Electrocatalytic reduction of nitrofurantoin in biological sample based on assembly of ScMo anchored f-MCNNcs modified GCE

•The electrochemical sensing of Nitrofurantoin (NFT) drug using ScMo@f-MCNNcs material which was prepared by a simple ultrasonication method and characterized well with electronic and microscopic studies.•The ScMo@f-MCNNcs/GCE nanomaterial proved its superior performance compared with other reported nanomaterial.•Nanocomposite exhibits an excellent selectivity, lower LOD = 9.3 nM and broader linear range of 0.01–180 µM.•The as-prepared nanomaterial also used in the determination of real sample analysis which displays good recovery results.•Finally, the obtained result proved that ScMo@f-MCNNcs/GCE showed its high sensitivity along with good stability and reproducibility.
