Novel nickel(II) phthalocyanine/reduced graphene oxide: an electrochemical sensing platform for analysis of hydroquinone and chloramphenicol in environmental samples.

Novel tetra-2-(biphenyl-4-yl)-1,3-benzoxazol-carboxamide nickel(II) phthalocyanine (NiTBPBXCAPc) and rGO were confirmed using FT-IR, UV-vis, XRD, TGA and Raman spectra. The NiTBPBXCAPc and rGO nanocomposite has been developed to detect hydroquinone (HQN) and chloramphenicol (CPC). NiTBPBXCAPc has been examined using cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis.

Development of novel microsphere structured - calcium tungstate as efficacious electrocatalyst for the detection of antibiotic drug nitrofurantoin.

In this report, synthetic and nitro groups containing antibiotic drug nitrofurantoin (NFT) were electrochemically quantified under amended conditions using novel constructed calcium tungstate microspheres modified on glassy carbon electrodes (CTMs/GCE). The calcium tungstate microspheres (CTMs) were synthesized by a facile sonochemical method and characterizations were done by various techniques, such as X-ray diffraction spectrometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Ahead of this, electrochemical investigations were performed using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), amperometry, and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV).

CdO Decorated with Polypyrrole Nanotube Heterostructure: Potent Electrocatalyst for the Detection of Antihistamine Drug Promethazine Hydrochloride in Environmental Samples.

In the realm of electrochemical sensor application, the development and fabrication of semiconducting metal oxides with the integration of conducting polymers for the trace-level detection of pharmaceutical medicines garnered considerable interest. Herein, we reported facile cadmium oxide decorated with polypyrrole nanotubes fabricated on a glassy carbon electrode (CdO@PPy/GCE) for efficient determination of antihistamine drug promethazine hydrochloride (PMH). The as-synthesized CdO@PPy composite was characterized by various analytical tools like X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
