- Description: Ph.D. (Chemistry) , In this study, carbon based electrode materials such as glassy carbon, graphene, diamond and exfoliated graphite were explored as suitable electrode materials for electrochemical detection, electrochemical and photoelectrochemical degradation of organic water pollutants. Graphene modified glassy carbon electrode sensor was developed for bisphenol A. Cyclic voltammetry was used to study the electrochemical properties of the prepared graphene- modified glassy carbon electrode using potassium ferricyanide as a redox probe. The prepared graphene- modified glassy carbon electrode exhibited more facile electron kinetics and enhanced current of about 75% when compared to the unmodified glassy carbon electrode...
