Herein, an electrochemical sensor for sensing the Al (III) ions by modification of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with Schiff’s base ligand as an electrocatalyst and activated charcoal as an electro-conductive material is being reported. The response is recorded via Square wave voltammetry (SWV) for the modified GCE, resulting in a characteristic peak at potential 0.4 V due to the interaction of the Al (III) ions with the electrocatalyst. The peak current intensity increases linearly in the concentration range from 0.1 – 50 µM (R² = 0.994), and the detection limit of 45 nM (S/N = 3) was calculated. DFT calculation reveals that the energy gap between the HOMO and LUMO decreases from 0.551 eV to 0.303 eV after the complexation of the ligand with the Al (III) ions indicating the stability enhancement after complex formation. Common interfering agents do not significantly change in the peak current intensity, demonstrating excellent selectivity. Spiking Al (III) ions in tap and river water checked practical applicability, which gave satisfactory recovery results.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":535,"journal":{"name":"Electrocatalysis","volume":"16 1","pages":"67 - 77"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142859579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on this, we propose a metal-free reduced graphene oxide (rGO) catalyst produced from graphite as a base material for electrode modification. Nevertheless, by using phenanthroline as a nitrogen precursor, we investigated different synthesis conditions to adjust the electrocatalytic characteristics of the material precisely, aiming for a four-electron mechanism with low onset potential. A comprehensive experimental design revealed that specific preparation parameters (75 mg of phenanthroline, 1079 °C, and 1.73 h) significantly influenced the catalyst’s performance: the optimized catalyst had an increase in current density and a positive shift in the half-wave potential compared to other materials that underwent not optimized synthetic conditions. Morphological and physicochemical characterizations, including SEM and XPS analyses, provided insights into the material’s structure and composition, correlating the observed catalytic performance with graphitic nitrogen and an optimized degree of deoxygenation. Crucially, our study demonstrated a method for achieving varied levels of nitrogen species with the same nitrogen precursor, revealing that, under optimized conditions, the same precursor can yield diverse outcomes. Importantly, the optimized catalyst demonstrated impressive performance, showing only a 0.1 V difference in onset potential compared to the commercial Pt/C catalyst and a limiting current density of 2.1 mA cm⁻². Thus, this study underscores the importance of systematic experimental design and optimization in developing high-performance, metal-free electrocatalysts for energy conversion applications.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":535,"journal":{"name":"Electrocatalysis","volume":"16 1","pages":"54 - 66"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142858599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Addressing these challenges, this study involved the surface modification of a carbon-based anode. To improve the adhesion of electroactive microorganisms (EAM) on the anode surface and increase the extracellular electron transfer rate, CNT@Ti₃C₂T_xMXene was applied to the surface of carbon cloth (CC) using drip coating. Initially, we conducted a comprehensive investigation on the optimal amount of modification required. To achieve this, we designed four distinct groups of modified electrodes. Through electrochemical analysis and phase characterization, it was determined that a modification dosage of 1.5 mg/cm² for CNT@Ti₃C₂T_xMXene/CC electrodes yielded the most optimal electrical conductivity and the highest capacitance. The Rs of CC is reduced from 1.48 to 0.55 Ω and the Rct from 2.62 to 2.09 Ω, and the capacitance is increased from 3.98 10⁻⁰⁷<i>F</i> to 9.11 10⁻⁰⁶<i>F</i>. Subsequently, the CNT@Ti₃C₂T_xMXene/CC with a modification of 1.5 mg/cm² was used as the anode of the microbial fuel cell. The modification of CNT@Ti₃C₂T_xMXene improved the power generation performance. The maximum output voltage of the MFC was increased from 546 to 709 mv, and the power density was increased from 44.9 to 101.8 mW/m². The underlying factor lies in the ability of CNT@Ti₃C₂T_xMXene/CC to significantly lower the internal resistance within the microbial fuel cell, thereby fostering the development of biofilm. Notably, our observations revealed that the biofilm formation was particularly facilitated on the anode surface of CNT@Ti₃C₂T_xMXene/CC. In essence, the CNT@Ti₃C₂T_xMXene-modified carbon cloth not only minimizes internal resistance but also enhances the electroactive surface area, exhibiting superior electrical conductivity. These attributes make it an advantageous material for biological applications.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":535,"journal":{"name":"Electrocatalysis","volume":"16 1","pages":"42 - 53"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142858596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
