Electrochemical detection of mercury using biosynthesized hydroxyapatite nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrodes without preconcentration

Abstract: An electrochemical method for the determination of trace levels of mercury (II) ions using hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by square wave voltammetry is described for the first time. HA nanoparticles biosynthesized using Aloe vera plant (Av) extract exhibited improved electrocatalytic activity towards Hg 2+ ions when compared to pristine HA. The Av-HA modified GCE showed an excellent selectivity and improved sensitivity towards the detection of Hg 2+ without requiring p… Show more

“…Green synthesis of HA got extensive scope because of its eco-friendly. Reducing, capping and stabilizing properties of many plant extracts such as Moringa oleifera leaf, gum-arabic, grape seed, banana, tamarind extract, Coccinia grandis and Azadirachta indica, orange, and potato peel, papaya leaf and calendula flower [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. When an aqueous plant extract is used a green reducing agent during the synthesis of metal or metal oxide nanoparticles, explaining the role of a particular phytochemical is not an easy one.…”
