The (en)-CuAP nanocrystals were synthesized by hydrothermal method. This material was designed rarely with it envelop good records in the characterization part, and morphologies also very clearly shown in the FE-SEM and HR-TEM analysis. The monoclinic phase of the (en)-CuAP nanocrystals functional groups was identified to the best coincide nature of the FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy studies. The obtained band gap energy is 2.65eV, which were lower than the other metal phosphate materials. Moreover, (en)-copper aminophosphate was tested to the electrochemical fabrication of the Phloroglucinol and Riboflavin, herewith phloroglucinol is an anodic peak and Riboflavin is better reduction peaks were appeared in the cyclic voltammetry studies. Hence, (en)-CuAP nanocrystals was electrochemically optimized both conditions, and its gives good transition at low concentrations. The modified electrodes have large surface area, high conductivity, and high catalytic activity of (en)-CuAP/GCE. The proposed sensors are high sensitivity for Phloroglucinol and Riboflavin detection and it was successfully developed with better performance of the electrochemical sensor. The (en)-CuAP nanocrystals have better reusability performance and enhanced to an excellent photocatalytic activities and antibacterial activities. •(en)-CuAP nanocrystals were synthesized by hydrothermal method.•The electrochemical fabrication of the Phloroglucinol and Riboflavin.•(en)-CuAP nanocrystals were better reusability and excellent photocatalytic activity.•(en)-CuAP nanocrystals have enhanced antibacterial activity.
