Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrochemical sensor for rapid and accurate detection of Na+ and K+ ions in the human body. The sensor utilizes a crown-ether functionalized graphene-based electrode, developed through innovative synthetic strategies. The process involves engineering graphene with highly selective crown ethers, resulting in a biocompatible, high-quality electrode. This sensor exhibits superior potentiometric detection capabilities for Na+ and K+ ions in extremely small samples. The invention offers a low-cost, highly sensitive, and selective method for monitoring ion concentrations, addressing the need for early identification of diseases caused by Na+/K+ imbalances. Benefits include rapid testing, versatility, and potential applications in personalized medicine and point-of-care diagnostics. This technology overcomes existing obstacles in early disease detection and provides a foundation for advanced biosensor development in healthcare.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for synthesizing dysprosium-doped cobalt-chromate for supercapacitor applications and a composition for the same, wherein an efficient and cost-effective Solution Combustion synthesis method is utilized for the preparation of Dy-doped CoCr2O4 (CCD). The stoichiometric dissolution of metal and rare earth nitrates, along with fuels, in distilled water forms a green-colored solution, subsequently heated to 450 degrees Celsius. The resulting ash undergoes grinding to yield a fine green pigment with a controlled size of 25 nm. Electrochemical properties of CCD are thoroughly examined through cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Capacitive behavior, evaluated via various techniques, demonstrates an increase in capacitance with Dy3+ concentration. Density of states calculations reveal improved electronic features after Dy3+ doping, emphasizing enhanced charge storage capabilities.
