Electrochemical Sensing Fabricated with Ta2O5 Nanoparticle-Electrochemically Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite for the Detection of Oxytetracycline

Abstract

A novel tantalum pentoxide nanoparticle-electrochemically reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite-modified glassy carbon electrode (Ta2O5-ErGO/GCE) was developed for the detection of oxytetracycline in milk. The composition, structure and morphology of GO, Ta2O5, and Ta2O5-ErGO were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Oxytetracycline electrochemical behavior on the bare GCE, GO/GCE, ErGO/GCE, and Ta2O5-ErGO/GCE was studied by cyclic voltammetry. The voltammetric conditions (including scan rate, pH, deposition potential, and deposition time) were systematically optimized. With the spacious electrochemical active area, the Ta2O5-ErGO/GCE showed a great magnification of the oxidation signal of oxytetracycline, while that of the other electrodes (GCE, GO/GCE, ErGO/GCE) could not reach the same level. Under the optimum conditions, the currents were proportional to the oxytetracycline concentration in the range from 0.2 to 10 μM, and a low detection limit of 0.095 μM (S/N = 3) was detectable. Moreover, the proposed Ta2O5-ErGO/GCE performed practically with satisfactory results. The preparation of Ta2O5-ErGO/GCE in the current work provides a minor outlook of detecting trace oxytetracycline in milk.

Study on Cd2+ Determination Using Bud‐like Poly‐L‐Tyrosine/Bi Composite Film Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode Combined with Eliminating of Cu2+ Interference by Electrodeposition

“…From the above results, it can be seen that the response of bare GC electrode to [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3À /4À has good reversibility, and its electroactive area (0.06425 cm 2 ) is larger than that (0.04-0.05 cm 2 ) of GC electrodes with the same size reported in the literatures [38][39][40], which indicates that it is reliably used in this experimental research.…”

Advances in Metal-Organic Frameworks MIL-101(Cr)

“…The sensors mainly involved electrochemical sensors [ 173 , 174 ], biosensors [ 175 ], electrochemical biosensors [ 176 , 177 ], immunosensors [ 178 ], fluorescent sensors [ 179 , 180 ], etc. Sensors have penetrated into a wide range of fields, such as industrial production [ 181 , 182 , 183 ], environmental protection [ 184 ], bioengineering [ 179 , 185 ], medical diagnosis [ 186 , 187 , 188 , 189 ], marine exploration, and so on. MIL-101(Cr) also had great application value in sensing due to its characteristics [ 190 , 191 ].…”

Effects of the annealing of amorphous Ta2O5 coatings produced by ion beam sputtering concerning the effusion of argon and the chemical composition

“…Amorphous Ta 2 O 5 is a material with a large variety of applications in electronic circuits [1], quantum technologies [2], gas [3] or molecular sensing [4], enhancement of Raman scattering [5], hydrogen generation activity [6] or hydrophobic activity [7]. Among the physical properties which allow this broad range of applications, the refractive index n~2.1 at 1064 nm is of the highest importance [8].…”
