4-Aminophenol (4-APL/4-AP) is one of the toxic chemicals in the water sources. The electrochemical oxidation of 4-APL reaction was studied by electrochemical method with SPCE modified with perovskite rare-Earth ferrate (PrFeO3). The nanomaterials were characterize using various morphological analysis by TEM, XRD, FTIR, Raman, XPS. PrFeO3needles modified SPCE demonstrated excellent electrocatalytic performance towards the electrooxidation of 4-APL under pH 7.0, having anodic peak current significantly higher than those of the bare SPCE. Using CV and amperometry method to analyse the sensor performance toward 4-APL detection. In CV, the synthetic sensor plays wide 4-APL detection range from 100–500 μM. In amperometry method, the sensor plays wide range of 4-APL detection from 0.03 to 1859 μM and the limit of detection is 0.014 μM. Mainly the proposed sensor material of PrFeO3/SPCE exhibit an excellent 4-APL detection carrying out in various food samples. Furthermore, regarding 4-APL analysis, PrFeO3/SPCE demonstrate outstanding selectivity, low limit of detection, repeatability, reproducibility, and operational stability.

Molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2), an in-organic analog of graphene, is considered a rising star in the family of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) because of its stable covalent Mo–Se bond, good catalytic properties, huge specific surface area, higher electrical, multivalent oxidation states of transition metal ions, and its ability to be intercalated with suitably-sized metal atoms or organic molecules to modify their physical properties with a distinguishing layered structure. It is being projected as the next-generation 2D layered nano-material for many energy storage-conversion applications. This review covers the properties, functionalization of MoSe2, and their applications in supercapacitors, discussing the current developments of MoSe2and its nano-composites-based supercapacitors, providing emphasis to the capacitive performances which comprise of specific capacitance/ capacity, cyclic lifespan, energy density, power density, rate capability, and their practicality in the real environments. Fundamental charge-storage mechanisms are also discussed to provide better insight into how MoSe2is ascribed to each supercapacitor. Wherever applicable, limitations of the existing approaches and future outlook are also described.
