Hydroxylated graphene quantum dots as fluorescent probes for sensitive detection of metal ions

Highly sensitive methods are important for monitoring the concentration of metal ions in industrial wastewater.Here,we developed a new probe for the determination of metal ions by fluorescence quenching.The probe consists of hydroxylated graphene quantum dots(H-GQDs),prepared from GQDs by electrochemical method followed by surface hydroxylation.It is a non-reactive indicator with high sensitivity and detection limits of 0.01μM for Cu2+,0.005μM for Al3+,0.04μM for Fe3+,and 0.02μM for Cr3+.In addition,the low biotoxicity and excellent solubility of H-GQDs make them promising for application in wastewater metal ion detection.

Highly sensitive and stable SERS probes of alternately deposited Ag and Au layers on 3D SiO2 nanogrids for detection of trace mercury ions

The hazard of Hg ion pollution triggers the motivation to explore a fast, sensitive, and reliable detection method. Here, we design and fabricate novel 36-nm-thick Ag-Au composite layers alternately deposited on three-dimensional （3D） periodic SiO2 nanogrids as surface-enhanced Raman scattering （SERS） probes. The SERS effects of the probes depend mainly on the positions and intensities of their localized surface plasmon resonance （LSPR） peaks, which is confirmed by the absorption spectra from finite-difference time-domain （FDTD） calculations. By optimizing the structure and material to maximize the intrinsic electric field enhancement based on the design method of 3D periodic SERS probes proposed, high performance of the Ag-Au/SiO2 nanogrid probes is achieved with the stability further enhanced by annealing. The optimized probes show the outstanding stability with only 4.0% SERS intensity change during 10-day storage, the excellent detection uniformity of 5.78% （RSD）, the detection limit of 5.0 × 10-12 M （1 ppt）, and superior selectivity for Hg ions. The present study renders it possible to realize the rapid and reliable detection of trace heavy metal ions by developing high- performance 3D periodic structure SERS probes by designing novel 3D structure and optimizing plasmonic material.

Sensitive Determination of Metal Ions in Drinking Water by Capillary Electrophoresis Coupled with Contactless Conductivity Detection Using 18-Crown-6 Ether and Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Bromide as Complexing Reagents

A simple, economical, and sensitive capillary electrophoresis (CE) method integrated with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection was developed for the determination of metal ions such as K+, Na+, Mg2+, Sr2+, Ca2+ in drinking water. 18-Crown-6 ether and Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB) were employed as complexing reagents. The effects of electrolyte additives, citric acid buffer solution, and other separation conditions of CE were comprehensively investigated and carefully optimized. The best results were obtained in a running buffer solution composed of citric acid (12 mM), 18-crown-6 ether (0.2 mM), and CTAB (0.015 mM) at pH 3.5. Under these conditions, a complete separation of five metal ions was successfully achieved in less than 12 min. The limits of detection for the optimal procedure were determined to be in the range of 0.02 - 0.2 mg·L-1. The repeatability with respect to migration times and peak areas, expressed as relative standard deviations, was better than 2.3% and 5.1%, respectively. Evaluation of the efficiency of the methodology indicated that it was reliable for the determination of metal ions in six different brands of drinking water samples.

Mesoporous SiO_2 Nanoparticles:A Unique Platform Enabling Sensitive Detection of Rare Earth Ions with Smartphone Camera

Fast and sensitive detection of dilute rare earth species still represents a challenge for an on-site survey of new resources and evaluation of the economic value. In this work, a robust and low-cost protocol has been developed to analyze the concentration of rare earth ions using a smartphone camera. The success of this protocol relies on mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MSNs) with large-area negatively charged surfaces, on which the rare earth cations(e.g., Eu^(3+)) are efficiently adsorbed through electrostatic attraction to enable a ‘‘concentrating effect''. The initial adsorption rate is as fast as 4025 mg(g min)^(-1), and the adsorption capacity of Eu^(3+)ions in the MSNs is as high as 4730 mg g^(-1)(equivalent to ～41.2 M) at 70 °C. The concentrated Eu^(3+)ions in the MSNs can form a complex with a light sensitizer of 1,10-phenanthroline to significantly enhance the characteristic red emission of Eu^(3+)ions due to an ‘‘antenna effect'' that relies on the efficient energy transfer from the light sensitizer to the Eu^(3+)ions.The positive synergy of ‘‘concentrating effect'' and ‘‘antenna effect'' in the MSNs enables the analysis of rare earth ions in a wide dynamic range and with a detection limit down to ～80 nM even using a smartphone camera. Our results highlight the promise of the protocol in fieldwork for exploring valuable rare earth resources.

