The layered and porous structure of the polymer offers a supported platform for metallic oxide anchoring, exhibiting a mesopore size of 3.93 nm and providing a surface area of 198.47 m2 g−1. The metallic oxides were uniformly and highly dispersed...
Nitrogen enriched carbon dots (CDs) are prepared by hydrothermal treatment with oxalic acid and ethylenediamine serving as raw materials. The obtained CDs display strong blue fluorescence emission at λex/λem = 320/410 nm, along with a quantum yield of 14%. It is interesting to obtain a linear increase of fluorescence with the variation of pH value within pH 5.01–8.94. Meanwhile, a favorable stability...
Carbon dots were prepared via a one-pot hydrothermal route, and a new solid-phase extraction (SPE) adsorbent was developed by immobilizing the carbon dots on the microcarrier cytopore, shortly termed as C-dots@cytopore. The C-dots@cytopore composites were characterized by means of FT-IR, SEM, XPS and fluorescence spectrometry. The performance of the composites for the adsorption of heavy metals was...
A multifunctional drug nanocarrier is developed by incorporating acetaldehyde-modified-cystine (AMC) into mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (MONs), shortly termed as MONs-AMC. The anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) links directly to MONs-AMC through electrostatic interaction between DOX and AMC to produce a conjugate, MONs-AMC-DOX, with a drug loading efficiency of 26.24 ± 1.35%, corresponding...
A suitable As(III)-binding ligand is the key to realize selective and sensitive As(III) sensing. In this study, phage display technique was used for the screening of As(III)-binding peptide. By negative screening against some representative metal cations and positive screening against target As(III), phages that bind to foreign metal cations were eliminated, while those bearing As(III)-binding peptides...
By virtue of the flexible structure of polyoxometalates, Ni2+ is encapsulated into trivacant lacunary tungstophosphate ligands by the form of [Ni4] cluster to offer a tetra-nickel substituted polyoxotungsate K6Na4[Ni4(H2O)2(PW9O34)2] (Ni4P2). The Ni4P2 is then immobilized onto the surface of SiO2 nanoparticles by self-assembly under electrostatic interactions to give the product of Ni4P2@SiO2 composites...
Acetone is a predominant volatile organic compound (VOC) in the exhaled breath and a promising biomarker for diabetes and ketoacidosis. A non-thermal micro-plasma generated in a planar dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is used as a radiation source for the excitation of gaseous acetone followed by its quantification with optical emission spectrometry (OES). Gaseous acetone can be directly sampled,...
Chemical vapor generation techniques have long been considered as important ways of sample introduction for analytical atomic spectrometry. In this paper, a low temperature plasma assisted chemical vapor generation method which avoids the massive use of consumptive chemical agents was proposed by using atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge. The plasma was generated by hydrogen doped argon...
Considerable analytical methods have been developed for arsenic speciation in the last 5 years, the details of these new arsenic speciation procedures are thus summarized in present mini review. The performances of various sample pretreatment techniques including solid phase extraction, liquid–liquid extraction, hydride generation, liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis, which offer effective...
Egg-shell membrane (ESM) is a promising adsorbent for heavy metal uptake. However, carboxylic groups on ESM surface barrier arsenic adsorption. Herein, ESM is modified by esterification and the methyl esterified egg-shell membrane (MESM) possesses positive charge within pH 1–9. As a novel green sorbent material, MESM exhibits 200-fold improvement on sorption capacity of arsenate with respect to bare...
A novel adsorbent was developed by coating Mg–FeCO 3 layered double hydroxides (LDHs) on cellulose fibre. The LDHs take up significant amount of selenite and selenate in a wide pH range with similar sorption capacities (pH 3.8–8.0 for selenite and pH 5.8–7.0 for selenate). A mini-column packed with Mg–FeCO 3 LDHs layer coated cellulose fibre particles was incorporated into a sequential...
A flow-through fluorescence optosensor with Sephadex G-50 microbeads as solid support is developed for the sensitive determination of tetracycline (TC). The fluorescent TC derivative encapsulated in CTAB micelle structures is retained onto the surface of the microbeads packed into a fluorescent flow cell in a flow system, followed by measurement of the native fluorescence of the TC derivative on the...
A novel adsorbent-silica gel bound dithizone (H 2 Dz-SG) was prepared and used as solid-phase extraction of copper from complex matrix. The H 2 Dz-SG is investigated by means of FT-IR spectra and the SEM images, demonstrating the bonding of dithizone. The H 2 Dz-SG quantitatively adsorb copper ions, and the retained copper is afterwards collected by elution of 10% (v/v) nitric...
The electrochemistry and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of novel three-dimensional nanostructured Ru(bpy) 32+ /Ni(OH) 2 microspheres were investigated for the first time. The negatively charged porous Ni(OH) 2 microspheres composed of Ni(OH) 2 nanowires were specifically designed to interact with Ru(bpy) 32+ . The large surface area and porous structure...
There is a great challenge to immobilize high density of probe molecules for high performance protein microarrays, and this is achieved in this work by using polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic substrate onto which glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) photopolymer is grafted under mild conditions to introduce high density of epoxy groups for covalent immobilization of proteins. The poly(GMA)-grafted PET...

Results showed that in the presence...
A simple, rapid flow injection chemiluminescence (FI-CL) method has been developed for selective determination of acenaphthylene (ACY), based on the CL produced in the reaction of tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(III) (Ru(bipy) 33+ ) and ACY in an acidic buffer solution.

The dominant role played by flow injection/sequential injection (FI/SI, including lab-on-valve, LOV) in automatic on-line sample pretreatments coupling to various detection techniques is amply demonstrated by the large number of publications it has given rise to. Among these, its hyphenation with hydride/vapor generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HG/VG-AFS) has become one of the most attractive...
Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), a conducting polymer, was electrochemically synthesized with p-toluenesulfonate (TSNa) as a dopant on gold surface.
