Graphitic carbon nitride-based electrochemical sensors: A comprehensive review of their synthesis, characterization, and applications.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) has garnered much attention as a promising 2D material in the realm of electrochemical sensors. It contains a polymeric matrix that can serve as an economical and non-toxic electrode material for the detection of a diverse range of analytes. However, its performance is impeded by a relatively limited active surface area and inherent instability.

Designing a TiO-MoO-BMIMBr nanocomposite by a solvohydrothermal method using an ionic liquid aqueous mixture: an ultra high sensitive acetaminophen sensor.

This study shows a simplistic, efficient procedure to synthesize TiO-MoO-BMIMBr nanocomposites. Powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy have all been used to completely analyse the materials. The detection of acetaminophen (AC) has been examined at a modified glassy carbon electrode with TiO-MoO-BMIMBr nanocomposites.

Structure-engineering of core-shell ZnCoO@NiO composites for high-performance asymmetric supercapacitors.

The implementation of a structure-designed strategy to construct hierarchical architectures of multicomponent metal oxide-based electrode materials for energy storage devices is in the limelight. Herein, we report NiO nanoflakes impregnated on ZnCoO nanorod arrays as ZnCoO@NiO core-shell structures on a flexible stainless-steel mesh substrate, fabricated by a simple, cost-effective and environmentally friendly reflux condensation method. The core-shell structure of ZnCoO@NiO is used as an electrode material in a supercapacitor as it provides a high specific surface area (134.

Synthesis of Ni ion doped ZnO-MWCNTs nanocomposites using an sol-gel method: an ultra sensitive non-enzymatic uric acid sensing electrode material.

Nickel (Ni) ion doped zinc oxide-multi-wall carbon nanotubes (NZC) with different composition ratios of MWCNTs (from 0.01 to 0.1 wt%) are synthesized through an sol-gel method.

Structural refinement and electrochemical properties of one dimensional (ZnO NRs)(CNs) functional hybrids for serotonin sensing studies.

Herein, the efficient serotonin (5-HT) sensing studies have been conducted using the (ZnO NRs)(CNs) nanocomposites (NCs) having appropriate structural and electrochemical properties. Initially, the different compositions of ZnO nanorods (NRs), with varying content of carbon nanostructures (CNs=MWCNTs and RGO), are prepared using simple in-situ wet chemical method and thereafter these NCs have been characterized for physico-chemical properties in correlation to the 5-HT sensing activity. XRD Rietveld refinement studies reveal the hexagonal Wurtzite ZnO NRs oriented in (101) direction with space group 'P6mc' and both orientation as well as phase of ZnO NRs are also retained in the NCs due to the small content of CNs.

Swollen liquid crystalline mesophase assisted synthesis of GO-PANI nanocomposite as a fluorescent probe for purines.

This article focuses on the use of graphene oxide-polyaniline (GO-PANI) nanocomposite as fluorescent probe for sensing of adenine (A) and guanine (G). Swollen liquid crystalline mesophase were used for the synthesis of graphene oxide-polyaniline nanocomposite. GO-PANI nanocomposite showed enhanced fluorescent at 441 nm (ƛ  = 361 nm) on interaction of purines viz A and G solutions in dimethyl sulfoxide, GO exhibited quenching at 540 nm (ƛ  = 261 nm).

Fluorescent and chromogenic receptor bearing amine and hydroxyl functionality for iron (III) detection in aqueous solution.

The noncyclic 2,2'-[ethane-1,2-diylbis (iminomethanediyl)]diphenol (4) fluorescent receptor bearing two amine and hydroxyl groups have been designed and investigated for their binding properties towards various cations. The fluorescent spectral measurements revealed that receptor 4 is a selective fluorescent sensor for Fe(3+) ions but not for metal ions such as Cr(3+), Mn(2+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), Zn(2+), Cd(2+), Hg(2+), Pb(2+) and Bi(3+). The binding ability was confirmed with spectroscopic methods and density functional theory calculation (DFT).
