Article Synopsis
  • A density functional theory (DFT)-based study examined the effectiveness of chlorobenzene in detecting toxic gases like hydrogen cyanide, arsine, and phosgene using a single-electron transistor (SET).
  • The research analyzed how these gas molecules interact with chlorobenzene, focusing on their charge density and molecular properties.
  • Findings revealed varying recovery times for gas detection, with chlorobenzene-based SET showing strong adsorption characteristics, especially for phosgene, indicating a promising option for gas sensing applications.

Urea is well-known to offer tremendous scope for sensing/diagnosing such as adulteration in dairy products or diseases in human body. This study was organized to describe and validate a new mediator-free, unsophisticated, and direct current voltage (IV)-based sensor for facile detection of urea using nanocomposites made of urease-immobilized graphene nanoplatelets and graphitized nanodiamonds. This nanocomposite displayed sensitive and direct signal in the form of current at 0 V without the need of any complex chemical reaction.
