Green-synthesized silver nanoparticles on sustainable screen-printed fabric electrode for enhanced uric acid detection
摘要
A sustainable carbon paste electrode (SCP) on a fabric substrate (SCP/Fabric) was successfully fabricated via a stencil printing method using activated carbon, beeswax, and virgin coconut oil. The electrode surface was subsequently modified with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized through a green method. The formation of AgNPs was confirmed by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and particle size analysis using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Surface modification of SCP/Fabric with AgNPs significantly enhanced the electrode’s electrochemical performance for uric acid (UA) detection, increasing its effective surface area by 21%. The AgNPs/SCP/Fabric electrode exhibited two linear response ranges: 0.010–1.00 mM (sensitivity: 33.329
