3D-printed nanocarbon sensors for the detection of chlorophenols and nitrophenols: Towards environmental applications of additive manufacturing

3D printing is a manufacturing technique used to prototype devices with customized shapes composed of different materials, including carbon composites. Toxic phenolic compounds are major environmental hazard. Herein, we demonstrate the use carbon-based 3D-printed electrodes for detection chlorophenols and nitrophenols. The influence pH on voltammetric response was studied, an alkaline identified as best environment substituted phenols. Simultaneous performed using differential pulse voltammetry. This approach appears promising fabrication electrochemical sensors.
