- Porous carbon nanofibers codoped with nitrogen and sulfur (NFs) were prepared by pyrolysis of trithiocyanuric acid, silica nanospheres and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) followed by electrospinning. The NFs were used to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) which then displayed highly sensitive response to traces of Cd(II). Compared to a bare GCE and a Nafion modified GCE, the GCE modified with codoped NFs shows improved sensitivity for Cd(II) in differential pulse anodic sweep voltammetry. The stripping peak current (typically measured at 0.81 V vs. Ag/AgCl) increases linearly in the 2.0–500 μg·L−1 Cd(II) concentration range. This is attributed to the large surface area (109 m2·g−1), porous structure, and high fraction of heteroatoms (19 at.% of N and 0.75 at.% of S). The method was applied to the determination of Cd(II) in (spiked) tap water where it gave recoveries that ranged between 96% and 103%.

- Carbon matrix materials are regarded as one of the most important electrode materials for heavy metal detection. But even so, optimization procedures of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) for tracing Cd(II) and Pb(II) remains challenging. Here, zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8)/polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-derived nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanofibers (N-PCNFs) were investigated as a new electrode material for determining the concentration of Cd(II) and Pb(II). By optimizing electrochemical conditions such as deposition potential, deposition time, pH of buffer solution, and quantity of N-PCNFs loaded on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), the linear response curves of Cd(II) and Pb(II) could be obtained. Due to the unique structural feature and N content, the N-PCNFs possess excellent detection limits of 0.8 mu g L-1 for Cd(II) and 0.3 mu g L-1 for Pb(II) (S/N = 3). To manifest the practical use of the sensor platform the concentration of Cd(II) and Pb(II) in normal tap and waste water were monitored. According to the ICP-MS results, the calculated recovery (97.0-107%) indicates that N-PCNFs have potential as a candidate material to monitor the concentration of Cd(II) and Pb(II) in practical samples.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A simple and easy method was implemented for the contemporary detection of cadmium (Cd2+) and lead (Pb2+) ions using 1,3,6,8-pyrenetetrasulfonic acid sodium salt-functionalized carbon nanotubes nanocomposites (PyTS-CNTs). The morphology and composition of the obtained PyTS-CNTs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The experimental results confirmed that the fabricated PyTS-CNTs exhibited good selectivity and sensitivity for metal ion-sensing owing to the insertion of sulfonic acid groups. For Cd2+ and Pb2+, some of the electrochemical sensing parameters were evaluated by varying data such as the PyTS-CNT quantity loaded on the pyrolytic graphite electrode (PGE), pH of the acetate buffer, deposition time, and deposition potential. These parameters were optimized with differential pulse anodic sweeping voltammetry (DPASV). Under the optimal condition, the stripping peak current of the PyTS-CNTs/Nafion/PGE varies linearly with the heavy metal ion concentration, ranging from 1.0 mu g L-1 to 90 mu g L-1 for Cd2+ and from 1.0 mu g L-1 to 110 mu g L-1 for Pb2+. The limits of detection were estimated to be approximately 0.8 mu g L-1 for Cd2+ and 0.02 mu g L-1 for Pb2+. The proposed PyTS CNTs/Nafion/PGE can be used as a rapid, simple, and controllable electrochemical sensor for the determination of toxic Cd2+ and Pb2+.

- An integrative electroanalytical method was developed for detecting Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions in aqueous solutions. Polysulfide/graphene (RGO-S) nanocomposites were prepared and their performance as electrochemical sensors for Cd2+ and Pb2+ was evaluated. The RGO-S nanocomposite was carefully characterized by scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The as-prepared RGO-S was incorporated into a pyrolytic graphite electrode (RGO-S/PGE) and used for detecting trace amount of Cd2+ and Pb2+ by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. Under optimal conditions, the stripping peak current of RGO-S/PGE varies linearly with heavy metal ion concentration in the ranges 2.0-300 mu g L-1 for Cd2+ and 1.0-300 mu g L-1 for Pb2+. The limits of detection for Cd2+ and Pb2+ were estimated to be about 0.67 mu g L-1 and 0.17 mu g L-1, respectively. The prepared electrochemical heavy-metal-detecting electrode provides good repeatability and reproducibility with high sensitivity, making it a suitable candidate for monitoring Cd2+ and Pb2+ concentrations in aqueous environmental samples.

- Various kinds of efforts have been devoted to ameliorate the serious volume-expansion effect and low electron conductivity of silicon-based materials in lithium ion batteries. Here, we report a facile high voltage sputtering process to prepare three-dimensional hierarchical porous nitrogen-doped carbon coated Si microsphere to significantly improve the lithium storage performance. The structure and morphology of the as-obtained samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope. The results indicate that the as-prepared composite is composed of silicon nanoparticles (similar to 100 nm) coated with conductive thin carbon layer (similar to 8.5 nm). The composite shows excellent lithium storage performance with a reversible capacity of 1565 mAh g(-1) after 100 cycles at a current density of 0.5 A g(-1), as well as a long cycling performance at the high current density of 2 A g(-1). The facile preparation process and highly silicon-loading (similar to 78%) makes the prepared material be a great potential application in lithium-ion batteries.

