Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) decorated carbon nanofibers (CNFs) have been prepared by an electrospinning approach and then carbonized. The prepared Au-CNFs were employed to modifying a screen printed electrode (SPE) for simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA). Au NPs are uniformly dispersed on carbon nanofibers were confirmed by the structure and morphological studies. The modified electrodes were tested in cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and chronoamperometry (CA) to characterize their electrochemical responses. Compared to bare SPE, the Au-CNFs/SPE had a better sensing response to AA, DA, and UA. The electrochemical oxidation signal of AA, DA and UA are well separated into three distinct peaks with peak potential separation of 280 mV, 159 mV and 439 mV between AA-DA, DA-UA and AA-UA respectively in CV studies and the corresponding peak potential separation in DPV studies are 290 mV, 166 mV and 456 mV. The Au-CNFs/SPE has a wide linear response of AA, DA and UA in DPV analysis over the range of 5–40 µM (R2 = 0.9984), 2–16 µM (R2 = 0.9962) and 2–16 µM (R2 = 0.9983) with corresponding detection limits of 0.9 µM, 0.4 µM and 0.3 µM at S/N = 3, respectively. The developed modified SPE based sensor exhibits excellent reproducibility, stability, and repeatability. The excellent sensing response of Au-CNFs could reveal to a promising approach in electrochemical sensor.
期刊介绍:
Carbon Letters aims to be a comprehensive journal with complete coverage of carbon materials and carbon-rich molecules. These materials range from, but are not limited to, diamond and graphite through chars, semicokes, mesophase substances, carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, graphenes, carbon blacks, activated carbons, pyrolytic carbons, glass-like carbons, etc. Papers on the secondary production of new carbon and composite materials from the above mentioned various carbons are within the scope of the journal. Papers on organic substances, including coals, will be considered only if the research has close relation to the resulting carbon materials. Carbon Letters also seeks to keep abreast of new developments in their specialist fields and to unite in finding alternative energy solutions to current issues such as the greenhouse effect and the depletion of the ozone layer. The renewable energy basics, energy storage and conversion, solar energy, wind energy, water energy, nuclear energy, biomass energy, hydrogen production technology, and other clean energy technologies are also within the scope of the journal. Carbon Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of carbon science and technology.
