    Abstract:
    Cholesterol is essential in biological systems, and the level of cholesterol in the body of a person acts as a diagnostic marker for a variety of diseases. So, in this work, we fabricated an enzymatic electrochemical biosensor for cholesterol using cobalt ferrite@molybdenum disulfide/gold nanoparticles (CoFe2O4@MoS2/Au). The synthesized composite was used for the determination of cholesterol by voltametric methods. The electroactive material CoFe2O4@MoS2/Au was successfully verified from the physiochemical studies such as XRD, Raman, FT-IR, and XPS spectroscopy along with morphological FESEM and HRTEM characterization. CoFe2O4@MoS2/Au showed outstanding dispersion in the aqueous phase, a large effective area, good biological compatibility, and superior electronic conductivity. The microflower-like CoFe2O4@MoS2/Au was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. The image of transmission electron microscopy showed decoration of gold nanoparticles on CoFe2O4@MoS2 surfaces. Furthermore, a one-step dip-coating technique was used to build the biosensor used for cholesterol detection. In addition to acting as an enabling matrix to immobilize cholesterol oxidase (ChOx), CoFe2O4@MoS2/Au contributes to an increase in electrical conductivity. The differential pulse voltammetry method was used for the quantitative measurement of cholesterol. The calibration curve for cholesterol was linear in the concentration range of 5 to 100 μM, with a low limit of detection of 0.09 μM and sensitivity of 0.194 μA μM-1 cm-2. Furthermore, the biosensor demonstrates good practicability, as it was also employed for identifying cholesterol in real samples with acceptable selectivity and stability.
