We have developed a highly sensitive sensor of ZnFe₂O₄/reduced graphene oxide (ZnFe₂O₄/RGO) nanocomposite for electrochemical detection of hydrazine, fabricated by a simple hydrothermal protocol. Subsequently, a screen-printed electrode (SPE) surface was modified with the proposed nanocomposite (ZnFe₂O₄/RGO/SPE), and revealed an admirable electrocatalytic capacity for hydrazine oxidation. The ZnFe₂O₄/RGO/SPE sensor could selectively determine micromolar hydrazine concentrations. The as-produced sensor demonstrated excellent ability to detect hydrazine due to the synergistic impacts of the unique electrocatalytic capacity of ZnFe₂O₄ plus the potent physicochemical features of RGO such as manifold catalytic sites, great area-normalized edge-plane structures, high conductivity, and large surface area. The hydrazine detection using differential pulse voltammetry exhibited a broad linear dynamic range (0.03–610.0 µM) with a low limit of detection (0.01 µM).

We developed a novel hydroxylamine sensor through the surface modification of screen-printed electrode (SPE) with NiCo₂O₄ nanoparticles/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanocomposite (NiCo₂O₄/RGO/SPE). We assessed the electrochemical response of hydroxylamine on the as-fabricated sensor, confirming the high electrocatalytic impact of hydroxylamine oxidation. The electrode produced sensitively responded to hydroxylamine under optimized conditions, with a low limit of detection (2.0 nM) and broad linear dynamic range (0.007–385.0 µM). The presence of NiCo₂O₄ combined with the modification of RGO resulted in sensitive detection and signal amplification of hydroxylamine oxidation. The proposed sensor was used to determine the existence of hydroxylamine in water samples.
