“…In recent years, one issue that has generated signicant concern due to its adverse effects, mainly on human health, is the contamination of water (surface and groundwater), including the ocean. [1][2][3] The principal cause of this event is the high amounts of toxic and refractory pollutants, mainly 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), 1,[4][5][6] which is widely used in the pharmaceutical and textile industries 7,8 for the production of herbicides, insecticides, synthetic dyes, and paints, and as a corrosion inhibitor and pH indicator, among other applications. 4,9,10 Therefore, the reduction of 4-NP to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) has become a crucial issue, given that 4-AP is a compound with a lower degree of toxicity.…”
