Thiol in fuel detected by CV using in situ BiFE in HAc-NaAc/methanol electrolyte.
An extra anodic peak appeared due to the adsorbed thiols on Bi film.
The intensity of extra peak at −0.45 V is proportional to the thiol concentration.
The proposed method can be applied for on-site analysis of thiol in fuel.
The sensor is fast, sensitive, accurate and environment-friendly.
