Abstract: | In the present work, we report on the synthesis of crump-like nickel manganous oxide nanoparticles decorated partially reduced graphene oxide (NiMnO@pr-GO) nanocomposite through high-intensity ultrasonic bath sonication (ultrasonic frequency = 37 kHz and power = 150 W). The NiMnO@pr-GO nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was then employed for the electrochemical reduction of detrimental metronidazole (MNZ). The crystalline phase and formation of the NiMnO@pr-GO nanocomposites were confirmed by X-ray diffraction and other spectroscopic techniques. The cyclic voltammetry results demonstrate that this NiMnO@pr-GO nanocomposite modified GCE has a lower reduction potential and higher catalytic activity towards MNZ than do NiMnO and GO modified GCEs. Under optimized conditions, the fabricated NiMnO@pr-GO electrode can detect metronidazole over a wide linear range with a lower limit of detection of 90 nM. The sensitivity of the sensor was 1.22 µA µM-1cm−2 and was found to have excellent selectivity and durability for the detection of MNZ. |
