Enhancing Adrenaline Sensing with Lanthanum Cuprate: A Promising Approach for a Novel Sensor

Electrochemical sensing is an excellent analytical means with multiple applications. Most of the electrochemical developments are based on the novel electrochemically active substrates. A lot of them have been adopted from other fields of material science. Every new class of functional materials has impacted on the development of electroanalytical chemistry. In this view, lanthanide cuprates, a well recognized high temperature superconducting materials were considered for adrenaline sensing. Obtained from corresponding oxides, a highly crystalline La 2 CuO 4 found to be a suitable substrate for analytical method development. It inherited sponge-like morphology common for the most of the previously reported lanthanum cuprates with narrow pore size distribution at 400–700 nm. Excellent charge mobility and low resistivity provided a carbon paste electrode with improved linearity range and low limit of detection. Repeatability and stability of the developed sensor were at satisfactory level. Sensor functionality was verified on the real samples with excellent recovery rates. With this work we suggest further development of electroanalytical methods with application of lanthanide cuprates. The paper explores method for adrenaline sensor by using lanthanum cuprate. Utilizing lanthanum cuprate as a component for sensitive and accurate detection. The implemented technique involves modifying the properties of the sensor. A detailed characterization of lanthanum cuprate, was done.
