Abstract
AbstractA new polyvinyl chloride (PVC)/tetrathiafulvalene‐tetracyanoquinodimethane (TTF‐TCNQ) composite electrode was prepared and tested for electroanalytical performance. Different PVC/TTF‐TCNQ–graphite proportions were used in order to obtain the best possible detector for accommodation in a wall‐jet electrochemical cell of use in flow injection analysis. A PVC/TTF‐TCNQ w/w ratio of 1/10 provided the best results in terms of sensitivity, coefficients of variation and mechanical resistance. The voltammetric and flow‐injection amperometric detection responses of the electrode to ascorbic acid (AA) were measured and compared with those of a PVC–graphite electrode. The resulting electrode provided good electrode kinetics with a low background current and a relatively reproducible signal. In addition, the electrode can be readily prepared and its surface readily renewed.
