Abstract Nitrobenzene (NB) is toxic even at low concentrations and hence, its contamination in the environment is a pervasive concern. The electrochemical techniques have emerged as rosy method to sense and degrade NB and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) catalysts are found to be promising for this. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) decorated N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (EDAS) modified graphitic carbon nitride nanocomposites (EDAS/(g-C3N4-Ag)NC) having various silver concentrations are prepared through a facile method and applied for the electrochemical sensing of NB derivatives. UV-vis absorption edge at 430 nm together with a broad surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak at 450 nm indicates the existence of AgNPs on the g-C3N4 nanosheets. FT-IR spectra endorse the presence of g-C3N4 nanosheets in the composite. The presence of Ag in EDAS/(g-C3N4-Ag)NC is confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The nanocomposite prepared with 2 mM Ag+ shows superb electrocatalytic activity towards the reduction of nitrobenzene and its derivatives. Sensitivity of the modified electrode and limit of detection (LOD) for NB assessed by square wave voltammetry are found to be 0.594 A M− 1 cm− 2 and 2 µM, respectively, in the linear range of 5–50 µM.

The polymeric graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been one of the interesting earth abundant elements. Though g-C3N4 finds application as a photocatalyst, its photocatalytic behaviour is limited because of low efficiency, mainly due to rapid charge recombination. To overcome this problem, several strategies have been developed including doping of metal/non-metal in the cavity of g-C3N4. Moreover, the CoFe2O4 NPs have been used in many organic transformations because of its high surface area and easy separation due to its magnetic nature. This review describes the role of cobalt ferrite as magnetic nanoparticles and metal-doped carbon nitride as efficient heterogeneous catalysts for new carbon-carbon and carbon-hetero atom bond formation followed by heterocyclization. Reactions which involved new catalysts for selective activation of readily available substrates has been reported herein. Since nanoparticles enhance the reactivity of catalyst due to higher catalytic area, they have been employed in various reactions such as addition reaction, C-H activation reaction, coupling reaction, cyclo-addition reaction, multi-component reaction, ring-opening reaction, oxidation reaction and reduction reactions etc. The driving force for choosing this topic is based-on huge number of good publications including different types of spinels/metal doped-/graphitic carbon nitride reported in the literature and due to interest of synthetic community in recent years. This review certainly will represent the present status in organic transformation and for exploring further their catalytic efficiency to new organic transformations involving C-H activation reaction through coupling, cyclo-addition, multi-component, ring-opening, oxidation and reduction reactions.
