Rapid electrochemical detection of Escherichia coli using nickel oxidation reaction on a rotating disk electrode.

ABSTRACT: A standalone electrochemical method for detecting the bacterium Escherichia coli in water was developed using a nickel electrode and no biorecognition element. Electric current responses from different E. coli concentrations were recorded based on their interaction with a locally formed electrocatalyst. A rotating disk electrode was used to minimize the mass transport limitations at the interface. Results from experiments with the rotating disk electrode also paved the way for hypothesizing the detection mechanism. The operating conditions were established for sensing the electric current responses in the presence of E. coli. The least-squares linear regression model was fit to the data obtained from currents of some known E. coli concentrations. This probe had a detection limit in the order of 10⁴ CFU/ml. The response time to detect the presence/absence of E. coli was less than half a second, while the total assay time, including quantification of its concentration, was 10 min. The electric current response from a solution mixed with E. coli and S. aureus showed current similar to E. coli only solution indicating the specificity of the sensor to respond to signals from E. coli. This electrochemical microbial sensor's uniqueness lies in its ability to rapidly detect E. coli by forming the catalyst locally on demand without the attachment of biorecognition elements.

How to appropriately assess the oxygen reduction reaction activity of platinum group metal catalysts with rotating disk electrode.

Project description:The sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) has becoming the bottleneck of largescale implementation of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. However, when it comes to the ORR activity assessing of platinum group metals (PGMs) with rotating disk electrode, the corresponding potential conversion vs. reversible hydrogen electrode, test protocols, and activity calculation processes are still in chaos in many published literatures. In this work, two standard calculation processes for PGM ORR activities are demonstrated, followed by a specification for the usage of reference electrodes. Then a 4-fold discrepancy in ORR activities obtained via different test protocols is found for the same Pt/C, and an average adsorption model and the "coverage effects" are proposed to illustrate the hysteresis loop between negative and positive-going ORR polarization plots. Finally, four motions over appropriate assessment of PGM ORR activity are emphasized, hoping to bring a fair communication platform for researchers from different groups.

Analysis of mass transport in ionic liquids: a rotating disk electrode approach.

Project description:Ionic Liquids are a promising alternative to water electrolytes for the electrodeposition of metals. These solvents have a much larger electrochemical window than water that expands the potential of electrodeposition. However, mass transport in Ionic Liquids is slow. The slow mass transport dramatically affects the rate of reactions at the solid-liquid interface, hampering the exploitation of Ionic Liquids in high-throughput electrodeposition processes. In this paper, we clarify the origin of such poor mass transport in the diffusion-advection (convection) regime. To determine the extent and the dynamics of the convection boundary layers, we performed Rotating Disk Electrode (RDE) experiments on model reactions along with the finite element simulation. Both the experiments and the finite element modelling showed the occurrence of peaks in the RDE curves even at relatively high rotation rates (up to 2000 rpm). The peak in the RDE is the fingerprint of partial diffusion control that happens for the relative extent of the diffusion and convection boundary layers. In looking for a close match between the experiments and the simulations, we found that the ohmic drop plays a critical role and must be considered in the calculation to find the best match with the experimental data. In the end, we have shown that the combined approach consisting of RDE experiments and finite elements modelling providing a tool to unravel of the structure of the diffusion and convection boundary layers both in dynamic and stationary conditions.

Versatile DIY Route for Incorporation of a Wide Range of Electrode Materials into Rotating Ring Disk Electrodes.

Project description:Rotating ring disk electrodes (RRDEs) are a powerful and versatile tool for mechanistically investigating electrochemical reactions at electrode surfaces, particularly in the area of electroanalysis and catalysis. Despite their importance, only limited electrode materials (typically glassy carbon, platinum, and gold) and combinations thereof are available commercially. In this work, we present a method employing three-dimensional (3D) printing in conjunction with machined brass components to produce housing, which can accommodate any electrode material in, e.g., pressed powdered pellet, wafer, rod, foil, or vapor deposited onto a conductive substrate form. In this way, the range and usability of RRDEs is extended. This custom do-it-yourself (DIY) approach to fabricating RRDEs also enables RRDEs to be produced at a significant fraction of the cost of commercial RRDEs. To illustrate the versatility of our approach, coplanar boron-doped diamond (BDD) RRDEs are fabricated for the first time using the approach described. Experimental collection efficiencies for the redox couple FcTMA+/FcTMA2+ are found to be very close to those predicted theoretically. BDD electrodes serve as an ideal electrocatalyst support due to their low background currents, wide solvent potential window in aqueous solution, and chemical and electrochemical stability in acid and alkali solutions. The BDD RRDE configuration is employed to investigate the importance of surface-incorporated nondiamond carbon in BDD on hydrogen peroxide generation via the oxygen reduction reaction in acid solutions.

