ZnO/Ag NANOPARTICLE-DECORATED SINGLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES (SWCNTs) AND THEIR PROPERTIES
摘要： Raw single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were oxidized by using sulfuric acid and nitric acid at 3:1 ratio to produce oxygen functional groups attached to SWCNTs surfaces. Then, the oxidized SWCNTs are coated with zinc oxide and silver nanoparticles by chemical precipitation route to synthesize ZnO/Ag-SWCNTs nanocomposite material. The nanocomposite sample was analyzed via zeta potential analyzer, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer, ˉeld emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray di?raction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy to investigate colloidal stability, optical, morphological, and structural properties. The SWCNT properties were found to be changed after the addition of ZnO/Ag nanoparticles. Hence, the new ZnO/Ag-SWCNTs nanocomposite is a good candidate for photocatalyst applications and biological applications.

Carbon and graphene quantum dots: a review on syntheses, characterization, biological and sensing applications for neurotransmitter determination
摘要： Neuro-transmitters have been considered to be essential biochemical molecules, which monitor physiological and behavioral function in the peripheral and central nervous systems. Thus, it is of high pharmaceutical and biological significance to analyze neuro-transmitters in the biological samples. So far, researchers have devised a lot of techniques for assaying these samples. It has been found that electro-chemical sensors possess features of robustness, selectivity, and sensitivity as well as real-time measurement. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and carbon QDs (CQDs) are considered some of the most promising carbon-based nanomaterials at the forefront of this research area. This is due to their characteristics including lower toxicity, higher solubility in various solvents, great electronic features, inertness, high specific surface areas, plenty of edge sites for functionalization, and strong chemical versatility, in addition to their ability to be modified via absorbent surface chemicals and the addition of modifiers or nano-materials. Hence in the present review, the synthesis methods of GQDs and CQDs has been summarized and their characterization methods also been analyzed. The applications of carbon-based QDs (GQDs and CQDs) in biological and sensing areas, such as biological imaging, drug/gene delivery, antibacterial and antioxidant activity, photoluminescence sensors, electrochemiluminescence sensors and electrochemical sensors, have also been discussed. This study then covers sensing features of key neurotransmitters, including dopamine, tyrosine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin and acetylcholine. Hence, issues and challenges of the GQDs and CQDs were analyzed for their further development.
