A critical step in the process for preventing and identifying emergencies relating to health, safety, and welfare is the testing and quick diagnosis of microbial pathogens. Due to the fast spread of waterborne and food borne infections in society and the high costs associated with them, pathogen identification has emerged as one of the most difficult parts of the water and food sectors. Since the turn of the century, pathogens have demonstrated enormous epidemiological and pandemic potential. The emergence and dissemination of a novel virus with pandemic potential endanger the livelihoods and well-being of individuals worldwide. The severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV-2) coronavirus pandemic has propagated to almost every country on Earth and has had a considerable negative influence on economies and communities. Despite improvements in identification techniques for viral diseases, all nations must now execute biosensing in a speedy, sensitive, focused, and consistent manner in order to address pressing global issues. Hence, in this review, we have critically summarised the recent advancement of electrochemical as well as optical biosensors for the monitoring of SARS-COV-2 and various pathogens. Then, we began by providing a technical overview of cutting-edge strategies utilised to combat diseases and emergencies for it, including the utilisation of point-of-care technology (POCT), artificial intelligence (AI), and the internet of medical things (IoMT). This review article explores the integration of POC, IoMT, and AI technologies in the context of personal healthcare, focusing on their potential to expedite the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes. Subsequently, the notion and execution of multiplex testing are presented to enhance the comprehension of detecting multiple analytes. Finally, conclusions and future directions have been presented.
在预防和确定与健康、安全和福利有关的紧急情况的过程中,一个关键步骤是检测和快速诊断微生物病原体。由于水媒和食源性感染在社会上的迅速传播以及与之相关的高昂费用,病原体鉴定已成为水和食品部门最困难的部分之一。自世纪之交以来,病原体已显示出巨大的流行病学和大流行潜力。一种具有大流行潜力的新型病毒的出现和传播危及全世界个人的生计和福祉。严重急性呼吸系统综合征-冠状病毒-2 (SARS-COV-2)冠状病毒大流行已蔓延到地球上几乎所有国家,并对经济和社区产生了相当大的负面影响。尽管病毒性疾病的鉴定技术有所改进,但所有国家现在都必须以迅速、敏感、集中和一致的方式实施生物传感,以解决紧迫的全球问题。因此,在这篇综述中,我们批判性地总结了电化学和光学生物传感器监测SARS-COV-2和各种病原体的最新进展。然后,我们首先提供了用于对抗疾病和紧急情况的尖端战略的技术概述,包括利用护理点技术(POCT)、人工智能(AI)和医疗物联网(IoMT)。这篇综述文章探讨了POC、IoMT和AI技术在个人医疗保健背景下的整合,重点关注它们加速医疗状况诊断和治疗的潜力,最终改善患者的治疗效果。随后,提出了多重测试的概念和执行,以提高对检测多种分析物的理解。最后,提出了结论和未来的发展方向。

Silicon carbide is a crucial structure material because of its wide applications in different fields, such as electronics. The impurities have negative impact on the homogenous sinterability of nano SiC during the sintering process, especially the silicon dioxide. So, the consolidation of SiC nanopowders was conducted by the microwave-current assisted sintering process. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) were utilised to examine the nanopowders and sintered samples of SiC. The results showed that the smallest average grain sizes of sintered specimens of treated and untreated-SiC nanopowders were 331 and 428 nm, respectively. The relative densities of sintered specimens of treated and untreated-SiC nanopowders were around 97.1% and 93.8%, respectively. In conclusion, the nanostructure of sintered SiC was the benchmark of the microwave-current assisted sintering technique.

Various techniques were employed to prepare a dual support system of CeZrO2 and H-ZSM-5 (80) including physically mixing, co-precipitation and sonochemical methods, which were followed by the deposition of bimetallic Pd and Pt via wet impregnation to obtain the final catalysts. The catalysts were tested in the total methane oxidation between 200 and 500 °C and the most active is the material derived from sonochemical synthesis. This catalyst achieved a remarkable methane conversion of 84% at a low temperature of 300 °C and high Gas Hourly Space Velocity (GHSV) of 100000 ml g−1 h−1. Characterisation using x-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), scanning electron microscope (SEM), scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), Energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) techniques revealed the intimate distribution of catalyst components and facile redox behaviour of both Pd and CeZrO2 components. The catalysts based on sonochemical CeZrO2 was proven to be relatively stable with only 7% methane conversion loss after 50 h continuously on stream at 300 °C compared to the corresponding 14% witnessed with the commercial TiO2-based material.