Electrochromic Displays via the Room-Temperature Electrochemical Oxidation of Nickel.

Project description:Electrochromism refers to the persistent and reversible change in color by applying an electric field. The phenomenon involves the insertion and extraction of electrons and ions within the active material. There is a keen interest in electrochromic (EC) materials, since they exhibit a wide range of potential applications. In recent years, transition-metal oxides have been widely investigated as EC materials due to their low power requirement, high coloration efficiency, and memory effect under an open-circuit condition. Nickel oxide (NiO), a p-type wide band gap semiconductor, exhibits attractive features such as a high color contrast ratio, good chemical stability, cost-effectiveness, and good compatibility with the cathodically coloring tungsten oxide. NiO thin films have been fabricated by various methods, but these are not cost-effective, scalable, or suitable for flexible applications. With the increasing demand for flexible and soft EC devices, it is essential to find routes to fabricate NiO thin films at lower temperatures. In this work, a NiO/Ni(OH)2-based thin EC layer on fluorine-doped tin oxide-coated glass is developed via an electroless nickel (EN) deposition route, followed by room-temperature electrochemical oxidation. The deposition time is optimized to control the film thickness. The EC performance is investigated in an aqueous alkaline electrolyte (1 M KOH) by means of cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and transmittance measurements. Both the as-deposited and annealed films, after electrochemical oxidation, exhibit excellent EC properties with an optical modulation of approximately 64% (at 550 nm) and good response times of approximately 3 s (coloration) and 14 s (bleaching). A 2 × 2 display obtained by patterning the EN deposition is also demonstrated as part of this work.

Nickel-vanadium monolayer double hydroxide for efficient electrochemical water oxidation.

Project description:Highly active and low-cost electrocatalysts for water oxidation are required due to the demands on sustainable solar fuels; however, developing highly efficient catalysts to meet industrial requirements remains a challenge. Herein, we report a monolayer of nickel-vanadium-layered double hydroxide that shows a current density of 27 mA cm(-2) (57 mA cm(-2) after ohmic-drop correction) at an overpotential of 350 mV for water oxidation. Such performance is comparable to those of the best-performing nickel-iron-layered double hydroxides for water oxidation in alkaline media. Mechanistic studies indicate that the nickel-vanadium-layered double hydroxides can provide high intrinsic catalytic activity, mainly due to enhanced conductivity, facile electron transfer and abundant active sites. This work may expand the scope of cost-effective electrocatalysts for water splitting.

An Electrochemical Aptasensor Using Coaxial Capillary with Magnetic Nanoparticle, Urease Catalysis and PCB Electrode for Rapid and Sensitive Detection of <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157:H7.

Project description:The continuous outbreaks of foodborne diseases have drawn public attentions to food safety. Early screening of foodborne pathogens is crucial to prevent and control of foodborne diseases. In this study, a novel electrochemical aptasensor was developed for rapid and sensitive detection of E. coli O157:H7 using the coaxial capillary with immune magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for specific separation of the target bacteria, the urease with urea for amplification of the impedance signals, and the PCB gold electrode for measurement of the impedance change. The streptavidin modified MNPs were conjugated with the biotinylated polyclonal antibodies (PAbs) to form the immune MNPs, and captured in the coaxial capillary with the line-up high gradient magnetic fields to separate the bacteria from the large volume of sample. Then, the gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were modified with the aptamers against E. coli and the urease, and injected into the capillary to react with the bacteria and form the MNP-PAb-bacteria-aptamer-GNP-urease complexes. Finally, the urease on the complexes was used to catalyze the hydrolysis of urea into ammonium ions and carbonate ions in the capillary, leading to the decrease in the impedance of the catalysate, which was measured by the gold plating PCB electrode. The impedance change of the catalysate and the concentration of the bacteria had a good linear relationship. This aptasensor was able to detect E. coli as low as 101 CFU/mL in 3 h, and the mean recovery of E. coli in the spiked pasteurized milk was ~99%. This proposed aptasensor has the potential for practical applications of foodborne pathogen detection due to its short detection time, high sensitivity and low cost.

