Electrochemical Reduction and Detection of Nitrobenzene Based on Porphyrin Composite-modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

An electrocatalytic platform and electrochemical sensor for nitrobenzene using tetra(4-methoxyphenyl) porphyrin-functionalized N-doped ordered mesoporous carbon (TMPP/N-OMC) as sensitive material is reported. Glassy carbon electrodes modified with TMPP/N-OMC were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The electrode shows high electrocatalytic activity towards the reduction of nitrobenzene in sodium chloride solution (pH 7.00). Electrocatalytic reduction currents of nitrobenzene were found to be linearly related to concentration over the range 0.528 to 132.00 μM with a correlation coefficient of 0.9971 using a differential pulse voltammogram method. The detection limits were determined as 0.2162 μM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The results show TMPP/N-OMC-modified glassy carbon electrodes open new opportunities for fast, simple, and sensitive field analysis of nitrobenzene.

Food quality control is a mandatory task in the food industry and relies on the availability of simple, cost-effective and stable sensing platforms. In the present work, the applicability of bare glassy carbon electrodes for routine analysis of food samples was evaluated as a valid alternative to chromatographic techniques, using caffeine as test analyte. A number of experimental parameters were optimized and a differential pulse voltammetry was applied for quantification experiments. The detection limit was found to be 2 × 10 −5 M (3σ criterion) and repeatability was evaluated by the relative standard deviation of 4.5%. The influence of sugars, and compounds structurally related to caffeine on the current response of caffeine was evaluated and found to have no significant influence on the electrode performance. The suitability of bare carbon electrodes for routine analysis was successfully demonstrated by quantifying caffeine content in seven commercially available drinks and the results were validated using a standard ultra-high performance liquid chromatography method. This work demonstrates that bare glassy carbon electrodes are a simple, reliable and cost-effective platform for rapid analysis of targets such as caffeine in commercial products and they represent therefore a competitive alternative to the existing analytical methodologies for routine food analysis.
