Highly dispersive Ag nanoparticles on functionalized graphene for an excellent electrochemical sensor of nitroaromatic compounds

Abstract

A facile carbon radical reaction procedure and a chemical reduction method were proposed to synthesize Ag nanoparticles on functionalized graphene with uniform, high dispersion and excellent stability. The resultant material showed excellent electrocatalytic activity to nitroaromatic compounds and high sensitivity to the detection of nitroaromatic compounds.
