Abstract
A glassy carbon (GC) electrode was modified with MnO2/GO and AgNPs/MnO2/GO composite materials. After electrochemical reduction, the reduced MnO2/ErGO and AgNPs/MnO2/ErGO materials exhibited large electrochemical active surface areas of 0.079 cm2 and 0.087 cm2, respectively; the charge transfer resistance (Rct) was relatively small, at 0.188 kΩ and 0.077 kΩ, respectively. In this study, two antibiotics, namely chloramphenicol (CAP) and tinidazole (TNZ) were adsorbed onto the surface of MnO2/ErGO-GCE, and the antibiotic ofloxacine (OFX) was adsorbed onto the surface of AgNPs/MnO2/ErGO-GCE. The results show that the adsorption process took place within 3 minutes and followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model with saturation adsorption capacities of 1,310.16, 1,873.41, and 1,140.93 mg.g-1, respectively. For the anti-inflammatory drug piroxicam (PRX), the diffusion process across the solution – AgNPs/MnO2/ErGO-GCE electrode interface was more dominant than the adsorption process, with the diffusion process occurring rapidly within less than 30 s. This study provides further insights into the mechanism of the diffusion-adsorption processes of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents on electrode-modified surfaces.
