A metal organic framework (MOF) of the type copper(II)-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (Cu-BTC) was electrodeposited on electroreduced graphene oxide (ERGO) placed on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The modified GCE was used for highly sensitive electrochemical determination of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). The fabrication process of the modified electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) demonstrates that the Cu-BTC/ERGO/GCE gives stronger signals for TNP reduction than Cu-BTC/GCE or ERGO/GCE alone. DPV also shows TNP to exhibit three reduction peaks, the first at a potential of −0.42 V (vs. SCE). This potential was selected because the other three similarly-structured compounds (2-nitrophenol, 4-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol) do not give a signal at this potential. Response is linear in the 0.2 to 10 μM TNP concentration range, with a 0.1 μM detection limit (at S/N = 3) and a 15.98 μA∙μM−1∙cm−2 sensitivity under optimal conditions. The applicability of the sensor was evaluated by detecting TNP in spiked tap water and lake water samples. Recoveries ranged between 95 and 101%.
