Abstract
Natural compounds like Rutin (RT) are widely utilized in medical settings, making it crucial to evaluate the efficacy and scientific basis of drugs derived from such sources. This study focuses on the synthesis of oxides of cerium and barium (CeO2/BaO) doped with MXene (Ti3C2Tx) compounds through a straightforward wet chemical etching process and sonochemical technique to facilitate the rapid detection of RT using a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor. Electrocatalytic reactions rely on electrical energy, while photocatalytic reactions use light energy to generate oxidizing agents. The integration of light and electrical energy in photoelectrocatalytic oxidation, utilizing semiconducting nanostructures, has proven effective for oxidizing RT. Using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), we investigated the PEC properties of RT on a CeO2/BaO@Ti3C2Tx modified electrode, assessing its stability and sensitivity to change in pH, loading, sweep rate, and potential interferences. The CeO2/BaO@Ti3C2Tx modified electrode exhibits rapid RT detection under optimal conditions, with a linear detection range of 0.1–1.4 μM, and a low detection limit of 1.16 nM. PEC analysis also revealed that the CeO2/BaO@Ti3C2Tx electrode maintains cyclic stability and robust anti-interference performance. This nanocomposite showed satisfactory recovery rates when detecting RT in lemon, orange, and grape samples. Compared to other potential interfering substances, the sensor demonstrated high selectivity and resistance to interference. Consequently, this research advances the development of PEC sensors for biomedical and therapeutic applications.
