  • Patent number: 11939625
    Abstract: A method and a sensor for detecting L-cystine are disclosed. The method is implemented by assembling a sodium 3,3?-dithiodipropane sulfonate (SPS) membrane on a surface of Au membrane layer of an Au electrode and using an extended gate of field effect transistor (FET) and in-situ signal amplification of the FET to detect L-cystine sensitively. The polyanion of the SPS membrane adsorbs and binds a positively charged target L-cystine through electrostatic interaction, thus forming an electric double layer structure to generate a membrane potential identifying a monovalent organic ammonium ion. The sensor includes the FET, wherein a gate-extended gold electrode is arranged on the FET, and the SPS membrane is assembled on the surface of the Au membrane layer of the gate-extended gold electrode. The sensor has an excellent Nernst response to L-cystine.

    Abstract: A method for preparing a modified sodium fluoride adsorbent includes the following steps: S1. producing spherical particles of NiCl12.6H2O and porous NaF with a mass ratio of 1:3.0-3.5; S2. sintering the spherical particles in a vacuum environment at a temperature of 120-130° C. for 10-40 hours and at a temperature of 280-300° C. for 10-40 hours, respectively, to form an adsorbent intermediate with a NiCl2—NaF framework, wherein, a vacuum degree is less than or equal to 500 pa; and S3. treating the adsorbent intermediate by fluorine-nitrogen mixtures with high purity to obtain the novel sodium fluoride adsorbent having NiCl2—NaF framework. The modified sodium fluoride adsorbent can effectively separate chlorine trifluoride and hydrogen fluoride molecules, and the optimal adsorption rate of hydrogen fluoride is upgraded to more than 98%. While, the optimal adsorption rate of chlorine trifluoride is lowered down to around 3%.
