Abstract
Because elevated levels of caffeine intake can cause many health complications, it is necessary to develop an accurate, simple, rapid, and cost-effective methodology to quantify caffeine in commonly consumed products. This article discusses electrochemical methods to synthesize platinum-graphene hybrid nanosheets (Pt-GR), and how these methods can be utilized to create a new modified electrode, the platinum-graphene nanohybrid glass carbon electrode (Pt-GR/GCE). The electrochemical behavior of caffeine on Pt-GR/GCE was studied by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The results showed that a sensitive oxidation peak was observed at 1.336 V in 0.01 mol L-1 H2SO4 buffer solution, indicating that the Pt-GR/GCE exhibited a good electrooxidation activity towards caffeine. The detection limit is 1.129 × 10-7 mol L-1. The modified electrode was applied to the determination of caffeine in real samples with satisfactory electrocatalytic results.
