“…Hydroquinone is employed extensively in coal tar production, dye synthesis, paper industry, photographic developer, cosmetics, drugs, and so on [21]. Due to the low degradation rate in the ecological environment, HQ exists in daily necessities for a long time, affecting people's health.…”
A facile step-by-step approach for synthesizing copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) loaded on the wrinkled surface of reduced-graphene-oxide (Cu/rGO) was conducted using a reductant at room temperature. Multiple characterization methods were applied to specify the morphology and composition of the nanocomposites. The scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope of Cu/rGO show that spherical CuNps were dispersed uniformly on the surface of rGO. In addition, the characteristic peaks of Cu and carbon in energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses spectra proved that Cu/rGO nanocomposites were synthesized. Soon afterwards, a new hydroquinone electrochemical sensor was prepared with Cu/rGO and a glassy carbon electrode. The sensor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Hydroquinone was detected by differential pulse voltammetry using the composite electrode. Under the optimal condition, the linear response range was from 0.05 μM to 90 μM; the detection limit is 0.02 μM (S/N = 3) for hydroquinone. The electrochemical sensor exhibited high sensitivity in practical environmental water sample detection.
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.
