Abstract
The authors describe an electrochemical dopamine sensor that is based on the use of electrochemically co-reduced graphene oxide (Er-GO) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on an indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode. The synergistic effects of Er-GO and Er-AuNPs promote electron transport in the modified ITO. This results in an excellent performance for voltammetric sensing of dopamine (DA). Under the optimum conditions and a typical working potential of -0.05V (vs. Ag/AgCl), the ITO electrode has a linear response in the 0.02-200μM DA concentration range and a low detection limit of 15nM. The sensor also showed a good selectivity over ascorbic acid and uric acid. The feasibility of the method was studied by analyzing DA in cerebrospinal fluid of rats. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of one-step electrochemical co-reduction of graphene oxide (GO) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on anITO electrode for voltammetric sensing of dopamine.
