Direct Electrochemical Analysis of 3-Methyl-4-Nitrophenol in Water Using Carbon Fiber Microelectrode Modified with Nickel Tetrasulfonated Phthalocyanine Complex
Yibor Fabrice Roland Bako, Boukaré Kaboré, Amidou Tall, Wendepoui Félix Sawadogo, Issa Tapsoba
This study reports a tetrasulfonated nickel phthalocyanine complex (p-NiTSPc) modified carbon fiber microelectrode (CFME) for the detection of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (MNP) at low potentials. The voltammogram of MNP showed a cathodic peak at −0.86 V vs Ag/AgCl corresponding to the reduction of the nitro group. An electrocatalytic activity towar(...)
