The purpose of this article is to describe an effective and accurate electrochemical sensor based on Europium oxide (Eu-O)/graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) nanocomposite towards the sensing and determination of the autoimmune depressive drug Azathioprine (AZP). EuO/g-CN nanocomposite was produced by using a superficial sonochemical technique. As demonstrated by impedance measurements, g-CN to the EuO lattice considerably low resisting property, which is advantageous for the electrochemical sensing process. Due to the unique aggregated coral like EuO nanoparticle on the flakelike g-CN, it shows excellent synergy and the electrode modified with EuO/g-CN demonstrated outstanding electrochemical behaviour for AZP sensing. The electrode modified with EuO/g-CN exhibited high sensitivity (0.410 µA µM -1 cm −2 ) and a detectable limit (8 nM), with high selectivity toward AZP. To demonstrate the sensor's utility, it was used to detect AZP in real sample, the determination of AZP was exhibited in biological fluids namely, human blood serum and urine samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
