High-performance opto-chemical sensing with phenolsulfonphthalein-encapsulated mesoporous hierarchical zincite nanocomposite sol
Zincite nanorods (ZNRs) are synthesized at a low temperature (80 °C) using the sol–gel method. Phenolsulfonphthalein (PR) dye is encapsulated in the ZNRs for dynamic pH sensing range (pH 12). The phenol red encapsulated zincite nanostructure (PR-ZNS) composite exhibited a hierarchically leaf petal-shaped structure, root mean square (RMS) roughness of approximately 1.9 nm, a crystallite size of around 18 nm, a pore size of ∼4.2 nm, and thermal stability up to 400 °C. The PR-ZNS revealed a pKa (negative log of the acid dissociation constant) value of 9.8 at 559 nm. The synthesized PR-ZNS is highly responsive, allowing for rapid naked-eye detection of pH changes of approximately 0.03 s in pH 12 through visible color shifts. Its fast color response time, stability, and no leaching traces make it ideal for quick and efficient pH sensing in various applications such as environmental monitoring, agriculture, and food science.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