Investigation of L-Tryptophan Electrochemical Oxidation with a Graphene-Modified Electrode.

Project description:A graphene sample (EGr) was prepared by electrochemical exfoliation of graphite rods in solution containing 0.05 M (NH4)2SO4 + 0.1 M H3BO3 + 0.05 M NaCl. The exfoliation was performed by applying a constant voltage (12 V) between the graphite rods, while the temperature was kept constant (18 °C) with a temperature-controlled cryostat. The structural investigation of the graphene sample, performed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), revealed that the sample consists of a mixture of few-layer (69%), multi-layer graphene (14%) and graphene oxide (17%). In addition, XPS analysis proved that the sample was triple-doped with heteroatoms such as nitrogen (1.7 at%), sulfur (2.5 at%), and boron (3 at%). The sample was deposited onto the surface of a clean, glassy carbon electrode (GC) and investigated for the non-enzymatic electrochemical detection of L-tryptophan (TRP). The electrocatalytic properties of the EGr/GC electrode led to a considerable decrease in the oxidation potential from +0.9 V (bare GC) to +0.72 V. In addition, the EGr/GC electrode has higher sensitivity (two times) and a lower detection limit (ten times) in comparison with the bare GC electrode.

Electrochemical alcohols oxidation mediated by N-hydroxyphthalimide on nickel foam surface.

Project description:Alcohol to aldehyde conversion is a critical reaction in the industry. Herein, a new electrochemical method is introduced that converts 1 mmol of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones in the presence of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI, 20 mol%) as a mediator; this conversion is achieved after 8.5 h at room temperature using a piece of Ni foam (1.0 cm2) and without adding an extra-base or a need for high temperature. Using this method, 10 mmol (1.08 g) of benzyl alcohol was also successfully oxidized to benzaldehyde (91%) without any by-products. This method was also used to oxidize other alcohols with high yield and selectivity. In the absence of a mediator, the surface of the nickel foam provided oxidation products at the lower yield. After the reaction was complete, nickel foam (anode) was characterized by a combination of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and spectroelectrochemistry, which pointed to the formation of nickel oxide on the surface of the electrode. On the other hand, using other electrodes such as Pt, Cu, Fe, and graphite resulted in a low yield for the alcohol to aldehyde conversion.

Stamping Nanoparticles onto the Electrode for Rapid Electrochemical Analysis in Microfluidics.

Project description:Electrochemical analysis is an efficient way to study various materials. However, nanoparticles are challenging due to the difficulty in fabricating a uniform electrode containing nanoparticles. We developed novel approaches to incorporate nanoparticles as a working electrode (WE) in a three-electrode microfluidic electrochemical cell. Specifically, conductive epoxy was used as a medium for direct application of nanoparticles onto the electrode surface. Three approaches in this work were illustrated, including sequence stamping, mix stamping, and droplet stamping. Shadow masking was used to form the conductive structure in the WE surface on a thin silicon nitride (SiN) membrane. Two types of nanomaterials, namely cerium oxide (CeO2) and graphite, were chosen as representative nanoparticles. The as-fabricated electrodes with attached particles were characterized using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). Electrochemical analysis was performed to verify the feasibility of these nanoparticles as electrodes. Nanomaterials can be quickly assessed for their electrochemical properties using these new electrode fabrication methods in a microfluidic cell, offering a passport for rapid nanomaterial electrochemical analysis in the future.

Nickel exposure reduces enterobactin production in Escherichia coli.

Project description:Escherichia coli is a well-studied bacterium that can be found in many niches, such as industrial wastewater, where the concentration of nickel can rise to low-millimolar levels. Recent studies show that nickel exposure can repress pyochelin or induce pyoverdine siderophore production in Pseudomonas aueroginosa. Understanding the molecular cross-talk between siderophore production, metal homeostasis, and metal toxicity in microorganisms is critical for designing bioremediation strategies for metal-contaminated sites. Here, we show that high-nickel exposure prolongs lag phase duration as a result of low-intracellular iron levels in E. coli. Although E. coli cells respond to low-intracellular iron during nickel stress by maintaining high expression of iron uptake systems such as fepA, the demand for iron is not met due to a lack of siderophores in the extracellular medium during nickel stress. Taken together, these results indicate that nickel inhibits iron accumulation in E. coli by reducing the presence of enterobactin in the extracellular medium.
