Methanol content in adulterated alcoholic beverages and gasoline recently has emerged as a common issue in many developing countries. Here we aimed to fabricate a novel sensitive and selective methanol sensor based on NiOOH/PANI-Gr and NiOOH/ PANI-CNTs interfaces. The results revealed that both sensing interfaces exhibited noteworthy electrocatalytic performance, high reproducibility towards methanol oxidation with a wide linear range of 0.5-500 mM, and a low detection limit of 0.290 mM. The fabricated interfaces were also highly selective towards methanol oxidation without any interferent signal from other alcohols, indicating the auspicious methanol sensors for the field-tests in controlling adulterated products (alcohol beverages and gasoline).
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.
