A Seminar on Fostering Students’ Motivation in English Language Teaching
Dr. Sewara J. Mohammed, a lecturer and researcher at Cihan University Sulaimaniya, recently authored a groundbreaking research article entitled ” Rational design for enhancing sensitivity and robustness of a probe via encapsulation of carbon dots into a zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 for quantification of tetracycline in milk with greenness evaluation.” This significant contribution has been prominently featured by the reputable international publisher Springer, specifically in Research on Chemical Intermediates. Notably, Research on Chemical Intermediates boasts an impressive impact factor of 3.3, as recognized by both Clarivate and Web of Science.
Tetracycline (TC) is a vital class of broad-spectrum antibiotics widely employed. However, its extensive use raises associated concerns. Due to its persistent nature, there is a risk of trace amounts of TC contaminating food. The complex composition of food samples has sparked considerable interest in developing selective and sensitive TC sensors. Here, a novel sensing material, gCDs@ZIF-8, where ZIF-8 is a metal-organic framework composed of Zn2+ and 2-methylimidazole, was developed by incorporating fluorescent green carbon dots (gCDs) into the ZIF-8 for TC detection. Consequently, the synthesized gCDs exhibited green emission and a specific response to tetracycline. The incorporation of gCDs into ZIF-8 enhances sensitivity, making it a valuable probe for the quantification of TC. The method’s environmental friendliness was assessed using three metric tools (AGREE, AGREEprep, and the Complex GAPI), all confirming its superior eco-friendliness.
