چکیده

The electrochemical reduction of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) was investigated using films of vanadium dioxide. Three distinct reduction peaks were observed in the potential range of -0.50 to -0.90 V (vs an Ag/AgCl reference electrode), corresponding to the electrochemical reduction of the three nitro-groups on the TNT molecule. Adsorptive stripping voltammetry was performed to achieve detection down to 1 μg/L (4.4 nM), revealing a linear response to TNT concentration. These results are the first describing the use of VO2 films as an electrochemical sensor and open new avenues for further electrochemical research using this unique material.

Fabrication of Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor Surface with Control of the Non-Specific Adsorption and Affinity for the Detection of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene Using an Antifouling Copolymer

We fabricated a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor using a hydrophilic polymer for the highly sensitive detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). The hydrophilic polymer was made from mono-2-(methacryloyloxy)ethylsuccinate (MES) and 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization. The detection of TNT was carried out by displacement assay with the...

Oxygen carriers based on electrochemically reduced trinitroarenes.

1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and 1-methoxy-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene undergoes reversible dimerization, after electrochemical reduction of two units of corresponding anion radical. The pi-dimer formed captures molecular oxygen (O(2)) leading to a sigma(o-o)(H)-adduct, in an atmosphere of oxygen or even air. The sigma(o-o)(H)-adduct is able to reversibly bind and remove dioxygen afte...
