A hydrothermal synthetic approach is developed for the preparation of graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots (g-C3N4 QDs) from human urine. The reported synthetic method is green, simple, low-cost, less time-consuming, and can be used for the large-scale production of the g-C3N4 QDs. The as-prepared g-C3N4 QDs possess a high quantum yield of 15.7% by using quinine sulfate as a reference, and display...
In this paper, we constructed a novel label-free analytical strategy for highly sensitive and selective detection of nitrofurantoin (NFT) based on adenosine-stabilized copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) as nanoprobes. It was found that NFT caused a rapid decrease in the photoluminescence intensity of CuNCs. The photoluminescence quenching was likely attributed to the inner filter effect between NFT and CuNCs...
Poly (glycidylmethacrylate-divinylbenzene) (Poly (GMA-DVB)) microspheres were prepared by the two-staged swelling and polymerization method, and modified with octadecylamine (ODA) to obtain ODA-poly (GMA-DVB) stationary phase for HPLC. The new material was characterized by scanning electron microscope, nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurement, Fourier transform infrared spectrum, elemental analysis...
Short-wavelength infrared radiation has been successfully applied to accelerate the acid digestion of refractory rare-earth ore samples. Determinations were achieved with microwave plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (MP-AES) and dynamic reaction cell – inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (DRC-ICP-MS). The digestion method developed was able to tackle high iron-oxide and silicate matrices...
Poly (glycidylmethacrylate-divinylbenzene) microspheres were prepared by the two-staged swelling and polymerization method and applied to prepare anion exchange stationary phases. Methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine and triethylamine were selected to prepare the quaternary ammonium groups of anion exchangers, respectively. The diameters and surface characteristics of microspheres...
Focused infrared radiation-based digestions, for the determination of gold and silver, can be achieved in a timeframe as short as 10–15min, making it an attractive candidate technology for the mining industry, where very large numbers of samples are analyzed on a daily basis. An investigation was carried out into gold and silver dissolution chemistry from geological samples using this novel digestion...
Tungsten disulfide (WS2) is a two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide, which is of particular interest because it has highly anisotropic bonding, which leads to strongly anisotropic electrical and mechanical properties. Thus, in this work, a simple hydrothermal process was developed to produce photoluminescence from WS2 dots. This was achieved in the presence of sodium tungstate and reduced...
A novel, highly selective resonance light scattering (RLS) method was researched and developed for the analysis of phenol in different types of industrial water. An important aspect of the method involved the use of graphene quantum dots (GQDs), which were initially obtained from the pyrolysis of citric acid dissolved in aqueous solutions. The GQDs in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and...
Study of the interactions between proteins and nanomaterials is of great importance for understanding of protein nanoconjugate. In this work, we choose human serum albumin (HSA) and citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as a model of protein and nanomaterial, and combine UV–vis spectroscopy with multivariate curve resolution by an alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) algorithm to present a new...
A sensitive biosensor with supramolecular architecture was designed and implemented here to detect choline. Choline oxidase and horseradish peroxidase were assembled onto the polymer of thiolated β-cyclodextrin and platinum nanoparticles modified gold electrode through 1-adamantane carboxylic acid coupling. Square wave voltammetry showed that the reduction currents at 0.38mV had a linear relationship...
Scutellarin, a flavone glucuronide of 5,6,4′-trihydroxyflavone-7-O-glucoronide, is the main active component of the traditional Chinese botanic drug Erigeron breviscapus (Vant.) Hand.-Mazz. In this study, a method based on ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (UPLC/TOF MS) was established and validated to profile the metabolites of scutellarin in...
Disturbances in maternal folate, homocysteine, and glutathione metabolism have been reported to be associated with neural tube defects (NTDs). However, the role played by specific components in the metabolic pathways leading to NTDs remains unclear. Thus an analytical method for simultaneous measurement of sixteen compounds involved in such three metabolic pathways by high performance liquid chromatography–tandem...
This paper describes a simple and sensitive kinetic spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of Amaranth, Ponceau 4R, Sunset Yellow, Tartrazine and Brilliant Blue in mixtures with the aid of chemometrics. The method involved two coupled reactions, viz. the reduction of iron(III) by the analytes to iron(II) in sodium acetate/hydrochloric acid solution (pH 1.71) and the chromogenic...
