Aluminum oxide nano porous: Synthesis, properties, and applications

A graphene oxide/polyaniline nanocomposite biosensor: synthesis, characterization, and electrochemical detection of bilirubin

“…Finally, aer 24 h, the prepared electrode was washed with 5 ml of the phosphate buffer solution to remove the unbound enzyme. [74][75][76] 2.6 Response measurement and optimization factors of the BOx/GO@PANI/ITO electrode Cyclic voltammetry measurements were carried out utilizing three electrodes with three mixture solutions as an electrolyte containing (10 ml, 0.1 M) KCl, (5 ml, 0.1 M, pH 7.5) sodium phosphate buffer, and (0.1 ml, 0.1 mM) of bilirubin with a potential range between −0.4 to 0.4 V. To determine the optimum concentration of the enzyme, the reaction was executed at different enzyme concentrations in the range of 100 to 500 IU. Many factors, such as pH impact, bilirubin concentration, temperature, and incubation time were studied to optimize the performance of the BOx/GO@PANI/ITO electrode.…”

Mechanistic Study of the Influence of Reactant Type and Addition Sequence on the Microscopic Morphology of α-Al2O3

“…Compared to β-alumina and γ-alumina, α-alumina has the tightest crystal structure, highest chemical stability, and excellent electrochemical properties and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in areas such as integrated circuits [1,2], optical sensing [3,4], filler materials [5], and refractory materials [6,7]. The importance of the microstructure on the application performance of materials is well known.…”

Synthesis, Characterization, and Performance of Nano-Metal-Oxide (Al2O3) Blended Biochar for the Removal of Iron from Contaminated Water for Enhanced Kinetic and Adsorption Studies

“…Moreover, a complex interplay results between the adsorptive ability of biochar and the generation of free radicals by the integrated nano-catalysts. Subsequently, the adaptability of this material, given the ability to tailor the nano-metal coatings to target specific contaminants, underscores its potential in diverse water treatment scenarios and offers a promising avenue for future research [6,14,16,17] Considering Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles, the large surface area provides numerous prospects for creating pores, resulting in enhanced porosity [18,19]. In addition, nano-sized (Al 2 O 3 ) particles possess increased surface reactivity, making them more prone to chemical reactions that can lead to the formation of pores.…”

“…Furthermore, they possess different mechanical and thermal properties from their bulk counterparts. These characteristics can induce porosity, as smaller particles may deform or fracture more easily and develop pores [18,19]. Hence, the enhanced porosity of nano-metal materials such as Al 2 O 3 is primarily attributed to their high surface area, increased surface reactivity, and size-dependent properties.…”
