MIL-88B(Fe)-NH: an amine-functionalized metal-organic framework for application in a sensitive electrochemical sensor for Cd, Pb, and Cu ion detection.

We propose here an electrochemical platform for multi-heavy metal ion detection in water based on MIL-88B(Fe)-NH, an amine-functioned metal-organic framework (MOF) for modifying the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Herein, MIL-88B(Fe)-NH with abundant functionalized amine groups can play the role of capture sites for the enrichment of metal ions before electrochemical oxidation sensing. MIL-88B(Fe)-NH was synthesized under optimized conditions through a solvothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transition electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques.

Electrosynthesis of electrochemically reduced graphene oxide/polyaniline nanowire/silver nanoflower nanocomposite for development of a highly sensitive electrochemical DNA sensor.

A novel nanostructured electrode material based on electrochemically reduced graphene oxide/polyaniline nanowires/silver nanoflowers (ERGO/PANi NWs/AgNFs) was fabricated site-specifically onto a Pt microelectrode (0.80 mm area) using a three-step electrochemical procedure: electrosynthesis of ERGO, electropolymerization of PANi NWs, and electrodeposition of AgNFs. Synergistic and complementary properties of ERGO, PANi NWs and AgNFs, including high electrochemical activity, large surface area, and high biocompatibility, were obtained.

Graphene Oxide/Polyvinyl Alcohol/FeO Nanocomposite: An Efficient Adsorbent for Co(II) Ion Removal.

In this work, an effective nanocomposite-based adsorbent directed to adsorb cobalt (Co) ion was successfully synthesized from graphene oxide (GO), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and magnetite (FeO) nanoparticles via a coprecipitation technique. The synthesized GO/PVA/FeO nanocomposite was applied for Co ion removal with the optimized working conditions including 100 min of contact time, 0.01 g of adsorbent dosage, pH of 5.
