In this research paper, we report that cobalt nano-particles supported on alumina nanofibers (Co/Al2O3) are acting as active nanocatalyst for catalytic hydrolysis of methylamine-borane. Co/Al2O3 nanocatalyst was fabricated by double-solvent method followed with wet-chemical reduction, and was characterized by utilizing various spectroscopic methods and imaging techniques. The results gathered from these analyses showed that the formation Al2O3 nanofibers supported cobalt(0) nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 3.9 +/- 1.2 nm. The catalytic feat of these cobalt nanoparticles was scrutinized in the catalytic hydrolysis of methylamine-borane by considering their activity and durability performances. They achieve releasing of 3.0 equivalent of H-2 via methylamine-borane hydrolysis at room temperature (initial TOF = 297 mol H-2/mol metal x h). Along with activity the catalytic durability of Co/Al2O3 was also studied by carrying out recyclability tests and it was found that these supported cobalt nanoparticles have good durability during the course of the catalytic recycles so that Co/Al2O3 preserves almost its innate activity at 5th catalytic recycle. The studies presented here also contains kinetic investigation of Co/Al2O3 catalyzed methylamine borane hydrolysis depending on the temperature, cobalt and methylamine borane concentrations, which were used to define rate expression and the activation energy of the catalytic reaction.

Despite that, the high purity of hydrogen production from the complete dehydrogenation of HB stands as a major problem that needs to be solved for the convenient use of HB in on-demand hydrogen production systems. In this study, we describe the development of a new catalytic material comprised of bimetallic Ni@Ir core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) supported on OMS-2-type manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieve nanorods (Ni@Ir/OMS-2), which can reproducibly be prepared by following a synthesis protocol including (i) the oleylamine-mediated preparation of colloidal Ni@Ir NPs and (ii) wet impregnation of these ex situ synthesized Ni@Ir NPs onto the OMS-2 surface. The characterization of Ni@Ir/OMS-2 has been done by using various spectroscopic and visualization techniques, and their results have revealed the formation of well-dispersed Ni@Ir core-shell NPs on the surface of OMS-2. The catalytic employment of Ni@Ir/OMS-2 in the dehydrogenation of HB showed that Ni-0.22@Ir-0.78/OMS-2 exhibited high dehydrogenation selectivity (>99%) at complete conversion with a turnover frequency (TOF) value of 2590 h(-1) at 323 K, which is the highest activity value among all reported catalysts for the complete dehydrogenation of HB. Furthermore, the Ni-0.22@Ir-0.78/OMS-2 catalyst enables facile recovery and high stability against agglomeration and leaching, which make it a reusable catalyst in the complete dehydrogenation of HB. The studies reported herein also include the collection of wealthy kinetic data to determine the activation parameters for Ni-0.22@Ir-0.78/OMS-2-catalyzed dehydrogenation of HB.Article Developing a New and Simple Ultrasound-Assisted Emulsification Liquid Phase Microextraction Method Built Upon Deep Eutectic Solvents for Patent Blue V in Syrup and Water Samples(Elsevier Science Bv, 2019) Kanberoglu, Gulsah Saydan; Yilmaz, Erkan; Soylak, MustafaIn this study, Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) were utilized for ultrasound -assisted emulsification liquid phase microextraction (UA-ELPME) of Patent Blue V in syrup and water samples.

We found that the results obtained using the potentiometric technique is consistent with the results obtained using GC method at 95% confidence level.Article Development of a Pvc Membrane Potentiometric Sensor With Low Detection Limit and Wide Linear Range for the Determination of Maprotiline in Pharmaceutical Formulations(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2022) Tekce, Serkan; Subasi, Yaver; Coldur, Fatih; Kanberoglu, Gulsah Saydan; Zahmakiran, MehmetMaprotiline (MAP), is an active ingredient of some antidepressants which has been broadly used for the therapy of depression. The overdose of MAP in the treatment of patients with depression can lead to significant side effects, even lethal intoxication. Therefore, it is very important to develop simple, inexpensive, fast and reliable detection methods for MAP in interested samples. In our present study, we have offered a novel poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) membrane maprotiline-selective potentiometric sensor based on a type of MOFs, known as MIL-53(Al), as electroactive ionophore substance. The sensor prepared at the optimum membrane composition exhibited a linear response for maprotiline hydrochloride in the concentration range of 1,0x10(-9) M-1,0x10(-2) M with a slope of 59,1 mV/decade and detection limit of 9,0x10(-10) M. The pH working range of the sensor was determined as 2,0-9,5. The response time of the sensor was very fast and less than 5 s. With these performance features, it has been shown that the current sensor has quite superior features compared to the potentiometric MAP-selective sensor available in the literature. The potentiometric application of the sensor was successfully carried out with the detection of MAP in pharmaceutical tablets containing MAP-HCl.Article Development of a Reliable Microrna Based Electrochemical Genosensor for Monitoring of Mir-146a, as Key Regulatory Agent of Neurodegenerative Disease(Elsevier Science Bv, 2019) Khalilzadeh, Balal; Rashidi, Mohammad; Soleimanian, Alireza; Tajalli, Habib; Kanberoglu, Gulsah Saydan; Baradaran, Behzad; Rashidi, Mohammad-RezaA MicroRNA (miR) based electrochemical method for quantification of miR-146a, a known biomarker for neurodegenerative disease, was developed.

