“…Among MNPs, cubic-spinel-structure CoFe 2 O 4 has been widely studied because of its being inexpensive to produce, excellent chemical stability, high electromagnetic performance, mechanical hardness, biocompatible, environmentally safe and Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00604-015-1588-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users. promising catalytic activity [18,19]. In the present work, a new carbon paste electrode, modified with CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT/ CoFe 2 O 4 /CPE), is constructed and used for the sensitive electrochemical determination of trace amounts of the DOX using differential pulse voltammetry.…”
