Nitrogen doped hierarchical porous carbon materials (HPCs) was achieved by the successful carbonization, using pig lung as biomass precursor. Three-dimensional HPCs constituted with sheets and lines were synergistically inherited from original pig lung. Such structure provided a large specific surface area (958.5 g m) and rich porous, effectively supported a large number of electro-active species, and greatly enhanced the mass and electron transfer. High graphitization degree of HPCs resulted in good electrical conductivity. Furthermore, the different electronegativity between nitrogen and carbon atoms in HPCs could affect the electron cloud distribution, polarity and then the electrochemical oxidation kinetics of dihydroxybenzene isomers. Based on these characteristics of HPCs, the electrochemical sensor for dihydroxybenzene isomers exhibited high sensitivity, excellent specificity and stability. Quantitative analysis assays by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technology showed that the sensor has wide linear ranges (0.5-320, 0.5-340 and 1-360 μmol L) and low detection limits (0.078, 0.057 and 0.371 μmol L) for the catechol, resorcinol and hydroquinone, respectively. This proposed method was successfully applied for simultaneous detection of dihydroxybenzene isomers in river water.

This study introduces an innovative approach for quantifying isomeric pollutants utilizing an amperometric sensor. The determination of the isomers hydroquinone and catechol is based on the use of a glassy carbon electrode modified with Cu@PtPd/C nanoparticles (Cu@PtPd/C/GCE) in core-shell form, showing significant electrocatalytic activity in the oxidation of the later compounds. The determination was carried out at two different potentials: one at which where only hydroquinone is oxidized, and another in which where both hydroquinone and catechol are oxidized.

This work describes a new electrochemical biosensor for the simultaneous determination of catechol and hydroquinone. A laccase biorecognition layer was deposited using an innovative soft plasma polymerization technique onto a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to sufficiently separate catechol (CT) and hydroquinone (HQ) oxidation peaks. The electrochemical analysis carried out for MWCNTs with various morphologies was supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations showing differences in the electronic structures of both dihydroxybenzene isomers and the MWCNTs forming the biosensor interlayer.

Co-based coordination polymers (CoCP) based on 4,4'-bis(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)-1,1'-biphenyl (BMB) ligand have been synthesized for the first time by the solvothermal method. The CoCP was carbonized at 700 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain carbide coordination polymer (C-CoCP) with a unique two-dimensional layered network structure. C-CoCP@GO was obtained by binding with GO and C-CoCP, its morphology and structure were investigated by XRD, SEM, EDS, FTIR, and TGA, which confirmed its two-dimensional stacked layered structure with high catalytic activity and large specific surface area.

Hexabromobenzene (HBB), pentabromotoluene (PBT), and pentabromoethylbenzene (PBEB) are current-use brominated flame retardants (cuBFRs) which have been repeatedly detected in environmental samples. Since information on hydroxylated transformation products (OH-TPs) was scarcely available, the three polybrominated compounds were UV irradiated for 10 min in benzotrifluoride. Fractionation on silica gel enabled the separate collection and identification of OH-TPs.
