We report a very sensitive stripping voltammetric procedure for determination of ultra-trace quantity of U(VI) in water samples. A very low detection limit was achieved owing to the application of a new construction of the voltammetric electrode cell with two built-in working electrodes that differed significantly in their surface area. The procedure was based on the double adsorptive accumulation of the U(VI)-cupferron complex onto two lead film working electrodes. Under optimal conditions the detection limit for accumulation time of 120 s for the big electrode and 120 s for the small electrode was about 3.1 × 10(-11) mol L(-1), whereas for accumulation time of 480 s for the big electrode and 240 s for the small electrode it was about 1.1 × 10(-11) mol L(-1). The proposed method was successfully validated using certified reference material seawater NASS-5.

Bimetallic metal-organic frameworks as electrode modifiers for enhanced electrochemical sensing of chloramphenicol.

Mikrochim Acta

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Chemical Materials and Devices of Ministry of Education, College of Optoelectronic Materials and Technology, Jianghan University, Wuhan, 430056, China.

An electrochemical sensor is presented for the detection of the chloramphenicol (CAP) based on a bimetallic MIL-101(Fe/Co) MOF electrocatalyst. The MIL-101(Fe/Co) was prepared by utilizing mixed-valence Fe (III) and Co (II) as metal nodes and terephthalic acid as ligands with a simple hydrothermal method and characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, and XPS. Electrochemical measurements such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) showed that bimetallic MIL-101(Fe/Co) had the faster electron transfer, larger electroactive area, and higher electrocatalytic activity compared with  their monometallic counterparts due to the strong synergistic effect between bimetals.

The transition metal single atoms (SAs)-based catalysts with M-N coordination environment have shown excellent performance in electrocatalytic reduction of CO, and they have received extensive attention in recent years. However, the presence of SAs makes it very difficult to efficiently improve the coordination environment. In this paper, a method of direct high-temperature pyrolysis carbonization of ZIF-8 adsorbed with Ni and Fe ions is reported for the synthesis of Ni SAs and FeN nanoparticles (NPs) supported by the N-doped carbon (NC) hollow nanododecahedras (HNDs) with nanotubes (NTs) on the surface (Ni SAs/FeN NPs@NC-HNDs-NTs).

A Redox-Active Copper Complex for Orthogonal Detection of Homocysteine Involving Fluorescence and Electrochemical Techniques.

Small

January 2025

Analytical & Environmental Science Division and Centralized Instrument Facility, CSIR-CSMCRI, G. B. Marg, Bhavnagar, 364002, India.

The present work reports the synthesis, characterization, and excited state photo-physical studies of two copper(II) compounds, 1 & 2, which show interference-free emission with homocysteine (Hcy). Cu(II) complexes offer an orthogonal detection strategy involving fluorescence and electrochemical methods, paving the way for improved point-of-care diagnostics and early cardiovascular diseases intervention. The reduction-induced emission enhancement (RIEE) of Cu complexes facilitates the fluorescence measurement of Hcy at physiological pH.
