▎ 摘　　要

Reduced Graphene oxide/ZnO nanoflowers (rGO/ZnO-NFs) composite has been synthesized in-situ using asymmetric Zn complex (1) as a single-source molecular precursor (SSMP) with GO at 150 degrees C. The rGO/ZnO-NFs composite was characterized by PXRD, UV-vis, SEM, EDX mapping, TEM and SAED pattern to confirm its purity and morphology. The rGO/ZnO-NFs composite shows uniform distribution of nanoflowers on graphene sheets. The modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was fabricated by drop wise layering of the rGO/ZnO-NFs composite at the surface of the GCE without using binder. The binder free modified electrode (GCE-rGO/ZnO) was explored for detection of nitroaromatics such as p-nitro-phenol (p-NP), 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (2,4,6-TNP). The fabricated sensor showed remarkable response for the both toxicants and explosives. The LOD, sensitivity and linear range for the studied toxicants and explosives were found to be in a good range: p-NP=0.93M, 240AmM(-1)cm(-2) and 0.2-0.9mM; 2,4-DNP=6.2M, 203AmM(-1)cm(-2) and 0.1-0.9mM; 2,4-DNT=10M, 371AmM(-1)cm(-2) and 0.2-0.9mM; 2,4,6-TNP=16M, 514AmM(-1)cm(-2) and 0.2-0.9mM, respectively.