This bacterium contaminates water sources and food products and can be transmitted to the human population. The infection caused by L.M. is called listeriosis and is common in pregnant women, immune-deficient patients, and older adults. Based on the released statistics, listeriosis has a high rate of hospitalization and mortality; thus, rapid and timely detection of food contamination and listeriosis cases is necessary. During the last few decades, biosensors have been used for the detection and monitoring of varied bacteria species. These devices are detection platforms with great sensitivity and low detection limits. Among different types of biosensors, electrochemical biosensors have a high capability to circumvent several drawbacks associated with the application of conventional laboratory techniques. In this review article, different electrochemical biosensor types used for the detection of listeriosis were discussed in terms of actuators, bioreceptors, specific working electrodes, and signal amplification. We hope that this review will facilitate researchers to access a complete and comprehensive template for pathogen detection based on the different formats of electrochemical biosensors.Article Electrodeposition of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles on the Graphenized Carbon Ceramic Electrode (Gcce) for the Sensitive Determination of Isoprenaline in Human Serum by Differential Pulse Voltammetry (Dpv)(Taylor & Francis inc, 2022) Shafaei, Sepideh; Akbari Nakhjavani, Sattar; Kanberoglu, Gulsah Saydan; Khalilzadeh, Balal; Mohammad-Rezaei, RahimCerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2) are widely used as the electrocatalyst in solar cells, fuel cells, water splitting, and electroanalytical experiments.

In this regard, an electrochemical (EC) biosensor with high sensitivity was fabricated by merging MIL156 MOF@COF nanocomposite with Au nanoparticles for the detection of CA15-3. Herein, metal clusters of MIL-156 as a Metal organic frameworks (MOF) were coated by a crystalline covalent organic frameworks (COF) through covalent bonding and created core-shell-like structures. The active part of the working electrode was modified in two consecutive steps. First, MIL-156 MOF@COF and then Au nanoparticles were electrodeposited on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The porosity of nanocomposite has significantly increased the surface area and improved the conductivity. Au nanoparticles also form an acceptable substrate for bonding antibodies due to their high affinity with amino groups. In addition, Au nanoparticles amplify the EC signal of the biosensor with their undeniable conductivity. Nanocomposite was characterized with XRD, SEM, and EDAX techniques. To investigate the proposed biosensor, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used as an analytical technique. The CA15-3 calibration provided a linear range between concentrations of 30 and 100 nU/mL, thus expressing the powerful diagnostic potential of the designed biosensor. Furthermore, the suggested biosensor has been used in serum samples and discriminate breast cancer sufferers from healthy individuals with high confidence levels.Article Hydrotalcite Framework Stabilized Ruthenium Nanoparticles (ru/Htal): Efficient Heterogeneous Catalyst for the Methanolysis of Ammonia-Borane(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2020) Baguc, Ismail Burak; Yurderi, Mehmet; Kanberoglu, Gulsah Saydan; Bulut, AhmetRuthenium nanoparticles stabilized by a hydrotalcite framework (Ru/HTaL) were prepared by following a 2-step procedure comprising a wet-impregnation of ruthenium(III) chloride precatalyst on the surface of HTaL followed by an ammonia-borane (NH3BH3) reduction of precatalyst on the HTaL surface all at room temperature. The characterization of Ru/HTaL was done by using various spectroscopic and visualization methods including ICP-OES, P-XRD, FTIR, B-11 NMR, XPS, BFTEM, and HRTEM. The sum of the results gained from these analyses has revealed the formation of well-dispersed and highly crystalline ruthenium nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 1.27 +/- 0.8 nm on HTaL surface. The catalytic performance of Ru/HTaL in terms of activity, selectivity, and stability was investigated in the methanolysis of ammonia-borane (NH3BH3, AB), which has been considered as one of the most promising chemical hydrogen storage materials. It was found that Ru/HTaL can catalyse methanolysis of AB effectively with an initial turnover frequency (TOF) value of 392.77 min(-1) at conversion (>95%) even at room temperature. Moreover, the catalytic stability tests of Ru/HTaL in AB methanolysis showed that Ru/HTaL acts as a highly stable and reusable heterogeneous catalyst in this reaction by preserving more than 95% of its initial activity even at the 5th recycle.Article Inhibition Effects of Isoproterenol, Chlorpromazine, Carbamazepine, Tamoxifen Drugs on Glutathione S-Transferase, Cholinesterases Enzymes and Molecular Docking Studies(Taylor & Francis inc, 2021) Turkan, Fikret; Calimli, Mehmet Harbi; Kanberoglu, Gulsah Saydan; Karaman, MuhammetNowadays, inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) have been a very crucial issue for pharmacological treatments of several disasters.
