Abstract :
Gold nanoparticles have been attached on glassy carbon electrode surface through sulfhydryl-terminated monolayer and the gold nanoparticles-immobilized glassy carbon electrodes have been applied to the electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid, reducing the overpotential by about 200 mV with obviously increased current response. Due to its strong electrocatalytic activity towards ascorbic acid, the gold nanoparticles modified electrode can resolve the overlapped voltammetric waves of ascorbic acid and dopamine into two well-defined voltammetric peaks with peak-to-peak separation in potentials of about 300 mV. This can be used to allow the selective determination of ascorbic acid in the presence of dopamine. The catalytic current obtained from differential pulse voltammetry is linearly dependent on ascorbic acid concentration over the range of 6.5 × 10−6 to 1.45 × 10−4 M with correlation coefficient of 0.998 in the presence of dopamine. The detection limit (3σ) for AA was found to be 2.8 × 10−6 M. The simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid and dopamine in their binary mixture has also been investigated. The modified electrode shows good selectivity, stability and anti-fouling properties. The proposed methods have been used for the selective determination of ascorbic acid in the presence of dopamine and for the simultaneous determination of both them in their mixtures with satisfactory results.
