CuBiO Synthesis, Characterization, and Application in Sensitive Amperometric/Voltammetric Detection of Amoxicillin in Aqueous Solutions.

CuBiO synthesized by thermolysis of a new Bi(III)-Cu(II) oxalate coordination compound, namely BiCu(CO)·0.25HO, was tested through its integration within carbon nanofiber paste electrode, namely CuBi/carbon nanofiber (CNF), for the electrochemical detection of amoxicillin (AMX) in the aqueous solution. Thermal analysis and IR spectroscopy were used to characterize a CuBiO precursor to optimize the synthesis conditions.
