Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures are widely used in optical sensors and biosensors. Functionalization of these nanostructures with polymers enables optical properties of ZnO to be tailored. Polydopamine (PDA) is a highly biocompatible polymer, which can be used as a versatile coating suitable for application in sensor and biosensor design. In this research, we have grown ZnO-based nanorods on the surface of ITO-modified glass-plated optically transparent electrodes (glass/ITO). Then the deposition of the PDA polymer layer on the surface of ZnO nanorods was performed from an aqueous PDA solution in such a way glass/ITO/ZnO-PDA structure was formed. The ZnO-PDA composite was characterized by SEM, TEM, and FTIR spectroscopy. Then glucose oxidase (GOx) was immobilized using crosslinking by glutaraldehyde on the surface of the ZnO-PDA composite, and glass/ITO/ZnO-PDA/GOx-based biosensing structure was designed. This structure was applied for the photo-electrochemical determination of glucose (Glc) in aqueous solutions. Photo-electrochemical determination of glucose by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry has been performed by glass/ITO/ZnO-PDA/GOx-based biosensor. Here reported modification/functionalization of ZnO nanorods with PDA enhances the photo-electrochemical performance of ZnO nanorods, which is well suited for the design of photo-electrochemical sensors and biosensors.

Widespread usage of pesticides in agricultural practice caused their residues to appear in water and food products intended for human consumption. The potential toxicity of these resources has raised awareness about pesticide tracking in the environment. Development of reliable electrochemical sensors for the on-site determination of pesticide concentrations is envisioned as an alternative to conventional chromatographic methods which are robust, expensive and require skilled work force. Modification of the working electrode surface can result in enhanced electrochemical response towards selected pesticide making such electrode convenient sensor for facile and efficient determination of pesticides in low concentrations. New generation of nanomaterials is applied in electrode modification in order to improve its sensitivity and selectivity. The present review summarizes significant advances in voltammetric detection of pesticides for the period of the past five years. The major focus of this review is set to the types of carbon and oxide based materials, metal nanoparticles, composites and other materials employed to upgrade standard electrode configurations such as glassy carbon and carbon paste electrodes, boron doped diamond electrodes, screen printed and film electrodes, metal and amalgam, and other kinds of electrodes.

Minocycline Hydrochloride

The current work described the synthesis and characterization of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) and their electrocatalytic activity in the determination of minocycline hydrochloride (MCL). The unique features of metal oxide nanoparticles such as zinc oxide encourage the researchers to investigate the activity of metal oxide nanoparticles as remarkable semiconductor materials active in the electrochemical sensing determination. Herein, the suggested study displayed a comparative determination of minocycline hydrochloride using two conventional and modified ZnONPs-coated wire sensors. The recorded results showed the linear behavior of the enriched ZnONPs sensor over the 1.0 × 10−10–1.0 × 10−2 mol L−1 with respect to 1.0 × 10−6–1.0 × 10−2 mol L−1 for the conventional sensor. The two sensors are working in the pH range of 3–5 with regression equations EmV = (53.2 ± 0.5) log [MCL] + 448.8 and EmV = (58.7 ± 0.2) log [MCL] + 617.76 for conventional and enriched ZnONPs, respectively. The correlation coefficients were 0.9995 and 0.9998 for the previously mentioned sensors, respectively. The validity of the suggested analytical method was evaluated according to the recommended guidelines for methodology and drug analysis. The developed sensors were also used in the quantification of MCL in commercial formulations.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) combining with ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were used for electrochemical determination of bisphenol A (BPA). Fe3O4 nanoparticles with an average size of about 12 nm were synthesized. It was found that the Fe3O4-MWNTs nanocomposites-modified electrode could remarkably enhance the oxidation current of BPA. Chronoamperometry studies reveal that the amperometric response is rapid, stable, and offers a linear dependence over a range of BPA concentrations from 0.1 to 4 M. The proposed method can be used for evaluation of BPA in water samples. The electrochemical properties of the Fe3O4-MWNT nanocomposites are reasonably envisaged to be promising for providing a nanostructured platform in the development of electrochemical sensors or biosensors.

AbstractAcetaminophen is a well-known drug commonly used to provide pain relief, but it can also lead to acute liver failure at high concentrations. Therefore, there is considerable interest in monitoring its concentrations. Sensitive and selective acetaminophen electrochemical sensors were designed by cycling a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to high potentials in the presence of β-CD in a phosphate electrolyte, or by simply activating the GCE electrode in the phosphate solution. Using cyclic voltammetry, adsorption-like voltammograms were recorded. The acetaminophen oxidation product, N-acetyl benzoquinone imine, was protected from hydrolysis, and this was attributed to the adsorption of acetaminophen at the modified GCE. The rate constants for the oxidation of acetaminophen were estimated as 4.3 × 10–3 cm2 s–1 and 3.4 × 10–3 cm2 s–1 for the β-CD-modified and -activated electrodes, respectively. Using differential pulse voltammetry, the limit of detection was calculated as 9.7 × 10–8 M with a linear concentration range extending from 0.1 to 80 μM. Furthermore, good selectivity was achieved in the presence of caffeine, ascorbic acid and aspirin, enabling the determination of acetaminophen in a commercial tablet. Similar electrochemical data were obtained for both the β-CD-modified and activated GCE surfaces, suggesting that the enhanced detection of acetaminophen is connected mainly to the activation and oxidation of the GCE. Using SEM, EDX and FTIR, no evidence was obtained to indicate that the β-CD was electropolymerised at the GCE.

Morphology of thin film poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) embedded with nanosphere-and nanorod-shape Zinc Oxide (ZnO) has been studied. We deposited the materials on quartz substrate using spin coating technique. The morphology of P3HT: ZnO thin films were investigated using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray emission spectroscopy (EDX) and RAMAN Spectroscopy and compared. Based on size and shape of both ZnO, it can be seen that nanospheres in P3HT was found to be better than ZnO nanorods in P3HT.