- The development of bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts with high efficiency, high stability, and low cost is of great significance to the industrialization of rechargeable Zn–air batteries. A widely accepted view is that the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) follow different catalytic mechanisms, and accordingly they need different active sites for catalysis. Transition metal elements have admirable electronic acceptance ability for coordinating with reactants, and this can weaken the bond energy between reactants, thus promoting the ORR or OER reactions. Herein, the ORR and OER activities of different transition metal supported nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes were systematically studied and compared. The optimal catalyst for synchronous ORR and OER was obtained by pyrolyzing melamine, cobalt nitrate, and nickel nitrate on carbon nanotubes, called cobalt–nickel supported nitrogen-mixed carbon nanotubes (CoNi–NCNT), which were equipped with two types of high-performance active sites—the Co/Ni–N–C structure for the ORR and CoNi alloy particles for the OER—simultaneously. Remarkably, the optimized CoNi–NCNT exhibited a satisfactory bifunctional catalytic activity for both the ORR and OER. The value of the oxygen electrode activity parameter, ΔE, of CoNi–NCNT was 0.81 V, which surpasses that of catalysts Pt/C and Ir/C, and most of the non-precious metal-based bifunctional electrocatalysts reported in previous literatures. Furthermore, a specially assembled rechargeable Zn–air cell with CoNi–NCNT loaded carbon paper as an air cathode was used to evaluate the practicability. As a result, a superior specific capacity of 744.3 mAh/gZn, a peak power density of 88 mW/cm2, and an excellent rechargeable cycling stability were observed, and these endow the CoNi–NCNT with promising prospects for practical application.

- An eco-friendly gamma-AlOOH-carbonated bacterial cellulose (gamma-AlOOH-CBC) hybrids material was fabricated by simple pyrolysis and hydrothermal treatments. The obtained hybrids possess an intrinsic 3D nanofibrous structure decorated with chaff-like gamma-AlOOH particles. Owing to the good adsorption property and conductive, gamma-AlOOH-CBC hybrids were used to modified the glass carbon electrode (GCE) for simultaneous determination of Cd(II) and Pb(II) in aqueous samples by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) method. Various parameters affected Cd(II) and Pb(II) measurement were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the limit of detection (S/N = 3) of the gamma-AlOOH-CBC modified electrode was evaluated to be 0.17 mu g.L-1 for Cd(II) and 0.10 mu g.L-1 for Pb(II) with the linear range of the calibration curves ranged 0.5-250 mu g.L-1 for Cd(II) and Pb(II). Furthermore, the developed electrode was also successfully utilized for monitoring trace Cd(II) and Pb(II) in drinking water samples with satisfactory results.

- In this work, N-doped hollow porous carbon spheres (N-HPCSs) were synthesized by silicon dioxide template-assisted polybenzoxazine (PB) coating strategy. The prepared N-HPCSs have a smooth hollow ball structure surrounded by a well-defined porous shell. Combining with in-situ plating of Bi film, the N-HPCSs were further fabricated a sensitive electrochemical platform for determination trace levels of Cd(II) by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). Under the optimized conditions, the Bi-N-HPCSs based sensor displays a linear response to Cd(II) over the range of 0.5gL(-1) to 150gL(-1). Meanwhile, the limit of detection (LOD, S/N=3) is estimated to be around 0.16gL(-1) for Cd(II), which is 31 times lower than the safety values set by United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the drinking water. Moreover, the proposed method was successfully applied to detection of Cd(II) in tap water and lake water, and the analytical results of the presented method are agreed well with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) data. Due to the excellent analytical performance, the fabricated electrode is promised for future development in monitoring of cadmium pollution in the environment.

- Nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon (NMC) derived from a single small-molecule protic salt (p-phenylenediamine bisulfate) is used for sensing toxic heavy metal ions. Using Nafion, bismuth and NMC to anchor the glassy carbon electrode surface, the fabricate electrode shows high sensitivity for detecting Cd(II) and Pb(II). The limits of detection (S/N = 3) are estimated to be 0.3 mu g L-1 for Cd(II) and 0.4 mu g L-1 for Pb(II), respectively, which are 10 and 25 times lower than the maximum acceptable content for drinking water recommended by the WHO. Furthermore, the sensor is successfully used to analyze Cd(II) and Pb(II) in tap-water with high anti-interference capability and good recovery.

- The authors describe the preparation of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with a three-dimensional network structure by one-step carbonization of bacterial cellulose at 800 degrees C. The 3D CNFs wrapped with Nafion polymer were cast on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) which then enables sensitive detection of Cd(II) and Pb(II). Under optimized conditions and at typical stripping peaks of around -0.80 and -0.55 V (vs Ag/AgCl), the electrode exhibits high sensitivity and a wide analytical range of 2-100 mu g.L-1 for both Cd(II) and Pb(II). The detection limits are 0.38 mu g.L-1 for Cd(II) and 0.33 mu g.L-1 for Pb(II), respectively. The modified GCE was successfully employed to the determination of trace amounts of Cd(II) and Pb(II) in both tap water and waste water.