Sign Response Mechanism of TCA Self-assembled Fluorescence Probe for Cu^2＋ Detection： FRET Evidence by DFT

A new type of self-assembled molecule ON-OFF fluorescence probe for toxic transition metal ions, made up of thiacalix[4]arene, micelle and fluorescence group, has been studied by DFT/TDDFT method combined with experiment spectra. Since the mechanism of the optical quenching signal response of such self-assembled micelle probe has always been a controversial issue of uncertainty, the spatial construction and geometric structures of the functional units of probe in the Cu2＋ ion detecting process were calculated and the mechanism was investigated by the molecular transition orbital pairs method to explore the origination of ON-OFF fluorescence sign response. The results presented that the signal response mechanism of the micelle probe is ascribed to F？rster resonance energy transfer（FRET） which provides new sights different from most of the conclusions by the related research work reported.

Determination of toluene diisocyanate in synthetic-rubber track by ion chromatography with ultraviolet detection after alkaline suppressor

In the present work, a novel analytical method was proposed for the determination of toluene diisocyanate （TDI） in syntheticrubber track by ion chromatography （IC） coupled with an ultraviolet detector setting at 212 nm. TDI can be hydrolyzed to toluene diamine （TDA） which can be separated by cation-exchange IC easily. The optimum IC separation was performed on an IonPac CS12A column （150 mm ×4.0 mm） using 20 mmol L^-1 sodium sulfate, 10 mmol L^-1 sulfuric acid and 10% acetonitrile as eluent. It was found that a higher signal response of TDA could be obtained under alkaline condition. A suppressor was used to change the acidic eluent into alkaline one. 0.8 mol L^-1 potassium hydroxide was chosen as the optimum regeneration eluent. With the added suppressor and regenerant, signal response was magnified by about 16 times and lower limit of detection （LOD, 0.13 μg L^-1） was obtained. Within-day relative standard deviation （R.S.D.） was less than 3.6%. The recoveries of TDI spiked in synthetic-rubber track samoles were 96.4-110.6%.

A Simple and Rapid Method for the Detection of Non-Ionic Surfactants

A spectrophotometric approach for the detection of non-ionic surfactant (Triton X-100) has been proposed in this paper. This method does not involve extraction of the ion-associate with harmful solvents, but employs adhesion of the ion-association of potassium/non-ionic surfactants complex and tetraphenylporphyrin tetrasulfonic acid obtained by vigorous shaking. The adhered ion-associate was dissolved with water and its absorbance was measured. The sensitivity for Triton X-100 was determined to be 0.146 (expressed as absorbance of 1 mg/L solution). The adhesion tendency of ion-associate was found to be dependent on the water contact angle, which in turn was influenced by a high adhesion of the ion-associate and by low blank values. In this respect, a tetrafluo-roethylene vessel was found to be the most suitable for the detection of non-ionic surfactants. This spectrophotometrical method is simply and rapidly performed by a procedure based on mechanical shaking and can be employed to detect non-ionic surfactants containing more than 7 polyethylene oxide units.

Electrocatalytic Oxidation and Ion Chromatography Detection of S_2O^(2-)_3, SO^(2-)_3, I^- and SCN^- at Glassy Carbon Electrode with Functionalized Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes Film

In this research, a glassy carbon electrode modified with the functionalized multi-wall carbon nanotubes(MWNT-COOHs) film was used as an amperometric sensor for the determination of S_2O^(2-)_3, SO^(2-)_3, I^- and SCN^-. The electrochemical behavior of those oxidizable inorganic anions at this modified electrode was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry(CV). The experimental results indicate that the modified electrode exhibits a high electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of those anions with a relatively high sensitivity, a good stability and a long-life. Separated by ion chromatography(IC) with 1.25 mmol/L H_2SO_4 as an eluent, those oxidizable anions can be determined by the MWNT-COOHs modified electrode successfully. Under the optimal chromatographic conditions, the detection limits are 1.5×10^(-7) mol/L for S_2O^(2-)_3, 2.5×10^(-7) mol/L for SO^(2-)_3, 1.2×10^(-7) mol/L for I^- and 2.0×10^(-7) mol/L for SCN^-, respectively. The method was applied successfully to the determination of those anions in environmental water

Ion Radiation Detection Using Implanted Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene Structures (UHMWPE)

The effect of ion implantation, including Ar+ ion with influences (1 × 1013 - 1015 ions/cm2), on the electrical and optical properties of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) were investigated with particular emphasis placed on the sensor performance to be used in the field of radiation detection. The obtained results focusing on the effect of the different influences showed a significant change in the electrical conductivity, capacitance and loss tangent. The absorption spectra for UHMWPE samples were recorded and the values of the allowed direct and indirect optical energy gap (Eopt)d, (Eopt)in of UHMWPE and energies of the localized states for the virgin and implanted samples were calculated. We found that the optical energy gap values decreased as the radiation dose increased. The results can be explained on the basis of the ion beam radiation-induced damage in the linear chains of UHMWPE, with cross-linking generated after implantation. The observed changes in both the optical and the electrical properties suggest that the UHMWPE film may be considered as an effective material to achieve ion-radiation detection at room temperature.
