In the present work, rGO/MoS/FeO nanocomposite was synthesized and after confirmation of the structure by FTIR, XRD, and FESEM techniques, its performance as nanosorbent was investigated for the removal of fenitrothion pesticide from the aqueous media. The parameters affecting the removal process including agitation time, pH of the reaction medium, adsorbent content, initial analyte concentration as well as desorption parameters were investigated and optimized. Under optimum conditions (pH = 7, adsorbent amount: 30 mg, adsorption and desorption time: 5 min, eluent type and volume: 0.

In the present work, Pd/rGO and PdZrO/rGO nanostructures were synthesized in a single step by hydrothermal method. Synthesized nanostructures containing 20 wt% Pd nanoparticles were characterized and approved using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy techniques. The performance of Pd and PdZrOhybridized with rGO as catalysts were investigated and compared in the process of hydrogen production by water electrolysis and also in the process of electricity generation by methanol oxidation in the fuel cell.

A novel conductive polymeric ionic liquid (IL)-Fe3O4 nanocomposite (represented as PIL-Fe3O4) based on inorganic-organic hybrid material was synthesized using two different methods. Nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, and field emission scanning electron microscopy characterized the structures of IL, Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and PIL-Fe3O4. The electrochemical sensors based on PIL-Fe3O4-modified glassy carbon electrode were fabricated, and each of these nanocomposites was examined for the ability to determine amlodipine besylate (AMD).

In the present work a sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor was fabricated based on a glassy carbon electrode which has been modified with Pd nanoparticles loaded on Vulcan carbon/conductive polymeric ionic liquid composite nanofibers. The nanostructures were characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR, FESEM, EDX and XRD techniques. The electrochemical study of the modified electrode, as well as its efficiency for the electrooxidation of tramadol was described in 0.

In the present study, a carbon paste electrode chemically modified with gold nanoparticles was used as a sensitive electrochemical sensor for determination of ochratoxin A. The differential pulse voltammetric method was employed to study the behavior of ochratoxin A on this modified electrode. The effect of variables such as percent of gold nanoparticles, pH of sample solution, accumulation potential and time on voltammogram peak current were optimized.