Studying the structural and optical properties of Er3+ doped TiO2 powders synthesized by the sol-gel process 溶胶-凝胶法制备掺Er3+TiO2粉体的结构与光学性能研究

A series of TiO2:xEr powders (with x from 0% to 1% at.) was synthesised by a simple sol–gel process. The structural and optical properties were studied in detail using diffusion reflection spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, to systematically determine the band edge, morphology, and structural properties of both undoped and Er-doped TiO2 samples. Notably, the introduction of Er dopants in the TiO2 matrix results in a decrease in both the band gap and crystallite size as well as the anatase phase of host matrix TiO2 remained in the anatase phase even at 800 °C. The heat treatment temperature has an insignificant effect on the green/red emission ratio of Er ions. However, this ratio strongly depends on excitation wavelengths corresponding to down-conversion and up-conversion processes. The colour emission of TiO2:Er is easily tunable from green to yellow under different excitations. The emission mechanism of TiO2:Er is proposed based on spectroscopy techniques. These findings reveal that the TiO2:Er powders are potential materials for labelling and photocatalyst applications.
通过简单的溶胶-凝胶工艺合成了一系列TiO2:xEr粉末(x为0%-1%at.)。使用扩散反射光谱、x射线衍射、拉曼光谱、高分辨率透射电子显微镜和能量色散x射线光谱对结构和光学性能进行了详细研究,以系统地确定未掺杂和掺铒TiO2样品的带边、形态和结构性能。值得注意的是,在TiO2基体中引入Er掺杂剂导致带隙和晶粒尺寸减小,并且即使在800°C下,主体基体TiO2的锐钛矿相仍保持在锐钛矿相中。热处理温度对Er离子的绿/红发射比影响不大。然而,该比率强烈地取决于对应于下转换和上转换过程的激发波长。在不同的激发下,TiO2:Er的颜色发射很容易从绿色调谐到黄色。基于光谱学技术,提出了TiO2:Er的发射机理。这些发现表明,TiO2:Er粉末是标记和光催化剂应用的潜在材料。

The role of interstitial atomic doping on transport properties of graphene was systematically studied using first-principles density functional theory (DFT). The study revealed that interstitial Au doping results in a p-type transfer of holes to graphene as the dopant concentration increases to 25%, with the Dirac point shifting to the Fermi level and localised states of atomic dopants appearing at the Fermi level and at energy of −1 eV. Ca, Ag and Al interstitial doping induces an n-type transfer of electrons to graphene with the Dirac point moving away from the Fermi level and localised states appearing at the Fermi level and at energy levels of ∼2 eV for Ca, around −3.5 eV for Ag, −3.5 eV and ∼1.6 eV for Al. As the dopant concentration increases further to 50%, the number of holes (or electrons) decreases for all dopants, except for Ca, as the localised state at the Fermi level disappears, and the Dirac point returns towards the Fermi level. Our research provides insights into how to reconcile the localised state and the number of charge carriers that play a significant role in the transport properties of interstitial doped graphene.

Analyzing the role of Ni dopant to change the structural, optical and photocatalytic properties of SnO2 nanoparticles 分析Ni掺杂对SnO2纳米颗粒结构、光学和光催化性能的影响

