The multi-walled carbon nanotubes decorated with Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles (Co 3 O 4 /MWCNTs) were successfully prepared by the hydrothermal method . A facile and practical electrochemical sensor based on Co 3 O 4 /MWCNTs was established for simultaneous detection of hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC) by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The defined and separated oxidation peaks of a mixture of HQ and CC were obtained at pH 8.0, owing to the catalytic stability of Co 3 O 4 in alkaline conditions as well as the high conductivity and excellent adsorption of MWCNTs. The proposed sensor exhibited the wide linear range from 10 to 800 μM (HQ) and 10–700 μM (CC), as well as the low detection limit of 5.6 μM (HQ) and 8.5 μM (CC). Meaningfully, in local seawater sample testing, the explored sensing platform achieved an excellent recovery for the simultaneous detection of CC (97.5–104.2%) and HQ (96.4–109.1%). According to the investigation, this is the first successful application of HQ and CC in direct seawater detection. This work demonstrated the Co 3 O 4 /MWCNTs nanocomposite was a promising material for electro-catalysis and electro-analyst in the marine environment.

Nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide (N-RGO) was prepared by a facile one-step procedure with ammonium hydroxide as the doping regent and hydrazine hydrate as the reducing regent. The obtained N-RGO was characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The characterized results validated the successful nitrogen doping of 1.8 at% and the reducing of graphene oxide to RGO. N-RGO modified glassy carbon electrode (N-RGO/GC) was explored for the simultaneous determination of hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC) using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The potential separation of the oxidation peaks between HQ and CC were up to 110 mV, which is enough to electrochemical distinguish the dihycroxybenzene isomers. Under the optimal conditions, the oxidation peak currents of HQ and CC linearly increased with the concentrations in the ranges from 5 to 693 and 5 to 492 μmol/L, respectively. The detection limits are 0.1 μmol/L for HQ and 0.5 μmol/L for CC. When simultaneously changing the concentration of the two isomers, the linear range was from 15 to 330 μmol/L for both HQ and CC. The relative standard deviations (n=20) are 3.45% for HQ and 3.82 % for CC.

In this paper, a simple and sensitive photoluminescence method is developed for the hydroquinone quantitation by using graphene quantum dots which simultaneously serve as a peroxidase-mimicking catalyst and a photoluminescence indicator. In the presence of dissolved oxygen, graphene quantum dots with intrinsic peroxidase-mimicking catalytic activity can catalyze the oxidation of hydroquinone to produce p- benzoquinone , an intermediate, which can efficiently quench graphene quantum dots' photoluminescence. Based on this effect, a novel fluorescent platform is proposed for the sensing of hydroquinone, and the detection limit of 5 nM is found.

Magnetic hydroxyethyl cellulose/ionic liquid (MHEC/IL) materials were fabricated through a facile and fast process and their application as excellent adsorbents for hydroquinone was also demonstrated. The thermal stability, chemical structure and magnetic property of the MHEC/IL were characterized by the Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The adsorbents were used for the removal of hydroquinone from simulated wastewater with a fast solid–liquid separation in the presence of external magnetic field. The influence of various analytical parameters on the adsorption of hydroquinone such as pH, contact time and initial ion concentration were studied in detail. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity was 335.68 mg g −1 , observed at pH 5 and temperature 30 °C. Equilibrium adsorption was achieved within 30 min. The kinetic data, obtained at the optimum pH 5, could be fitted with a pseudo-second order equation. Adsorption process could be well described by Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The obtained results indicated that the impregnation of the room temperature IL significantly enhances the removal efficiency of hydroquinone. The MHEC/IL may be suitable materials in phenols pollution cleanup if they are synthesized in largescale and at low price in near future.

Metal organic framework (MOF), as an emerging type of porous materials, has attracted great interest in numerous fields. In this study, combining the advantages of MOF derived carbon and reduce graphite oxide (rGO), two types of MOF derived carbon modified reduced graphite oxide (ZIF-8C@rGO) were developed. When applied as electrode modifier in an electrochemical determination of hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC), the obtained ZIF-8C@rGO exhibits remarkably improved selectivity and sensitivity than the ZIF-8C counterpart, attributable to the synergistic effect of the self-templated ZIF-8C anchors and the graphitized rGO substrate. Electrochemical results show that the ZIF-8C@rGO based sensor exhibits a wide linear range of 0.5 to 70 μM for both HQ and CC, with low detection limits of 0.073 μM for HQ and 0.076 μM for CC, respectively. A trial of monitoring HQ and CC in real water sample demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed ZIF-8C@rGO based sensor.

N-doped porous biochar (NPB) with large conjugated systems could not only be used as enrichment carriers but also be in favor of electron transport in the electrochemical detection. The NPB-modified electrode was fabricated for the simultaneous detection of catechol (CA) and hydroquinone (HQ) to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio and further improve the sensitivity. A detection limit as low as 37 and 47 nM was achieved for CA and HQ, respectively. The proposed strategy with the merits of high sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility exhibited a great potential for the detection.

Hydroquinone (HQ) is a major phenol compound pollutant derived from industrial wastewater. Its content in environmental water is closely related to the water quality. Thus, it is in great need to develop facile, sensitive and selective detection methods for HQ. In this paper, an effective and selective HQ detection probe was fabricated based on novel silicon quantum dots (SiQDs), which were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method. Such SiQDs exhibited good water solubility and intensely green fluorescence. Interestingly, their fluorescence can be significantly quenched upon addition of HQ, which is attributed to the electron transfer from SiQDs to the generated 1,4-benzoquinone, and the inner filter effect of SiQDs-1,4-benzoquinone complex. This SiQD probe can detect HQ in a wide concentration range from 6 to 100 μM, with a detection limit of 2.63 μM. More importantly, compared with other reported methods, this probe can eliminate the interference from catechol (CC) and resorcinol (RS), and gives new insight on the discrimination HQ from its isomers. Furthermore, this fluorescent probe was also successfully applied for the determination of HQ in real water samples with satisfactory recoveries, indicating the reliability and potential application of this fluorescent probe for monitoring HQ.

