Imaging and tracking an electrostatic charge micro-domain by Kelvin force microscopy as evidence of water adsorption on mica surface

Muscovite mica is a widely accepted substrate for scanning probe microscopy (SPM) investigations. However, mica has intrinsic properties that alter samples and obstruct their analysis due to free charges build-up, ionic exchange and water adsorption taking place at the surface. In addition to interfacial phenomena, there is a growing interest in electrostatic charges on insulators as they are crucial in diverse applications. Despite the high demand for studies of this nature, experimental set-ups capable of resolving charge build-up at the micro-scale are still scarce and technically limited. Here, we report the imaging of surface charge dissipation on freshly cleaved mica by Kelvin-probe Force Microscopy (KPFM). A local electrostatic charge micro-domain was generated by friction between an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip and mica, and its decay was tracked by two-dimensional mapping using KPFM. We found time-dependent charge dissipation, which is attributed to the adsorption of water molecules on mica surface.     

A gold-based nanobeacon probe for fluorescence sensing of organophosphorus pesticides

A nanomaterials-based novel molecular beacon has attracted growing attentions in fluorescent assays as many nanomaterials possess excellent quenching efficiency. In this work, a gold-based nanobeacon probe was established to detect organophosphorus pesticides for the first time. The constructed gold-based nanobeacon acted as a signal indicator and could display the decreasing of the intensity in the presence of targets, which competitively bound to single strand DNA. To achieve a high sensitive probe, some parameters including solution pH, temperature and reaction time were investigated and optimized. The gold-based nanobeacon probe assay was proved to be rapid and sensitive to achieve a detection limit of 0.035 μM for isocarbophos, 0.134 μM for profenofos, 0.384 μM for phorate and 2.35 μM for omethoate, respectively. The prepared nanobeacon effectively reduced the background and improved the detection sensitivity and selectivity. The probe is stable, easy to operate and does not need sophisticated instruments. These features makes the probe feasible for screening trace organophosphorus pesticides in real samples.

Study of adsorption of oxygen on β-Al2O3 + Au and β-Al2O3 + Pt: Work function measurements—proposition of a model

To improve the understanding of the electrochemical effects observed on an original potentiometric gas sensor, interactions of oxygen with the device were investigated. This gas sensor is made of a solid electrolyte (treated Na-β-alumina) associated with two metallic electrodes (gold and platinum) located in the same gas mixture. Adsorption of charged oxygen species, considered responsible for the electrical response developed by the sensor, was investigated by work function measurements. Results showed that charged oxygen species only form on partially gold or platinum covered solid electrolyte. Comparison of these results with those obtained in a previous calorimetric study of interactions between oxygen and the same materials suggests the existence of at least two different oxygen species adsorbed on the surface of the sensitive element. The first one, located on the solid electrolyte surface, is neutral and characterized by an endothermal reaction of formation. The second one is charged and probably produced at the gas/solid electrolyte/metallic electrode interface. A mechanism based on the concept of “three phase boundary” and similar to the “reverse spillover” phenomenon is proposed to account for the adsorption of these oxygen species.
