© 2022 Elsevier LtdIn this study, carbon nanotube supported Pd catalysts (Pd/CNT) are synthesized at different weight percentages by the sodium borohydride (NaBH4) reduction method to investigate catalytic performance of glucose electrooxidation reaction. 0.5% Pd/CNT, 3% Pd/CNT, and 7% Pd/CNT catalysts are characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), and N2 adsorption-desorption measurements. The average particle size and surface area of 3% Pd/CNT catalyst are determined as 46.33 nm and 129.48 m2/g, respectively. Characterization results indicate that Pd/CNT catalysts are successfully prepared by NaBH4 reduction method. Cyclic voltammetry measurements are performed to investigate the effect of Pd loading for the glucose electrooxidation. CV results reveal that 3% Pd/CNT catalyst exhibits best glucose electrooxidation activity. Following this, experimental optimization is performed to obtain maximum glucose electrooxidation activity via response surface methodology (RSM). Estimated and experimental specific activities at optimum experimental conditions are assigned as 6.186 and 5.832 mA/cm2, respectively. To understand the glucose electrooxidation activity on the surface of Pd/CNT, surface modeling is also performed with density functional theory (DFT) method to investigate adsorption of glucose molecule on CNT supported Pd surface. The DFT results emphasize that the addition of Pd atom to the CNT structure significantly improves the catalytic performance in glucose electrooxidation.

Glucose isomerase production on a xylan-based medium by Bacillus thermoantarcticus
Çalık, Pınar; Haykir, Nazife Isik; BOYACI, İSMAİL HAKKI (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-15)
Effects of medium components on intracellular glucose isomerase (GI) production were investigated by Bacillus thermoantarcticus. The highest GI activity was obtained as 1630 U dm(-3) in the medium containing (g dm(-3)): 10.6, birchwood-xylan: 5.6, yeast extract: 5.9 (NH(4))(2)SO(4) at T = 55 C in 33 cm(-3) shake-flasks. When birchwood-xylan was replaced with oat spelt- or beechwood-xylan, GI activity decreased to 1372 and 1308 U dm(-3). respectively. Effects of pH at uncontrolled-pH (pH(UC) = 6.0) and contr...
Investigation of glucose electrooxidation mechanism over N-modified metal-doped graphene electrode by density functional theory approach
Duzenli, Derya; Önal, Işık; Tezsevin, Ilker (2022-10-01)
In this work, various precious and non-precious metals reported in the literature as the most effective catalysts for glucose electrooxidation reaction were investigated by the density functional theory (DFT) approach in order to reveal the mechanisms taking place over the catalysts in the fuel cell. The use of a single-atom catalyst model was adopted by insertion of one Au, Cu, Ni, Pd, Pt, and Zn metal atom on the pyridinic N atoms doped graphene surface (NG). beta form of d-glucose in alkaline solution wa...

In this report, we present a new detection method for blood glucose, using gold nanorod SERS, a surface enhanced Raman scattering probe embedded in two component self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Gold nanorod particles and a gold coated slide surface were modified with the two component SAMs consisting of 3-mercaptophenylboronic acid (3-MBA) and 1-decanethiol (1-DT). The immobilization of 3-MBA/1-DT surface-functionalized gold nanoparticles onto 3-MBA/1-DT modified gold-coated slide surfaces was achieved by...
Interaction of nitric oxide with elements
Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2001-11-16)
Interaction of nitric oxide with elements has been investigated by performing density functional theory calculation within the effective core potential level. The structural, electronic, and vibrational properties of A-NO trimers have been calculated in their ground state.
Effects of oxidative functionalized and aminosilanized carbon nanotubes on the crystallization behaviour of polyamide-6 nanocomposites
Kaynak, Cevdet (2014-04-01)
The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of oxidative functionalized and aminosilanized carbon nanotubes on the (1) isothermal and (2) non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of polyamide-6 by DSC analyses, and (3) crystal structure of injection molded specimens by XRD analyses. Nanocomposites were compounded by using melt mixing technique via twin screw extrusion. Due to basically very effective heterogeneous nucleation effect, both increasing amount and surface functionalization of carbon nanot...
