This Bismuth (III) oxide modified gold electrode was fabricated succesfully using an electrochemical method and characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), potential-controlled electrochemical deposition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), photoluminescence (PL) and UV visible spectroscopy techniques. The ease of fabrication, excellent electrochemical performance and high electroactive surface area are the promising features of the fabricated sensor. This modified electrode was used for the detection of methimazole in pharmaceutical formation in 1 mM K-3[Fe(CN)(6)] containing 0.1 M KCl. The fabricated sensor can be used for sensitive and selective determination of many pharmaceuticals owing to their sensitivity, specificity, speed response and low cost of analysis.
