AgNPs were biosynthesized by using an aqueous plant extract of <i>Camellia sinensis</i> (black tea) in which the metabolites worked as reducing and stabilizing agents. The AgNPs and CB nanoparticles were incorporated within a crosslinked chitosan (Ch) film over the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The nanomaterials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet–visible molecular absorption spectrophotometry (UV–Vis), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The sensor modified with both nanomaterials (AgNPs-CB-Ch/GCE) showed a significatively enhanced analytical signal for the ciprofloxacin irreversible oxidation peak. Using square-wave voltammetry (SWV) under the optimized working conditions and the proposed AgNPs-CB-Ch/GCE sensor, the analytical curve displayed two linear concentration ranges of 3.1 to 24.8 µmol L<sup>−1</sup> and of 36.9 to 130.3 µmol L<sup>−1</sup>, with a limit of detection of 0.48 µmol L<sup>−1</sup>. The proposed electrochemical sensor presented good precision as shown from repeatability tests, as well as it was successfully applied in the quantification of ciprofloxacin in the synthetic urine sample, with recovery results close to 100% for both linear concentration ranges. The presented AgNPs synthetic method and CIP electrochemical detection are found to be simple and efficient compared to the conventional methods commonly reported.</p>","PeriodicalId":665,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142207586","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}

This declaration propelled the drug hydroxychloroquine into the global spotlight, as it was identified as a potential early treatment for the disease. Consequently, there was a surge in its consumption worldwide, particularly in Brazil. This increased usage has raised concerns about the potential contamination of natural water sources. In response to this concern, the present study proposes an electroanalytical method for detecting hydroxychloroquine in pharmaceutical and drinking water samples. The method aims to study the effects of modifying the sensor with carbon black Super P for HCQ detection, as well as improving the reproducibility and repeatability of the SPCB/GCE. The detection method and sensor modification have been thoroughly optimized for hydroxychloroquine detection. The optimal analysis conditions were established with a concentration of 5.0 mg mL<sup>−1</sup> of SPCB, a pH of 7.00, and a preconcentration time of 2 min.

According to the US Department of Energy (DOE), the fast charge goal is an average of 20 mi min<sup>−1</sup> (miles added per minute) or more. However, current state-of-art battery technologies are still far away from the requirements. Ni-rich layered oxide materials are promising cathode materials for the long run due to their high practically achievable capacity of 200 mAh g<sup>−1</sup> at an average voltage of 3.8 V vs. Li<sup>+</sup> /Li. Under fast charging, Ni-rich cathodes undergo anisotropic volume change followed by microcracks formation. As the Ni content increases, the particle crack formation becomes more severe under fast charging. This review article presents a mechanistic insight into the degradation of Ni-rich cathode materials during fast charging, bulk and surface structural evolution during delithiation-lithiation, lithium-ion diffusion kinetics, an overview of the mitigation strategy, and the practical reality of Ni-rich layered oxide cathode materials for fast charging applications.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":665,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141946679","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}
