Preparation of Electrochemical Sensor Based on Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles for Simultaneous Determination of AA, DA, and UA

Abstract

ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using a hydrothermal method. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction have been used for characterizing the synthesized ZnO NPs. An electrochemical sensor was fabricated using ZnO NPs–modified glassy carbon electrode for simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA). The proposed electrochemical sensor exhibited excellent detection performance toward three analytes, demonstrating that it can potentially be applied in clinical applications. The results indicated the ZnO NPs–modified electrode can detect AA in the concentrations range between 50 and 1,000 μM. The ZnO NPs–modified electrode can detect DA in the concentrations range between 2 and 150 μM. The ZnO NPs–modified electrode can detect UA in the concentrations range between 0.2 and 150 μM. The limits of detections of AA, DA, and UA using ZnO NPs–modified electrode were calculated to be 18.4, 0.75, and 0.11 μM, respectively.

“…Although the electrochemical methods of AA and CA detection are best compared to the counter components, uncoated bare electrodes still have some limitations and failures. Therefore, to overcome the limitations and shortcoming of those bare electrodes, a number of advanced techniques with many advantages such as high surface area, good stability and fast electron transfer kinetics, simple preparation, low cost, high specificity, and improved electrochemical and electrical properties have received extensive researcher's attention [ 8 ].…”

Cerium(IV) and Iron(III) Oxides Nanoparticles Based Voltammetric Sensor for the Sensitive and Selective Determination of Lipoic Acid

“…are of interest as far as they provide a high effective area of the sensors, high selectivity, and sensitivity of target analyte determination [21,22]. Sensors based on SnO 2, TiO 2 , Fe 2 O 3 , Fe 3 O 4, ZnO, and CeO 2 NPs show sensitive and selective response to natural phenolic antioxidants [23][24][25][26][27][28][29], neuromediators [30][31][32][33], and some pharmaceuticals [34][35][36][37][38]. Electrochemical inertness of this type of NPs is another advantage providing registration of its own redox signal of the target analytes which improves the selectivity of their detection.…”

Highly Stable Buffer-Based Zinc Oxide/Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanosurface Chemistry for Rapid Immunosensing of SARS-CoV-2 Antigens

“…Nanomaterials are considered as an inseparable component in the initial phase of fabricating highly sensitive electrochemical biosensors. Zinc oxide (ZnO), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene (Gr), , and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been introduced as “elite” materials, offering enhancing sensitivity for electrochemical sensing. − Various forms of ZnO have been used for electrochemical biosensing; − thanks to their unique properties for creating active sites with a large surface area as well as owning to their high isoelectric point (IEP) of 9.5 contributing to the absorption of biological components such as proteins. , Being an attractive material for electrochemical biosensor fabrication, graphene ,, has also been utilized prevalently as a companion element with ZnO in sensing devices, − for example, for enzymatic and nonenzymatic detection of glucose, , endorphins, and ascorbic acid . It is worth noting that the coexistence of the graphene and ZnO assists the uniform dispersion of the ZnO NPs inside the mixture .…”
