$$\mathrm{NiFe}_{2}\mathrm{O}_{4 }$$ NiFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles-decorated activated carbon nanocomposite based electrochemical sensor for selective detection of dopamine in presence of uric acid and ascorbic acid

Abstract

We propose an electrochemical sensor using NiFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles-decorated activated carbon (AC) nanocomposite for selective detection of dopamine (DA) in the presence of uric acid (UA) and ascorbic acid (AA). The nanocomposite was prepared by a simple hydrothermal method and the characterization was done using transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The NiFe 2 O 4-AC-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) showed excellent electrocatalytic activity towards DA compared to NiFe 2 O 4 /GCE and AC/GCE. This is attributed to the synergistic action and the large surface area of the nanocomposite. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was employed for the detection of DA wherein the detection limit of 0.4 μM along with a linear range of 5 μM to 100 μM was deduced. The selective detection of DA in presence of AA and UA was demonstrated. The advantages of the present sensor include the ease of preparation of the nanocomposite, low detection limit, remarkable selectivity, good reproducibility and stability.

Ferrite Nanocomposite Based Electrochemical Sensor: Characterization, Voltammetric and Amperometric Studies for Electrocatalytic Detection of Formaldehyde in Aqueous Media

“…Nickel ferrites have inverse pervoskite structure with trivalent cations occupying tetrahedral and octahedral sites and divalent cations occupying octahedral sites [21]. Nickel ferrites possess potential properties to be used in multiple applications like catalysis, drug delivery, electrochemical sensing and biosensing [22–25]. However pure metallic ferrites often show weak catalytic and sensing properties [26].…”

“…Therefore, using bimetallic nanoparticles modified electrodes has been described as promising route for the electrochemical AA sensor fabrication. [15][16][17][18][19] It has been reported that bimetallic nanoparticles such as PdNi, AuPt, AuAg, AgPt and PtNi, exhibit better electrochemical properties than their single-metal component. [19][20][21][22][23] Specifically, bimetallic CoPt NPs are believed to offer unprecedented benefits in catalysis by tuning the catalysts durability.…”
