The design and development of inexpensive, portable, and eco-friendly electrochemical non-enzymatic sensors is crucial in the field of analytical chemistry. In this study, a highly porous nanocomposite material was developed for efficient detection of rutin, a type of vitamin P. The material exhibited excellent conductivity and electrocatalytic characteristics, and a sensor based on this material was successfully used for real-time detection of rutin in various samples.
Design and development of inexpensive, portable, and eco-friendly electrochemical non-enzymatic sensors with high selectivity and sensitivity is pivotal in analytical chemistry. In this regard, we have developed a highly porous graphitic-activated carbon (GAC, derived from tamarind fruit shell biomass) coated iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanocomposite (Fe2O3/GAC) for the efficient detection of rutin (vitamin p). Fe2O3/GAC nanocomposite was prepared using a facile green synthesis method and thoroughly characterized using SEM, XRD, and XPS techniques. As-prepared Fe2O3/GAC nanocomposite was deposited over a screen printed electrode (SPE) to fabricate Fe2O3/GAC/SPE and utilized as a non-enzymatic sensor for the electrochemical determination of rutin in food and environmental samples. The modified electrode was characterized using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques, which witnessed the excellent conductivity of the developed sensor. The fabricated Fe2O3/GAC/SPE nanocomposite exhibited a set of redox peaks in the presence of rutin, corresponding to the electrochemical redox feature of rutin (rutin to 3 & PRIME;,4 & PRIME;-diquinone). Further, the modified electrode displayed excellent electrocatalytic characteristics towards the oxidation of rutin, based on which a differential pulse voltammetry-based sensor was developed for rutin determination. The developed non enzymatic sensor has shown prominent performance towards rutin detection in a wide linear range from 0.1 to 130 mu M with an excellent detection limit of 0.027 mu M. The enhanced electrocatalytic response could be ascribed to the synergistic effect of Fe2O3 and GAC on the developed probe. Moreover, the developed sensor was successfully utilized for real-time detection of rutin in various samples.
