Article Abstract
Effectively detecting catechol (CC) and hydroquinone (HQ) simultaneously is crucial for environmental protection and human health monitoring. In the study presented herein, a novel electrochemical sensor for the sensitive simultaneous detection of CC and HQ was constructed based on an electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO)-modified multi-walled carbon nanotube paste electrode (MWCNTPE). Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques were utilized to characterize the sensing interface and investigate the sensing mechanism. Under the optimal detection conditions, the oxidation peak currents of CC and HQ show a good linear relationship with their concentrations in the range of 0.4-400 μM with a detection limit of 0.083 μM for CC and 0.028 μM for HQ (S/N = 3). Moreover, the sensor exhibits good performance and can be applied successfully in the simultaneous detection of CC and HQ in tap water samples and urine samples with satisfactory results, indicating its promising application prospects.

Laccases, belonging to the superfamily of multicopper oxidases, can perform electron oxidation on a broad range of substrates, releasing only water as a by-product. Although instability and aggregation significantly constrain the industrial use of these eco-friendly biocatalysts, it is a daunting challenge for current engineering strategies to elevate these crucial enzymatic characteristics simultaneously. Here, we developed a cyclizing laccase (CyLacc) using SpyTag/SpyCatcher technology, which endows the enzyme with high thermostability and high solubility.

Hydroquinone (HQ), catechol (CC), and resorcinol (RS), as toxic and hardly degradable dihydroxybenzene isomers, pose threats to the environment and human health. In this study, using multi - walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and ZIF-8 as precursors, a necklace-like N-doped carbon polyhedron/carbon nanotube composite loaded with Cu nanoparticle (Cu NPs/NC@MWCNTs) electrocatalyst was prepared by hydrothermal and high-temperature carbonization processes. Comprehensive characterization data from XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, BET, and Raman spectroscopy confirmed that the unique necklace-like porous structure and synergistic effect between ZIF-derived N-doped carbon polyhedra and MWCNTs regulate the electronic structure and surface properties of the catalyst, thereby accelerating the electron transfer rate.

To prevent phenolic compounds from threatening ecological environment safety and human health, the development of rapid and sensitive methods is vital. Herein, a novel Ketjen black (KB) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)- multifunctionalized metal-organic framework nanocomposite (ZIF-67/KB-MWCNTs) was synthesized, which was used for the modification of bare electrode (GCE), achieving simultaneous and ultrasensitive detection of hydroquinone (HQ), catechol (CC), and resorcinol (RS) in environmental water. The proposed electrochemical sensor (ECS) was constructed based on the synergistic effect of ZIF-67 with an ultra-large specific area and KB-MWCNTs with 3D chain structure and high conductivity resulted in both high electrocatalysis and fast electron transfer.

Hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC) pose significant risks to human health and the environment due to their toxicity and widespread contamination. However, their structural similarity (ortho- vs para-hydroxylation) often causes interferences during detection, necessitating the development of electrochemical sensors capable of simultaneous discrimination.

Background: Antioxidants can prevent oxidative stress-induced aging and diseases, and many antioxidant screening tests have been conducted in the pharmaceutical and food industries. However, the potencies of antioxidants calculated using standard evaluation methods are thermodynamic values at best and ignore the kinetic aspects of their reactions. In this study, 56 compounds with four basic structures (phenol, methoxyphenol, hydroquinone and catechol) were prepared for Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assay and reaction tracking over time.
