Abstract:

Herein we describe an innovative comprehensive experiment titled "Design and Evaluation of a ZIF-8/WCNT-Based Electrochemical Sensor for Nitrofurazone Determination in Experimental Teaching" used in our undergraduate program. The experiment comprises several modules, namely synthesis and characterization of Zn-MeIM metal-organic framework ZIF-8, preparation of an electrochemical sensor, optimization of experimental conditions, and development of analytical methods. The experiment involves analytical chemistry, materials chemistry, and other secondary chemistry branches. Owing to its interdisciplinary features and remarkable expansibility, the experiment is suitable for undergraduate experimental analytical chemistry teaching.

Key words: Innovative comprehensive experiment, ZIF-8/WCNT, Electrochemical sensor, Nitrofurazone
