AbstractHeavy metal‐containing industrial effluent streams from electroplating and metalworking industries represent a major environmental issue. They contain metal cyanide complexes ([Ni(CN)4]2− and [Cu(CN)3]2−) referred to as weak acid dissociable cyanide (CN‐WAD), which require continuous in situ monitoring. In this scenario, a glassy carbon (GC) electrode superficially decorated with 9,10‐phenanthroquinone (FNQ) is manufactured and employed for the simultaneous electrochemical monitoring of cyanide WAD complexes. The interaction between GC and FNQ was characterized by Raman and electrochemical impedance spectroscopies, cyclic voltammetry, and chronocoulometry. The electrochemical evaluation was conducted by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and CV. The GC/FNQ electrochemical sensor simultaneously detected cyanide complexes with an average linear range of 9–93 μmol L−1, and a detection limit of 0.15±0.04 μmol L−1 and 1.2±0.6 μmol L−1 for [Ni(CN)4]2− and [Cu(CN)3]2−, respectively. The sensor demonstrated remarkable selectivity in the presence of multiple interfering species with a percentage variation range of 89.2–109.4 %. Moreover, a computational DFT study provided valuable insights into the electrode/electrolyte interface. Finally, the developed sensor was applied for the electrochemical detection of WAD cyanide in river water samples.

AbstractThere are plenty of evidence that consuming high levels of azo dyes, such as Tartrazine, Sunset Yellow, Allura Red, Ponceau 4R, Amaranth, Sudan, and Azorubine, is associated with serious health problems. Therefore, electrochemical sensors have been developed for their effective detection, also offering low cost, portability, and the fact that they do not require harmful solvents. They are customarily employed in several electrochemical techniques, including cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and square wave voltammetry. The most commonly employed materials in the manufacturing of electrochemical sensors are carbonaceous materials given their high stability, surface area, and conductivity. Employing these carbonaceous materials results in an enhanced sensitivity of electrochemical sensors when detecting azo dyes. To further improve the sensors, these materials are modified with metal oxides, polymers, polysaccharide, ionic liquids, and metal nanoparticles, allowing the detection of ultra‐sensitive traces of azo dyes. Therefore, this review provides an overview of the characteristics of modified carbonaceous materials and their applications for the detection of food azo dyes, along with a summary of the currently employed electroanalytical detection methods. Additionally, this review discusses the development of novel nanomaterials and their technological advances, while exploring their potential environmental and health impacts within the food industry.

This study reports the development of a new electrochemical sensor based on a carbon paste electrode (CPE) composed of biomass-based orange peel activated carbon (ACOP) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and this composite is used for the electrochemical detection of cadmium ions (Cd2+). The ACOP/MWCNT composite was characterized by FTIR, Raman, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The electrochemical evaluation of Cd2+ was performed using square wave and cyclic voltammetry. The ACOP/MWCNT–CPE electrochemical sensor exhibited a coefficient of determination r2 of 0.9907, a limit of detection of 0.91 ± 0.79 μmol L–1, and a limit of quantification of 3.00 ± 2.60 μmol L–1. In addition, the developed sensor can selectively detect Cd2+ in the presence of different interferents such as Zn2+, Pb2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Cu2+, and Fe2+ with a relative standard deviation (RSD) close to 100%, carried out in triplicate experiments. The ACOP/MWCNT–CPE presented high sensitivity, stability, and reproducibility and was successfully applied for the detection of Cd2+ in river water samples with recovery rate values ranging from 97.33 to 115.6%, demonstrating to be a very promising analytical alternative for the determination of cadmium ions in this matrix.

Nifedipine, a widely utilized medication, plays a crucial role in managing blood pressure in humans. Due to its global prevalence and extensive usage, close monitoring is necessary to address this widespread concern effectively. Therefore, the development of an electrochemical sensor based on a glassy carbon electrode modified with carbon nanofibers and gold nanoparticles in a Nafion® film was performed, resulting in an active electrode surface for oxidation of the nifedipine molecule. This was applied, together with a voltammetric methodology, for the analysis of nifedipine in biological and environmental samples, presenting a linear concentration range from 0.020 to 2.5 × 10−6 µmol L−1 with a limit of detection 2.8 nmol L−1. In addition, it presented a good recovery analysis in the complexity of the samples, a low deviation in the presence of interfering potentials, and good repeatability between measurements.

