In this work, multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were conveniently dispersed into Nafion-ethanol solution, and the MWNT-Nafion-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was described for the simultaneous determination of 2-nitrophenol and 4-nitrophenol. At pH 4.0 phosphate buffer, the reduction peak currents of 2-nitrophenol (at -0.8 V) and 4-nitrophenol (at -1.0 V) increase significantly at the MWNT-Nafion-modified GCE, in comparison with that at the Nafion-modified GCE and the bare GCE. The experimental parameters, such as solution pH of phosphate buffer, accumulation potential and time, and the amounts of MWNT-Nafion onto the GCE surface, were optimized. The reduction peak currents are linear with the concentration of 2-nitrophenol from 5 x 10(-8) to 1 x 10(-5) mol L(-1) and with that of 4-nitrophenol from 1 x 10(-7) to 1 x 10(-5) mol L(-1). The detection limits after 3-min accumulation are 1 x 10(-8) mol L(-1) for 2-nitrophenol and for 4 x 10(-8) mol L(-1) for 4-nitrophenol. This modified electrode was applied to direct determination of 2-nitrophenol and 4-nitrophenol in lake water samples.

Luminol-loaded mesoporous carbon nanospheres (MCs@LU) were utilized to develop a highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor for the detection of L-cysteine (L-Cys). L-Cys acted as the coreactant of luminol, and the pore confinement effect of mesoporous carbons (MCs) resulted in a robust ECL signal. Upon optimization, a linear correlation between the ECL intensity and L-Cys concentration was observed over the range of 5.

The unreasonable use of organic dye leads to excessive residues in environmental water, which seriously threatens human health and the natural environment. In this paper, a spherical flower-like magnetic FeO@CoNi layered double hydroxide@silver nanoparticle (FeO@CoNi LDH@Ag NPs) SERS substrate was successfully fabricated electrostatic self-assembly and applied for the sensitive detection of methylene blue (MB) in environmental water. The rapid concentration and separation of the SERS substrate from the water sample could be achieved using an external magnet.

ZnO-doped CuO nanocomposites (CuO-ZnO NPs) of 1, 3, and 5 mol% were prepared by the solution combustion method using ODH as a fuel (Oxlyl-hydrazide) at 500 °C and calcining at 1000 °C for two hours and the Structural, photocatalytic, and electrochemical properties were investigated by experimental and theoretical methods. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed a crystallite size (D) range of 25 to 31 nm for pure CuO and 1, 3, and 5 mol% CuO-ZnO NPs. According to calculations, the optical energy band gap (Eg) of the NPs is between 2.
