  • A glassy carbon electrode (GC) exhibited an attractive performance for the detection and determination of a nitro compound like 1,2- Bis(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)ethylene (HNS). Cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse and square wave voltammetry were used in a combined way to identify the electrochemical characteristics and to optimize the conditions for detection. For calibrating and estimating HNS, square- wave voltammetry was mainly used. The HNS shows a well-defined peak at in the dimethy sulfoxide (DMSO) containing Tetrabutyl Ammonium Bromide (TBABr) medium. The existence of peak at -0.10 V showed good peak and high current response.
