Abstract
A novel electrochemical sensor has been constructed by using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) coated with nafion/sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS). Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used to study the electrochemical behaviors of dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA). An optimum of 5 mM SDBS together with 0.05 wt% of nafion was used to improve the resolution and the determination sensitivity successfully. In 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.5), the modified electrode exhibited high electrocatalytical activity toward the oxidation of DA and UA with obvious reduction of overpotential. Compared with bare GCE, the modified electrode resolved the voltammetric response of DA and UA into two well-defined voltammetric peaks by DPV, which can be used for simultaneous determination of these species in mixture. The peak currents obtained from DPV were linearly related to the concentrations of DA and UA in the ranges of 4.0 × 10−7–8.0 × 10−5 M and 4.0 × 10−6–8.0 × 10−4 M, respectively. The detection limit of DA and UA (signal-to-noise ration was 3) were 5.0 × 10−8 and 4.0 × 10−7 M, respectively.
