Abstract
In this study, titanium nanotube electrodes were decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs/TiO2NTs) and used as an electrocatalyst for the reduction of tinidazole. AgNPs/TiO2NTs are constructed by anodization of titanium sheet metal and photochemical deposition of AgNPs on TiO2NTs. The structural and elemental analysis characteristics of the AgNPs/TiO2NT electrode have been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. Based on the cyclic voltammetric data, it has been confirmed that the AgNPs/TiO2NT electrode has good electrocatalytic activity to reduce tinidazole. Two liner concentration ranges of 0.2-55.0 μM and 55.0-111.2 μM were obtained by amperometric method. A detection limit of 60.9 nM was obtained for measuring tinidazole at the AgNPs/TiO2NT electrode surface. In addition, the designed sensor has been successfully used for quantitative measurement of tinidazole in pharmaceutical and human urine samples.
