Calcium ions electrochemical detection by Cu-Fe LDH/cysteine-based nanocomposite for water softening applications
Water softening is a treatment process required to manage calcium and magnesium cations in water streams. Moreover, detection of such cations in water samples using simple portable techniques is required for monitoring and inspection of water quality. Nanocomposites can provide solutions for such multiple challenges while showing high performance and cost-effectiveness. In this work, the Cu-Fe layered double hydroxides (LDH)/cysteine-based electrodes were synthesized and are used as active materials for the electrochemical detection of calcium ions. The electrode materials were characterized using XRD, FTIR, and SEM. The synthesized electrode showed a limit of detection and a limit of quantification of 0.21 µM and 0.73 µM, respectively. The concentration range of detection was 5–30 µM. The intermolecular interactions of Ca ions with cysteine-free LDH and cysteine-LDH were investigated by Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations. Monte Carlo simulations revealed that the (001) surface is favored for Ca(II) adsorption within the LDH structure with an energy of adsorption equals to 372.46 kcal/mol. This work paves the road towards developing cost-effective disposable electrode based on portable electrochemical detection of Ca ions for on-site water softening applications.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research is to disseminate knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological phenomena and processes in structures that have at least one lengthscale ranging from molecular to approximately 100 nm (or submicron in some situations), and exhibit improved and novel properties that are a direct result of their small size.
Nanoparticle research is a key component of nanoscience, nanoengineering and nanotechnology.
The focus of the Journal is on the specific concepts, properties, phenomena, and processes related to particles, tubes, layers, macromolecules, clusters and other finite structures of the nanoscale size range. Synthesis, assembly, transport, reactivity, and stability of such structures are considered. Development of in-situ and ex-situ instrumentation for characterization of nanoparticles and their interfaces should be based on new principles for probing properties and phenomena not well understood at the nanometer scale. Modeling and simulation may include atom-based quantum mechanics; molecular dynamics; single-particle, multi-body and continuum based models; fractals; other methods suitable for modeling particle synthesis, assembling and interaction processes. Realization and application of systems, structures and devices with novel functions obtained via precursor nanoparticles is emphasized. Approaches may include gas-, liquid-, solid-, and vacuum-based processes, size reduction, chemical- and bio-self assembly. Contributions include utilization of nanoparticle systems for enhancing a phenomenon or process and particle assembling into hierarchical structures, as well as formulation and the administration of drugs. Synergistic approaches originating from different disciplines and technologies, and interaction between the research providers and users in this field, are encouraged.
