Abstract

A sensitive and selective nanostructured zinc oxide-based chemically modified screen-printed electrode as an electrochemical interface for the electroanalytical determination of nitrite ions at trace concentration level is demonstrated. Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized through a green chemical approach. The resulting particles have been thoroughly analyzed using spectroscopic techniques. The aqueous colloidal solution of well-characterized NPs is prepared and subsequently applied in the chemical modification of screen-printed electrodes. Electrochemical techniques have been to explore the electrochemical nature of the chemically modified interface. Cyclic voltammetry was used to decipher activity for the electro-oxidation of nitrite and differential pulse voltammetry has been used to achieve lower detection limits. The developed sensor showed a dynamic range of up to 800 μM with a detection limit of 0.5 μM. Finally, the long-range analytical applicability has been validated by determining the nitrite levels from various real samples like borewell and sewage water, orange, sweet lemon, tomato, and egg samples. The sensor showed good stability with a deviation of ± 7 %.
