Abstract

Bi2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized by solution combustion method and utilized for fabrication of an electrochemical sensor [carbon paste electrode modified with Bi2O3 (CPE-Bi2O3)] for nevirapine (NVP). Electrode materials were characterized by XRD, FTIR, TG-DTA, AFM and SEM-EDS methods. CPE-Bi2O3 was electroreduced (Er) in KOH in the potential range of -1.3-0V to obtain CPE-ErBi2O3. CPE-ErBi2O3 exhibited electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of NVP. Under optimized conditions, linearity between the peak current and NVP concentration was observed in the range of 0.05-50μM. Further, the sensor was used for the assay of NVP in tablets and biological samples.
