A Study of Electrocatalytic and Photocatalytic Activity of Cerium Molybdate Nanocubes Decorated Graphene Oxide for the Sensing and Degradation of Antibiotic Drug Chloramphenicol.
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces 2017 Februrary 23
In this present work, "killing two birds with one stone" strategy was performed for the electrochemical trace level detection and photocatalytic degradation of antibiotic drug chloramphenicol (CAP) using Ce(MoO4 )2 nanocubes/graphene oxide (CeM/GO) composite for the first time. The CeM/GO composite was synthesized via simple hydrothermal treatment followed by sonication process. The successful formation of CeM/GO composite was confirmed by several analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The CeM/GO composite modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) showed excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the reduction of CAP in terms of decrease the potential and increase the cathodic peak current in comparison with different modified and unmodified electrodes. The electrocatalytic reduction of CAP based on the CeM/GO modified GCE exhibited high selectivity, wide linear ranges, lower detection limit, and good sensitivity of 0.012-20 and 26-272 μM, 2 nM ,and 1.8085 μA μM-1 cm-2 , respectively. Besides, when CeM/GO/GCE was used to analyze the CAP in real samples, such as honey and milk, the satisfactory recovery results were obtained. On the other hand, the CeM/GO composite played excellent catalyst toward the photodegradation of CAP. The obtained results from the UV-vis spectroscopy clearly suggested that CeM/GO composite had high photocatalytic activity compared to pristine Ce(MoO4)2 nanocubes. The degradation efficiency of CeM/GO toward CAP is observed about 99% within 50 min under visible irradiation and it shows a good stability by observing the reusability of the catalyst. The enhanced photocatalytic performance was attributed to the increased migration efficiency of photoinduced electrons and holes.
