    Sensing with the aid of metal oxides and CNTs is the most vibrant field of electrochemical science, which endows an ambit for various innovative and novel functions with a variety of applications. Enzymatic sensors are costly, lack of stability, have difficult immobilization techniques as well as electrodes used for electrochemical analysis of neurotransmitter concentrations are also unable to monitor the potential of these species. Besides, sensors with the most robust and reliable electrodes generally tend to deteriorate over months of use. Therefore, a study has been designed to synthesize CNTs based metal oxides nanoparticles by green synthesis method using the lignin as a modifier and reducing agent. The synthesize materials have been characterized by different techniques, i.e. SEM, XRD, and FTIR for surface morphology, determination of nanostructure, and functionalization of surface. The synthesized materials such as C2O3@CNTs/lignin, and CuO@CNTs/lignin have been used for the surface modification of glassy carbon electrode (GCE). These composites are supposed to be used as a promising material for dopamine sensing by giving excellent electrochemical properties.
