Abstract

A new modification of screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) with magnetic Fe3O4-chitosan has been developed. Magnetic Fe3O4-chitosan was made from a mixture of Fe2+/Fe3+ (1:2) with 1% chitosan. Sodium tripolyphosphate was used as a crosslinking reagent for chitosan under alkaline conditions using NH3. SPCE modification with Fe3O4 can increase the sensitivity of Cr(VI) detection by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). This method resulted in a sensitivity of 21.9 ppm/μA in the 0.1 - 1 ppm Cr(VI) concentration range in a 0.005 M KCl-HCl electrolyte mixture. The detection limit (LoD) is 0.2 ppm with an average accuracy of 94%.

Abstract

Glucose is an essential monosaccharide that serves as the main source of energy in the human body. An imbalance in glucose levels in the body can lead to serious metabolic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus. Therefore, effective methods of analyzing and monitoring glucose levels are needed for early detection and more optimal disease management. In this study, a non-enzymatic glucose sensor based on Pencil Lead Electrode (PLE) modified with silver-gold (Ag-Au) bimetallic was developed through electrodeposition method using cyclic voltammetry. This modification aims to improve sensitivity and cost efficiency in glucose detection compared to enzymatic sensors, that are susceptible to denaturation and higher production costs. Electrodeposition is performed in a potential range of 1.6 V to -0.4 V to obtain an optimal bimetallic coating on the PLE surface. The Ag-Au/PLE electrode provided the best electrochemical response in detecting glucose, with oxidation and re-oxidation peaks at +0.01 V in 0.1 M KOH as a supporting electrolyte. The optimal condition was obtained in five electrodeposition cycles, with a correlation coefficient value of 0.9984 and a detection limit of 0.206 mM, indicating high sensitivity and accuracy. These results indicate that Ag-Au/PLE electrodes have great potential as reliable, sensitive and economical non-enzymatic glucose sensors.

Abstract

Can Gio, designated in 2000, is the first Biosphere Reserve of Vietnam. In recent years, local agriculture, tourism, households, nearby industrial zones, and maritime transport have released substances into rivers flowing through Can Gio Mangrove to the East Sea and transported into creatures. This study aims to investigate microplastics and heavy metals in the famous seafood of Can Gio. A Raman microscope was used to identify microplastics from the tissue of oysters, grease snails, and clams after enzymatic treatment with trypsin. Heavy metals were quantified with ICP-MS after acidic treatment. As a result, microplastics were found in almost all samples, even up to 10 in a random individual of bivalve. Fibers dominated, especially from 30 to 150 µm long. The metal with the highest content was zinc, followed by copper, especially in oysters. Non-essential metals were also present in the soft tissue in the order As > Pb > Cd. The accumulation of metals in Can Gio’s molluscs was generally lower than in other regions and still in the allowed range for consumption of Vietnamese Standard. Although there have not been any Vietnamese regulations on the permissible level of microplastics for consumption, regular seafood intake will increase the risk of chronic poisoning and unknown disorders caused by the accumulation of microplastics and heavy metals.

Abstract

The study investigates the use of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) polymer modified by sulfonated reduced graphene oxide (s-rGO) and cerium (Ce) as an alternative membrane to Nafion for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) applications. Pure ABS membranes and ABS membranes with s-rGO/Ce fillers were synthesized and characterized, with sulfonation at 60 °C using filler concentrations of 1%, 3%, and 5% v/v. The addition of fillers aimed to enhance ion exchange capacity (IEC), water absorption, and reduce methanol permeability. The membrane with 5% filler content showed optimal performance, with an IEC of 0.35 meq/g, a swelling degree of 1.5%, and controlled methanol permeability of 1.2670 × 10⁻⁷ cm²/s. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of sulfonate groups (S=O) at 1054 cm⁻¹, indicating successful sulfonation. SEM analysis revealed that the filler was well-dispersed and formed more defined pores without compromising the structural integrity of the ABS matrix. This study demonstrates the potential of s-rGO/Ce-modified ABS membranes as a viable alternative to Nafion membranes in DMFC applications.

Abstract

Acacia crassicarpa bark powder showed potential as an adsorbent due to its high cellulose content of approximately 50%. This research aimed to determine the optimum contact time, stirring speed, and adsorption kinetic models of Acacia crassicarpa bark powder for Cd(II) removal. Adsorbent characterization was conducted using a Surface Area and Pore Size Analyzer, FTIR, and SEM-EDX, while batch adsorption experiments were conducted to evaluate performance. The adsorbent exhibited a specific surface area of 0.460 m²/g and pore diameters ranging from 32.707 to 45.426 Å, indicating mesoporous characteristics. FTIR analysis identified functional groups such as O–H, C=O, and O–Cd. SEM-EDX analysis before adsorption revealed a rough surface with open, irregular pores and dominant elements including C, N, and O. After adsorption, the surface appeared smoother, with pores filled by Cd(II), as confirmed by Cd peaks in the EDX spectrum. Optimum conditions were obtained at a contact time of 70 minutes and a stirring speed of 120 rpm, resulting in an adsorption efficiency of 96.93% and a 1.3613 mg/g capacity. The adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.9985), indicating that the adsorption mechanism occurred via chemisorption.

