Abstract
Graphene nanosheets (GSs) were prepared via liquid-phase non-covalent exfoliation of graphite powder in N,N-dimethylformamide under the assistance of copper(II) meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin tetrasodium salt Na4(CuTCPP). A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with a film of such GSs which, due to the good electrical conductivity of graphene and the electrocatalytic properties of Na4(CuTCPP), is capable of simultaneous determination of acetaminophen (AC) and dopamine (DA). The peak currents, best measured at voltage of 0.2V (for DA) and 0.4V (for AC; both vs. SCE), increase linearly in the 0.0024-3.6μM and 0.004-7.6μM concentration ranges, respectively. The detection limits are 0.8nM for DA and 0.7nM for AC. The sensor was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of AC and DA in pharmaceutical preparations and spiked human serum. The results were in good agreement with those obtained for the same samples by HPLC. Graphical abstract Graphene nanosheets were prepared via a facile liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite with the assistance of copper(II) meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin tetrasodium salt. A graphene nanosheet-film modified glassy carbon electrode was fabricated to determine acetaminophen and dopamine through a simple and effective strategy.
