“…In addition, ZnO has an excellent isoelectric point (IPE) about ∼9.5 and to be conductive by decoration/doping into 2D-B-GCN. Furthermore, the appropriate modifications of ZnO structures such as nanoplatelet, nanowires, , nanoarrays, nanoparticles, flowers, and nanowalls , with an active surface area also provided us more choices for particular application . From now, ZnO has gained much attention as one of the utmost promising nanomaterials for the third generation of electrochemical sensors.…”

One of the most important organic molecules is metol [4-(methylamino)phenol sulfate], which finds extensive usage in various applications as a monochromatic material. People, plants, and animals are all affected by it, and it raises serious environmental concerns. Developing a straightforward, quick, affordable, sensitive, and hands-on technique for metol determination in water bodies is of the utmost importance in the current scenario. A low-cost fabrication strategy is presented in this work for the synthesis of a zinc oxide nanoplatelet (ZnO) embedded into boron-doped carbon nitride nanosheet materials (ZnO/2D-BCN) utilizing a high-performance electrochemical sensor. The quantitative and qualitative information about the nanostructure of ZnO/2D-BCN were systematically analyzed further by using standard spectroscopic techniques such as XPS, XRD, FT-IR, EDAX, and Raman spectroscopy. 2D-nonstructural was observed to have a nanoplatelet/nanosheet through FE-SEM and TEM. Furthermore, electrochemical sensors’ performance was analyzed by using cyclic and differential pulsed voltammetry techniques. The fabricated ZnO/2D-BCN has peculiar intrinsic structural features, both connectivity and characteristic synergistic effect of B-dopants 2D-structure, which perturb mass transport with highly efficient electrochemical pathways. In addition, the electrochemical sensors of metol and its electrocatalytic mechanism were scrutinized further, which confirmed a fast electron transfer event. The as-prepared ZnO/2D-BCN exposed superior sensing conclusion through LOD (8.6 nM) in a wide-ranging linear 0.039–1617 (μM) as well as a remarkable sensitivity of 0.804 μA μM–1 cm–2. Additionally, other sensing parameters such as remarkable repeatability, electrodes’ reproducibility, materials’ stability, and a remarkable selectivity toward metol have been performed. Furthermore, the practical feasibility of as-made ZnO/2D-BCN/GCE has been inspected with biological and environment samples such as blood serum, human urine, river, pond, industry, and tap samples as a real sample, revealing excellent rational recovery outcomes.

“…The synthesis method employed is hydrothermal and precipitation; not only is this method simple and characterized by low energy consumption, but it also operates at relatively mild temperature and pressure conditions during the synthesis process. Additionally, the hydrothermal method offers the advantage of producing ZnO NP powder with a high level of crystallinity at low temperatures [18,[36][37][38], significantly expediting synthesis kinetics [19]. In this research, the mass of NaOH will be varied.…”

In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were synthesized from zinc nitrate hexahydrate precursor and mango leaf extract (MLE). The purpose of this research was to investigate the crystal structure and optical properties exhibited by ZnO NPs for photocatalytic applications. ZnO NPs produced from various concentrations of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and the addition of MLE during the synthesis stage demonstrated intriguing physical structure and optical properties. XRD characterization results revealed the attainment of a pure ZnO phase with a high crystallinity degree in all samples. Biosynthesis with MLE unveiled minor peaks corresponding to the cellulose phase. The achieved crystallite size ranged from 15–28 nm. The FTIR patterns detected in the wavenumber range of 600–4000 cm−1 indicated successful crystallization of all ZnO NPs samples. The band gap energy for each sample (ZnO-A to ZnO-E) is indicated to be in the range of 3.25, 3.25, 3.26, 3.31, and 3.17 eV, as demonstrated by the Tauc relation. The effect of MB degradation by the ZnO-E photocatalyst is revealed by the photodegradation of 96.46%.
