Unraveling the Effect of the Chemical and Structural Composition of ZnxNi1−xFe2O4 on the Electron Transfer at the Electrochemical Interface

“…[ 53 ] This is evident from the fact that Ni ferrite is an inverse spinel material with Ni(II) sharing the octahedral and tetrahedral sites with Fe(III). [ 24,25 ]…”

“…[16,17] The use of spinel ferrites nanomaterials has emerged as a performing approach to produce new catalytic materials in electrochemical applications such as energy storage, [18,19] supercapacitors, [20,21] fuel cells, [22,23] and electrochemical sensors. [24,25] Ferrite-based electrochemical sensors on different carbon-based platforms such as carbon paste, glassy carbon, and screenprinted carbon electrodes have been studied in sensing different biomolecules over the years. [15,[26][27][28] Several authors [24,25] deeply investigated the synthesis methods and electrochemical sensing applications of MFe 2 O 4 (M = Mg, Ni, Co, Mn, Cu, and Zn).…”

[15,[26][27][28] Several authors [24,25] deeply investigated the synthesis methods and electrochemical sensing applications of MFe 2 O 4 (M = Mg, Ni, Co, Mn, Cu, and Zn). Among the several species, ZnFe 2 O 4 was the most performing and it was used in electrochemical sensors as a sensing material for the detection of dopamine, [29] H 2 O 2 , [30][31][32] heavy metals Hg þ2 , Pb þ2 , Cu þ2 , and glucose [26,33] while NiFe 2 O 4 in sensing nitrite, [15] paracetamol, acetone, folic acid, [17,[34][35][36] H 2 O 2 , [37] and glucose.…”

A Review of Advanced Multifunctional Magnetic Nanostructures for Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy Integrated into an Artificial Intelligence Approach

“…In fact, since the CoFe 2 O 4 can be prepared easily and the excipients do not interfere with the determination of analytes, this presented method represents an excellent alternative to quality control tools and shows excellent analytical performance in determining OXY and COD simultaneously. Meanwhile, several ferrites, including CuFe 2 O 4 , ZnFe 2 O 4 , and MgFe 2 O 4 , as well as their metal and carbon nanocomposites, are being developed as electrochemical biosensors for cancer detection [ 184 , 185 , 186 ]. Because of their cost-effectiveness, rapid detection, and simple operational procedure, ferrite materials are proven to be alternative electrode materials to magnetite nanomaterials and their noble metal nanocomposites.…”

An on-site and portable electrochemical sensing platform based on spinel zinc ferrite nanoparticles for the quality control of paracetamol in pharmaceutical samples

“…26,27 Particularly, many research and review articles have investigated and summarized the use of various spinel nanostructures such as spinel ferrite (AFe 2 O 4 ), spinel cobaltite (MCo 2 O 4 ), and zinc oxide spinel (ZnB 2 O 4 ) as electrochemical sensors. 27–29 In recent work, our group developed a series of electrochemical sensors based on AFe 2 O 4 (A = Zn, Co, Mn, Ni, Cu), BCo 2 O 4 (B = Zn, Cu), and ZnFe 2 O 4 /ZnO hetero-nanostructures for the highly sensitive detection of various types of analytes including chloramphenicol, furazolidone, carbaryl, and clenbuterol. 30–34 Therefore, the electrochemical sensing platform and spinel oxide nanostructures are expected to provide a promising combination for quickly and accurately analysing as well as quantifying pharmaceutical tablets.…”
