Polyaza functionalized graphene oxide nanomaterial based sensor for Escherichia coli detection in water matrices.

ABSTRACT: Water quality is widely discussed owing to its significance in public health due to the inability to access clean water. Waterborne diseases account for the presence of pathogens like Escherichia coli (E. coli) in drinking water in the environmental community. Owing to the rapid increase of such bacterial microorganisms, a cost-effective sensor setup has been developed. Herein, we demonstrate the amine-functionalized graphene oxide (fGO) based 2D nanomaterial used to graft E. coli on its surface. The comparative analysis of the deposition of nanosheets on the glass substrate and PDMS was executed. The impedance variations of GO-based nanosensor at various concentrations of E. coli were performed and their potential difference was recorded. It was observed that the impedance changes inversely with the bacterial concentrations and was fed to the Arduino microcontroller. The experimental setup was standardized for the range of 0.01 Hz to 100 kHz. The obtained analog data was programmed with a microcontroller and the bacterial concentration in colony-forming units was displayed. The real-time analysis showsthe low-level detection of E. coli in aquatic environments. Experiments were conducted using the developed nanosensor to test the efficiency in complex water matrices and whose behavior changes with various physical, chemical, and environmental factors.

Simulating graphene oxide nanomaterial phototransformation and transport in surface water.

Project description:The production of graphene-family nanomaterials (GFNs) has increased appreciably in recent years. Graphene oxide (GO) has been found to be the most toxic nanomaterial among GFNs and, to our knowledge, no studies have been conducted to model its fate and transport in the environment. Lab studies show that GO undergoes phototransformation in surface waters under sunlight radiation resulting in formation of photoreduced GO (rGO). In this study, the recently updated Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP8) is used to simulate time-dependent environmental exposure concentrations of GO and its major phototransformation product, rGO, for Brier Creek, GA, USA at two flow scenarios under a constant loading of GO to the river for a period of 20 years. Analysis shows that the degree of phototransformation is closely associated with river flow condition: up to of 40% of GO undergoes phototransformation at low flow condition, whereas only 2.5% of GO phototransformation occurs at mean flow condition. River flow and heteroaggregation exhibit a 'competing' effect in determining the formation of rGO heteroagglomerates. Mass fraction analysis indicates that the vast majority of rGO heteroagglomerates settle to the sediment layers due to the settling of suspended solids. Simulation of natural recovery after removal of the GO source suggests that free GO and rGO are the immediate contaminants of concern in the studied surface water system, while rGO heteroaggregated with suspended solids can have a long-term ecological impact on both the water column and sediments.

Laser Reduced Graphene Oxide Electrode for Pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> Detection.

Project description:Graphene-based materials are of interest in electrochemical biosensing due to their unique properties, such as high surface areas, unique electrochemical properties, and biocompatibility. However, the scalable production of graphene electrodes remains a challenge; it is typically slow, expensive, and inefficient. Herein, we reported a simple, fast, and maskless method for large-scale, low-cost reduced graphene oxide electrode fabrication; using direct writing (laser scribing and inkjet printing) coupled with a stamp-transferring method. In this process, graphene oxide is simultaneously reduced and patterned with a laser, before being press-stamped onto polyester sheets. The transferred electrodes were characterized by SEM, XPS, Raman, and electrochemical methods. The biosensing utility of the electrodes was demonstrated by developing an electrochemical test for Escherichia coli. These biosensors exhibited a wide dynamic range (917-2.1 × 107 CFU/mL) of low limits of detection (283 CFU/mL) using just 5 μL of sample. The test was also verified in spiked artificial urine, and the sensor was integrated into a portable wireless system driven and measured by a smartphone. This work demonstrates the potential to use these biosensors for real-world, point-of-care applications. Hypothetically, the devices are suitable for the detection of other pathogenic bacteria.

