Abstract
The preparation and study of electrochemical properties of a graphite screen-printed electrode (SPE) modified with the GO/Fe3O4@SiO2 (GO is graphene oxide) nanocomposites are described. The morphologies of the GO/Fe3O4@SiO2 nanocomposites were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical oxidation of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) on SPE modified with the GO/Fe3O4@SiO2 nanocomposite was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and chronoamperometry. Under optimum conditions (pH 7.0), the vitamin B6 oxidation at the surface of the modified SPE occurs at a potential about 190 mV less positive than that at the unmodified SPE. A linear voltammetric response for vitamin B6 was obtained in the concentration range 1.0•10 6—9.0•10 4 mol L–1 with a detection limit of 5.2•10 7 mol L–1 using differential pulse voltammetry. The developed sensor was also successfully applied for determination of trace level of vitamin B6 in both the standard vitamin B6 sample and biological samples (urine).
