Abstract

The fabrication of transparent conducting electrodes (TCEs) is dominated by indium tin oxide (ITO). Some efforts are being made to find alternative materials as a substitute for ITO. Cu nanowire (CuNWs) is an equivalent candidate as a replacement for ITO but has a weakness that is easily oxidized. In this contribution, we report an increase in the performance of CuNWs, which can reduce the effect of oxidation. In this study, we provide a coating of CuNWs using PVP, PVA, and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The morphology, formation structure, and conductivity of CuNWs have been investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and IV meter. The average length and diameter of the CuNWs were 5.5 μm and 120 nm, respectively. The transparent conducting has a stable conductivity after coating with PVP, PVA and AgNPs. The application of transparent conducting electrodes are sensors, electronic devices, solar cells, and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).

Abstract

Toxicity test of zinc on contaminated soil by petroleum products around the Pertamina Rewulu-Cilacap pipeline, Bantul, Yogyakarta by using mung bean (Vigna radiata) and water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) have been studied. This study aims to investigate the physico-chemical properties, adsorption, and desorption of soil samples, and the effect of Zn toxicity on the growth of mung bean and water spinach. The physico-chemical properties were evaluated including moisture content, ash content, pH, conductivity, total organic carbon, cation exchange capacity, and heavy metal content. In addition, total petroleum hydrocarbon was analyzed by using GC-MS, and samples were characterized by using FTIR and XRD. The adsorption and desorption capacities of Zn were determined by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) measurement. Toxicity test was conducted on the growth of mung bean and water spinach. This study showed that soil sample point III had the highest Zn content at 632.26 mg kg−1. Adsorption isotherms of zinc metal followed the Langmuir isotherm model and maximum adsorption occurred at 100 mg kg−1. Optimum desorption takes place at the concentration of citrate acid 0.7 mol L−1 and at pH 3. Toxicity test results revealed that zinc metal at high concentrations was found to be toxic to seedling growth.

Abstract

Developing a spectroscopic approach to assess the medicinal substance thymol was one of the research's objectives. Using an oxidative coupling reaction between thymol solution and N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride solution (N,N-DMPPDADH) in alkaline media with potassium periodate as an oxidizing agent, the current technology forms a blue-colored soluble product. The wavelength at which a colored product exhibits maximum absorption is 600 nm. According to Beer's law, the concentration range covered by the approach under review is 1.25–20.00 μg/mL of thymol. The specific molar absorbance value of 10725.71 L/mol cm indicates the method's sensitivity. The Sandell significance value was 0.014 μg/cm2, which represents sensitivity per unit length. The precision of the method is demonstrated to be commendable, and the low relative standard deviation value of 0.16% supports this. This method's accuracy in identifying thymol at such low quantities is demonstrated by its confirmed detection limit of 0.0124 μg/mL. The developed technique has been useful in screening thymol in pharmaceutical products, with mouthwash being the focus of particular attention. Thymol content in real-world samples was accurately determined using the approach, as evidenced by the reported 101.13% recovery rate of thymol in the examined samples.

Abstract

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) were prepared by precise combinations of mol fractions of chemical compounds, resulting in a lowered melting point due to hydrogen bonding. This research aimed to elucidate the physicochemical attributes of DES and its effectiveness in mitigating free fatty acid (FFA) levels in crude palm oil (CPO). Zinc(II) chloride (ZnCl2) served as the hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) while diethylene glycol (DEG) as the hydrogen bond donor (HBD). Characterization included freezing point, density, viscosity, conductivity, and pH determination. At a ZnCl2 mol fraction of 0.30, the resulting DES exhibited homogeneity with transparent liquid properties, featuring a freezing point below −10 °C, density of 1.42 g/mL, viscosity of 1933.40 cP, conductivity of 66.13 µS/cm, and pH 3.42. FTIR spectra confirmed hydrogen bond interactions between HBA and HBD. Applied to CPO at a 1:1 volumetric ratio (DES:CPO), with 2 h of stirring time at 50 °C, FFA content decreased from 4.11 to 0.86%. This research highlights DES as an environmentally sustainable purification agent, significantly reducing FFA levels in unrefined palm oil.

Abstract

This comprehensive research has explored the potential of enhancing dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) by harnessing environmentally friendly natural dyes, such as chlorophyll pigments from pandanus (664.1 nm) and papaya leaves (664.0 nm), as well as betacyanin pigments from sappan-mangosteen (536.2 nm). Electrochemical analyses elucidated the energy band gaps, revealing a hierarchy with the smallest band gap observed for papaya leaves (1.387 eV), followed closely by sappan-mangosteen (1.389 eV) and pandan leaves (1.396 eV). This research effectively addressed the persistent issue of electrolyte leakage in DSSC development by introducing a polymer electrolyte derived from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) through electrospinning and phase inversion techniques. SEM characterization results and thermogravimetric analysis underscored the superior characteristics and high thermal stability of the PVDF nanofiber polymer for DSSC applications. The study's pivotal findings underscore the remarkable DSSC performance achieved with chlorophyll pigment from papaya leaves, reaching 1.31% efficiency without a polymer electrolyte. Moreover, the sappan-mangosteen dye emerged as a promising contender with the highest efficiency values when applied with polymer electrolyte, recording rates of 1.17% for PVDF NF and 0.95% for PVDF, which are notably comparable to the efficiency of liquid electrolyte at 1.26%.