Improved Biocompatibility of Amino-functionalized Graphene Oxide in Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:Graphene oxide (GO) holds high promise for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in nanomedicine but reportedly displays immunotoxicity, underlining the need for developing functionalized GO with improved biocompatibility. Here, we study the adverse effects of GO and amino-functionalized GO (GONH2) during Caenorhabditis elegans development and ageing upon acute or chronic exposure. Chronic GO treatment throughout the C. elegans development causes decreased fecundity and a reduction of animal size, while acute treatment does not lead to any measurable physiological decline. However, RNA-Seq data reveal that acute GO exposure induces innate immune gene expression. The p38 MAP kinase, PMK-1, which is a well-established master regulator of innate immunity, protects C. elegans from chronic GO toxicity, as pmk-1 mutants show reduced tissue-functionality and facultative vivipary. In a direct comparison, GONH2 exposure does not cause detrimental effects in the wild type or in pmk-1 mutants, and the innate immune response is considerably less pronounced. Our work establishes the enhanced biocompatibility of amino-functionalized GO in a whole-organism, emphasizing its potential as biomedical nanomaterial.

An Electrochemical Sensor Based on Gold and Bismuth Bimetallic Nanoparticles Decorated L-Cysteine Functionalized Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites for Sensitive Detection of Iron Ions in Water Samples.

Project description:In this work, gold and bismuth bimetallic nanoparticles decorated L-cysteine functionalized graphene oxide nanocomposites (Au-BiNPs/SH-GO) were prepared and applied to selective detection of Fe(III) in lake and seawater samples by modifying onto glassy carbon electrodes. Bimetallic nanoparticles have various excellent properties and better catalytic properties because of the unique synergistic effect between metals. The modified electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Under optimized conditions, current peak intensity increased linearly with increasing Fe(III) concentration over the range of 0.2-50 μM and a detection limit of 0.07 μM (S/N = 3). The Au-BiNPs/SH-GO/GCE was used for the determination of Fe(III) in lake and seawater samples with recoveries ranged from 90 to 103%. Those satisfactory results revealed the potential application of the Au-BiNPs/SH-GO electrochemical sensor for heavy metals detection in environmental monitoring.

Fabrication of magnetic water-soluble hyperbranched polyol functionalized graphene oxide for high-efficiency water remediation.

Project description:Magnetic water-soluble hyperbranched polyol functionalized graphene oxide nanocomposite (MWHPO-GO) was successfully prepared and applied to water remediation in this paper. MWHPO-GO was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), magnetization curve, zeta potential, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) analyses. MWHPO-GO exhibited excellent adsorption performance for the removal of synthetic dyes (methylene blue (MB) and methyl violet (MV)) and heavy metal (Pb(II)). Moreover, MWHPO-GO could be simply recovered from water with magnetic separation. The pseudo-second order equation and the Langmuir model exhibited good correlation with the adsorption kinetic and isotherm data, respectively, for these three pollutants. The thermodynamic results (?G?<?0, ?H?<?0, ?S?<?0) implied that the adsorption process of MB, MV and Pb(II) was feasible, exothermic and spontaneous in nature. A possible adsorption mechanism has been proposed where ?-? stacking interactions, H-bonding interaction and electrostatic attraction dominated the adsorption of MB/MV and chelation and electrostatic attraction dominated the adsorption of Pb(II). In addition, the excellent reproducibility endowed MWHPO-GO with the potential for application in water remediation.

Sulfophenyl-Functionalized Reduced Graphene Oxide Networks on Electrospun 3D Scaffold for Ultrasensitive NO? Gas Sensor.

Project description:Ultrasensitive room temperature real-time NO? sensors are highly desirable due to potential threats on environmental security and personal respiratory. Traditional NO? gas sensors with highly operated temperatures (200-600 °C) and limited reversibility are mainly constructed from semiconducting oxide-deposited ceramic tubes or inter-finger probes. Herein, we report the functionalized graphene network film sensors assembled on an electrospun three-dimensional (3D) nanonetwork skeleton for ultrasensitive NO? sensing. The functional 3D scaffold was prepared by electrospinning interconnected polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers onto a nylon window screen to provide a 3D nanonetwork skeleton. Then, the sulfophenyl-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (SFRGO) was assembled on the electrospun 3D nanonetwork skeleton to form SFRGO network films. The assembled functionalized graphene network film sensors exhibit excellent NO? sensing performance (10 ppb to 20 ppm) at room temperature, reliable reversibility, good selectivity, and better sensing cycle stability. These improvements can be ascribed to the functionalization of graphene with electron-withdrawing sulfophenyl groups, the high surface-to-volume ratio, and the effective sensing channels from SFRGO wrapping onto the interconnected 3D scaffold. The SFRGO network-sensing film has the advantages of simple preparation, low cost, good processability, and ultrasensitive NO? sensing, all advantages that can be utilized for potential integration into smart windows and wearable electronic devices for real-time household gas sensors.

