The pentavalent arsenic compound roxarsone (RSN) is used as a feed additive in poultry for rapid growth, eventually ending up in poultry litter. Poultry litter contains chicken manure, which plays a vital role as an affordable fertilizer by providing rich nutrients to agricultural land. Consequently, the extensive use of poultry droppings serves as a conduit for the spread of toxic forms of arsenic in the soil and surface water.

The toxicity of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) is one of the most common threats to the environment; therefore, developing a simple and sensitive analytical method to detect 4-NP is crucial. In this study, we prepared the Nd(OH)/VSe nanocomposite using the simple hydrothermally assisted ultrasonication method and it was used to detect the 4-NP. Different characterization techniques were used to investigate the morphological and chemical compositions of Nd(OH)/VSe nanocomposite.

The gadolinium vanadate nanostructure decorated functionalized carbon nanofiber (GdVO/f-CNF) nanocomposite was prepared by the hydrothermal method, which is fabricated on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the determination of carbamazepine (CBZ). The structural morphology of the hydrothermally synthesized GdVO/f-CNF material was investigated by several spectroscopy methods such as FESEM, HRTEM, EDS-mapping, XRD, XPS, and Raman. Moreover, the electrical conductivity of our synthesized material was inspected by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis, and the electrochemical performance towards CBZ was inspected by the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and amperometry (AMP) analysis under optimized conditions.

This study utilized a simple hydrothermal method to synthesize nickel molybdenum oxide (NMO) for the detection of furazolidone (FZE). Our synthesized NMO was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron spectroscopy (FE-SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were used to detect the FZE.
