    Abstract:
    The present study is a first report about magnetic, optical and electrical as well as drug sensing properties of DyMnO3-ZnO green-nanocomposites that are synthesized by Pechini modified method. Three natural compounds containing Vitis vinifera, Hibiscus sabdariffa and rhus juices are used as green and eco-friendly reagents for synthesis of the nanostructures. The nanostructures are characterized by various techniques containing Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), field emission scanning electron microscopes (FESEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The calcination temperature, type of chelating agent and pH are optimized to achieve the best structural and smallest crystallite sizes of the systems via an eco-friendly approach. The studies show that the Vitis vinifera juice creates the best homogeneous sphere-like nanostructures. Therefore, the samples that are synthesized by Vitis vinifera juice are used for fabrication of a carbon paste electrode modified with DyMnO3-ZnO nanocomposites (DMZN/CPE). The nanostructured modified electrode exhibits an excellent electrocatalytic effect for determination of atenolol (ATN) using voltammetry techniques. The results reveal that the DyMnO3-ZnO green-nanocomposites have potential applications as a sensitive material in the drug analysis in biological samples.
