Abstract

A study of keracyanin chloride (KC) electrochemical behavior in an aqueous buffer solution using screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) and glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) was performed. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square-wave voltammetry (SWV) were used to analyze the electrochemical response of KC under studied conditions. A clear redox wave was observed for KC, primarily due to the oxidation of the catechol 3′,4′-dihydroxyl group of its ring B, with a minor redox wave from oxidation of the hydroxyl groups in ring A. Compared to GCEs, using modified SPCEs resulted in two-fold amplification in the electrochemical oxidation signal of KC. Using SPCEs as a working electrode could provide high sensitivity in the quantification of KC and the ability to gauge KC quantification to significantly lower detection limits.
