An efficient non‐noble metal eletrocatalyst, nickel hydroxide/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite (Ni(OH)2/sr‐GO), is synthesized in the absence of reductants and alkali by a simple one‐step solvothermal method. The morphology, structure, and composition of the Ni(OH)2/sr‐GO nanocomposite is characterized by various analytical techniques like scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy. The Ni(OH)2/sr‐GO nanocomposite is then used to construct a nonenzymatic amperometric sensor for highly sensitive detection of nitrite. The result shows that the Ni(OH)2/sr‐GO nanocomposite possesses superior electrocatalytic ability toward nitrite. The electrochemical performance of the Ni(OH)2/sr‐GO is evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, chronocoulometry, and cyclic voltammetry. Under the optimal conditions, the electrochemical sensor for nitrite detection exhibits a linear range from 0.1 to 663.6 μM, with a detection limit of 0.07 μM (S/N=3). In addition, the sensor provides favorable selectivity, reproducibility, and stability, and can be successfully applied for the detection of nitrite in spiked water samples. Recoveries range between 95 and 108 %.
A ratiometric electrochemical sensor for caffeic acid (CAE) detection was constructed using glassy carbon electrode modified with poly(methylene blue) and flower-like nickel-based metal organic frameworks (PMB@Ni-TPA/GCE). The electrochemical behavior of...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