Hierarchical Laser-Patterned Silver/Graphene Oxide Hybrid SERS Sensor for Explosive Detection.

Project description:We demonstrate an ultrafast laser-ablated hierarchically patterned silver nanoparticle/graphene oxide (AgNP/GO) hybrid surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate for highly sensitive and reproducible detection of an explosive marker 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT). A hierarchical laser-patterned silver sheet (Ag-S) is achieved by ultrafast laser ablation in air with pulse energies of 25, 50, and 100 μJ. Multiple laser pulses at a wavelength of 800 nm and a pulse repetition rate of 50 fs at 1 kHz are directly focused on Ag-S to produce and deposit AgNPs onto Ag-S. The surface morphology of ablated Ag-S was evaluated using atomic force microscopy, optical profilometry, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). A rapid increase in the ablation rate with increasing laser energy was observed. Selected area Raman mapping is performed to understand the intensity and size distribution of AgNPs on Ag-S. Further, GO was spin-coated onto the AgNPs produced by ultrafast ablation on Ag-S. The hierarchical laser-patterned AgNP/GO hybrid structure was characterized using FESEM, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Further, hierarchical laser-patterned AgNP/GO hybrid structures have been utilized as SERS-active substrates for the selective detection of 2,4-DNT, an explosive marker. The developed SERS-active sensor shows good stability and high sensitivity up to picomolar (pM) concentration range with a Raman intensity enhancement of ∼1010 for 2,4-DNT. The realized enhancement of SERS intensity is due to the cumulative effect of GO coated on Ag-S as a proactive layer and AgNPs produced by ultrafast ablation.

Bio-functionalized graphene-graphene oxide nanocomposite based electrochemical immunosensing.

Project description:We report a novel in-situ electrochemical synthesis approach for the formation of functionalized graphene-graphene oxide (fG-GO) nanocomposite on screen-printed electrodes (SPE). Electrochemically controlled nanocomposite film formation was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy. Further insight into the nanocomposite has been accomplished by the Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy. Configured as a highly responsive screen-printed immunosensor, the fG-GO nanocomposite on SPE exhibits electrical and chemical synergies of the nano-hybrid functional construct by combining good electronic properties of functionalized graphene (fG) and the facile chemical functionality of graphene oxide (GO) for compatible bio-interface development using specific anti-diuron antibody. The enhanced electrical properties of nanocomposite biofilm demonstrated a significant increase in electrochemical signal response in a competitive inhibition immunoassay format for diuron detection, promising its potential applicability for ultra-sensitive detection of range of target analytes.

Graphene Oxide-Based Nanostructured DNA Sensor.

Project description:Quick detection of DNA sequence is vital for many fields, especially, early-stage diagnosis. Here, we develop a graphene oxide-based fluorescence quenching sensor to quickly and accurately detect small amounts of a single strand of DNA. In this paper, fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles (FMNPs) modified with target DNA sequence (DNA-t) were bound onto the modified graphene oxide acting as the fluorescence quenching element. FMNPs are made of iron oxide (Fe3O4) core and fluorescent silica (SiO2) shell. The average particle size of FMNPs was 74 ± 6 nm and the average thickness of the silica shell, estimated from TEM results, was 30 ± 4 nm. The photoluminescence and magnetic properties of FMNPs have been investigated. Target oligonucleotide (DNA-t) was conjugated onto FMNPs through glutaraldehyde crosslinking. Meanwhile, graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were produced by a modified Hummers method. A complementary oligonucleotide (DNA-c) was designed to interact with GO. In the presence of GO-modified with DNA-c, the fluorescence intensity of FMNPs modified with DNA-t was quenched through a FRET quenching mechanism. Our study indicates that FMNPs can not only act as a FRET donor, but also enhance the sensor accuracy by magnetically separating the sensing system from free DNA and non-hybridized GO. Results indicate that this sensing system is ideal to detect small amounts of DNA-t with limitation detection at 0.12 µM.
