Simultaneous Voltammetric Determination of Epinine and Venlafaxine Using Disposable Screen-Printed Graphite Electrode Modified by Bimetallic Ni-Co-Metal-Organic-Framework Nanosheets

We constructed two-dimensional NiCo-metal-organic-framework (NiCo-MOF) nanosheets based on a facile protocol and then characterized them using multiple approaches (X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and N₂ adsorption/desorption isotherms techniques). As a sensitive electroactive material, the as-fabricated bimetallic NiCo-MOF nanosheets were employed to modify a screen-printed graphite electrode surface (NiCo-MOF/SPGE) for epinine electro-oxidation. According to the findings, there was a great improvement in the current responses of the epinine because of the appreciable electron transfer reaction and catalytic performance of the as-produced NiCo-MOF nanosheets. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry were utilized to analyze the electrochemical activity of the epinine on the NiCo-MOF/SPGE. A linear calibration plot was obtained in the broad concentration range (0.07-335.0 µM) with a high sensitivity (0.1173 µA/µM) and a commendable correlation coefficient (0.9997). The limit of detection (S/N = 3) was estimated at 0.02 µM for the epinine. According to findings from DPV, the electrochemical sensor of the NiCo-MOF/SPGE could co-detect epinine and venlafaxine. The repeatability, reproducibility and stability of the NiCo-metal-organic-framework-nanosheets-modified electrode were investigated, and the relative standard deviations obtained indicated that the NiCo-MOF/SPGE had superior repeatability, reproducibility and stability. The as-constructed sensor was successfully applicable in sensing the study analytes in real specimens.

Synthesis and Characterization of GO/ZIF-67 Nanocomposite: Investigation of Catalytic Activity for the Determination of Epinine in the Presence of Dobutamine

In this study, we prepared graphene oxide (GO)/ZIF-67 nanocomposites. Therefore, GO/ZIF-67 nanocomposites were used as a modifier on a screen-printed electrode (GO/ZIF-67/SPE) for studying the electrochemical behavior of epinine in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) at pH 7.0 with voltammetry techniques. The GO/ZIF-67/SPE showed greater electrocatalytic activities than the bare SPE. As a result, the GO/ZIF-67/SPE was utilized for additional electrochemical examinations. The epinine concentration determination was in the range 9.0 × 10-8 M to 5.0 × 10-4 M, and the limit of detection (LOD) as well as the limit of quantification (LOQ) equaled 2.0 and 6.6 nM, respectively. From the scan rate study, the oxidation of epinine was found to be diffusion-controlled, and the simultaneous detection of epinine and dobutamine were well achieved with the differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) technique. Moreover, the stability and reproducibility of epinine at the GO/ZIF-67/SPE was studied, and the use of the GO/ZIF-67/SPE to detect epinine and dobutamine in real samples was furthermore successfully demonstrated.
