Abstract

An electrochemical sensor for the carcinogen 4,4'-oxydianiline (Oxy) is described. The method is based on the ability of MoS2 nanosheets to preconcentrate Oxy. A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was covered, by drop-casting, with MoS2 nanosheets that were obtained by exfoliation. X-Ray photoemission spectroscopy indicates that Oxy accumulates on the MoS2 nanosheets through an electropolymerization process similar to that reported for aniline. Both electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy were used to characterize the electrode surface at the different stages of device fabrication. Employing the current measured at +0.27 V vs. Ag/AgCl after Oxy adsorption, the modified GCE enables the voltammetric detection of Oxy at 80 nM levels with relative errors and relative standard deviations of <8.3 and <5.6%, respectively, at all the concentrations studied. The method was applied to the selective determination of Oxy in spiked river water samples. Very good selectivity and recoveries of around 95% in average are found.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-12-29:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 10.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 10 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 2 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: https://repositorio.uam.es/handle/10486/720391
