Electrochemical Sensor Based on ZnFe2O4/RGO Nanocomposite for Ultrasensitive Detection of Hydrazine in Real Samples

Abstract

We have developed a highly sensitive sensor of ZnFe2O4/reduced graphene oxide (ZnFe2O4/RGO) nanocomposite for electrochemical detection of hydrazine, fabricated by a simple hydrothermal protocol. Subsequently, a screen-printed electrode (SPE) surface was modified with the proposed nanocomposite (ZnFe2O4/RGO/SPE), and revealed an admirable electrocatalytic capacity for hydrazine oxidation. The ZnFe2O4/RGO/SPE sensor could selectively determine micromolar hydrazine concentrations. The as-produced sensor demonstrated excellent ability to detect hydrazine due to the synergistic impacts of the unique electrocatalytic capacity of ZnFe2O4 plus the potent physicochemical features of RGO such as manifold catalytic sites, great area-normalized edge-plane structures, high conductivity, and large surface area. The hydrazine detection using differential pulse voltammetry exhibited a broad linear dynamic range (0.03–610.0 µM) with a low limit of detection (0.01 µM).

Electrochemical strategies for detection of Diazinon: A review

“…This is due to the fact that the interactions between different materials when they are at the nanoscale (10 −9 m), are able to generate new properties where unique phenomena may occur, different from those observed at the macroscopic scale, thus giving rise to the possibility of new applications for these materials [71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90]. Various materials such as carbon-based nanomaterials, metal oxides, metals complex, polymers, and biological compounds can be used to modify electrode surfaces [91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107].…”

Flower-like MoS2 screen-printed electrode based sensor for the sensitive detection of sunset yellow FCF in food samples

“…In operations, the redox-active sites shuttle electrons between a solution of the analyte and the substrate electrodes often along with a significant reduction of the activation overpotential. A further advantage of chemically modified electrodes is that they are less prone to surface fouling and oxide formation compared to inert substrate electrodes [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45].…”

Electrochemical detection of folic acid using a modified screen printed electrode

“…These methods are time-consuming, expensive and require complicated pre-treatment steps. On the other hand, the electrochemical methods are a very promising way for the determination of folic acid and other compounds due to easy fabrication, low cost and rapid analysis compared to other analytical methods [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”
