“…The high hydrogen evolution can dramatically modify the pH on the electrode interface, promoting the formation mainly of azoxybenzene or aniline. Note that acid conditions are required to assure the formation of 4-AP as a result of the nucleophilic attack by water at the protonated 4-HAP [1,20,[34][35][36][37][38][39]. However, the structural elucidation of the formed by-products is out of the scope of the present study as they are formed in non-adequate working conditions for 4-NP reduction.…”

The low molecular-mass organic compound 4-nitrophenol is involved in many chemical processes and is commonly present in soils and in surface and ground waters, thereby causing severe environmental impact and health risk. Several methods have been proposed for its transformation (bio and chemical degradation). However, these strategies not only produce equally or more toxic aromatic species but also require harsh operating conditions and/or time-consuming treatments. In this context, we report a comprehensive and systematic study of the electrochemical reduction of 4-nitrophenol as a viable alternative. We have explored the electrochemical reduction of this pollutant over different metallic and carbonaceous substrata. Specifically, we have focused on the use of gold and silver working electrodes since they combine a high electrocatalytic activity for 4-nitrophenol reduction and a low electrocatalytic capacity for hydrogen evolution. The influence of the pH, temperature, and applied potential have also been considered as crucial parameters in the overall optimization of the process. While acidic media and high temperatures favor the clean reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol, the simultaneous hydrogen evolution is pernicious for this purpose. Herein, a simple and effective electrochemical method for the transformation of 4-nitrophenol into 4-aminophenol is proposed with virtually no undesired by-products.

In this work, a new method for the simultaneous determination of tryptophan (Trp) and tyrosine (Tyr) in milk has been reported. Trp and Tyr are essential amino acids in human nutrition, but their electrochemical signal overlapped. For solve this problem, we developed modified Screen Printed Carbon Electrode (SPCE) with Graphene Oxide-COOH/Chitosan (GO-COOH/Chitosan) electro-deposition. The morphology and electrochemical performance of modified electrode were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, FT-IR, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemical simultaneous determination of Trp and Tyr has been investigated by using differential pulse voltammetry. The carboxylic acid functionalized GO modified SPCE was utilized to catalyze the oxidation of Trp and Tyr. Compared with SPCE/GO/Chitosan and SPCE/Chitosan sensor, the new sensor has enhanced sensitivity, low detection limit and high selectivity. In addition, the SPCE/GO-COOH-Chitosan sensor enhanced separation of the oxidation peak of Tyr and Trp and showed a remarkable increase in peak current for electroactive compounds, thus, it can be used for simultaneous voltammetric determination. Under the optimized experimental conditions, a linear correlation between oxidation peak current and concentration of Tyr and Trp in the ranges 0.1-60 µM and 0.4-40 µM with a detection limit of 0.05 µM (S/N = 3) and 0.1 µM (S/N = 3) were achieved, respectively. Finally, the proposed electrochemical sensor was applied for quantification of Tyr and Trp in milk samples, where standard solutions were spiked to the milk samples and recoveries were obtained.
