With this project, we aim to utilize the carbon dots derived from biowaste (BWCDs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), for a novel biosensing platform. Overcoming challenges in creating a versatile material platform for biomolecules necessitates precise control of nanoscale material characteristics. Introducing out-of-plane functionalities and covalent bridges in BWCDs, coupled with MOFs, which can offer an ideal biosensing platform. By altering functionalities in BWCDs and MOFs, a wide range of bioreceptors can be immobilized. Integration with scanning electrochemical microscopy aims to enhance biosensor performance by extending the limit of detection, crucial for detecting minute concentrations of target biomolecules.
Responsibilities:
• Synthesis and optimization of biowaste derived activated carbon and metal organic frameworks and their structural and electrochemical characterization.
• Literature survey
• Data plotting
• Presentation and reports preparation
• Assistance in supervising students in the laboratory.
