摘要

This study presents a CuO/NiO/MWCNT-modified electrode that exhibits supercapacitor behaviour and simultaneous neurotransmitter sensing, enabling its potential use in self-powered biosensors. The composite was synthesised via a co-precipitation method, and its structural and chemical composition was confirmed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Vis spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), demonstrating successful functionalisation and enhanced surface area. The electrochemical response of the modified glassy carbon electrode (MWCNT/CuO/NiO/MGCE) was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), revealing highly selective and sensitive detection of dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) with detection limits of 0.87 µM (DA) and 0.65 µM (5-HT). The well-separated oxidation peaks with a peak-to-peak separation of 131 mV confirmed interference-free simultaneous quantification. Additionally, the electrode exhibited a specific capacitance of 48.3 F/g at 10 mV/s, indicating stable charge storage performance. These findings establish the CuO/NiO/MWCNT-modified electrode as a strong candidate for integrated self-powered biosensors, where the synergy between charge storage and biosensing functionalities can enable real-time, autonomous neurotransmitter monitoring.
