Abstract

Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) have been successfully developed using dual detection: electrochemical and colorimetric systems. The µPADs have the potential to be used as Pb(II), Cd(II), and Cu(II) sensors to test the quality of water. The fabrication process uses hot embossing and screen-printing methods. The working electrode in the electrochemical zone was enhanced by the bismuth metal deposition process, while in the colorimetric zone, the gold nanoparticles modified with thioctic acid and dansylhydrazine (TA-Au-DNS) were used as a colorimetric sensor to detect Cu. The basic material of µPADs was characterized using a Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and a contact angle meter (CAM). In the electrochemical zone, the signals of square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) resulted in good detection of Pb(II) and Cd(II) (from 0 to 100 ppb) with a limit of detection of 1.588 and 1.42 ppb, respectively. In the colorimetric zone, the performance of TA-Au-DNS for detecting Cu metal was obtained from readings through the red-green-blue (RGB) sensor as a miniature of µPADs reader. The LOD, LOQ, and average Vx0 (linearity values) in the detection of Cu(II) (from 58 to 100 ppb) are 8.51 ppb, 28.36 ppb, and 0.41%, respectively.

Abstract

The use of robust solar energy-driven photocatalysis materials to address the global energy and environmental crisis has gained significant attention in recent years. However, the wide band gaps in many robust semiconductor photocatalysts hinder their absorption of visible light from the solar spectrum. To address this issue, the modification of the large band gap semiconductor with the lower band gap material using the Successive Ionic Layers Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) technique has emerged as an economical, accessible, and reproducible method for depositing nanoscale materials onto semiconductor substrates. This research aims to know how the concentration variation of cation and anion precursors in the SILAR technique affects the optical and photoelectrochemical properties of the resulting composite materials. Bi₂S₃ serves as a modifier for TiO₂ nanotube arrays (NTAs). The result shows that the cation-anion concentration ratio of 1:1.5 mM with five SILAR cycles gives the best photoelectrochemical performance, with a stable current density of 0.12 mA/cm², compared to pristine TiO₂ NTAs the current density of Bi₂S₃/TiO₂ NTAs is 15-fold. In addition, at each variation, the concentration ratio of cation and anion precursors decreases bandgap energy with each increase in the SILAR cycle.
