[PMID: 38832283 PMCID: PMC11145211 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
The presence of heavy metals often causes significant health risks, particularly cadmium, which is known for its high toxicity. In this study, a glassy carbon electrode was successfully modified by incorporating ZnO-PVA-Graphene nanocomposite, leveraging the excellent electrical properties and electron mobility of the material. Comprehensive material analysis, including XRD, confirmed that ZnO maintained its hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure despite the addition of graphene. Moreover, FESEM analysis showed that increasing graphene concentration led to a reduction in ZnO particle size by 85, 68, and 52 nm, respectively, accompanied by a decrease in band gap energy, as verified by UV-Vis measurements. Photoluminescence tests were also conducted and the result showed a noticeable blue shift in ZnO-PVA-Graphene nanocomposites compared to ZnO-PVA, specifically in the near band-edge (NBE) UV emission within the 374-379 nm wavelength range. Through I-V characterization, the optimal graphene concentration for cadmium detection was identified as 1.5 wt% in ZnO-PVA-Graphene nanocomposites, showing an approximate ohmic response. Meanwhile, square-wave voltammetry analysis of cadmium concentrations ranging from 0 to 80 ppm produced a coefficient of determination of 0.98926 and a Limit of Detection (LOD) of 9.88 ppm. These results showed the significant potential of ZnO-PVA-Graphene nanocomposites as a promising material for further development as an effective electrode modifier, enhancing the sensitivity of detection systems.

Electrochemical HPLC Determination of Piperazine Antihistamine Drugs Employing a Spark-Generated Nickel Oxide Nanoparticle-Modified Carbon Fiber Microelectrode. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:5038-5045. [PMID: 38313503 PMCID: PMC10831984 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c09474] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024]
Abstract
In this work, we demonstrate a sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the determination of piperazine antihistamine drugs employing innovative electrochemical detection based on a spark-generated nickel oxide nanoparticle-modified carbon fiber microelectrode built into a miniaturized electrochemical detector. The direct carbon fiber-to-nickel plate electrode spark discharge, carried at 0.8 kV DC, with the nickel electrode connected to the negative pole of the high-voltage power supply, provides extremely fast (1 s) in situ tailoring of the carbon fiber microelectrode surface by nickel oxide nanoparticles. It has been found that nickel oxide nanoparticles exhibit an electrocatalytic effect toward the piperazine moiety electrooxidation process, as confirmed by voltammetric experiments, revealing the shift in the peak potential from 1.25 to 1.09 V versus Ag/AgCl. Cetirizine, cyclizine, chlorcyclizine, flunarizine, meclizine, and buclizine were selected as sample piperazine antihistamine drugs, while diclofenac served as an internal standard. The isocratic reversed-phase separation of the above set was achieved within 15 min using an ARION-CN 3 μm column with a binary mobile phase consisting of 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 3) and methanol (45/55, v/v). The limits of detection (LOD) were within the range of 3.8-120 nM (for cyclizine and buclizine) at E = +1500 mV (vs Ag/AgCl), while the response was linear within the concentration range measured up to 5 μmol L-1. The method was successfully applied to the determination of piperazine antihistamine drugs in spiked plasma samples.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting (MI) technology has been used in electrochemical analysis technology because of its unique selectivity and specificity. In this work, an electrochemical sensor based on in-situ inorganic MI-Au-MoO3/graphene for bisphenol A (BPA) analysis is designed, where MI-MoO3 is hybridized with graphene nanosheets and Au nanoparticles, and BPA is acted as the temple molecular. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used to evaluate the sensing performance of the MI-Au-MoO3/rGO sensor toward BPA determination and it is about 2.0 times that of NI-Au-MoO3/rGO. The as-constructed sensor presents a wide linear range from 0.01 to 106.04 μM and a low limit of detection of 0.003 μM. It also displays outstanding stability and repeatability up to 20 days, and can be used to analyze the content of BPA in dust leachate and plastic bottle. This sensor offers a promising strategy for environment pollution and food analysis via MI technology.

Abstract
The present study involves detecting and determining CIP by a new electrochemical sensor based on graphene (Gr) in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) employing voltammetric techniques. Surface morphology studies of the sensing material were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). In the electroanalysis of CIP at the developed electrode, an enhanced anodic peak response was recorded, suggesting the electro-oxidation of CIP at the electrode surface. Furthermore, we evaluated the impact of the electrolytic solution, scan rate, accumulation time, and concentration variation on the electrochemical behavior of CIP. The possible electrode mechanism was proposed based on the acquired experimental information. A concentration variation study was performed using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in the lower concentration range, and the fabricated electrode achieved a detection limit of 2.9 × 10-8 M. The proposed sensor detected CIP in pharmaceutical and biological samples. The findings displayed good recovery, with 93.8% for tablet analysis and 93.3% to 98.7% for urine analysis. The stability of a developed electrode was tested by inter- and intraday analysis.

Abstract
The antibiotic drug trimethoprim (TMP) is used to treat bacterial infections in humans and animals, and frequently TMP is used along with sulfonamides. However, a large portion of TMP is excreted in its active state, which poses a severe problem to humans and the environment. A sensitive, rapid, cost-effective analytical tool is required to monitor the TMP concentration in biological and environmental samples. Hence, this study proposed an analytical methodology to analyze TMP in clinical, biological and environmental samples. The investigations were carried out using a glucose-modified carbon paste electrode (G-CPE) employing voltammetric techniques. Electrochemical behavior was examined with 0.5 mM TMP solution at optimum pH 3.4 (Phosphate Buffer Solution, I = 0.2 M). The influence of scan rate on the electro-oxidation of TMP was studied within the range of 0.05 to 0.55 V/s. The effect of pH and scan rate variations revealed proton transfer during oxidation. Moreover, diffusion phenomena governed the irreversibility of the electrode reaction. A probable and suitable electrode interaction and reaction mechanism was proposed for the electrochemical oxidation of TMP. Further, the TMP was quantitatively estimated with the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique in the concentration range from 9.0 × 10-7 to 1.0 × 10-4 M. The tablet, spiked water and urine analysis demonstrated that the selected method and developed electrode were rapid, simple, sensitive, and cost-effective.
