Abstract
We described a three-dimensional Mn3O4 microcubes (3D–Mn3O4MCs) synthesised via a facile hydrothermal route for the determination of nimorazole (NMZ), an important drug that used in the treatment of head and neck cancer. The 3D–Mn3O4 MCs possess large active area and high conductivity, and 3D–Mn3O4 MCs film modified screen-printed carbon electrode (3D–Mn3O4MCs/SPCE) was fabricated which displayed excellent electrocatalytic ability towards NMZ. Under optimised working conditions, the modified electrode responded linearly to NMZ in the 0.025–8060 µM concentration range and the detection limit was 6 nM. A rapid, sensitive, selective, reproducible, and durable sensor was described. The practical feasibility of the sensor was demonstrated in human serum and NMZ tablet samples. The obtained results revealed the potential real-time applicability of the sensing device in biological analysis and pharmaceutical formulations.
