A novel modified electrode has been successfully constructed with the use of a nano-composite mixture consisting of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Its application as a cholesterol biosensor was investigated. The morphology of the prepared MoS2-AuNPs nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The physicochemical properties of the modified electrode at each stage of the construction were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Quantitative analysis of cholesterol was carried out with the use of the amperometric i–t method, and the calibration plot for cholesterol was linear in the range of 0.5–48 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.26 ± 0.015 μM. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant ( K M a p p ) and sensitivity were estimated to be 0.325 mM and 4460 μA mM−1 cm−2, respectively. This novel sensor produced satisfactory reproducibility and stability, and was used successfully for the quantitative analysis of cholesterol in egg yolk and pork liver samples.
