Article Abstract
In this paper we report a method for the determination of 4-aminophenol (4-AP) in solution using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor. 4-AP reacts with (para-unsubstituted) phenols to form hydrophobic indophenol dye species that precipitate out and adsorb to the surface of the crystal to produce a shift in the crystal resonant frequency. This frequency change, due to in-situ indophenol mass adsorption, can be related to the initial 4-AP concentration. A range of phenols (namely o-cresol, 1-naphthol, resorcinol, catechol and 8-hydroxyquinoline) and their reaction with 4-AP were tested. Ammonium persulfate (APS) and potassium periodate were used as initiators to improve the speed of the reaction and the rate of formation of the precipitate. APS elicited improved signal in terms of response times and frequency shifts compared with KIO4. Of the phenols studied, resorcinol gave the best response time of 6 min for 4-AP determination. The reaction of resorcinol with 4-AP gave extended response times and signal size with decreasing concentration of 4-AP (in the range 2-5 mM).

An electrochemical sensor based on MXene/PANI/SnO nanomaterials was developed for the detection of 4-aminophenol (4-AP). In situ oxidative growth of PANI on the MXene surface effectively hindered the stacking of the lamellae and increased the specific surface area of the composites. Further complexation of tin dioxide with swelling properties of the structure provided adsorption and catalytic sites for 4-AP.

The stabilization of metal nanoparticles is a key factor in various applications, but its wide use requires the development of effective and advanced materials. For the first time, this work demonstrates that in situ self-assembly of copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) nanoparticles (NPs) via chitosan (Ct) allowed the formation of a new matrix Cu-Ct-Ni. The obtained Cu-Ct-Ni matrix was fully characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-vis.

Biofouling is the most challenging problem associated with membrane-based filtration technology. Biofouling deteriorates membranes used in filtration process and decreases the efficiency of membrane productivity used in separation fields, thus increasing the technology cost of membrane-based filtration process. Several approaches exist to control biofouling; membrane surface modification has recently been used to resist bacterial attachment and biofilm formation.

An anion exchange-assisted technique was used for the synthesis of platinum-decorated SnO supports, providing nanocatalysts with enhanced activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP). In this study, a series of SnO supports, namely SnA (synthesized almost at room temperature), SnB (hydrothermally treated at 180 °C), and SnC (annealed at 600 °C), are systematically investigated, all loaded with 1 mol% Pt from HPtCl under identical mild conditions. The chloride ions from the SnCl precursors were efficiently removed via a strong-base anion exchange reaction, resulting in highly dispersed, crystalline ~5 nm cassiterite SnO particles.

The catalytic reduction of hazardous nitrophenols into multi-uses aminophenols is an important research area. To this end, a novel heterogeneous and sustainable bimetallic nanocatalyst (GO-CNF-PSB@Pd(II)/Ag) was developed by anchoring Pd(II) ions and AgNPs onto a newly designed support material (GO-CNF-PSB). This support integrates phosphonium Schiff base-modified cellulose nanofibers with graphene oxide.
