研究目的
To develop an effective material based on ZnSe-CdSe nanoparticles coated with silica (SiO2) for metal ions determination and useful environmental applications, specifically for electrochemical detection and adsorptive removal of copper ions from aqueous media.
研究成果
ZnSe-CdSe/SiO2 core-shell nanomaterial is effective for both electrochemical detection (with a detection limit of 50 μgL?1) and adsorption (uptake capacity of 126.25 mgg?1) of copper ions. The adsorption data fit Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, indicating monolayer adsorption and favorable thermodynamics. This material shows promise for environmental monitoring and remediation applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to laboratory conditions with synthetic samples; real-world environmental samples may have interferences. The electrochemical sensor's detection limit of 50 μgL?1 may not be sufficient for ultra-trace levels, and the adsorption capacity, while high, could be optimized further. The material's stability and reusability in long-term applications were not extensively tested.
