Advanced Electrochemical Platforms for Selective and Simultaneous Detection of Emerging Pollutants

Abstract

This work investigates on the development of electrochemical sensing platforms and their applications in detecting target analytes. In the first part, phyto-analytic formation of Ag nanostructures was carried out using the bio-extract of Citrus limetta for ciprofloxacin detection. The developed sensor showed the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.199 μM. A 12.38% reduction in the peak current was noted up to the 10th reused cycle. Rapid delamination of surface-embedded catalysts remained a limitation.
