Abstract: | This study reports the synthesis and characterization of a novel nanostructure-based electrode for electrochemical studies and determination of captopril (CP). At first manganese titanate nanoceramics were synthesized by the sol–gel method. The structural evaluations of the pure nanopowders were investigated by different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Then it was used to prepare a new nanostructured manganese titanate carbon paste electrode (MnTiO3/CPE). The characterization of the modified sensor was carried out by comprehensive techniques such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), SEM, and voltammetry. Subsequently, the modified electrode was used for CP catalytic oxidation in the presence of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) as a mediator. The results showed that PABA has high catalytic activity for CP oxidation. The electrochemical behavior of CP was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), chronoamperometry (CHA), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques. Under the optimized conditions, the catalytic oxidation peak current of CP showed two linear dynamic concentration ranges of 1.0 × 10−8 to 1.0 × 10−7 and 1.0 × 10−7 to 1.0 × 10−6, with a detection limit of 1.6 nM (signal/noise = 3), using the DPV technique. Finally, the proposed method was successfully applied for determination of CP in pharmaceutical and biological samples. |
