Abstract
A highly sensitive MWCNTs paste electrode (MWCNTPE) modified with chitosan-nickel complex (Chit-Ni2+) was designed for the efficient electrochemical determination of uric acid (UA). The MWCNTPE surface is drop-coated with the Chit-Ni2+ complex. The electroanalytical performance of Chit-Ni2+ complex modified MWCNTPE toward UA is thoroughly analyzed using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Experimental results reveal that Chit-Ni2+ complex modified MWCNTPE exhibits superior electrochemical performance toward determination of UA as compared to bare MWCNTPE. The voltammetric sensitivity of Chit-Ni2+ complex modified MWCNTPE toward UA oxidation was significantly improved, with a typical peak potential of 0.39 V (vs. SCE) in LiCl solution (0.1 M) at pH 2.4. Chit-Ni2+ complex modified MWCNTPE exhibited a linear current response (R2 ~ 0.999) in the range of 0.05–144.3 µM UA. The limit of detection (LOD) limit for the Chit-Ni2+ complex modified MWCNTPE is found to be 0.01 µM. The Chit-Ni2+ complex modified MWCNTPE was highly selective for the electrochemical determination of UA even in the presence of other potential biomolecular interfering species.
