UA is a biomedical compound that plays a vital role in human metabolism. The abnormal level of UA leads to several diseases. TiO2 and Cu-TiO2 with various concentrations were deposited on glass substrates by spray pyrolysis technique. The structural study shows by X-ray diffraction analysis shows that all the films are in anatase phase with tetragonal structure and confirm the incorporation of Cu ions into TiO2 lattice. The morphology and chemical composition of TiO2 and Cu-TiO2 were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). These studies reveal that the aggregation of particles occurs due to doping and confirm the presence of Cu. The optical analysis was studied by UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy, which indicates the band gap changes, shift in absorption peak and defects. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was used to analyse the performance of the Cu-TiO2 as the electrochemical biosensor. Cu-TiO2 electrochemical biosensor exhibits good sensitivity, linearity and high stability for the detection of UA.

Journal Article 2024 02 07 In this paper, we report the synthesis of tin oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles by co-precipitation technique. The structural, surface morphology, thermal and optical properties of the SnO2 samples were analysed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectrum, thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA/DTA), photoluminescence spectrum (PL) and UV–Vis spectroscopy techniques. X-ray diffraction patterns showed the SnO2 crystallites with the tetragonal rutile structure and UV-Vis analysis showed the characteristic absorbance peak at 345 nm. In the PL emission spectrum, three peaks were found at 500, 605 and 651nm, due to the oxygen vacancy defect. Finally, Hall coefficient was also estimated for various values of an applied magnetic field and bias current applied to the SnO2 sample. From the detailed study, it has been found that the prepared sample is an n-type semiconductor.

Journal Article 2024 02 07 In the present work, a new sensor for morphine (MO) measurement, based on modification of screen-printed carbon electrode (SPE) by using magnetic core shell manganese ferrite nanoparticles was reported. The electrochemical behaviour of MO was investigated in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0) by voltammetry. The electrochemical response of the modified electrode toward morphine was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and chronoamperometry (CHA). The modified electrode displayed a decrease in the overpotential (ca. 80 mV) and an obvious increase in the peak current was observed compared to the non-modified SPE. The results indicated that modified screen-printed electrode enhanced electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of MO. Under the optimized conditions the calibration curve for MO was linear from 0.1 – 600.0 μM and the detection limit based on 3Sb/m was 0.02 µM. The application of the proposed method in analysis of real sample was also evaluated and satisfactory results were obtained.
