Morphology controlled Cu₃BiS₃ nanostructures: superior electrocatalytic sensing of organic nitro compounds.

ABSTRACT: Addressing the pressing need to develop affordable and efficient catalysts is essential. In this study, we successfully synthesized Cu₃BiS₃ nanostructures with a modified morphology using three different nitrogen bases: DBN, DBU, and DABCO via a hydrothermal technique. These nanostructures were used for the electrochemical detection of organic nitro groups, a previously unexplored application for this material. We conducted a thorough characterization of the Cu₃BiS₃ nanostructures using various analytical and spectroscopic methods, including PXRD, FESEM, TEM, XPS, UV-vis, and BET, ensuring the reliability of our results. We then investigated their performance in the electrochemical detection of 4-dinitrophenol (4-NP) and 2,4-dinitrophenol
