Abstract
This work reports the development of a three-dimensional graphene oxide structure on the screen-printed electrode surface for the detection of ascorbic acid. This electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, RAMAN spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The present work also investigated the electrochemical behavior of ascorbic acid and its electrooxidation mechanism on the three-dimensional graphene oxide surface. The detection of ascorbic acid was conducted by linear scanning voltammetry in the concentration range from 1.0 × 10−5 to 1.0 × 10−2 mol L−1, and the limits of detection and quantification obtained for the proposed electrode were 3.4 × 10−6 and 1.1 × 10−5 mol L−1 (n = 3), respectively. The device also exhibited excellent selectivity, repeatability, reproducibility and stability. The methodology developed was applied for the determination of ascorbic acid in grape and orange juice samples with an accuracy rate ranging from 99% to 105%. These results show that the proposed electrode can be safely and reliably applied for the monitoring of ascorbic acid in fruit juices.
