Abstract
Urea is heavily used in the urea and ammonia industries, which produce greenhouse gases that cause climate change and contribute considerably to global warming. Nanostructured green synthesis of titanium dioxide (GS-TiO2-NPs) using Trigonella foenum-graceum leaf extract, employed for electrochemical urea sensing platform. The prepared GS-TiO2-NPs and the fabricated urease-immobilized Urs/GS-TiO2-NPs/ITO bioelectrode were characterized using various techniques, including FTIR, UV–Vis, XRD, TEM, and AFM, to analyze their structural, optical, and morphological properties. The urea was detected in a range of concentrations with minimal interference using the recently fabricated enzyme-based bioelectrode, which had a limit of detection value of 2.28 × 10−2 µM. The sensitivity, response time, stability and reusability are 5.52 µA µM−1cm−2, 35 s, 60 days, and 13 times respectively for bioelectrode. The proposed urea biosensor has demonstrated its effectiveness in monitoring urea concentration in human blood samples as well as the environment. Its high sensitivity to urea at varying concentrations makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring urea detection.
