A surface modified electrode and a method of preparing the surface modified electrode are provided. The surface modified electrode includes a glassy carbon electrode and a coating of a compound of formula I disposed on the glassy carbon electrode. The present disclosure also relates to a method of preparing the surface modified electrode. The method includes depositing a slurry of the compound of Formula I on the glassy carbon electrode to form a film and coating a polymer matrix on the film to obtain the surface modified electrode. The present disclosure also relates to a method of preparing the compound of Formula I. The method includes condensing 4-bromobenzaldehyde (4-BBD) and 4-methyl-benzenesulphonylhydrazine (4-MBSH), to obtain a first mixture and precipitating the first mixture to obtain the compound of Formula I. The surface modified electrode is used in an electrochemical sensor for the detection of metal ions. 

Electrochemical sensor for detection of heavy metal ions, and methods of preparation thereof

A surface modified electrode is provided. The surface modified electrode includes a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and a nanomaterial disposed on the glassy carbon electrode. The nanomaterial comprises carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and at least one of thallium oxide nanoparticles (TlO.NPs), thallium oxide (TlO) nanopowder, and thallium oxide carbon nanotube nanocomposites (TlO.CNT NCs). A polymer matrix is configured to bind the glassy carbon electrode with the nanomaterial. A method of preparing the surface modified electrode is also disclosed. The surface modified electrode can be implemented in a biosensor for detecting a biological molecule, like choline.
