Xanthine sensor development based on ZnO–CNT, ZnO–CB, ZnO–GO and ZnO nanoparticles: an electrochemical approach

Abstract

The wet-chemical method was used to prepare the various ZnO–CNT, ZnO–CB, ZnO–GO nanocomposites, and ZnO nanoparticles in higher pH medium, which were finally utilized with 5% nafion to produce a thin film of NCs/Nafion/GCE sensor that has a faster response towards selected xanthine with higher sensitivity, lower detection limit, and large linear dynamic range by electrochemical approach.
