• −5 M solution of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) was taken as molecular probe. 0.01 g of ZFO was dispersed in 10 mL of the prepared NBT solution and irradiated under solar light for 1 h. After reaction, the catalyst was separated and the solution analysed in an UV spectrophotometer. Figure 11c shows the

For demonstrating the reproducibility and flexibility, three additional silicon probes and one Au-coated probe were modified under the same conditions. Results and Discussion To evaluate the results of the modification, a glass slide with