SnO2 and 5 wt% Ni doped SnO2 nanoparticles (SnO2:Ni NPs) were successfully synthesised by a template-free hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns depicted polycrystalline nature of the NPs in rutile-type cassiterite phase with dominant (110) and (101) Bragg diffraction peaks. Rietveld refinement of XRD patterns supported single phase tetragonal crystal structure having space group P42/m n m. With Ni doping, crystallite size of NPs decreased from 39 nm to 35 nm whereas lattice strain increased from 3.56 × 10−3 to 3.99 × 10−3. This is attributed to the substitution of Sn4+ ion by Ni2+ ions. The morphology of the SnO2 NPs also changed from regular spherical shape to elongated irregular shape upon Ni doping. The dominant Raman peak obtained at 634 cm−1 matched with the signature peak for rutile SnO2 (Raman A1g mode). Further, we observed disappearance of E g mode due to Ni doping, which indicated the formation of oxygen vacancies. Also, XPS analysis indicated an increase of oxygen vacancy concentration in the doped NPs due to charge imbalance between Sn4+ and Ni2+. The direct optical band gap of SnO2 increased from 3.97 eV to 4.11 eV when doped with 5 wt% Ni and it is ascribed to Burstein–Moss effect. Irrespective of higher optical band gap of SnO2:Ni NPs, they showed enhanced photocatalytic activity to degrade Rhodamine B (RhB) dye molecules under UV-visible irradiation. The first order kinetic reaction rate constants for degradation of RhB were found to be 0.014 min−1 and 0.045 min−1 in case of SnO2 and SnO2:Ni NPs respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic activity in SnO2:Ni NPs is explained by relating to the formation of more oxygen vacancies and chemisorptions of O2 and H2O molecules followed by generation of radicals. This work demonstrates the superiority of SnO2:Ni NPs for use as photocatalytic material for industrial waste water treatment.
采用无模板水热法成功合成了SnO2和5wt % Ni掺杂的SnO2纳米粒子(SnO2:Ni NPs)。x射线衍射(XRD)图显示了金红石型锡石相中NPs的多晶性质,并以(110)和(101)布拉格衍射峰为主。XRD谱图的Rietveld细化支持具有空间群P42/m nm的单相四方晶体结构。Ni掺杂后,NPs的晶粒尺寸从39 nm减小到35 nm,晶格应变从3.56 × 10−3增加到3.99 × 10−3。这是由于Sn4+离子被Ni2+离子取代所致。Ni掺杂后,SnO2 NPs的形貌也由规则的球形变为细长的不规则形状。在634 cm−1处获得的优势拉曼峰与金红石SnO2的特征峰(拉曼A1g模式)相匹配。此外,我们观察到由于Ni掺杂导致的E - g模式消失,这表明形成了氧空位。此外,XPS分析表明,由于Sn4+和Ni2+之间的电荷不平衡,掺杂的NPs中氧空位浓度增加。当掺杂5 wt% Ni时,SnO2的直接光学带隙由3.97 eV增加到4.11 eV,这归因于Burstein-Moss效应。尽管SnO2:Ni NPs的光学带隙较大,但在紫外可见照射下,它们对罗丹明B (Rhodamine B, RhB)染料分子的光催化活性增强。在SnO2和SnO2:Ni NPs中,RhB降解的一级动力学速率常数分别为0.014 min−1和0.045 min−1。SnO2:Ni NPs的光催化活性增强与形成更多的氧空位和O2和H2O分子的化学吸附以及自由基的产生有关。本研究证明了SnO2:Ni NPs作为光催化材料用于工业废水处理的优越性。

This work demonstrates the superiority of SnO2:Ni NPs for use as photocatalytic material for industrial waste water treatment.","PeriodicalId":7359,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Natural Sciences: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47659368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Perspective applications of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) stimulate intense research on their affordable synthesis, including green routes. The use of fungi extracts has advantages over other organisms, because of their relatively easy isolation and higher efficiency in a reduction of metal ions and NP formation. Here we report mycosynthesis of AgNPs based on Ganoderma lucidum fruit body extract with different pH values as the bioreducing and stabilising agent. Stable NPs colloids with distinct plasmonic resonance peaking at 408–418 nm are obtained by using photoreduction in a broad pH range (5 to 11). Synthesis efficiency drops only at very acidic conditions, pH = 2.5. The NP size and morphology are studied by dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy. An analysis of FTIR spectra of pure analyte and NP sample indicates that stabilisation of the AgNPs by the components of Ganoderma lucidum extract may take place via forming chemical bonds with the NP surface. These bio-friendly AgNPs are both optically and chemically active, as inferred from surface-enhanced Raman scattering of a standard dye analytes and charge transfer-induced quenching of the photoluminescence of both dye and inorganic NPs, and can be studied for various applications which require direct access to the AgNP surface.
银纳米颗粒(NP)的前景应用激发了对其廉价合成的深入研究,包括绿色路线。真菌提取物的使用与其他生物相比具有优势,因为它们相对容易分离,并且在减少金属离子和NP形成方面具有更高的效率。在这里,我们报道了以不同pH值的灵芝果体提取物为生物还原剂和稳定剂的AgNPs的真菌合成。通过在宽pH范围(5至11)内使用光还原,获得了在408–418 nm处具有明显等离子体共振峰值的稳定NP胶体。合成效率仅在pH=2.5的非常酸性的条件下下降。通过动态光散射和扫描电子显微镜研究了NP的尺寸和形态。对纯分析物和NP样品的FTIR光谱的分析表明,灵芝提取物成分对AgNP的稳定可能通过与NP表面形成化学键来实现。根据标准染料分析物的表面增强拉曼散射和染料和无机NP的电荷转移诱导的光致发光猝灭,这些生物友好型AgNP具有光学和化学活性,并且可以用于需要直接接触AgNP表面的各种应用。