It is nowadays widely accepted that sweet taste perception is elicited by the activation of the heterodimeric complex T1R2-T1R3, customarily known as sweet taste receptor (STR). However, the interplay between STR and sweeteners has not yet been fully clarified. Here through a methodology coupling molecular dynamics and the independent gradient model (igm) approach we determine the main interacting signatures of the closed (active) conformation of the T1R2 Venus flytrap domain (VFD) toward aspartame. The igm methodology provides a rapid and reliable quantification of noncovalent interactions through a score (Δginter) based on the attenuation of the electronic density gradient when two molecular fragments approach each other. Herein, this approach is coupled to a 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation (MD-igm) to explore the ligand-cavity contacts on a per-residue basis as well as a series of key inter-residue interactions that stabilize the closed form of VFD. We also apply an atomic decomposition scheme of noncovalent interactions to quantify the contribution of the ligand segments to the noncovalent interplay. Finally, a series of structural modification on aspartame are conducted in order to obtain guidelines for the rational design of novel sweeteners. Given that innovative methodologies to reliably quantify the extent of ligand-protein coupling are strongly demanded, this approach combining a noncovalent analysis and MD simulations represents a valuable contribution, that can be easily applied to other relevant biomolecular systems.

Bimetallic oxides have significant attraction as supercapacitor electrode materials due to their highly reversible redox processes, which are commonly associated with their surface chemistry and morphological features. Here, we report the synthesis, characterization, and electrochemical evaluation of bimetallic oxides with different molar compositions of Co and V (Co0.6V0.4, Co0.64V0.36, Co0.68V0.32, and Co0.7V0.3 denoted as S1, S2, S3, and S4 samples, respectively). The materials were synthesized by a modified solvothermal method using glycerol as a stabilizing agent, characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, N2 adsorption isotherms, cyclic voltammetry, and galvanostatic charged/discharged in a three-electrode cell. The role of the CoV oxide compositions on the pseudocapacitive properties was studied through the analysis of the energy storage mechanism following the power law and Dunn’s methodology to obtain the b values. An important finding of this work is that CoV oxides exhibited electrochemical characteristics of a pseudocapacitive electrode material even though the charge storage occurs in bulk. This behavior is consistent with the pseudocapacitance generated by redox processes, showing b values of 0.67, 0.53, 0.75, and 0.84, with a capacitive current contribution of 74, 74, 63, and 70% analyzed at a scan rate of 1 mV s–1, for S4, S3, S2, and S1 samples, respectively. Co0.7V0.3 (S4) oxide presented the highest specific capacitance of 299 F g–1 at 0.5 A g–1 with a Coulombic efficiency of 93% tested at 4 A g–1. The better electrochemical performance of this sample was attributed to the synergistic effect of the Co and V atoms since a minimum amount of V in the structure may distort the crystal lattice and improve the electrolyte diffusion, in addition to the formation of several oxidation states due to reduction of V5+, including V3+ and V4+ as well as to the formation of the metastable V4O9.

The pollution generated by the metallurgical industry effluents represents a serious issue for human health and the environment where the presence of cyanide species is particularly dangerous even at low concentration.

Finally, in order to investigate the molecular interplay between the involved species at the electrode-solution interface, a computational study in the framework of DFT has been conducted, which suggests a parallel orientation of a formed Ni(II)-bis(2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinonate) complex and a graphitic domain of the glassy carbon surface.

