Abstract

This study demonstrates the use of disposed liquid crystal display (LCD) glass as a supporting matrix for the fabrication of a binder/linker free thin film graphene electrode. Graphene oxide (GO) was drop casted onto the LCD matrix and electrochemically reduced to form an ErGO–LCD electrode which was subsequently employed for the electro-Fenton oxidation of ciprofloxacin. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirms the presence of (i) functional groups such as C═O, N–H, C≡N, and C–N on the LCD matrix, (ii) attachment of GO onto the LCD, and (iii) reduction of oxygen functionalities at the surface of the ErGO–LCD electrode. Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were performed to examine the nature and chemical composition of the GO–LCD and ErGO–LCD electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic studies revealed the enhancement of the oxidation–reduction properties and reduction of charge transfer resistance (Rct 17 Ω) in the presence of [Fe(CN)6]3–/4– redox species.