Two series of 4, 4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) type polyurethanes based on poly(tetramethyleneoxide) glycol (PTMO) and polybutylene adipate glycol (PBA) as soft segments were synthesized by one-step bulk polymerization process. Various hard segments were obtained from hydroquinone ether derivatives with or without ether oxygen structure bonded with the aromatic units in main chain, including hydroquinone (HQE), hydroquinone bis(b-hydroxyethy) ether (HQEE), and 4-hydroxyethyl ethyl oxygen-1-hydroxy ethyl benzene ether (HQEE-L) as chain extenders. The effect of chain extender structure on aggregation structure, thermal and mechanical properties was studied. ATR-FTIR suggested that hydrogen bonding interactions were significantly changed in the presence of flexible ether oxygen structure in hard segment. HQEE-based polyurethanes and HQEE-L-based polyurethanes displayed microphase separation and microphase mixing behavior respectively based on DMA and DSC results. XRD curves confirmed that flexible ether oxygen chain bonded with the rigid aromatic units played a balancing role in the steric effect caused by aromatic chain extender. Thermal properties of polyurethanes were affected mainly by the hard segment packing while mechanical properties were influenced by both phase separation and phase mixing which possess strong hydrogen bonding interactions. The excellent elongation in PTMO/HQEE-L and the high ultimate tensile strength in PBA/HQEE-L can be attributed to the phase mixing with strong hydrogen bonding interactions presented in HQEE-L-based polyurethanes.

In this contribution, a very simple and reliable strategy based on the easy modification of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by pre-electrolyzing GCE in ammonium carbamate aqueous solution was employed for the simultaneous determination of hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC). Compared with bare GCE, the incorporation of nitrogen into the GCE surface structure improved the electrocatalytic properties of GCE towards the electro-oxidation of HQ and CC. The nitrogen-introduced GCE (N-GCE) was evaluated for the simultaneous detection of HQ and CC and the linear ranges for HQ and CC were both from 5 to 260 μM. Their detection limits were both evaluated to be 0.2 μM (S/N = 3). The present method was applied for the determination of HQ and CC in real river water samples with recoveries of 95.0–102.1%. In addition, a possible detection mechanism of HQ and CC was discussed.

Natural graphite has a large electrical conductivity in plane direction, hundreds times of that in vertical direction. Regulating graphite flakes perpendicular to the plane will improve the performance of the sensor. As a non-connected method, magnetic field-assisted orientation can be no-additives. However, some studies believe that diamagnetic materials are non-magnetic, and must be doped by ferromagnetic materials before oriented by a magnetic field. Here, original graphite flakes were vertically oriented by a low magnetic field during the electrode preparation to increase effective surface area. The performance of electrode was enhanced in both potassium ferricyanide/potassium ferrocyanide probe system and detection of hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC). For HQ and CC detection, the sensitivities of vertically oriented graphite flakes electrode are 5.05 times and 6.35 times higher than that of graphite flakes without magnetic field, respectively. This magnetic alignment technology could construct other electrode materials for electrochemical sensors.

Supercapacitor is an electrochemical energy-storage technology that can meet the green and sustainable energy needs of the future. However, a low energy density was a bottleneck that limited its practical application. To overcome this, we developed a heterojunction system composed of two-dimensional (2D) graphene and hydroquinone dimethyl ether- an atypical redox-active aromatic ether. This heterojunction displayed a large specific capacitance (Cs) of 523 F g −1 at 1.0 A g −1 , as well as good rate capability and cycling stability. When assembled in symmetric and asymmetric two-electrode configuration, respectively, supercapacitors can work in voltage windows of 0 ∼ 1.0 V and 0 ∼ 1.6 V, accordingly, and exhibited attractive capacitive characteristics. The best device can deliver an energy density of 32.4 Wh Kg −1 and a power density of 8000 W Kg −1 , and suffered a small capacitance degradation. Additionally, the device showed low self-discharge and leakage current behaviors during long time. This strategy may inspire exploration of aromatic ether electrochemistry and pave a way to develop electrical double-layer capacitance (EDLC)/pseudocapacitance heterojunctions to boost the critical energy density.

Simple, rapid and sensitive analysis of drug-derived pollutants is critically valuable for environmental monitoring. Here, taking acetaminophen, hydroquinone and catechol as a study example, a sensor based on an ITO/APTES/r-GO@Au electrode was developed for separate and simultaneous determination of phenolic pollutants. ITO electrodes that are modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), graphene (GO) and Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) can significantly enhance the electronic transport of phenolic pollutants at the electrode surface. The redox mechanisms of phenolic pollutants include the electron transfer with the enhancement of r-GO@Au. The modified ITO electrode exhibits excellent electrical properties to phenolic pollutants and a good linear relationship between ECL intensity and the concentration of phenolic pollutants, with a limit of detection of 0.82, 1.41 and 1.95 μM, respectively. The separate and simultaneous determination of AP, CC and HQ is feasible with the ITO/APTES/r-GO@Au electrode. The sensor shows great promise as a low-lost, sensitive, and rapid method for simultaneous determination of drug-derived pollutants.
