Despite the remarkable promise of this nanomaterial, no study has yet comparatively characterised a wide range of different grades of carbon black for their utility in electrochemical sensors. Here, we explore several commonly-studied carbon black grades (N220, N234, N326, N330, N339, N375, N550, N660 and Lamp Black-101), alongside relatively newer grades (Printex®-200, Printex® G, Printex® XE-2B, and Printex® Zeta) for their application in electrochemical sensors. The effects of coating glassy carbon electrodes with carbon black on electrode performance were studied by cyclic voltammetry using three redox probes: ferri-/ferrocyanide (anionic probe molecules), ferrocenemethanol (neutral) and hexaammineruthenium (cationic). Raman Spectroscopy characterisation of the different grades associated a lower degree of graphitisation with superior electrode modifiers. Generally, modification increased the anodic peak current for ferri-/ferrocyanide probes; and lowered anodic potential for ferri-/ferrocyanide and hexaammineruthenium probes. Increases in peak current and potential observed at ferrocenemethanol are consistent with the increased tendency for this probe to adsorb to the surface of modified electrodes. N330 and Printex® XE-2B displayed the best electrocatalytic properties in terms of enhanced peak currents and lowered anodic overpotentials for the redox probes. CB grades were used to modify screen-printed carbon electrodes and the obtained sensors examined for anodic detection of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) cofactor by cyclic voltammetry. Printex® XE-2B significantly improved the detection of NADH and was further used for chronoamperometric detection of NADH at low overpotentials. Grades N220, N375, N550 and P-G showed their suitability as enzyme scaffolds for sensor fabrication, as determined by their preservation of the activity of a NAD-dependent aldehyde dehydrogenase.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52629,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Trends","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142417660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These properties include fluorescence, biocompatibility, low toxicity, small size, ease of modification, low production costs when scaled up, and versatile conjugation with other nanoparticles. In addition, the development of theranostic nanomedicine, bio-imaging of cells and bacteria, and multifunctional diagnostic platforms have all shown promise. Optical imaging, cancer therapy, drug delivery systems, gene delivery, antimicrobial activity, bioimaging and biosensors, photothermal and photodynamic therapy, pharmaceutical formulations, and more are all parts of CQD research that this review succinctly summarises. The literature primarily describes two approaches for synthesizing CQDs: the top-down approach, which involves disassembling a larger carbon structure into nanoscale particles, and the bottom-up approach, which involves creating CQDs from smaller carbon units (small organic molecules). The literature has a large number of review articles about the synthesis and uses of CQDs. Nevertheless, there isn't a comprehensive paper like this that goes over the entire process of creating and using CQDs made of tiny organic compounds. Based on the available literature, we have compiled the research progress on CQDs in this review, including its synthesis from small organic molecules (bottom-up approach), applications in the fields of bioimaging, drug/gene delivery systems, photocatalytic reactions, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and photothermal (PTT) therapy, as well as methods of thermal decomposition and microwave irradiation and ultrasonic treatment. Lastly, the difficulties and potential course of CQDs are explored. Our conversation also broadens to cover CQDs function in nanomedicine, the field that many believe will shape biomedicine in the years to come. The results of this study will help the biomedical research community realise the potential of CQDs to solve many present-day technological issues.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52629,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Trends","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142417658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve this problem by replacing the fossil-based plastic materials with ecofriendly biopolymers in this current study we will be described a novel method for producing Crystalline Nano Cellulose (CNC) from the waste sugarcane leaf sheaths (SLSF) fibers as a green reinforcing agent. The waste-to-wealth approach aims to elevate agricultural residues, particularly SLSF, by transforming them into high-quality CNCs for use in a variety of sectors. SLSF was initially washed with detergent to remove impurities, followed by alkali treatment and bleaching operation before CNC manufacture using acid hydrolysis (60% H₂SO₄). The resulting materials were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Differential thermogravimetry (DTG), and Differential thermal analysis (DTA). FTIR indicates the newly produced CNCs is very much rich with active sites like –OH, -NH, -COOH, -C-O-C-, etc., while SEM revealed the raw fiber surface was rough, whereas the surface of CNCs became smooth even after the removal of lignin, fatty, and waxy compounds. Overall, acid hydrolysis was shown to increase the crystallinity of bleached SLSF while reducing cellulose dimensions to the nanoscale. After analysis it was revealed that most CNC particle size was around 100 nm. The outstanding properties of CNCs, including as high strength, biodegradability, and low environmental impact, make them ideal candidates for reinforcing composites, improving medicine delivery systems, and aiding new electronics.
