Within this framework, diffusion coefficients were calculated using time-dependent response data for three different volatile organic compounds (VOCs) obtained via Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) measurements. These values were determined using Fick’s early-stage diffusion model. The SPR-derived diffusion coefficients were higher than the QCM values, being approximately 3.3 times higher for dichloromethane and 2.8 times higher for chloroform. To capture the nonlinear and dynamic sensor response, Nonlinear Autoregressive Exogenous Artificial Neural Networks (NARX-ANN) and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) models were developed and validated using experimental datasets. Both approaches accurately reproduced the temporal response profiles and yielded diffusion coefficients in close agreement with those obtained from physics-based calculations. This study presents a comprehensive framework that combines diffusion-based physical analysis for VOC detection using pillar[5]arene with advanced machine learning techniques. The proposed approaches contribute to the understanding of VOC–sensor interactions and may serve as a useful framework for the design and optimization of chemical sensing systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":638,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry","volume":"106 7-8","pages":"481 - 498"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148903401","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}

Basic blue 3 (BB3) has considerable health hazards, including possible associations with cancer and genetic abnormalities, alongside established acute toxicity and irritation of the eyes and skin. Nanoporous carbon materials are extensively utilized for dye elimination owing to their extensive surface area and tunable porosity. The present study focuses on the fabrication of Kanak Champa wood nanoporous carbon (KCWNC) by a dual carbonization and KOH activation method intended for the adsorptive removal of BB3. FE-SEM, XRD, FTIR, zeta potential, and BET analyses were utilized to characterize the KCWNC. BET analysis indicates that KCWNC has a surface area of 512.6 m²g⁻¹ and a mean pore diameter of 3.5 nm. FTIR and Boehm titration analyses indicate the presence of –OH, –COOH, C = O, and C-O-C functional groups on the surface of KCWNC. These functional groups facilitate the removal of BB3 dye via electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and π–π interactions. The adsorption of BB3 on the surface of KCWNC occurs efficiently at an optimum pH of 8.0. KCWNC exhibited the highest adsorption capacity of 244.4 mgg<sup>− 1</sup> at 298 K. Adsorption equilibrium efficiently followed the Langmuir isotherm model (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.999), and the kinetics of adsorption adhered to the pseudo-second-order approach. The thermodynamic study confirmed the adsorption to be a spontaneous process and exothermic in nature. A ΔH° value of -45.23 kJmol<sup>− 1</sup>, in conjunction with PSO kinetics, suggests the weak chemisorption of BB3 on the KCWNC surface. The KCWNC obtained in this research was also regenerated, maintaining a retention capacity of 94.1% after four cycles. BB3 adsorption on the surface of KCWNC occurs mainly due to electrostatic interactions. The research developed a biodegradable, recyclable, and effective nanoporous carbon material for treating coloured dye pollutants present in water, addressing environmental concerns in accordance with SDG6.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":638,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry","volume":"106 7-8","pages":"499 - 512"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148903402","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}

In this study, a chemical route operating entirely at room-temperature (~ 25 °C) is proposed for converting residual carpentry wood chips (WC) into cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) <i>via</i> sequential alkalization, bleaching, and sulfuric acid hydrolysis. The process achieved a 56% yield of CNCs based on the initial mass of WC. A set of characterization techniques was employed to evaluate the structural and physicochemical properties of the obtained material. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the efficient removal of non-cellulosic components while preserving the cellulose I<sub>β</sub> crystalline structure. Furthermore, the crystallinity index was found to increase from 51% in the raw wood chips to 68% in the final material, indicating effective removal of amorphous components. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed the formation of a cohesive nanostructured film upon drying. Dynamic light scattering measurements indicated nanoscale particle dimensions (~ 5 nm hydrodynamic diameter), while zeta potential analysis (-14.8 mV) suggested moderate colloidal stability. Although direct nanoscale imaging techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and/or atomic force microscopy (AFM) were not performed, the combined structural and physicochemical analyses strongly suggest the formation of CNCs.
