A New Electrochemical Sensor for the Detection of Ketoconazole Using Carbon Paste Electrode Modified with Sheaf-like Ce-BTC MOF Nanostructure and Ionic Liquid

An ultrasensitive and selective voltammetric sensor with an ultratrace-level detection limit is introduced for ketoconazole (KTC) determination in real samples using a modified carbon paste electrode with a sheaf-like Ce-BTC MOF nanostructure and ionic liquid. The as-synthesized nanostructure was characterized by several techniques, including energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The electrocatalytic performance of the developed electrode was observed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), and chronoamperometry. The limit of detection (LOD) of the developed sensor for KTC is 0.04 μM, and the response was found to be in the dynamic concentration range of 0.1-110.0 μM in a phosphate buffer solution. The proposed electrode exhibits acceptable electrocatalytic activity for KTC oxidation with a high sensitivity of 0.1342 μA·μM^-1. The ability of the fabricated sensor to monitor KTC in real aqueous samples is demonstrated using standard addition data.

The development of disposable electrochemical sensor based on MoSe2-rGO nanocomposite modified screen printed carbon electrode for amitriptyline determination in the presence of carbamazepine, application in biological and water samples

The present attempt developed a simple sensing system based on the modification of screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) with MoSe₂/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposite (MoSe₂-rGO/SPCE) to voltammetrically co-detect amitriptyline and carbamazepine. Different techniques such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were employed to characterize MoSe₂-rGO nanocomposite morphology and structure. Moreover, chronoamperometry, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) were utilized to explore the electrochemical oxidation of amitriptyline. Data revealed a great current sensitivity for the MoSe₂-rGO/SPCE towards amitriptyline. The peak currents of amitriptyline oxidation on the MoSe₂-rGO/SPCE had linear dynamic range (0.02-380.0 μM) and a narrow limit of detection (0.007 μM). The MoSe₂-rGO/SPCE was successful in sensing carbamazepine and amitriptyline in real specimens, with appreciable recovery rates.

A novel voltammetric amaranth sensor based on screen printed electrode modified with polypyrrole nanotubes

Azo dyes are the most used type of dye in the textile industry. Some of these dyes have the potential to be extremely toxic to both human health and the environment. The purpose of this study was to develope an electrochemical sensor for detection of amaranth. The electrochemical sensor based on the modification of a screen-printed electrode via polypyrrole nanotubes (PPy NTs/SPE) for detection of amaranth was developed. The preparation of PPy NTs was performed through the pyrrole monomer oxidation with iron (III) chloride in exposure to methyl orange as structure-guiding agent. Findings exhibited an excellent electrocatalytic activity of as-fabricated sensor for amaranth detection. Our sensor under the optimized circumstances also had a broad linear dynamic range (between 0.03 μM and 290.0 μM) and a narrow limit of detection (0.01 μM) towards the amaranth detection. Moreover, the proposed sensor could practically and successfully determine the amaranth content present in the real food specimens, with acceptable recovery rates.

Surface amplification of graphite screen printed electrode using reduced graphene oxide/polypyrrole nanotubes nanocomposite; a powerful electrochemical strategy for determination of sulfite in food samples

The present research presents synthesis and substantial utilization of a nanocomposite of reduced graphene oxide/polypyrrole nanotubes to modify graphite screen printed electrode (rGO/PPy NTs-GSPE) for detection of sulfite. The nanocomposite preparation was done by hydrothermal protocol, followed by characterization by energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Electrocatalytic sensing of sulfite is carried out using differential pulse voltammetric (DPV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), cyclic voltammetric (CV), and Chronoamperometry. Electrochemical behaviors of modified and unmodified electrodes were explored with CV method. In addition, DPV was employed for anodic peak and quantitatively detecting sulfite. The DPV results unveiled a linear response of the sensor to various sulfite contents (0.04-565.0 μM) with a narrow detection limit (0.01 μM) and admirable sensitivity (0.0483 μA/μΜ). The diffusion coefficient (D) for sulfite using rGO/PPy NTs-GSPE, 9.9 × 10^-6 cm ²/s was obtained. The sensor was also successful in the sulfite detection in real specimens.

Novel Copper-Zinc-Manganese Ternary Metal Oxide Nanocomposite as Heterogeneous Catalyst for Glucose Sensor and Antibacterial Activity

A novel copper-zinc-manganese trimetal oxide nanocomposite was synthesized by the simple co-precipitation method for sensing glucose and methylene blue degradation. The absorption maximum was found by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) analysis, and the bandgap was 4.32 eV. The formation of a bond between metal and oxygen was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis. The average crystallite size was calculated as 17.31 nm by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis. The morphology was observed as spherical by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) analysis. The elemental composition was determined by Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDAX) analysis.

The hydrodynamic diameter and zeta potential of the nanocomposite were 218 nm and −46.8 eV, respectively. The thermal stability of the nanocomposite was analyzed by thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) analysis. The synthesized nanocomposite was evaluated for the electrochemical glucose sensor. The nanocomposite shows 87.47% of degradation ability against methylene blue dye at a 50 µM concentration. The trimetal oxide nanocomposite shows potent activity against Escherichia coli.

The results confirm the antioxidant potency of nanoparticles (NPs) was concentration dependent.
