“…Based on the above description, it is important to develop simple and reliable method for determination of trace amounts of 4-NP in environments 1,2 . Up to now, various techniques have been investigated to determine 4-NP, such as spectrophotometry, fluorescence, high-performance liquid chromatography 3 , liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection, capillary zone electrophoresis 4 , fiber optode 5 and electrochemical method 6 . Among them, electrochemical methods have received considerable attention because of the advantage of fast response, cheap instrument, low cost, simple operation, timesaving, high sensitivity and selectivity, real-time detection in in-situ condition.…”
