Abstract
The curcumin derivative, referred to as Ferrocenyl-curcumin (Fc-cur), has been utilized for the selective and sensitive electrochemical detection of the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA). The negatively charged Nafion-coated ferrocenyl-curcumin-modified gold electrode (NRFc-cur@AuE) facilitates enhanced electron transfer kinetics, while simultaneously suppressing the oxidative processes of ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) on the modified electrode. The electrochemical performance of the proposed sensor was rigorously characterized using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). We systematically explored the electrochemical oxidation behavior of dopamine and its selectivity through a combination of CV, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and chronoamperometric (CA) methodologies. Remarkably, this sensor demonstrates an extensive linear detection range of 10–80 nM, with a sensitivity of 0.1768 μA·cm⁻²/nM and an impressive detection limit of 1.004 ± 0.13 nM for dopamine oxidation. Furthermore, the NRFc-cur modified gold electrode has proven its practical utility through successful analysis of real-world samples, showcasing its potential for impactful applications in neurochemical research and diagnostics.
