Abstract

Inverse micelle (IM) and ultrasound-assisted inverse micelle (UAIM) techniques were used to fabricate new Bi-MOF nanostructures. The results showed that the Bi-MOF sample made by ultrasound technique has a higher thermal stability (347 degrees C), smaller particles sizes (9.99 nm) and a larger specific surface area (21.43 m(2)/g). In this efficient technique, crystallization process is formed in a shorter time under environmental conditions, the experimental factors of UAIM method are designed by 2(k-1 )fractional factorial method, and the effective parameters include time duration, ultrasound power and temperature. The results show that the Bi-MOF nanostructures sample synthesized by UAIM method has desirable physicochemical behaviors. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique is used to investigate the electrocatalytic activity of Bi-MOF for electrochemical detection of 4-Aminophenol (4-AP). The results show great efficiency of Bi-MOF in the electrochemical detection of 4-AP. The effective product, new physicochemical features, and the significant electrochemical potential developed in this study can be related to the novel Bi-MOF, efficient synthesis route and 2(k-1) factorial design.
