High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide In this study, the preparation of Sm 2 CuZrO 6 double perovskites was carried out through the utilization of a sol–gel technique. The Sm 2 CuZrO 6 displayed notable conductivity, impressive electrocatalytic activity, and rapid electron transfer. The monitoring of risperidone (RIS) in tablet samples is greatly influenced by these properties. Various techniques for structural and morphological characterization were employed to confirm the formation of Sm 2 CuZrO 6 . The electrochemical properties of Sm 2 CuZrO 6 were assessed through utilization of cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). Interestingly, the Sm 2 CuZrO 6 exhibited a remarkable wide linear range of 50–500 nM, along with a detection limit of 10.62 nM. Notably, it demonstrated a sensitivity of 0.4038 μA μM –1 cm –2 . The constructed sensor demonstrated noteworthy selectivity, stability, and repeatability. To assess the practicality of RIS, its performance was monitored in the tablet sample, resulting in satisfactory recoveries.
