Abstract—In this study, a simple and high sensitive electrochemical sensor is developed for the detection of fluoxetine (FXT) on a silver electrodeposited-carbon nanofiber-epoxy (AgCNFE) electrode. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) method was used for the comparative electrochemical behavior of FXT on AgCNFE, commercial silver electrode (Ag) and carbon nanofiber-epoxy (CNFE) composite electrode. A synergic effect in relation to the sensitivity for FXT detection was found on AgCNFE electrode versus commercial Ag electrode and CNFE electrode. Chronoamperometry (CA) results show that AgCNFE electrode exhibited a great potential for the real practical application in FXT detection without possible interference.
