Abstract

Synthesis of carbon dots from soybeans with urea doped (N-CDs) has been successfully conducted using the bottom-up approach via the hydrothermal method. The N-CDs showed a dark brown solution, indicating the carbon dots formed. This study analyzed the effect of optical properties before and after Fe (II) ions addition on the sensitivity of N-CDs. N-CDs characterizations were analyzed using UV-Vis Spectrophotometer and Photoluminescence Spectroscopy (PL). The results showed that the absorbance spectrum range is from 200 to 600 nm, with its absorbance peak at 290 nm. The band gap energy obtained is 3.32 eV, which indicates that N-CDs are semiconductors. The N-CDs solution resulted in good fluorescence when observed under ultraviolet light (395 nm) and emitted a bright green color. N-CDs' sensitivity when sensing Fe (II) ions with a minimum Limit of Detection (LOD) is as low as 5.7 nM. Thus, N-CDs can be used as biosensors with an easy and environmentally friendly method.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of Fe3O4 addition on cellulose nanofiber aerogels' density and porosity characteristics. The cellulose nanofiber aerogels were synthesized with varying concentrations of Fe3O4: 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1%. The characterization of the cellulose nanofiber aerogels included physical tests to determine density and porosity and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis for functional group analysis. The results reveal a progressive increase in density from the lowest to the highest Fe3O4 concentrations: 0.115 g/cm3, 0.135 g/cm3, 0.162 g/cm3, 0.163 g/cm3, and 0.241 g/cm3 for Fe3O4 concentrations of 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1%, respectively. Similarly, the porosity of the cellulose nanofiber aerogels exhibited a trend of decreasing values from the lowest to the highest Fe3O4 concentrations: 90.808%, 89.499%, 88.064%, 87.764%, and 82.844% for Fe3O4 concentrations of 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1%, respectively. Furthermore, FTIR analysis indicated that the structural integrity of the cellulose aerogels remained unchanged even after the incorporation of Fe3O4. While no new functional groups emerged, a discernible shift in wave numbers suggests the formation of bonds between the polymer network and Fe3O4. In conclusion, adding Fe3O4 to cellulose nanofiber aerogels led to notable alterations in density and porosity, while FTIR analysis confirmed the establishment of bonds between the polymer network and Fe3O4 without causing significant structural changes.
