Fabrication of Hexagonal CuCoO2 Modified Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode for the Selective Electrochemical Detection of Furaltadone

Furaltadone (FTD) is one of the veterinary drugs from the class of nitrofuran. Mostly the toxicity of the organic elements is very harmful, hence the toxic nature of FTD affects human health and the biosphere by inappropriate exuding of organic toxic elements. The as-prepared inorganic complex was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. Hydrothermally prepared copper-cobalt oxide (CuCoO2) is adorned on an activated screen-printed carbon electrode (ASPCE) for the detection of FTD by electrochemical methods which are Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), and Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV). The fabricated ASPCE/CuCoO2 electrode exhibits outstanding limits of detection (1.79 nM), high sensitivity (21.03 mu A mu M-1 cm(-1)), and broad linear range (0.1-316 mu M). The study of interference represents that metal ions and the nitro group have no impact on the FTD determination. Consequently, the ASPCE/CuCoO2 electrode reveals creditable for repeatability, reproducibility, and stability. Notably, this sensing platform also exhibits excellent performance in determining the FTD contents in Antibiotic samples, which suggests great potential for real-time applications.
