Abstract:

A new structure of Al2O3-Reduced Graphene Oxide nanocomposite has been successfully synthetized through a green one-pot hydrothermal method and a subsequent calcining process. This nanocomposite was demonstrated to have practical application potential in electrochemically detecting organophosphate pesticides in drinking water.
