Designing Hybrid Lanthanum Stannate/Functionalized Halloysite Nanotubes as Electrode Material for Electrochemical Detection of 4-(Methylamino)phenol (Metol) in Environmental Samples

Abstract

Electrochemical applications such as electrical conductivity, sensitivity, selectivity, cost-effectiveness, and sampling techniques of different forms of pyrochlore oxide have been a field of current interest. In this regard, pyrochlore structured lanthanum stannate nanoparticles (LSO) decorated with functionalized halloysite nanotubes (f-HNT) were prepared via hydrothermal followed by sonochemical synthesis. The obtained samples were characterized through various spectroscopic and microscopic methods to investigate the LSO@f-HNT structure and morphology. Electrocatalytic studies of LSO@f-HNT were performed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques. The beneficial response of LSO interacting with the hollow structured f-HNT groups of aluminol (Al−OH) and siloxane (Si−O−Si) enhances the electron transmission channel and active site size, both of which contribute to improved electrocatalytic performance. The fabricated sustainable LSO@f-HNT electrocatalyst exhibits outstanding selectivity and linear range (0.01−480 μM) with a detection limit of 2.1 nM and produces good recovery results (97.8−99.68%) under the optimized measurement conditions. This study discusses the design of the LSO@f-HNT composite and its application as an electrode material for the sensitive and focused electrochemical detection of hazardous Metol. This research demonstrates that LSO and f-HNT

“…The EIS analysis is carried out in a [Fe­(CN) 6 ] 3–/4– redox probe. Using Randle’s equivalent circuit, the EIS data is fitted with R ct , R s , Z w , and C dl , respectively, representing charge transfer resistance, solution resistance, Warburg impedance, and double-layer electron-transfer resistance . The Nyquist plots given in Figure a correlate the diameter of the semicircular arc to the electron-transfer resistance.…”

ZnO/B-g-C3N4 Nanoplatelet/Nanosheet Heterostructures for the Electrochemical Detection of Metol in Real Sample Analysis

“…Combining all of these benefits, we created ZnO to anchor on boron-doped graphitic carbon nitride (B- g -C 3 N 4 ) since the two materials have significant functional groups on their base planes that improve the nanocomposites’ electrochemical determination toward metol. Metol is one of amine and phenol moiety having monochromic organic substances [4-(methylamino)­phenol sulfate] that have a harmful effect on the purity of aquatic resources as well as human health. − …”
