(Springer, 2024) İnce, Merve Nur; Serbest, Hakan; Bakırdere, Sezgin
In this study, a rapid, sensitive and accurate analytical method was optimized for the determination of trace levels of cadmium (Cd) by fame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS) after antimony oxide nanoparticles (AO NPs)-based dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE). The AO-NPs were synthesized with a specifc microwave tem perature program, and they exhibited high purity and good surface morphology, making them appropriate sorbent material for the preconcentration/separation of a heavy metal. All experimental parameters afecting the extraction efciency were optimized univariately. Under the optimum operational conditions (35 mL sample volume, 0.75 mL of pH 8.0 bufer, 15 mg of sorbent, 5 s vortex and 100 µL of 1.0 M of HNO3), the limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) values were determined as 0.27 and 0.89 µg L−1, respectively. Thanks to the developed method, a 164.8-fold improvement in the sensitivity of the conventional FAAS system was achieved. Reusability tests showed that the AO-NPs can be employed 5 times. The feasibility of the method was confrmed by recovery tests with mul berry leaf tea matrices, and good recovery results between 77.6 and 115.8% were obtained using the matrix matching calibration method.

The endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) have high-risk implications for public health and the environment due to their potential to interfere with endocrine system functions. This study is based on an evaluation of the applying the UV-assisted Fenton process for the removal and degradation of 17β-estradiol and estrone in aqueous medium. The simple and affordable UV irradiation system was developed and applied to accelerate the Fenton reaction. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed for the quantitative measurements of estrogenic hormones at 230 nm, which is highly sensitive and capable of accurately measuring hormones within 15 min. The LOD/LOQ values of HPLC system were recorded to be 0.03/0.11 mg/kg and 0.05 /0.15 mg/kg for estrone and 17β-estradiol, respectively. Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles and iron (II) sulfate solution were evaluated as appropriate iron sources under fixed UV irradiation to assess the Fenton process. The main parameters, namely hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) amount, iron (II) sulfate amount, pH, and UV irradiation period, were optimized univariately for determining the optimum conditions. The optimum conditions were recorded to be: 0.70 mL of pH 3.0 buffer solution, 1.25 mL of H2O2, 0.80 mL of 100 mg/L Fe2+ solution, and an irradiation time of 60 min. The removal experiments were also carried out on domestic wastewater to validate the system’s applicability. The percent removal efficiencies of both estrogenic hormones were calculated at higher than 99%. These results showed that high efficiency was achieved within the detection limits of the HPLC system. This proves the possibility of complete degradation of the analytes and their efficiency and practicality for pollution control and water quality improvement in future studies.

(Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University, 2024) Serbest, Hakan
Pesticides are frequently utilized in the cultivation of agricultural products for human consumption to prevent / minimize the detrimental effects caused by pests and to keep the yield at the desired levels at harvest time. Besides the benefits of pesticides, unconscious use of pesticides causes the occurrence of different diseases. Monitoring the levels of pesticide residues is of vital importance for the environment, human, and other living organisms. In the present study, an analytical method was reported for the determination of mefenpyr-diethyl (MFD) as a member of the herbicide group by gas chromatography flame ionization detector (GC-FID) system with high accuracy and sensitivity. An in-column temperature program was established to effectively separate the analyte, and MFD was determined at a retention time of 5.2 min. The limit of detection (LOD), the limit of quantitation (LOQ), and the linear working range were found to be 0.01 mg/L, 0.04 mg/L, and 0.07-29.7 mg/L, respectively. The applicability of the determination method was investigated by recovery studies with barley, oat, and corn silk matrices. No analytical signal was recorded for MFD in blank samples of all three species. Recovery results close to 100% showed that MFD could be determined with high accuracy in barley, oat, and corn silk matrices.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have gained widespread popularity in the fields of portable electronics, electric vehicles, and grid storage due to their remarkable characteristics. These include their exceptional energy density, power density, and extended cycle life. The high energy density of LIBs allows them to store a significant amount of energy in a compact size, making them ideal for portable electronic devices. Additionally, their high power density enables them to deliver a substantial amount of power quickly, which is crucial for applications such as electric vehicles. Moreover, LIBs exhibit a long cycle life, meaning they can undergo numerous charge and discharge cycles without significant degradation in performance. This longevity makes them reliable and cost-effective for grid storage systems. Overall, the exceptional features of LIBs have propelled their extensive use in various industries, revolutionizing the way we power our devices and vehicles. The discovery of intercalation electrodes by Whittingham in the 1970s laid the foundation for LIB development. In the subsequent decades, Goodenough and his colleagues played a pivotal role by developing crucial cathode materials such as layered, spinel, and polyanion. Additionally, Yoshino's pioneering work involved the creation of the first safe LIB prototype, which employed LiCoO2 as the positive electrolde and carbon/graphite as the negative electrode. Since then, remarkable advancements have been achieved in increasing energy density, power density, cycle life, cost-effectiveness, and safety of lithium-ion batteries (Liu, 2021).

(Istanbul University Faculty of Aquatic Sciences, 2023) Özyurt, Dilek; Özdemir Olgun, Fatoş Ayça; Demirata, Birsen; Apak, Reşat
Nanomaterials are preferred for scientific studies due to their spectral properties and perfect surface appearance. This study aims to introduce a novel, environmentally friendly, photocatalytic method for degrading methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solutions. With this purpose in mind, the study synthesizes nanoceria particles and coats them with zahter (Thymbra spicata; zahter-coated nanoceria, ZCNC) following the main outlines of green chemistry as characterized by SEM and FTIR analyses. The study proposes this new nanoparticle (with the aid of H2O2 and UV combinations) as an alternative to iron in Fenton-type reactions for enabling MB degradation. The maximum efficiency was observed through the ternary combination of zahter-coated nanoceria, UV light, and H2O2 at 63% concentration. The degradation of the MB solution was achieved by installing a small amount of ZCNC (0.1g), after which the absorbance values were measured at 664 nm. According to the possible reaction kinetics discussed within the study, the reaction rate was calculated at 1.49 × 10-2 min -1, thus enabling a faster reaction for a better evaluation of the reaction mechanism compared to other degradation processes that have been previously investigated.

(Wiley, 2023) Serbest, Hakan
In the present study, a method is proposed for the determination of lead at trace levels by slotted quartz tube-flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (SQT-FAAS) after preconcentration with stearic acid coated magnetic nanoparticle-based dispersive solid phase extraction (SA-MNP-DSPE). The slotted quartz tube (SQT) is used to enhance the analyte atom residence time in the light path. Stearic acid coated magnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles, which can be easily collected with an external magnet, are used as adsorbent in the extraction process. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) values of the proposed method are obtained as 0.90 and 2.9 mu g L-1, respectively. The method allows high repeatability in a wide linear range between 5.0 and 250 mu g L-1, and the relative standard deviation for six replicates is 5.8%. The detection power is enhanced by about 77-fold compared to the regular flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS) system. The method is validated by recovery experiments to four different lake water samples. After the spiking tests, good recovery results are calculated between 97% and 106%. These results show that lead can be detected at low levels in lake water samples with high sensitivity, accuracy, and precision.
