Goal and objectives of the project | To develop electrochemical sensors based on hybrid nanostructures for tracing medical resdues on water sources (pain killers, antibiotics..) |
Main results | - Theoretical results: Design and fabricate several thin films adaptable for sensing platforms to analyse important compounds often found in pharmaceutical products such as paracetamol, metroxate, gliadin. The techniques to deposit materials onto electrode surfaces are mainly based on electrochemical approach.
- Applied results: The as-prepared sensors (size 1*2 cm2) are suitble for analysis of content of pharmaceutical compounds in human fluids; or components of medicines. Further investigations are needed to employ these sensors in analysis of the trace of pharmaceutical products in water sources with much lower content. |
Novelty and actuality and scientific meaningfulness of the results | We have developed new protocols to deposit thin films suitable for electrochemical sensors such as: AuNPs/rGO-PEDOT:PSS, rGO-CNT, rGO/MIP, Cu-BTC. The protocols to deposite carbonnanomaterials, metal nanoparticles, MIP films are inherited from our previous works. This is the first time we try to utilize electrochemical approach to deposit MOF crystals onto electrode surface. The use of electrochemical approach allows to much improve the homogeneity and electron transfer behavior of the films, thus enhance recorded electrochemical signals. In near future, we will further develop other thin films with well-designed structures that are promising for highly sensitive and selective sensing platforms. We have also successfully utilized the as-developed thin films in electrochemical analysis of paracetamol, metroxate, and gliadin. |
