In this work, poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate)-functionalized three-dimensional graphene (PFSG) composites were realized via a facile and green strategy. The nanocomposite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical method. An electroanalytical sensor of dopamine (DA) with high sensitivity and selectivity was fabricated based on PFSG modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Under the optimum conditions, the negatively charged PFSG composites exhibit strong electrostatic attraction for DA and electrostatic repulsion to the negatively charged ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) molecules. Such electrostatic interaction hindered the enrichment of AA and UA on the surface of PSFG/GCE, which make a higher selectivity for the DA even in the presence of 120-fold AA and UA. Owing to the enhanced electron transfer rate and the stronger surface attraction, the current signal of DA on PFSG/GCE was about 160 times enhanced compared with the bare electrode. There was a good linear relationship between the reduction peak current of DA and concentration across the range of 0.002-2.0 μmol L and 2.0-10.0 μmol L with the limit of 0.8 nmol L. Further, the PFSG/GCE was applied to the detection of DA in human serum samples. This biosensor is simple, sensitive, selective and highly stable, which provided a new design strategy and a valuable tool to detect DA in complex samples.

Ofloxacin, a commonly prescribed antibiotic, raises serious environmental concerns due to its persistence in aquatic systems. This study offers new insights into the environmental behavior of ofloxacin and its interactions with carbon-based adsorbents with the aim of enhancing our understanding of its removal mechanisms via adsorption processes. Using a comprehensive computational approach, we analyzed the speciation, pK values, and solubility of ofloxacin across various pH conditions, accounting for all four microspecies, including the often-overlooked neutral form.

A one-step hydrothermal method was applied to prepare carbon dots (CDs) with superior fluorescence properties using chitosan as a carbon source. The as-prepared carbon dots were then grafted onto a sodium alginate-gelatin hydrogel film to form a fluorescent hydrogel film (FHGF), emitting at 450 nm under excitation of 350 nm light. In comparison to the CDs, the fluorescence intensity of this film was maintained over 90.

The synergistic optical, electronic, and chemical properties of metal nanoparticles present in close proximity have potential applications in energy, medicine, and sustainability. Fundamental studies and application development based on spontaneous self-assembly of one-dimensional (1D) chains of metal nanoparticles without external organization agencies have been pursued for over four decades. The spontaneous formation of 1D chains in a solution of stabilized spherical nanoparticles may be driven by the emergence of local anisotropy due to dipolar interaction, representing a trapped non-equilibrium state.

High salinity in wastewater often hampers the performance of traditional adsorbents by disrupting electrostatic interactions and ion exchange processes, limiting their efficiency. This study addresses these challenges by investigating the salt-promoted adsorption of Cu ions onto amino-functionalized chloromethylated polystyrene (EDA@CMPS) millispheres. The adsorbent was synthesized by grafting ethylenediamine (EDA) onto CMPS, which significantly improved Cu adsorption, achieving nearly three times the capacity in saline solutions (1.

We derive a new expression for the strength of a hydrogen bond (VHB) in terms of the elongation of the covalent bond of the donor fragment participating in the hydrogen bond (ΔrHB) and the intermolecular coordinates R (separation between the heavy atoms) and θ (deviation of the hydrogen bond from linearity). The expression includes components describing the covalent D-H bond of the hydrogen bond donor via a Morse potential, the Pauli repulsion, and electrostatic interactions between the constituent fragments using a linear expansion of their dipole moment and a quadratic expansion of their polarizability tensor. We fitted the parameters of the model using ab initio electronic structure results for six hydrogen bonded dimers, namely, NH3-NH3, H2O-H2O, HF-HF, H2O-NH3, HF-H2O, and HF-NH3, and validated its performance for extended parts of their potential energy surfaces, resulting in a mean absolute error ranging from 0.
