First, a wet polymer containing Bi and\n Fe salts was obtained by following a modified resorcinol-formaldehyde based sol\u2013gel route, followed by drying in ambient conditions, and pyrolysis under inert atmosphere. Then, through TiCl<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub> hydrolysis, TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> nanoparticles were deposited on the BiFeCX xerogel leading\n to BiFeCX-TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>. The morphological and structural characterization of the investigated nanocomposites consisted in X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy and N<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> adsorption measurements, revealing\n porous carbon structures with embedded nanoparticles and the particularities driven by the pyrolysis and TiCl<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub> treatment. The new modified electrodes based on BiFeCX or BiFeCX-TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> nanocomposite materials, kept in a chitosan matrix (Chi) and deposited on a glassy carbon\n (GC) electrode surface (GC\/Chi-BiFeCX or GC\/Chi-BiFeCX-TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>), were obtained and investigated for Pb(II) voltammetric detection and H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> amperometric detection. Moreover, the BiFeCX-TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> nanocomposite was tested for the photocatalytic degradation\n of methyl orange. The great potential of BiFeCX nanocomposite material for developing electrochemical sensors, or BiFeCX-TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> for sensors application and photocatalytic application was demonstrated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1166\/jnn.2021.18963","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,27]],"date-time":"2021-01-27T04:36:17Z","timestamp":1611722177000},"page":"2323-2333","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Preparation and Characterization of Carbon Xerogel Based Composites for Electrochemical Sensing and Photocatalytic Degradation"],"prefix":"10.1166","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Carmen I.","family":"Fort","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, Laboratory of Electrochemical Research and Nonconventional Materials, Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, \u201cBabes-Bolyai\u201d University, Arany Janos 11, RO-400028 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mihai M.","family":"Rusu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Research-Development-Innovation in Applied Natural Sciences, \u201cBabes-Bolyai\u201d University, F\u00e2nt\u00e2nele 30, RO-400294, Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lucian C.","family":"Pop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Research Institute on Bio-Nano-Sciences, \u201cBabes-Bolyai\u201d University, Treboniu Laurian 42, RO-400271, Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liviu C.","family":"Cotet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, Laboratory of Electrochemical Research and Nonconventional Materials, Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, \u201cBabes-Bolyai\u201d University, Arany Janos 11, RO-400028 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adriana","family":"Vulpoi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Research Institute on Bio-Nano-Sciences, \u201cBabes-Bolyai\u201d University, Treboniu Laurian 42, RO-400271, Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Monica","family":"Baia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Physics, \u201cBabes-Bolyai\u201d University, M.
