Abstract

A novel electroactive composite based on silicotungstic acid (SiW), poly-о-phenylenediamine (PPD) and reduced form of graphene oxide (RGO) was prepared by electrochemical synthesis on a planar screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) coated with graphene oxide (GO). The new material was shown to have expressed electrocatalytic activity for the example of electrochemical behavior of the p-benzoquinone/hydroquinone redox couple on the RGO-PPD-SiW-modified electrode. Unlike most composites containing heteropolyacid anions, RGO-PPD-SiW demonstrates its properties not only in an acid but also in a neutral saline solution. The potential cycling in a saline solution retains some cyclic voltammogram (CVA) peaks observed in 1 М H2SO4 environment. An addition of a local anesthetic of amide series (lidocaine, naropin, or chirocaine) to a saline solution was shown to change the CVA shape immediately. This example demonstrates that the novel composite may be further used in creating a sensor of planar design.
