Lactate is a metabolite that holds significant importance in human healthcare, biotechnology, and the food industry. The need for lactate monitoring has led to the development of various devices for measuring lactate concentration. Traditional laboratory methods, which involve extracting blood samples through invasive techniques such as needles, are costly, time-consuming, and require in-person sampling.

In the current study, bismuth ferrite (BFO) nanoparticles were synthesized by auto-combustion technique. The synthesized BFO particles have the average crystallite size of 33 nm and band gap energy of 1.

X-ray diffractogram (XRD) of the particles showed the formation of mixed-phase BFO nanoparticles containing BiFeO/BiFeO phases with the crystallite size of 70 nm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed the formation of quasi-spherical particles.

X-ray diffractogram (XRD) showed the formation of PANI-TiO nanocomposite with the average crystallite size of 46 nm containing anatase TiO. The PANI-TiO nanocomposite consisted of short-chained fibrous structure of PANI with spherical TiO nanoparticles dispersed at the tips and edge of the fibres.
