous carbon nanomaterial that can be produced by irradiation of CO2 laser directly on the polymer substrate under ambient conditions. LIG has many merits over conventional graphene, such as simple and fast synthesis, tunable structure and composition, high surface area and porosity, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, and good flexibility and stability. These properties make LIG a promising material for energy applications, such as supercapacitors, batteries, fuel cells, and solar cells. In this review, we highlight the recent advances of LIG in energy materials, covering the fabrication methods, performance enhancement strategies, and device integration of LIG-based electrodes and devices in the area of hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, zinc-air batteries, and supercapacitors. This comprehensive review examines the potential of LIG for future sustainable and efficient energy material development, highlighting its versatility and multifunctionality in energy conversion.

Abstract
Graphene presents practical applications in energy storage devices, especially supercapacitors. However, mainstream synthesis of graphene includes toxic chemical usage, which threatens the environment. With the recent attention shift to synthesizing nanomaterials from agro-waste due to their easy availability, cost-effectiveness, and, most importantly, their environmental friendliness, we present, in this work for the first time, a novel and green synthesis of few-layered graphene sheets using pomegranate peels as a precursor at a low temperature of 80 °C. The surface morphology and microstructural properties are determined by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), and the electrical properties determined by Hall Effect Measurement. The application as a supercapacitor is also examined using Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Charge-Discharge Cycling (GCD), and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The resulting supercapacitor delivers an areal capacitance of [Formula: see text] at a current density of 15.6 μA [Formula: see text], making our synthesized graphene a good choice for electrochemical storage devices.

Abstract
Self-supporting electrode materials with the advantages of a simple operation process and the avoidance of the use any binders are promising candidates for supercapacitors. In this work, carbon-based self-supporting electrode materials with nanosheets grown on Al foil were prepared by combining hydrothermal reaction and the one-step chemical vapor deposition method. The effect of the concentration of the reaction solution on the structures as well as the electrochemical performance of the prepared samples were studied. With the increase in concentration, the nanosheets of the samples became dense and compact. The CNS-120 obtained from a 120 mmol zinc nitrate aqueous solution exhibited excellent electrochemical performance. The CNS-120 displayed the highest areal capacitance of 6.82 mF cm-2 at the current density of 0.01 mA cm-2. Moreover, the CNS-120 exhibited outstanding rate performance with an areal capacitance of 3.07 mF cm-2 at 2 mA cm-2 and good cyclic stability with a capacitance retention of 96.35% after 5000 cycles. Besides, the CNS-120 possessed an energy density of 5.9 μWh cm-2 at a power density of 25 μW cm-2 and still achieved 0.3 μWh cm-2 at 4204 μW cm-2. This work provides simple methods to prepared carbon-based self-supporting materials with low-cost Al foil and demonstrates their potential for realistic application of supercapacitors.
