Abstract

A novel ferric oxide/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (\(\hbox {Fe}_{2}\hbox {O}_{3}\)/MWCNTs)-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was prepared by drop casting \(\hbox {Fe}_{2}\hbox {O}_{3}\)/MWCNTs onto the surface of GCE. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image shows that the \(\hbox {Fe}_{2}\hbox {O}_{3}\)/MWCNTs has a nanostructure. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) results show that the \(\hbox {Fe}_{2}\hbox {O}_{3}\)/MWCNTs-modified GCE presents excellent electrochemical activity in the presence of 1 mM nitrite in a 0.1 M phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to compare the \(\hbox {Fe}_{2}\hbox {O}_{3}\) and MWCNTs-modified GCE. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) results also show that the \(\hbox {Fe}_{2}\hbox {O}_{3}\)/MWCNTs has excellent electrocatalytic performance to nitrite in a pH 7.0 PBS. The amperometric response result shows that the \(\hbox {Fe}_{2}\hbox {O}_{3}\)/MWCNTs-modified GCE can be used to detect nitrite concentration in a wide linear range of \(10\textendash 1000\, \upmu \hbox {M}\) with a detection limit of \(0.1\, \upmu \hbox {M}\).