Abstract

This work prepared new eco-friendly biocomposite hydrogels by graft co-polymerization from starch (ST), sodium alginate (SA), acrylamide (AM), and acrylic acid (AC). The performance of starch graft-poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (ST-g-P(AM-co-AC)) and sodium alginate graft-poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (SA-g-P(AM-co-AC)) absorbent hydrogels was evaluated for efficient dye removal from aqueous solution due to their unequal network structure and a restricted number of the hydrophilic groups. Adsorption characteristics of the as-prepared hydrogels were tested for methylene blue (MB) as an adsorbate. The removal percentage increases when increased the adsorbent doses of both hydrogels due to the increase of active sites of the hydrogel. The isotherm models and thermodynamic studies of MB dye on hydrogels have been assessed at several conditions like adsorbent dosage, solution temperature, and equilibrium time. The equilibrium results followed the Freundlich model. The thermodynamic parameter indicated that MB dye adsorption on hydrogels was endothermic and spontaneous. On the basis of the obtained result, the hydrogels are environmental and expansive adsorbent that might be a reliable alternative to elimination dyes from aqueous solution.

Abstract

The new reagent N-methyl-N-((((4-chlorophenyl)diazenyl)thio)carbonothioyl)aniline (L) was synthesized via the reaction of sodium N-methyl-N-phenyldithiocarbamate with 4-chlorobenzenediazonium salt. The reagent was identified with many techniques, such as CHNS elemental analysis, UV-vis spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The Fe(II) ion was utilized to create a metal complex by reacting 2 mol of reagent with 1 mol of iron(II) chloride. Two approaches that were utilized for M:L ratio determination are mole ratio and Job methods. All of these refer to the 1:2 ratio for the complex. The solid complex was prepared and identified with the previous techniques, and additional electrical molar conductivity, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. A tetrahedral structure for the prepared complex was suggested based on spectroscopic measurements and elemental analysis results. Cloud point extraction was created for the preconcentration and separation of Fe(II) in drug samples by forming a rich phase using Triton X-114 at 80 °C temperature and pH 5 measurements utilizing flame atomic absorption spectroscopy and UV-vis spectrophotometer at λmax 635 nm. The calibration curve of Fe(II) was linear in the extent of 0.2–1.0 μg/mL with r2 of 0.996. The detection limit and quantification are 0.0504 and 0.1530 μg/mL.

Abstract

To pre-concentrate trace amounts of lead before determining it by UV-vis spectrophotometer, a new method for micelle-mediated phase separation has been created. The process depends on the extraction of lead from iodine media using Triton X-114 in the cloud point extraction method without the need for any chelating agents, where the optimal conditions for the method were achieved, which temperature 50 °C, pH 4, and 30 mmol L−1 concentration of KI, 0.3 mL of 2% (v/v) Triton X-114, and time of 10 min in the water bath. Linearity was followed between 1 and 16 µg/mL of lead concentration. The method's lead detection limit is 0.1 µg/mL and %RSD 3.633. Additionally, the interference impact of certain cations was evaluated. The proposed technique was successfully applied to determine the lead ion in the wastewater in ten different stations in the center and district of Al-Hur in Karbala City. The lead ion of the wastewater of the stations under study was also determined directly using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) technology comparing its results with the new method and performing the statistical analysis of both methods. The p-value was less than 0.05, showing significant differences between both methods.

Abstract

The synthesis of mesoporous material by utilizing palm oil boiler ash (POBA) waste as the silica source and methyl ester sulfonate (MES) surfactant as the template for a high-porosity was investigated for free fatty acids (FFA) adsorption. The research was initiated with silica extraction from POBA by sodium hydroxide addition through the sol-gel precipitation method. Silica modification was carried out with MES surfactant and 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) as the co-structure-directing agent (CSDA) in different calcination temperatures. Mesoporous silica-POBA (MS-POBA) free template had a surface area, pore diameter, and pore volume (41.033 m2/g, 4.180 nm, and 0.250 cm3/g) lower than MS-POBA with the template (71.0147 m2/g, 7.923 nm, and 0.524 cm3/g). The ability of MS-POBA to adsorb FFA reached its optimum conditions with an adsorption time of 20 min and an adsorbent dosage of 0.24 g. The FFA removal by MS-POBA with the template was found to have higher adsorption ability, which was 35.54%, compared to the MS-POBA free template of 26.68%. The high porosity of MS-POBA with a template makes the FFA adsorption capacity of this material higher than MS-POBA free template.

Abstract

Pentazocine is an opioid analgesic used to treat moderate to severe pains. The real analysis for the pharmaceutical products containing pentazocine is basically to ensure the correct dose and patient safety. This study developed and validated an improved high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method in the selective and accurate quantification of pentazocine. Two-dimensional (2D) HPLC technique is employed to enhance the resolution and selectivity compared to conventional HPLC methods. The 2D-HPLC instrumentation consists of two C18 columns coupling with a switching valve to capture fractions from the first column, which is analyzed in the second column. The mobile phase was optimized to 45% acetonitrile and 55% water with 0.1% phosphoric acid. The method was validated in the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines and shows excellent linearity (R2=0.998), limit of detection of 1.58 μg/L, accuracy of 97.70–102.50%, and precision by relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.02–4.20%. Selectivity was verified in resolving pentazocine from paracetamol, caffeine, ibuprofen, and oxycodone in laboratory mixtures. The utility of the 2D-HPLC method was demonstrated by accurate quantification of pentazocine in pharmaceutical injections and tablets unaffected in excipients. This research provides a rich validating technique to enhance the quality control testing of pharmaceuticals containing pentazocine.