PtPd bimetallic catalysts supported on hierarchical porous carbon (HPC) with different porous sizes were developed for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) toward fuel cell applications. The HPC pore size was controlled by using SiO2 nanoparticles as a template with different sizes, 287, 371, and 425 nm, to obtain three HPC materials denoted as HPC-1, HPC-2, and HPC-3, respectively. PtPd/HPC catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical performance was examined by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry. PtPd/HPC-2 turned out to be the most optimal catalyst with an electroactive surface area (ESA) of 40.2 m2 g–1 and a current density for ORR of −1285 A g–1 at 2 mV s–1 and 1600 rpm. In addition, we conducted a density functional theory computational study to examine the interactions between a PtPd cluster and a graphitic domain of HPC, as well as the interaction between the catalyst and the oxygen molecule. These results reveal the strong influence of the porous size (in HPC) and ESA values (in PtPd nanoparticles) in the mass transport process which rules the electrochemical performance.

Abstract In the last years, supercapacitors (SCs) have been proposed as a promising alternative to cover the power density deficiency presented in batteries. Electrical double-layer SCs, pseudocapacitors, and hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs) have shown very attractive features such as high-power density, long cycle life, and tunable specific capacitance. The advances of these energy storage devices made by transition metal oxides (TMOs) and their production in pseudocapacitors and HSCs depend on chemical composition, crystalline structure, morphology, theoretical capacitance, and oxidation states. In this way, this critical review considers several metal oxides (RuO2, MnO2, V2O5, and Co3O4) and their different configurations with diverse carbon-based materials. Energy storage mechanisms and fundamental principles to understand the promising effect of metal oxides in SCs devices are thoroughly described. Special attention as regards to the energy storage mechanisms relative to the specific capacitance values is presented in the reviewed articles. This review envisages the TMO as a key component to obtain high specific capacitance SCs.

Abstract This work reports the fabrication of a novel electrochemical sensor for the detection of the complex ion [Cu(CN)3](aq)2−, one of the main components of the effluents from cyanide alkaline copper plating baths. This sensor was prepared by using a surface modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode with 1,8-dihydroxyantroquinone (1,8-DHAQ). It was characterized by electrochemical impedance, Raman spectroscopy and UV–Visible spectroscopy. The electrochemical detection of [Cu(CN)3](aq)2−was performed by differential pulse voltammetry. The 1,8-DHAQ/GC electrochemical sensor exhibits good reproducibility and a linear range of 5.50 × 10−7–3.81 × 10−6 mol L−1, with a detection limit (LOD) of 1.20 × 10−6 mol L−1, quantification limit (LOQ) of 3.97 × 10−6 mol L−1, and robustness to interfering Cl−, NO3−, SO42− y CO32− ions. Finally, a DFT approach suggests an almost parallel orientation of the bis(1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone) over a graphene domain of the glassy carbon surface, as well as the noncovalent nature of the interactions involved.

High-surface-area carbon-based capacitors exhibit significant advantages relative to conventional graphite-based systems, such as high power density, low weight, and mechanical flexibility. In this work, novel porous carbon-based electrodes were obtained from commercial cotton fibers (CFs) impregnated with graphene oxide (GO) at different dipping times. A subsequent thermal treatment under inert atmosphere conditions enables the synthesis of electrodes based on reduced GO (RGO) supported on carbon fibers. Those synthetized with 15 min and 30 min of dipping time displayed high specific capacitance given their optimal micro-/ mesoporosity ratio. Particularly, the RGO/CCF15A supercapacitor reports a remarkable specific capacitance of 74.1 F g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 and a high cycling stability with a 97.7% capacitive retention, making this electrode a promising candidate for supercapacitor design. Finally, we conducted a density functional theory study to obtain deeper information about the driving forces leading to the GO/CF structures.

AbstractThis study is focused on electrical energy generation in a double-compartment microbial fuel cell. Carbon felt impregnated with multi-walled carbon nanotubes was used as an anode, which contained gold nanoparticles and Shewanella spp. grown under aerobic conditions was used as a biocatalyst. The electrodes, used before and after biofilm growth, were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The results revealed the formation of Shewanella spp. colonies on the electrode surface and electrochemical activity under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. During biofilm growth in Luria Bertani medium, a stabilized average power density of 281 mW m− 2 was recorded. Subsequently, the cell reached a maximum current density of 0.11 mA cm− 2 after 72 h of operation and a coulombic efficiency of 65% under anaerobic conditions.
