Abstract
In this work, a novel chelating adsorbent, 2, 4-dithiobiuret-reduced graphene oxide composite (DTB-RGO), was synthesized and worked as an electrochemical sensor for the determination of Pb2+. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy were used to confirm the successful doping of the aminothiourea groups into the GO nanosheets through amide bond. The electrode modified with DTB-RGO shows two wide linear range 0.1–200 ng mL−1, 200–1000 ng mL−1 and relatively low detection limit 0.08 ng mL−1 for Pb2+, far below the level of 10 ng mL−1 proposed by WHO. This DTB-RGO modified electrode also presents satisfying selectivity, reproducibility, stability, and applicability for detection of Pb2+, providing a simple and promising platform to develop novel electrochemical sensor for detecting Pb2+ with higher performance.
