Nanotechnology Research Centre

This study presents the development of a novel multifunctional adsorbent Cu-BTC (HKUST-1)/Zeolite A4 composite functionalized with tannic acid—for the efficient removal of toxic heavy metal ions (Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cr(VI)) from aqueous solutions. The composite was synthesized via a solvothermal process and systematically characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDS, and BET surface area analysis. The resulting material exhibited a high specific surface area (1050 m²/g), a hierarchical pore structure, and a homogeneous distribution of active sites. Batch adsorption experiments revealed superior adsorption capacities of 220 mg/g for Pb²⁺, 180 mg/g for Cd²⁺, and 150 mg/g for Cr(VI) at pH 6, surpassing those …

The objective of this study is to fabricate solid-contact ion selective electrodes (SC-ISEs) that have long term stable potential. Various conducting polymers such as polyaniline and its derivatives have been successfully employed to improve the potential stability in SC-ISEs. Recently, the role of hydrophobicity at the interface between the conducting polymer solid contact and the ion sensing membrane has been investigated and figured out that the hydrophobic interfaces preclude water layer formation that deteriorate the SC-ISEs potential stability and reproducibility. In this work, a hydrophobic polyaniline derivative was fabricated on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode by electropolymerization of …

Pharmacy

A newly developed spectrofluorometric method is based on the fabrication of an optical cyanopyridine derived sensor, 4-(6-diaryl)-2-oxo -1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile using microwave irradiation. The fluorescence intensity of the proposed chemo sensor was obviously quenched in DMSO owing to the presence of UO22+ ions at λex/λem = 320/360 nm. The quenching effect of the cyano-derivative based sensor was found to be proportional to the concentration of UO22+ ion ranging between 9.60 × 10–9–5.28 × 10–5 mol L−1 with a detection and quantification limits of 1.71 × 10–11 and 5.2 × 10–11 mol L−1, respectively. © 2021, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.

All Solid-State Miniaturized Potentiometric Sensors For Flunitrazepam Determination In Beverages, Ekram Hany Mohamed, Mahmoud Tantawy, Ali Yahia

Pharmacy

Flunitrazepam is one of the frequently used hypnotic drugs to incapacitate victims for sexual assault. Appropriate diagnostic tools should be available to victims regarding the growing concern about “date-rape drugs” and their adverse impact on society. Miniaturized screen-printed potentiometric sensors offer crucial point-of-care devices that alleviate this serious problem. In this study, all solid-state screen-printed potentiometric flunitrazepam sensors have been designed. The paper device was printed with silver and carbon ink. Formation of an aqueous layer in the interface between carbon-conducting material and ion-sensing membrane nevertheless poses low reproducibility in the solid-contact electrodes. Accordingly, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDT) nano-dispersion was applied as …
