Zinc Oxide/Phosphorus-Doped Carbon Nitride Composite as Potential Scaffold for Electrochemical Detection of Nitrofurantoin. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12100856. [PMID: 36290993 PMCID: PMC9599398 DOI: 10.3390/bios12100856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2022] [Revised: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Herein, we present an electrocatalyst constructed by zinc oxide hexagonal prisms/phosphorus-doped carbon nitride wrinkles (ZnO HPs/P-CN) prepared via a facile sonochemical method towards the detection of nitrofurantoin (NF). The ZnO HPs/P-CN-sensing platform showed amplified response and low-peak potential compared with other electrodes. The exceptional electrochemical performance could be credited to ideal architecture, rapid electron/charge transfer, good conductivity, and abundant active sites in the ZnO HPs/P-CN composite. Resulting from these merits, the ZnO HPs/P-CN-modified electrode delivered rapid response (2 s), a low detection limit (2 nM), good linear range (0.01-111 µM), high sensitivity (4.62 µA µM-1 cm2), better selectivity, decent stability (±97.6%), and reproducibility towards electrochemical detection of NF. We further demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed ZnO HPs/P-CN sensor for detecting NF in samples of water and human urine. All the above features make our proposed ZnO HPs/P-CN sensor a most promising probe for detecting NF in natural samples.

Abstract
A simple, sensitive and reproducible squarewave cathodic adsorptive stripping voltammetric method has been developed for the determination of nitrofurantoin in solubilized system. The objective of the present paper is to investigate the redox behaviour of nitrofurantoin by using different voltammetric techniques and to establish the methodology for its determination in the presence of surfactants. Voltammograms of the drug with cetrimide in phosphate buffers of pH 2-11 exhibited a single well-defined reduction peak which may be attributed to the reduction of -NO(2) group. The reduction process is irreversible over the entire pH range studied. The mechanism of reduction has been postulated on the basis of controlled potential electrolysis, coulometry and spectral analysis. The proposed SWCAdSV voltammetric method allows the determination of nitrofurantoin in linear concentration range 2 x 10(-5) to 1 x 10(-7) mol L(-1). The lower limit of detection (LOD) and lower limit of quantification (LOQ) are 0.06 and 0.27 ng/mL, respectively.
