4-Nitrophenol (4-NP), a ubiquitous organic contaminant is carcinogenic for humans and hence its accurate detection is very important. Electrochemical detection has immerged as an effective way to achieve this. In this study, a rational design is used to synthesized FeOX/ZnO@carbon nanocomposite with high conductivity and multiple oxidation states. The synthesis step involves hydrothermal synthesis of ZnFe-LDH on glucose-carbon followed by carbothermal reaction under N2. The FeOX/ZnO@carbon is duly characterized by XRD, XPS, FE-SEM/EDX and TGA. Its electrochemical performance towards 4-NP is studied by CV, EIS and DPV. Our results show that FeOX/ZnO@carbon exhibits outstanding selectivity and sensitivity towards 4-NP detection. |