Abstract

This study successfully synthesized nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) from banana peel waste via a hydrothermal method using urea as the nitrogen source. FTIR and optical characterization confirmed the presence of hydroxyl, carbonyl, and amine functional groups, along with distinct photophysical features, including an absorption peak at 304 nm, excitation at 392 nm, and blue fluorescence emission at 465 nm. Upon Fe(III) exposure, the N-CQDs exhibited selective fluorescence quenching and a measurable hue (H) value shift. A linear relationship was observed between hue and Fe(III) concentration in the 1-5 mM range (R2 = 0.9822). The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were estimated at 0.948 mM and 2.875 mM, respectively. These findings demonstrate the potential of banana peel-derived N-CQDs as a low-cost, environmentally friendly, and smartphone-compatible fluorescence probe for Fe(III) detection in aqueous environments

Abstract

Methylene blue dye is widely used in various industries, but improper disposal can severely harm aquatic ecosystems. Zinc oxide (ZnO), a well-known semiconductor, is frequently employed to degrade dye pollutants in aqueous media. This study synthesized ZnO nanoparticles via a precipitation method incorporating a green synthesis approach, utilizing Persea sp (Persea sp.) leaf extract as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic chemical reagents. Persea sp leaves contain diverse secondary metabolites, including saponins, alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, and phenolics, which act as capping agents during water-based synthesis. Characterization was conducted using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photocatalytic activity of the ZnO nanoparticles toward methylene blue degradation was evaluated under UV irradiation at time intervals of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 minutes. UV-DRS results indicated a maximum absorption wavelength of 364 nm with a band gap energy of 3.26 eV. XRD analysis confirmed a hexagonal wurtzite structure (JCPDS no. 36-1451) with an average crystallite size of 21.24 nm. SEM imaging revealed a nanospherical morphology with an average particle size of 79.28 nm. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles achieved 61.77% degradation efficiency for 5 ppm methylene blue. These findings demonstrate that green-synthesized ZnO nanoparticles from Persea sp. leaf have promising potential as sustainable photocatalysts for dye removal, contributing to the development of environmentally friendly wastewater treatment technologies

Abstract

Biomass waste such as Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB), a byproduct of palm oil production in Indonesia, represents a promising renewable energy resource. Pyrolysis, a thermochemical conversion process, transforms this waste into valuable products and energy sources. This study uses the Kissinger kinetic model to investigate how a stepwise heating rate analysis, under both catalytic and non-catalytic conditions, influences the pyrolysis behaviour of EFB. Pyrolysis experiments were conducted in a batch reactor at 300 °C, 350 °C, and 400 °C, with and without adding a catalyst (aluminium white) at a 1:2 catalyst-to-feedstock ratio. Heating rates were calculated at 10 °C intervals, and the activation energy (Ea) was determined using the Kissinger kinetic model. The results indicate that, with the presence of a catalyst, the heating rate increases with temperature, while without a catalyst, the rate tends to decrease. Moreover, the catalyst substantially reduces the activation energy, from 12.046 kJ/mol (non-catalytic) to 10.957 kJ/mol (catalytic), indicating its effectiveness in enhancing thermal decomposition and facilitating pyrolysis with lower energy requirements.

Abstract

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are a group of free radicals that play a major role in causing oxidative stress, which can trigger the development of degenerative diseases such as cancer. Sengkubak (Pycnarrhena cauliflora (Miers) Diels) contains antioxidant that may help protect the body from free radical exposure. This study aims to identify the metabolite compounds present in Sengkubak leaves through GC-MS analysis and to evaluate their anticancer potential of its major metabolites through in silico molecular docking analysis. The leaf simplicia was extracted using the maceration method with ethanol as the solvent. The analyses performed included GC-MS analysis and molecular docking analysis of the major compounds identified by GC-MS to evaluate their anticancer potential. GC-MS analysis identified a total of 84 compounds, with the five major ones being Phytol, Farnesol isomer a, L-Gala-L-ido-octose, E-11-HexadecenoicAacid ethyl ester, and Pentadecanoic acid ethyl ester. Furthermore, molecular docking analysis of the five major compounds demonstrated potential anticancer activity against breast cancer targets.

Abstract

Graphene’s exceptional electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties have enabled breakthroughs in electronics, energy storage, and biomedicine, yet large-scale, low-cost, and sustainable production methods remain elusive. Here, we report a facile, scalable route to synthesize Biochar-Like Graphene Nanosheets (BLG) from candlenut shell biomass using activated carbon as a dual-function reducing agent and combustion inhibitor in a modified muffle furnace pyrolysis system. Structural analysis by X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirms the formation of defect-rich, low-oxygen sp² carbon networks, while scanning electron microscopy reveals wrinkled layered morphologies that promote electrolyte accessibility. Electrical measurements demonstrate a voltage-dependent conductivity, reaching 368.67 μS·cm⁻² at 1.5 V, alongside stable power density (6.72 W·kg⁻¹) and high energy density (403.2 Wh·kg⁻¹), indicative of excellent charge transport and storage capabilities. Remarkably, BLG exhibits potent antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhimurium with a 10.76 ± 0.23 mm inhibition zone and positive MIC and MBC responses, attributed to synergistic membrane disruption, reactive oxygen species generation, and electron transfer effects. This biomass-to-graphene strategy offers a sustainable, multifunctional nanomaterial platform for next-generation energy, environmental, and biomedical technologies
