TL;DR: In this paper, a cobalt oxide/tin oxide composite was prepared by a facile co-precipitation method and employed for the voltammetric determination of ornidazole (ODZ).
Abstract: Simple chemical synthesis is highly efficient to develop metal oxide composites as active electrode materials for an electrochemical sensor displaying enhanced catalytic sites, fast kinetics, and easy accessibility to target molecules. In this work, a cobalt oxide/tin oxide (Co3O4/SnO2) composite was prepared by a facile co-precipitation method and employed for the voltammetric determination of ornidazole (ODZ). The structural and morphological properties of the as-synthesized materials were studied through XRD, FT-IR, BET, FE-SEM, TEM, and XPS analyses. The electrochemical activity was investigated using cyclic voltammetric (CV) and linear sweep voltammetric (LSV) techniques. The electrochemical signal shows that the modified glassy carbon electrode (Co3O4/SnO2/GCE) revealed superior sensing ability in rapid ODZ detection compared to a single component of Co3O4 or SnO2. The performance was investigated over a wide linear range of 0.2 to 1185.8 μM with a low detection limit of 0.059 μM for ODZ, respectively, at a low-cost Co3O4/SnO2 modified electrode. Good selectivity was observed in the presence of NFT, 2-NA, and Cd2+ by the ODZ sensor. Furthermore, the excellent stability, repeatability, and reproducibility suggest that the constructed electrode based on Co3O4/SnO2/GCE is promising for real-time application in water samples.

Abstract: State-of-the-art electrochemical applications have recently employed various activated carbons combined with transition metal oxides as electrode materials, which exhibit superior conductivity and tailored porosity to offer rapid electron transfer. In this study, Bauhinia vahlii dead fruit-derived carbon (BVFC) integrated with cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles was used to detect 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). The Co3O4@BVFC composite was characterized using various spectral and analytical techniques, including XRD, Raman, BET, TGA, FE-SEM, TEM and XPS. Under optimum experimental conditions, the Co3O4@BVFC-modified GCE revealed a wide linear range (0.01–140 μM), a low detection limit (5 nM), and high sensitivity (18.236 μA μM−1 cm−2) towards 4-NP detection with considerable selectivity. The excellent sensing ability of the composite was mainly due to the higher surface area and the synergistic effect between Co3O4 and BVFC. Furthermore, the Co3O4@BVFC-modified GCE applied in the real-time analysis of 4-NP in water bodies showed satisfactory recovery results (±96.50–98.60%). Results show that Co3O4@BVFC is a good candidate for 4-NP detection.

TL;DR: In this article, a Z-scheme heterojunction Co3O4/TiO2 photocatalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of enrofloxacin was proposed.
Abstract: The development of stable, efficient photocatalyst for environmental antibiotics degradation is great significant and remains a major challenge. Herein, zero dimensional Co3O4 nanodots are grown in situ onto two dimensional TiO2 nanosheets, successfully producing a Z-scheme heterojunction Co3O4/TiO2 photocatalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of enrofloxacin. The synthesized nanohybrid exhibits superior photodegradation performance (0.0269 min−1 for enrofloxacin) and excellent stability (four cycles). The matched energy bands allow the formation of the Z-scheme heterojunction, and the built-in electric field provides the reaction driving force. The formed Z-scheme heterojunction can simultaneously inhibit photoinduced electron-hole recombination, boost photoinduced charge carrier transfer, and produce more active electrons and holes, therefore generating more active species for eventual photocatalytic degradation. In addition, a the possible enrofloxacin degradation pathway was proposed based on simulated calculations and GC MS analysis. This work can inspire further design and construction of Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts.
