Abstract
In this work, cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-assisted polyaniline-molybdenum disulfide (CPANI-MoS2) nanosheets with a flower morphology have been synthesized through in situ polymerization and a hydrothermal method. The composite was analyzed for structural modification through X-ray diffraction (XRD) to examine chemical changes and the presence of functional groups via Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy techniques. The surface morphology was identified by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) techniques. The CPANI-MoS2 nanosheet glassy carbon electrode (GCE) offers a novel strategy for the electrochemical detection of carcinogenic hydrazine. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) curve demonstrated a quasi-reversible behaviour with a high-surface area. Furthermore, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) analysis of hydrazine detection showed a wide linear range from 10 μM to 100 μM, a low limit of detection of 0.40 μM, and a high sensitivity of 7.23 μA μM cm-2. The determination of hydrazine in a water sample and the recovery percentage were found to be 100.31% and 103.73%, respectively. The CPANI-MoS2 nanosheet GCE significantly contributed to the high electroanalytical oxidation activity due to the CTAB surfactant modifying the flower-like nanosheet morphology, which enables the easy adsorption of hydrazine analyte species and exhibits a high current rate with a rapid detection response.
