Electrochemical performance of carbon paste electrode modified TiO₂/Ag-Li (CPE-TiO₂/Ag-Li) in determining fipronil compound

Abstract

Electrochemical studies in detecting persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have attracted a lot of interest from researchers, especially the carbon paste electrode (CPE). The research objectives were to determine the electrochemical characteristics of TiO2/Ag-Li on the CPE in the system Fe2+/Fe3+ and determine the fipronil in solution. TiO2/Ag-Li preparation was carried out by using the sol-gel method. Electrochemical performance of CPE was applied by cyclic voltammetry. The system developed was a reversible redox reaction and have peaks Ipa 110 µA and Ipc 105 µA. We also found that the composition of the best modifier addition to CPE was using TiO2/Ag-Li with a mass of 0.005 g. The optimum scan rate for the measurement of the fipronil test solution was obtained at 0.2 V/s with an Ipa value of 15 µA and an Epa value of 0.40 V. Based on the plot between the root scan rate and the oxidation current of the solution containing fipronil, the obtained R2 value was 0.9806. This research provides the development of modifier CPE material with the well electrochemically performance and considered as a very effective monitored system for the environment contaminated by POPs waste.

Electrodetermination of Gallic Acid Using Multi‐walled Carbon Nanotube Paste Electrodes and N‐Octylpyridinium Hexafluorophosphate

“…There are also other electroanalytical techniques that include screen-printed electrodes as quick and inexpensive methods of detection and quantification [31]. However, an interesting alternative in the efficient detection and quantification of various electroanalytes is the use of paste electrodes, especially using renewable surface electrodes [32][33][34], which allow faster and more environmentally friendly studies since they are not disposable compared to the screen-printed electrodes just mentioned.…”

Enhanced Adsorption and Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue Using S-TiO 2 Composites Pillared Clay under Visible Light

“…In addition, many other studies have been reported on the removal of organic pollutants using TiO 2 photocatalysts, including rhodamine B [25], reactive orange [26], reactive red [27], methylene orange [28], congo red [29], etc. However, for a wide range of applications, the performance of TiO 2 is very limited due to the wide band gap energy (about 3.2 eV), which inhibits the photodegradation process [30][31][32][33]. To overcome this limitation, we modi ed it by adding dopants to reduce the band gap energy and increase the a nity for organic compounds.…”
