title: Imprinted sol-gel electrochemical sensor for the determination of benzylpenicillin based on Fe3O4@SiO2/multi-walled carbon nanotubes-chitosans nanocomposite film modified carbon electrode.
abstract: Herein, a novel imprinted sol-gel electrochemical sensor based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) doped with chitosan film on a carbon electrode has been developed. Prior to doped, the MWNTs have been decorated with Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles which have been coated uniformly with SiO(2) layer. The characterization of imprinted sensor has been carried out by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The performance of the proposed imprinted sensor has been investigated using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The imprinted sensor offers a fast response and sensitive benzylpenicillin quantification. The fabricated benzylpenicillin imprinted sensor exhibits a linear response from 5.0×10(-8) to 1.0×10(-3) mol L(-1) with a detection limit of 1.5×10(-9) mol L(-1). For samples analysis, perfect recoveries of the imprinted sensor for benzylpenicillin indicated that the imprinted sensor was able to detect benzylpenicillin in real samples successfully.
