研究目的
To analyze the potential application of hematite (α-Fe2O3) for the detection of p-nitrophenol (p-NP) using current-voltage (J(cid:0) V) technique.
研究成果
The α-Fe2O3/GCE electrode reflects higher sensitivity, lower detection limit, and limit of quantification than other proposed materials using a reliable J(cid:0) V method. This novel approach can be introduced for the development of an efficient chemical sensor of p-NP in health care and environmental hazardous materials detection.
研究不足
The study does not clarify the actual mechanism of the reaction involving intermediate peroxides in the reduction of p-NP. Further work is required to understand the mechanism.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication of a thin-layer of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with 5% nafion coating binders onto α-Fe2O3 thin film synthesized by a simple and inexpensive process. The electrochemical performance towards p-nitrophenol was evaluated using a current-voltage method.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples were collected from various sources, such as industrial effluent, extract from PC baby-bottle, and seawater.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Glassy carbon electrode (GCE), α-Fe2O3 thin film, nafion coating binders.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The current responses of the α-Fe2O3/GCE electrodes were examined for a wide range of concentrations (from 1.0 nM to 1.0 mM) of p-NP. The current increased gradually with increasing concentration of analyte, providing good signal at + 1.5 V.
5:0 nM to 0 mM) of p-NP. The current increased gradually with increasing concentration of analyte, providing good signal at + 5 V.
Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: The current responses were analyzed to calculate the analytical parameters corresponding to the calibration of the sensor. Linear and semi-logarithmic calibration curves were plotted.
