Abstract
Paracetamol (PA) is a commonly used analgesic and antipyretic drug, and excessive consumption can lead to hepatotoxicity. An rGO/PCA/GCE sensor was fabricated through the synergistic interaction between caffeic acid and reduced graphene oxide. The successful material modification was confirmed using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical characterization. The electrochemical behavior of PA on the sensor was investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Both CV and DPV exhibited a good linear relationship in the concentration range of 1.0–2000.0 μmol/L, with a limit of detection of 29.54 nmol/L. In the real sample detection, the relative standard deviations was less than 4.63 %, and the error rate was below 6.50 %. Through simulated electron cloud and electron orbital analysis, it was determined that the electro-oxidation process of PA involves two protons and two electrons.
期刊介绍:
The Microchemical Journal is a peer reviewed journal devoted to all aspects and phases of analytical chemistry and chemical analysis. The Microchemical Journal publishes articles which are at the forefront of modern analytical chemistry and cover innovations in the techniques to the finest possible limits. This includes fundamental aspects, instrumentation, new developments, innovative and novel methods and applications including environmental and clinical field.
Traditional classical analytical methods such as spectrophotometry and titrimetry as well as established instrumentation methods such as flame and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, gas chromatography, and modified glassy or carbon electrode electrochemical methods will be considered, provided they show significant improvements and novelty compared to the established methods.
