Considering that simultaneous detection of xanthine (XA) and hypoxanthine (HXA) has been proved to be a reliable and feasible method for assessing fish freshness, a novel electrochemical sensing platform based on the ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2 modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was constructed in this study for XA and HXA determination. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were performed to exhibit the morphology and structural characteristics of ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) displayed that the introduction of UiO-66-NH2 can improve the specific surface area of the hybrid. Besides, the electrochemical sensing performance of ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2 was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). For simultaneously detecting XA and HXA, the fabricated electrochemical sensor shows wide linear ranges (0.025–40 µM and 0.3–40 µM) with low detection limits (0.0083 µM and 0.1 µM). This sensor also has 96–103% recovery in detecting XA and HXA content in large yellow croaker meat samples, demonstrating a promising application in the marine food industry.

Sensitive Detection of 8‐Hydroxyquinoline in Cosmetics by Using a Poly(tannic acid)‐Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

AbstractTannic acid (TA) as a natural plant polyphenol bearing multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups could cause considerable interactions with organic compounds. This work aims at detecting 8‐hydroxyquinoline (8‐HQ) based on poly (tannic acid) (PTA) by electropolymerization of TA on glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Owing to enhanced modified electrode surface area and interactions of PTA with 8‐HQ via hydrogen bonding and π‐π stacking, PTA/GCE exhibits electrocatalytic activity to 8‐HQ. Using Differential pulse voltammetry, PTA/GCE shows two linear plots with 8‐HQ concentrations from 0.5 to 5 μmol L−1 and 5 to 50 μmol L−1, the detection limit is 0.036 μmol L−1. The PTA modified electrode also shows great reproducibility and stability. The application of the sensor for real hair conditioner samples is demonstrated with satisfactory result.

Electrochemical sensor for the detection of dopamine using carbon quantum dots/copper oxide nanocomposite modified electrode

This paper presented a facile fabrication of an electrochemical sensor from carbon quantum dots CQDs and copper oxide (CuO) nanocomposite for dopamine detection. Individual components of the sensor and the composite were characterized with UV–visible, FT-IR, EDS, XRD spectroscopy, and microscopic methods such as the SEM and TEM. The nanocomposite (CQDs/CuO) was applied for modification of glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The electroanalysis of DA at CQDs/CuO nanocomposite modified GCE showed that DA detection can best be achieved at about 0.3 V. The detection limit of this sensor (GCE/CQDs/CuO) determined via square wave voltammetry (SWV) was 25.40 µM over a wide linear range of 1–180 µM. This sensor also demonstrated outstanding reproducibility even though it has relatively low stability. The percentage recovery of dopamine from dopamine hydrochloride injection obtained with this sensor confirmed its suitability for DA detection in pharmaceutical samples and possibly some other dopamine-containing real samples.

A novel method was established to determine BPA with a detection limit of 0.008 μM. The applicability of the prepared sensor was demonstrated to determine BPA in real samples with high recoveries.

Fabrication of Novel Potentiometric Sensor for Lead Ion Detection in Blood Samples: Experimental and Theoretical Approaches

One of the significant health problems in some developing countries such as Iran is lead toxicity. Potentiometric plasticizer-free Pb2+ selective electrode based on a simple and biocompatible ionophore, curcumin, for lead (II) detection in erythrocytes have been developed. Glassy carbon electrode modification was done with curcumin as an ionophore. Curcumin and its interaction with lead (II) were characterized using FT-IR, FE-SEM, and UV–Vis spectroscopic techniques. Match potential method (MPM) was applying for determining selectivity coefficients of the proposed sensor. Furthermore, the structures were optimized in various media for both tautomeric structures of curcumin, and then the binding mechanism was supported by DFT calculation, being in a high correlation and agreement by experiment. Also, noncovalent interaction studies were done to obtain a description of the sensing process. The fabricated ISE based on photocurable self-plasticizing (n-butylacrylate) membrane with curcumin shows a potentiometric response with a Nernstain slop of 28.348 ± 0.68 mV per decade in a linear range from 1.0 × 10-9 to 1.0 × 10-2 and detection limit of 3.98 × 10-10 M. The sensor' s response time was about 20 s at room temperature. The sensor shows a sensitive detection of Pb2+ in human erythrocytes and standard solutions.

In this work, new electrochemical sensors based on the modification of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)—rare metal oxides (REMO) nanocomposites were fabricated by drop-to-drop method of MWCNTs-REMO dispersion in ethanol. REMO nanoparticles were synthesized by precipitation followed by hydrothermal treatment at 180 °C in absence and presence of TritonTM X-100 surfactant. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) analysis using MWCNTs-CeO2@GCE and MWCNTs-Yb2O3@GCE sensors were used for the analysis of sulfisoxazole (SFX) drug in water samples. The results of CV analysis showed that MWCNTs-REMO@GCE sensors have up to 40-fold higher sensitivity with CeO2 compared to the bare GCE sensor. The estimated values of the limit of detection (LoD) of this electrochemical sensing using MWCNTs-CeO2@GCE and MWCNTs-Yb2O3@GCE electrodes reached 0.4 and 0.7 μM SFX in phosphate buffer pH = 7, respectively. These findings indicate that MWCNTs-REMO@GCE electrodes are potential sensors for analysis of sulfonamide drugs in water and biological samples.
