Electrochemical Sensing Platform Based on Functionalized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes and Metal Oxide for the Detection and Degradation Studies of Orange II Dye.

ABSTRACT: Textile industry effluents are heavily contaminated with dyes. The discharge of these toxic dyes into waterbodies poses a serious threat to aquatic flora and fauna. The ultimate entrance of these toxins from thereon into the food chain affects the primary and secondary consumers. Therefore, the adoption of a sustainable solution for protection against the detrimental effects associated with adulterated water is an immediate need of the hour. To address the severity of the issue, the present work aims to design an electrochemical sensing platform by modifying the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with zinc oxide nanoparticles and amino group-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (NH₂-fMWCNTs) for the detection of Orange II, which is a toxic azo dye. Zinc oxide nanoparticles fa
