The effects of the background ultraviolet absorbing reagents, detection wavelength, ion-pair reagents, organic solvents and column temperature on the determination method were investigated and the retention rules discussed. Results found that TEA could be successfully analyzed by using 0.7 mmol/L 4-aminophenol hydrochloride and 0.15 mmol/L 1-heptanesulfonic acid sodium mixed with 20% (v/v) methanol as mobile phase at a UV detection wavelength of 230 nm. Under these conditions, the retention time of tetraethyl ammonium was 2.85 min. The detection limit (S/N = 3) for TEA was 0.06 mg/L. The relative standard deviations (n = 5) for peak area and retention time were 0.35% and 0.02%, respectively. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of synthesized tetraethyl ammonium bromide. Recovery of tetraethyl ammonium after spiking was 99.1%.展开更多

The optical, morphological, and structural properties of NiO.CNT NCs were characterized using Fourier transformed infra-red (FT-IR), Ultra-violet visible (UV/Vis) spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray energy dispersed spectroscopy (XEDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. Selective 4-aminophenol (4-AP) chemical sensor was developed by a fiat glassy carbon electrode (GCE, surface area: 0.0316 cm2) fabricated with a thin-layer of NCs. Electrochemical responses including higher sensitivity, large dynamic range (LDR), limit of detection (LOD), and long-term stability towards 4-AP were obtained using the fabricated chemical sensors. The calibration curve was found linear (R2 = 0.914) over a wide range of 4-AP concentration (0.1 nmol/L-0.1 tool/L). In perspective of slope (2 x 10.5 gA/gM), LOD and sensitivity were calculated as 15.0 + 0.1 pM and -6.33 - 10.4 gA/(gM.cm) respectively. The synthesized NiO.CNT NCs using a wet-chemical method is a significant route for the development of ultrasensitive and selective phenolic sensor based on nano-materials for environmental toxic substances. It is suggested that a pioneer and selective development of 4-AP sensitive sensor using Ni0.CNT NCs by a facile and reliable current us voltage (I-V) method for the major application of toxic agents in biological, green environmental, and health-care fields in near future.展开更多