Preparation of nanoporous SiO2/C derived from rice husk as anode material in SiO2/C||LiFePO4 full-cell through alkaline activation treatment 碱性活化法制备SiO2/C||LiFePO4全电池稻壳制备纳米多孔SiO2/C阳极材料

Silicon-based materials such as pure silicon (Si), silicon monoxide (SiO), silica (SiO2), are considered promising anode for future high power energy Li-ion batteries. Among them, SiO2 has garnered attention owing to its outstanding features such as high theoretical capacity (1961 mAh g−1), abundant reserve, and low-cost processing. However, the large expansion and shrinkage of the Si and SiO2 volume during lithiation/delithiation reaction are still the main barriers for practical application. In this study, SiO2 derived from rice husks and activated by KOH displayed a nanoporous structure with a porous matrix carbon that can absorb the volume expansion during lithiation process and facilitate the diffusion of Li+ ion along the pores to minimise the dendrite growth at the local area. Through activation treatment, the surface area of SiO2 increases up to 278.875 m2 g−1 with a pore volume of 0.191 cm3 g−1 and the average pore diameter is about 0.771 nm. The cycling results showed that rice husk ash mixed with KOH at a ratio of 1:0.5 offered the best capacity retention of SiO2/C anode material in half-cell. In full-cell configuration of SiO2/C||LiFePO4, the the negative electrode/positive electrode capacity ratio (N/P) ratio of 1.2 exhibited the most stable performance with the highest capacity retention.
硅基材料,如纯硅(Si)、一氧化硅(SiO)、二氧化硅(SiO2),被认为是未来高功率能量锂离子电池的有前途的阳极。其中,SiO2因其理论容量高(1961 mAh g−1)、储量丰富、加工成本低等突出特点而备受关注。然而,在锂化/脱锂反应过程中,Si和SiO2体积的大膨胀和大收缩仍然是实际应用的主要障碍。在本研究中,从稻壳中提取并经KOH活化的SiO2显示出具有多孔基质碳的纳米多孔结构,该结构可以吸收锂化过程中的体积膨胀,并促进Li+离子沿孔的扩散,以最大限度地减少局部区域的枝晶生长。通过活化处理,SiO2的表面积增加到278.875 m2 g−1,孔体积为0.191 cm3 g−1。平均孔径约为0.771 nm。循环试验结果表明,稻壳灰与KOH以1:0.5的比例混合,可使SiO2/C阳极材料在半电池中保持最佳的容量。在SiO2/C||LiFePO4的全电池配置中,1.2的负电极/正电极容量比(N/P)表现出最稳定的性能和最高的容量保持率。

Enhancing photocatalytic performance: a study of anionic (congo red, orange-g) and cationic (malachite green) dye degradation using WSe2 and WSe2/ZnIn2S4 nanocomposite 提高光催化性能:利用WSe2和WSe2/ZnIn2S4纳米复合材料降解阴离子(刚果红、橙g)和阳离子(孔雀石绿)染料的研究

