Oxalic acid (OA), naturally available in vegetables and foodstuffs derived from them, easily combines with calcium and iron to form insoluble oxalates. Their chelation will result in various renal diseases; thus, the accurate determination of OA is quite significant in the evaluation of food quality and healthcare settings. Here, we developed an electrochemically induced alcohol-free sol-gel method to obtain platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) adhered with porous silica on glassy carbon electrode (PSiO₂-PtNPs/GCE) by a one-step process, which can be potentially used as an excellent catalyst towards electrochemical oxidation of OA for the first time. Without any redox mediator, PSiO₂-PtNPs/GCE exhibited a low oxidation overpotential and a significantly high current signal, achieving a wide linear range of concentration from 0 to 45 μM and a detection limit as low as to 25 nM for OA detection. Moreover, this present alcohol-free sol-gel approach towards OA determination was verified in real samples, which is promising for foodstuff analysis and clinical diagnosis. Graphical abstract
