Determination of chemical oxygen demand in mixed organic solution by Ti/TiO2 nanotube array electrode method

Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a significant parameter for analyzing water quality. However, the detection methods still suffer from the problems of secondary pollution, use of harmful substances, complicated operations, etc. To trace these problems, a Ti/TiO2 nanotube array (NTA) electrode was suc...
