Abstract
- Here, an inkjet printed paper electrode (PPE) decorated with graphene (Gr)-silver (Ag) nanocomposite was exploited as an electrochemical sensing probe for analysis of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in environmental water samples. In this work, 4% Gr-Ag nanocomposite ink (NI) was prepared in ethanol, ethylene glycol, and glycerol in the ratio of 50:45:5, which possess surface tension and viscosity of 36 mN m−1 and 11 mPa s, respectively. The office inkjet printer was employed to print formulated Gr-Ag NI on digital photo paper, followed by sintered at 200 °C for 30 min to make effective conducting tracks for the sensing of 4-NP. Gr-Ag NI-based PPE was used as a working electrode in cyclic voltammetry. The working principle of detection is based on the electrocatalytic reduction process of 4-NP on the electrode surface. A good linearity range of 3.125–100 μM was observed, achieving a detection limit of 2.7 μM to measure 4-NP. Thus, the developed PPE holds considerable potential and offers an economical, biodegradable, and user-friendly sensor for future applications in the monitoring of 4-NP in environmental water samples. [Display omitted] • Printed paper electrode (PPE) with graphene (Gr)-silver (Ag) was used as electrochemical sensing for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). • Inkjet printer was employed to print formulated Gr-Ag NI on photo paper and sintered at 200 °C for 30 min to make electrode. • Gr-Ag/PPE was used as a working electrode in cyclic voltammetry for 4-NP determination. • Gr-Ag/PPE provides a low cost, decomposable, and user-friendly sensor for monitoring of 4-NP in environmental water sample.
