In this study, we designed an electrochemical impedance based sensor by using molecularly imprinted fullerene modified pyrrole‐pyrrole‐3‐carboxylic acid copolymers on screen printed carbon electrode to monitor dopamine in real urine samples. All modifications were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Performance parameters of the developed sensor system were determined by calibration curve performed between 25 ng/mL and 250 ng/mL (R2= 0.9939). LOD and LOQ were 8.77 ng/mL and 26.6 ng/mL, respectively. The developed sensor method was compared with ELISA. The regression analysis between ELISA and the sensor analysis showed good correlation with R2= 0.979

In this study, tragacanth gum/chitosan/ZnO nanoprism-based electrochemical sensors were prepared for sensing reactive dyes in water. To use an electrochemical sensor, a ~250 nm-sized ZnO nanoprism was synthesized via ultrasonic-assisted green synthesis method, using tragacanth gum and chitosan polymer blend as a matrix. The electrochemical properties of tragacanth gum/chitosan/ZnO nanoprisms were compared against reactive red 35, reactive yellow 15, and reactive black 194. The electrochemical measurement results indicated that prepared tragacanth gum/chitosan/ZnO nanoprism-based electrochemical sensor detected 25 ppm reactive red 35 in 1 min at room temperature. This study reveals new high-potential novel tragacanth gum/chitosan/ZnO nanoprism-based sensing material for the detection of reactive red dye-consisted wastewater with high sensitivity and short response time.
