Traditional Cu-based electrodes, widely utilized for COD sensors suffer from issues related to low activity and stability. This study introduced a novel approach by employing a copper foam-supported metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOF), synthesized through a solvothermal method, which is subsequently pyrolyzed to yield a carbon-capsulated CuO<sub>x</sub>/Cu foam electrode. Cyclic voltammetry analysis demonstrated that the carbon-capsulated CuO<sub>x</sub>/Cu foam electrode exhibited superior redox activity, notably generating an increased amount of Cu(III) species. This enhancement significantly contributed to the electrocatalytic oxidation of organic compounds. The developed electrode demonstrated a wide linear detection range of 5–600 ppm, with a low detection limit of 0.96 ppm (S/N=3) for COD sensing. Notably, the sensor exhibited excellent anti-interference capabilities, desirable reproducibility, and stability. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine COD in real water samples. Comparative analysis with the standard potassium dichromate method revealed high accuracy and a low relative error (2.89 %–6.72 %).

Phthalic acid and acetic acid caused a new cathodic peak at more positive potential during the reduction of 1,4-benzoquinone in acetonitrile or aqueous solution. The new peaks are attributed to the drastic increase in pH at the electrode surface caused by the consumption of protons in the benzoquinone reduction reaction. The peak current of the new cathodic peak was dependent on the concentration of phthalic acid and acetic acid but independent of BQ, phthalic anhydride, and ethyl acetate.

The voltammetric properties of paracetamol were studied, compared and discussed on unmodified BDDE, CNB/BDDE, CNF/BDDE, CNT/BDDE, CNB@CNF/BDDE, CNF@CNT/BDDE and CNF@CNB@CNT/BDDE. An increase in peak response (Ip) and a dramatic decrease in peak separation (ΔEp) were observed at electrodes in an order from bare BDDE to CNB/BDDE, CNF/BDDE, CNT/BDDE, CNB@CNF/BDDE, CNF@CNT/BDDE and CNF@CNB@CNT/BDDE.

However, it is challenging as the performance of catalysts is typically evaluated with ensembles, providing an elusive averaged response of complex catalyst-modified electrodes. Herein, a single-nanoparticle electrochemical collision (SNEC)-based method was employed to characterize the electrocatalysis of citrate-capped Au NPs with six different particle sizes, and investigate the size-dependent electrocatalytic activity of Au NPs toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the single-particle level. Results showed that the geometric activity of Au NPs showed a decreasing trend as the size increased from 5 nm to 40 nm, consisting with the linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) data that the onset potentials and potentials to reaching at HER currents of 50 μA cm<sup>−2</sup> shifted negatively as the size of Au NPs increased. Also noteworthy is that the measured geometric activity of single Au NP toward HER was 5~6 orders of magnitude higher than the ensemble data derived from the LSV tests. The extraordinary enhancement of catalytic activity is believed to originate from the high accessible surface area of monodispersed Au NPs. Hence, the proposed SNEC-based method could investigate the intrinsic electrocatalytic activity of NPs in solution at the single-particle level, and achieve true size-activity correlation, which may provide effective guidance for the rational design of advanced electrocatalysts.</p>","PeriodicalId":162,"journal":{"name":"Electroanalysis","volume":"36 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138955791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
