Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Electrochemical and Optical Multi-Detection of Escherichia Coli Through Magneto-Optic Nanoparticles: A Pencil-on Biosensor(MDPI, 2024-12-10) Soysaldi, Furkan; Ekici, Derya Dincyurek; Soylu, Mehmet cagri; Mutlugun, Evren; Dincyurek Ekici, DeryaEscherichia coli (E. coli) detection suffers from slow analysis time and high costs, along with the need for specificity. While state-of-the-art electrochemical biosensors are cost-efficient and easy to implement, their sensitivity and analysis time still require improvement. In this work, we present a paper-based electrochemical biosensor utilizing magnetic core-shell Fe2O3@CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (MQDs) to achieve fast detection, low cost, and high sensitivity. Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as the detection technique, the biosensor achieved a limit of detection of 2.7 x 10(2) CFU/mL for E. coli bacteria across a concentration range of 10(2)-10(8) CFU/mL, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 3.5781%. From an optical perspective, as E. coli concentration increased steadily from 10(4) to 10(7) CFU/mL, quantum dot fluorescence showed over 60% lifetime quenching. This hybrid biosensor thus provides rapid, highly sensitive E. coli detection with a fast analysis time of 30 min. This study, which combines the detection advantages of electrochemical and optical biosensor systems in a graphite-based paper sensor for the first time, has the potential to meet the needs of point-of-care applications. It is thought that future studies that will aim to examine the performance of the production-optimized, portable, graphite-based sensor system on real food samples, environmental samples, and especially medical clinical samples will be promising.Article Citation - WoS: 59Citation - Scopus: 62Cadmium-Free and Efficient Type-II InP/ZnO Quantum Dots and Their Application for Leds(Amer Chemical Soc, 2021-07-01) Eren, Guncem Ozgun; Sadeghi, Sadra; Jalali, Houman Bahmani; Ritter, Maximilian; Han, Mertcan; Baylam, Isinsu; Nizamoglu, Sedat; Bahmani Jalali, HoumanIt is a generally accepted perspective that type-II nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) have low quantum yield due to the separation of the electron and hole wavefunctions. Recently, high quantum yield levels were reported for cadmium-based typeII QDs. Hence, the quest for finding non-toxic and efficient type-II QDs is continuing. Herein, we demonstrate environmentally benign type-II InP/ZnO/ZnS core/shell/shell QDs that reach a high quantum yield of similar to 91%. For this, ZnO layer was grown on core InP QDs by thermal decomposition, which was followed by a ZnS layer via successive ionic layer adsorption. The small-angle Xray scattering shows that spherical InP core and InP/ZnO core/ shell QDs turn into elliptical particles with the growth of the ZnS shell. To conserve the quantum efficiency of QDs in device architectures, InP/ZnO/ZnS QDs were integrated in the liquid state on blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as down-converters that led to an external quantum efficiency of 9.4% and a power conversion efficiency of 6.8%, respectively, which is the most efficient QD-LED using type-II QDs. This study pointed out that cadmium-free type-II QDs can reach high efficiency levels, which can stimulate novel forms of devices and nanomaterials for bioimaging, display, and lighting.
