Purpose The purpose of this study is to prepare various CeO2-based carbon material (CNT, CB, GO) nanocomposites through a wet chemical process for the development of a sensor probe to detect various environmental toxins by using an electrochemical approach under room temperature conditions. A comparative study on sensitive and selective phenolic sensor (4-methoxyphenol; 4-MP) has been fabricated by modifying a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with various nanocomposites (NCs) such as CeO2, CeO2–CNT (carbon nanotubes), CeO2–CB (carbon black) and CeO2–GO (graphene oxide) NCs. Design/methodology/approach The CeO2–CNT NCs were prepared by the wet chemical method at low temperature. NCs were characterized by various methods such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infra-red (FTIR), ultra-violet/visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and XRD (X-ray diffraction). CeO2–CNT NCs were immobilized as a film on the flat surface of the GCE by using binders (5% Nafion). The electrochemical measurements of the 4-MP detection with the CeO2–CNT NCs/Nafion/GCE sensor were studied by the current-voltage method. Findings In the optimal conditions, the sensitivity, detection limit and limit of quantification of 4-MP sensor probe were found to be 47.56 µAcm-2 µM−1, 12.0 ± 0.2 nM and 40.0 ± 0.5 nM (S/N of 3), respectively. Research limitations/implications This electrochemical sensor showed an acceptable analytical performance in the detection of 4-MP with higher sensitivity, lower detection limit, large dynamic concentration range, good reproducibility and fast response time. Practical implications This electrochemical approach can be applied practically for the determination of selective 4-MP in real environmental and extracted samples. Social implications CeO2–CNT NCs/Nafion/GCE sensor probe was used for the safety of environmental and health-care fields at larger scales. Originality/value This electrochemical approach is a significant achievement on the development of sensor probe. The results are indicated as being technically detailed with an up-to-date account of recent chemical sensor research studies.

In this approach, the performance of a newly developed sensor probe coated with low-dimensional Co3O4/Yb2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) in rapidly detecting 1,2-diaminobenzene was evaluated by an electrochemical technique. The sensor probe was fabricated by depositing a very thin layer consisting of synthesized Co3O4/Yb2O3 NPs using a 5% Nafion conducting binder onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The facile hydrothermally prepared Co3O4/Yb2O3 NPs were totally characterized by conventional methods such as FTIR, UV-vis, TEM, XPS, EDS, and XRD analyses. The fabricated chemical sensor probe was found to exhibit long-term activity, stability in electrochemical response, good sensitivity (5.6962 μAμM-1cm-2), lowest detection limit (0.02±0.001 pM), and broad linear dynamic range (0.1 pM to 0.01 mM). The observed performances suggest that the newly introduced sensor could play an efficient role in detecting 1,2-diaminobenzene especially in healthcare and environmental applications on a broad scale.

Herein, a novel copper-doped gadolinium oxide (Cu-doped Gd2O3; CGO) nanofiber was synthesized by a simple solution method in the basic phase and successfully characterized. We have used Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and Energy-Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) techniques for characterization of the CGO nanofiber. The CGO nanofiber was used later to modify Au-coated μ-Chips with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) polymer mixtures (coating binder) to selectively detect 4-cyanophenol (4-CP) in an aqueous medium. Notable sensing performance was achieved with excellent sensitivity (2.4214 µAµM−1 cm−2), fast response time (~12 s), wide linear dynamic range (LDR = 1.0 nM–1.0 mM: R2 = 0.9992), ultra-low detection limit (LoD; 1.3 ± 0.1 pM at S/N = 3), limit of quantification (LoQ; 4.33 pM), and excellent reproducibility and repeatability for CGO/Au/μ-Chip sensor. This CGO modified Au/μ-chip was further applied with appropriate quantification and determination results in real environmental sample analyses.

The facile wet-chemical technique was used to prepare the low-dimensional nano-formulated porous mixed metal oxide nanomaterials (CuO.Mn2O3.NiO; CMNO NMs) in an alkaline medium at low temperature. Detailed structural, morphological, crystalline, and functional characterization of CMNO NMs were performed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analyses. An efficient and selective creatine (CA) sensor probe was fabricated by using CMNO NMs decorated onto glassy carbon electrode (GCE) as CMNO NMs/GCE by using Nafion adhesive (5% suspension in ethanol). The relation of current versus the concentration of CA was plotted to draw a calibration curve of the CMNO NMs/GCE sensor probe, which was found to have a very linear value (r2 = 0.9995) over a large dynamic range (LDR: 0.1 nM~0.1 mM) for selective CA detection. The slope of LDR by considering the active surface area of GCE (0.0316 cm2) was applied to estimate the sensor sensitivity (14.6308 µAµM−1 cm−2). Moreover, the detection limit (21.63 ± 0.05 pM) of CMNO MNs modified GCE was calculated from the signal/noise (S/N) ratio at 3. As a CA sensor probe, it exhibited long-term stability, good reproducibility, and fast response time in the detection of CA by electrochemical approach. Therefore, this research technique is introduced as a promising platform to develop an efficient sensor probe for cancer metabolic biomarker by using nano-formulated mixed metal oxides for biochemical as well as biomedical research for the safety of health care fields.
