Designing a TiO2-MoO3-BMIMBr nanocomposite by a solvohydrothermal method using an ionic liquid aqueous mixture: an ultra high sensitive acetaminophen sensor

This study shows a simplistic, efficient procedure to synthesize TiO2-MoO3-BMIMBr nanocomposites. Powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy have all been used to completely analyse the materials. The detection of acetaminophen (AC) has been examined at a modified glassy carbon electrode with TiO2-MoO3-BMIMBr nanocomposites. Moreover, the electrochemical behavior of the nanocomposite modified electrode has been studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), chronoamperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The linear response of AC was observed in the range 8.26–124.03 nM. The sensitivity and detection limits (S/N = 3) were found to be 1.16 μA L mol−1 cm−2 and 11.54 nM by CV and 24 μA L mol−1 cm−2 and 8.16 nM by DPV respectively
