Background
4-nitrophenol (PNP) is an important intermediate raw material, and plays an important role in chemical production of pesticides, medicines and the like. However, PNPs are chemically stable and have long half-lives and are long-lived in the environment, so that since the environment is severely damaged by the large amount of PNPs used in production, EPA and EEA have listed PNPs in the list of industrial wastewater pollutants which are preferably monitored in 1980 and 2000.
At present, the conventional detection modes of PNP are gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography and surface enhanced Raman scattering, and because the instruments and equipment used in the conventional detection modes are large and expensive, the operation cost is high, potential safety hazards exist, the detection timeliness is not strong, and the online detection is difficult to realize. Although researchers have developed fluorescence, electrochemistry, electrophoresis and other detection methods, these methods also have the disadvantages of insufficient detection limit and insufficient rapid transient response, and therefore, it is necessary to develop another transient detection method with high sensitivity and low detection limit.
The photocatalytic technology is considered to be one of the most promising technologies for solving the problem of environmental pollution in the next 50 years, and reports show that the photocatalytic degradation of 4-nitrophenol has been widely researched, so that a photoelectrochemical sensor combining photocatalysis and electrocatalysis brings a new opportunity for accurate analysis of 4-nitrophenol.
