Abstract
In this paper, Pt-PEDOT/reduced graphene oxide (Pt-PEDOT/rGO) nanocomposites were facilely prepared by a simple and cost-effective one-pot method. The obtained nanocomposites were characterized and confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectra. As expected, the Pt-PEDOT/rGO nanocomposites modified glassy carbon electrode (Pt-PEDOT/rGO/GCE) exhibited higher charge transfer efficiency and electrocatalytic activity to the oxidation of caffeic acid (CA) in comparison with the bare GCE, rGO and Pt-PEDOT modified electrodes (rGO/GCE and Pt-PEDOT/GCE). Furthermore, the Pt-PEDOT/rGO/GCE showed a wide linear range of 5.0 × 10−9 to 5.0 × 10−5 M with a low detection limit of 2.0 × 10−9 M (S/N = 3) for the determination of CA. More experiments indicated that the Pt-PEDOT/rGO/GCE performed superior reproducibility, selectivity and long-term stability. Finally, the modified electrode was also applied to detect CA in green tea and black tea samples with promising recovery and application prospect.
