The presence of heavy metal ions in the environment is a long-lasting problem that requires the simultaneous detection of Hg(II) and Pb(II) which is both vital and challenging. This present study examines a simplified and effective approach for synthesizing multi-walled carbon nanotube-copper manganese oxide (MWCNT-CuMnO) and multi-walled carbon nanotube-zinc manganese oxide (MWCNT-ZnMnO) nanocomposites for electrochemical detection of heavy metal ions. The nanocomposites MWCNT-CuMnO and MWCNT-ZnMnO exceptional electrochemical performance was evaluated using Square Wave Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (SWASV). The fabricated MWCNT-ZnMnO demonstrated lower values of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) with charge transfer resistance (R) of approximately 34.13 Ω. Remarkably, the MWCNT-ZnMnO electrochemical sensor exhibited the widest linear ranges of 0.5-10 μM with sensitive detection limits (0.011 μM for Hg(II) and 0.014 μM for Pb(II)). Interestingly, the MWCNT-ZnMnO sensor showed excellent capability in detecting Hg(II) and Pb(II) in real water samples with a recovery percentage of 94.1% and 91.3%. Overall, the MWCNT-ZnMnO modified GCE showcased superior selectivity, sensitivity, reproducibility, stability, and repeatability.

Background: Electrochemical methods, particularly those utilizing sensors, offer distinct advantages over classical analytical methods. They are cost-effective, compatible with mass fabrication, suitable for remote sensing, and can be designed as handheld analyzers. In this context, MIL-101(Cr)-(COOH)₂@MWCNTs was utilized for the first time as a modifier for GCE for the sensitive voltammetric detection of Pb(II), Cu(II), and Hg(II).

Aquaculture organisms may accumulate metals to induce health risks. Compared with the focus on total contents, chemical-specific risk assessment makes reasonable but is rare. Herein, we elucidated occurrence of twelve metal compounds in shrimp and fish (edible muscle, one of major metal-containing and generally targeted organs), water, sediment, and feedstuff from two aquaculture ponds in Zhejiang Province (one of the major aquatic production and consumption areas).

Heavy metals and metalloids are the most common environmental pollutants. Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) is a standard operating procedure that is used to assess heavy metal and metalloid compositions, and evaluate the hazardous nature of waste and waste-derived materials for reuse or disposal, such as determining landfill suitability. However, TCLP and the following detections are time-consuming and require bulky laboratory-based instruments and trained personnel.

In the present work, we report the synthesis and evaluation of a graphite-supported bismuth film working electrode (BiFE) in the simultaneous quantification of Hg(II) and Pb(II) at ppb levels. The BiFE was synthesized in-situ by electrodeposition in 1 M HNO as the supporting electrolyte at -0.5 V potential.
