Electrochemical detection of diclofenac and clindamycin using ZnO nanorods/RGO nanocomposite modified electrode.

ABSTRACT: A new electrochemical sensor based on electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods was developed for the determination of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (Diclofenac) and antibiotic drug (Clindamycin) for applications in human health monitoring. Graphene oxide (GO) and ZnO nanorods were synthesised by Hummer's and hydrothermal methods, respectively. The ZnO/GO composite (1 : 1 ratio) was prepared using the sonochemical method. As-prepared GO, ZnO, and ZnO/GO nanocomposite materials are characterised by UV-vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDAX), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Zeta potential/Dynami
