ABSTRACTAn electrochemical glucose sensor based on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods is fabricated, characterized and tested. The ZnO nanorods are synthesized on indium titanium oxide (ITO) coated glass substrate, using the hydrothermal sol-gel technique. The working principle of the sensor under investigation is based on the electrochemical reaction taking place between cathode and anode, in the presence of an electrolyte. A platinum plate, used as the cathode and Nafion/Glucose Oxidase/ZnO nanorods/ITO-coated glass substrate used as anode, is immersed in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution electrolyte to test for the presence of glucose. Several amperometric tests are performed on the fabricated sensor to determine the response time, sensitivity and limit of detection of the sensor. A fast response time less than 3 s with a high sensitivity of 1.151 mA cm-2mM-1 and low limit of detection of 0.089 mM is reported. The glucose sensor is characterized using the cyclic voltammetry method in the range from -0.8 – 0.8 V with a voltage scan rate of 100 mV/s.

Zinc oxide nanorods were grown on Si (100) and Platinum coated glass substrate by the aqueous chemical growth (ACG) in aqueous solution that contained zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2•6H20) and hexamethylenetetramine (C6H12N4). The obtained ZnO nanorods are uniformly distributed on the Platinum coated glass substrate surface from 1.5 h to 3 h growth time. Branched hexagonal rods were also found growth on these uniform nanorods. Branched hexagonal rods were found on Si (100) from 2 h to 3 h growth time. A small number of flower-like structures compared to the majority oval type structure suggest that secondary nucleation had occurred during the process of growth. All of the high intensity peaks, including the strong (101) peak, are assigned to wurtzite ZnO hexagonal indicating that the product is pure ZnO. The results found in this study revealed that the type substrate plays a role in determining the surface morphology of ZnO growth.

Abstract:Glucose sensor based on ITO/ZnO NRs/GOx/nafion is fabricated and tested under different glucose concentrations. Hydrothermal growth method along with sol-gel technique is used to grow high quality ZnO nanorods that have well-alignment and high density with an acceptable aspect ratio. The as-grown of ZnO nanorods are used to fabricate a working electrode that can be used for glucose detection in blood after a modification process with GOx and nafion membrane. Annealing at 110 °C helped in improves the crystallinity of the seed layer and as a result, a high density and well alignment as-grown ZnO nanorods were obtained. High sensitivity and short response time were obtained from the fabricated device with an acceptable lower limit of detection.

Lanthanum modified lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) thin films were fabricated on indium doped tin oxide (ITO) - coated glass substrate by sol-gel method. The structure of the films was characterized with XRD and SEM. In the case of PLZT the dielectric function was modelled as a sum of Lorentzian oscillators and found by fitting the transmittance and reflectance spectra measured at normal incidence in the wavelength range of 220-2400 nm. The anomalous behaviour of dielectric function was observed below the absorption edge that was suggested to be due to formation of some defect states. The evolution of the absorption edge as well as dielectric function with film thickness was observed and discussed.

A modest, efficient, and sensitive chemically modified electrode was fabricated for sensing curcumin (CRC) through an electrochemically polymerized titan yellow (TY) modified carbon paste electrode (PTYMCPE) in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) approaches were used for CRC detection. PTYMCPE interaction with CRC suggests that the electrode exhibits admirable electrochemical response as compared to bare carbon paste electrode (BCPE). Under the optimized circumstances, a linear response of the electrode was observed for CRC in the concentration range 2 × 10−6 M to 10 × 10−6 M with a limit of detection (LOD) of 10.94 × 10−7 M. Moreover, the effort explains that the PTYMCPE electrode has a hopeful approach for the electrochemical resolution of biologically significant compounds. Additionally, the proposed electrode has demonstrated many advantages such as easy preparation, elevated sensitivity, stability, and enhanced catalytic activity, and can be successfully applied in real sample analysis.

Electrochemical characteristics of carvacrol were investigated on a screen-printed electrode (SPE) modified with La2O3/Co3O4 nanocomposite by using voltammetric techniques, which displayed a well-defined peak for sensitive carvacrol determination in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH 7.0. La2O3/Co3O4 nanoparticles demonstrated suitable catalytic activity for carvacrol determination by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique. Besides, determination of carvacrol in a real samples was recognized in the light of electrochemical findings and a validated voltammetric technique for quantitative analysis of carvacrol in a real formulation was proposed. The DPV peak currents were found to be linear in the concentration range of 10.0 to 800.0 μM. The limit of detection (LOD) was found to be 1.0 μM.
