Abstract

Nanoscale materials are of significant interest and excellent electrocatalysts for feasible and rapid electrochemical sensing of toxic nitro compounds and are a crucial need for human health and safety applications. This work designed a sphere-like MoS2 nanosheet array decorated on reduced graphene oxide (MoS2 NSAs/rGO) by a simple hydrothermal method for accurate electrochemical detection of nitrobenzene (NB) in water samples. The physicochemical characterizations are well characterized and confirm the successful MoS2 NSAs/rGO formation. Further, the MoS2 NSAs/rGO modified GCE investigated for NB determination using the voltammetry technique, which shows a wide linear range of 0.005–849.505 µM with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0072 µM and excellent sensitivity of 1.8985 µA µM−1 cm−2. Moreover, the developed sensor exhibited good cycle stability (80.35%), selectivity, repeatability, and reproducibility. Finally, the real-sample analysis for the developed sensor accomplished in tap and river water samples with appreciable recoveries thus provides an effective platform for trace level detection of hazardous NB determination in environmental samples.
