Abstract
Levodopa and uric acid are important neurotransmitters associated with many neurological diseases. Abnormal concentrations of levodopa and uric acid in biological fluids can be used for the evaluation of such diseases. In this work, three-dimensional graphene foam (3D GF) was prepared by chemical vapor deposition. ZnS nanoparticles were in-situ grown on the surface of 3D GF (ZnS NPs/3D GF) using a simple hydrothermal method, which was used to simultaneously determinate levodopa and uric acid. The results show that a porous mesh film made up of ZnS NPs with the diameter of 200 nm is evenly covered on the surface of 3D GF. The ZnS NPs/3D GF electrode exhibits a high sensitivity of 2.34 and 2.39 μA·μM−1·cm−2 for the detection of levodopa and uric acid, respectively. Also, it shows a low limit of detection, excellent selectivity, good anti-interference ability and stability. Moreover, the electrode was successfully used in human plasma samples.
