In this study, hexagonal NiO nanodisks fabricated by hydrothermal protocol were used to successfully determine the presence of Fentanyl. The electrochemical sensor, modified with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and HG-NiO-NDs, showed potent electrochemical behavior due to the synergism of these materials. By optimizing the conditions, including pH value, concentration, and sweep rate of supporting electrolytes, the developed electrode exhibited admirable performance in measuring Fentanyl. The results indicated the ability of the modified electrode to fabricate non-enzymatic Fentanyl sensor applications.
Fentanyl was successfully determined in the current effort based on hexagonal NiO nanodisks (HG-NiO-NDs) fabricated by the hydrothermal protocol. The synergism of HG-NiO-NDs with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), large specific surface area, and active material enabled the electrochemical sensor to show potent electrochemical behavior. Admirable performance was found for the fentanyl measurement by the MWCNT and HG-NiO-ND-modified pencil graphite electrode (MWCNT/HG-NiO-ND/PGE). The correlation of oxidation currents with the pH value, concentration, and sweep rate of supporting electrolytes was determined for the optimization of conditions to detect fentanyl. The surfaces of modified and unmodified electrodes were characterized as well. The diffusion-control processes were confirmed on the basis of anodic peak findings. The results also revealed a two-electron transfer process. The linear range was obtained to be 0.01-800.0 mu M for the fentanyl concentrations on the developed electrode, with the sensitivity of 0.1044 mu A/mM/cm(2). The limit of detection (S/N = 3) was 6.7 nM. The results indicated the ability of the modified electrode to fabricate non-enzymatic fentanyl sensor applications.
