Abstract:The thiocyanate (SCN -) level in human saliva, serum, and blood has been considered as a biomarker for analyzing the practice of cigarette smokers. Here, we have developed a highly sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor for SCN -in phosphate buffer using an Ag@Cu bimetallic nanorods (NRDs) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The bimetallic Ag@Cu NRDs were grown on the GCE surface by a simple seedmediated growth method. Initially, Ag seeds were deposited on the Nafion coated GCE. The deposited Ag se… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
