ECS Sensors Plus is pleased to highlight a recent contribution that showcases the power of material innovation in enhancing electrochemical sensing technologies. In their new article, “Application of a g-C₃N₄@nZVI/CNTs Modified Carbon Paste Electrode for Uric Acid Detection in Spiked Urine Samples,” Aya A. Mouhamed, Ola G. Hussein, Maria Osama Mekhail, Tony Victor Zaki, Amr M. Mahmoud, and Jeffrey G. Bell present a promising approach for accurate, sensitive uric acid detection.
The research team developed a carbon paste electrode modified with a uniquely engineered g-C₃N₄@nZVI/CNT nanocomposite. By combining graphitic carbon nitride’s high surface area, nano zero-valent iron’s catalytic activity, and carbon nanotubes’ conductivity, the authors created a synergistic platform capable of boosting electron transfer and improving analytical performance.