In the work, we developed a novel visible-light-driven photocatalyst WSe2/ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) nanocomposite and performed a comparative dye degradation study on cationic (Malachite green, MG) and anionic (Congo red, CR and Orange-g, OG) dyes. WSe2/ZIS nanocomposite was synthesised by the benign chemical aqueous solution method, under low temperature and pressure. The crystal structure and surface morphology of WSe2 and WSe2/ZIS nanocomposite were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), respectively. The optical properties of sample were examined using the UV–vis spectrophotometer and the obtained value of band-gap of WSe2 and WSe2/ZIS was about 1.76 and 2.0 eV, respectively. The WSe2/ZIS nanocomposite displays superior photocatalytic activity compared to bare WSe2 due to optimised surface charge and optical appealing characteristics of WSe2 powder, on the incorporation of ZIS. Pseudo-first-order and second-order rate kinetics were also studied and the result revealed that second-order model fitted well and the overall adsorption process is dominated by the chemisorption process. Scavenger tests were conducted to determine the active species ( O2⋅− ) in photocatalysis mechanics, and the reusability of the nanocomposite was evaluated over 5 cycles. The photocatalytic study result demonstrated that WSe2/ZIS nanocomposite might be employed as an efficient, highly stable photocatalyst for the dye degradation application.
在这项工作中,我们开发了一种新的可见光驱动光催化剂WSe2/ZnIn2S4 (ZIS)纳米复合材料,并对阳离子(孔雀石绿,MG)和阴离子(刚果红,CR和橙g, OG)染料进行了染料降解的比较研究。在低温低压条件下,采用良性化学水溶液法制备了WSe2/ZIS纳米复合材料。采用x射线衍射(XRD)、拉曼光谱(Raman spectroscopy)和场发射扫描电镜(FESEM)研究了WSe2和WSe2/ZIS纳米复合材料的晶体结构和表面形貌。用紫外-可见分光光度计检测样品的光学性质,得到WSe2和WSe2/ZIS的带隙分别约为1.76和2.0 eV。在加入ZIS后,WSe2/ZIS纳米复合材料表现出比裸WSe2更好的光催化活性,这是由于优化了WSe2粉末的表面电荷和光学吸引特性。拟一阶和二阶速率动力学研究表明,二阶模型拟合良好,整体吸附过程以化学吸附过程为主。通过清道夫实验确定光催化活性物质(O2⋅−),并在5次循环中评价纳米复合材料的可重复使用性。光催化研究结果表明,WSe2/ZIS纳米复合材料可作为一种高效、高稳定性的光催化剂用于染料降解。

Preparation and characterization of PMMA/ZnO nanocomposites for antistatic and biomedical applications 抗静电和生物医学应用的PMMA/ZnO纳米复合材料的制备与表征

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)/Palm oil/ZnO nanocomposite films of concentrations 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, and 15 wt% were prepared by solution casting technique. Tween 80 was used as a surfactant. The prepared films were characterised by different techniques in addition to antimicrobial and cytotoxicity tests. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs of fractured surfaces of the films showed that palm oil (PO) and Tween 80 enhanced ZnO NPs dispersion. An excess ZnO loading led to polymer saturation with ZnO NPs which accumulate on PMMA surface. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements confirmed SEM results as the crystallinity increased by ZnO NPs loading and decreased by excess loading. In addition, the presence of PO and Tween 80 enhanced thermal stability of pure PMMA and the optimum concentration is 0.5 wt% ZnO NPs. Further, the permittivity (ε′), dielectric loss (ε′′), and electrical conductivity (σ) were investigated. It was found that PO addition increased the values of ε′, ε′′, and σ of PMMA. Upon ZnO loading, these values increased up to 10 wt% ZnO NPs then decreased upon reaching 15 wt% ZnO NPs. The conductivity values revealed that the prepared nanocomposites can perform as antistatic materials for lower ZnO content and electrostatic dissipation application at 10 wt% ZnO. The antimicrobial and cytotoxicity studies revealed that the prepared films are nontoxic and the antimicrobial properties of the films against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans were enhanced by PO and ZnO NPs addition.
采用溶液浇铸法制备了浓度分别为0、0.5、1、2、5、10、15 wt%的聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)/棕榈油/ZnO纳米复合薄膜。吐温80被用作表面活性剂。除了抗菌和细胞毒性试验外,还用不同的技术对所制备的膜进行了表征。薄膜断裂表面的扫描电镜(SEM)显示,棕榈油(PO)和Tween 80增强了ZnO NPs的分散。过量的ZnO负载导致聚合物饱和,ZnO NPs积聚在PMMA表面。x射线衍射(XRD)证实了SEM的结果,即ZnO NPs加载增加了结晶度,过量加载降低了结晶度。此外,PO和Tween 80的存在增强了纯PMMA的热稳定性,最佳浓度为0.5 wt% ZnO NPs。进一步研究了介电常数(ε′)、介电损耗(ε′)和电导率(σ)。结果表明,PO的加入提高了PMMA的ε′、ε′和σ值。在ZnO负载下,这些值增加到10 wt% ZnO NPs,然后在达到15 wt% ZnO NPs时下降。电导率值表明,制备的纳米复合材料具有较低氧化锌含量和在10%氧化锌条件下的静电耗散性能。抗菌和细胞毒性研究表明,制备的膜无毒,PO和ZnO NPs的加入增强了膜对金黄色葡萄球菌、粪肠球菌和白色念珠菌的抗菌性能。
