Abstract:
Excessive nitrite poses potential threats to human health, making the convenient and accurate detection of nitrite anions (NO2-) critically important for practical applications. Two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted attention in the design and application of electrochemical sensors due to their unique structure. In this work, based on the 2D [Cd2(BPDC)2(1,4-bis)2]n (MOF1, 4,4'-biphenyldi-carboxylic acid = H2BPDC, 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-benzene = 1,4-bis) and acetylene black (AB), a novel electrochemical AB/MOF1/glassy carbon electrode (GCE) sensor is constructed and demonstrated for sensitive detection of NO2- in the solution. The research demonstrates that the AB/MOF1/GCE electrochemical sensor exhibits a wide linear response range (2-200 μM) and a low detection limit (5.7093 × 10-8 M), attributable to the synergistic effect of the selectivity contributed by the 2D MOF1 structure and the enhanced sensitivity provided by the AB. It demonstrated excellent selectivity, long-term stability, and reproducibility and can be successfully used for the detection of nitrite in actual samples with a recovery rate of 95.35-104.94%. This paper provides the synthetic application of electrochemical sensors and an effective detection method for carcinogen NO2- in the environment.

Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.

In a chemical reaction, a relationship exists between the concentration of reactants and the rate at which the reaction proceeds. The study to measure this relationship is known as the kinetics of a chemical reaction. Kinetic studies are used to deduce the rate law of a chemical reaction, which provides information about the species involved during the transition state of the rate-determining step. Thus, kinetic studies help to derive the mechanism of a...

The presence of the more electronegative halogen in the substrate creates a polarized carbon-halide bond. The halide pulls the electron cloud generating an electrophilic center at the carbon atom. Thus, the carbon atom carries a partial positive charge while the halide has a...
