Electropolymerization of Thin Film Conducting Polymer and Its Application for Simultaneous Determination of Ascorbic Acid,Dopamine and Uric Acid

In this paper electropolymerization of a thin film of para‐phenylenediamine (PPD) is studied at glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in sulfuric acid media by cyclic voltammetry. The results showed that this polymer was conducting and had a reproducible redox couple in the potential region from 0.0 to 0.4 V in phosphate buffer solution. This modified GCE (p‐PPD‐GCE) was applied for simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA) using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The p‐PPD‐GCE in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 5.0) separated the DPV signals of AA, DA and UA with sufficient potential differences between AA–DA and DA–UA and also enhanced their oxidation peak currents. The oxidation currents were increased from 2.0 to 2000.0 µM for AA, 10.0 to 1250.0 µM for DA and 50.0 to 1600.0 µM for UA. The detection limits were evaluated as 0.4, 1.0 and 2.5 µM for AA, DA and UA, respectively (S/N=3).     

Selective determination of epinephrine in the presence of ascorbic acid and uric acid by electrocatalytic oxidation at poly(eriochrome black T) film-modified glassy carbon electrode.

An electropolymerized film of eriochrome black T (EBT) has been prepared at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The poly(EBT) membrane at GCE exhibits an excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of epinephrine (EP), ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) in acidic solution and reduced the overpotential for the oxidation of EP. The poly(EBT)-coated electrode could separately detect EP, AA and UA in their mixture with the potential differences of 180 and 160 mV for EP-AA and UA-EP, respectively, which are large enough to allow for determination of EP in the presence of AA and UA. Using differential pulse voltammetry, the peak current of EP recorded in pH 3.5 solution was linearly dependent on EP's concentration in the range of 2.5 - 50 microM. Due to its good selectivity and stability, the polymer-coated GCE was successfully applied to the determination of EP in real samples.     

Selective Detection of Uric Acid in the Presence of Ascorbic Acid and Dopamine Using Polymerized Luminol Film Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

Electrochemically polymerized luminol film on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface has been used as a sensor for selective detection of uric acid (UA) in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) and dopamine (DA). Cyclic voltammetry was used to evaluate the electrochemical properties of the poly(luminol) film modified electrode. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) have been used for surface characterizations. The bare GCE failed to distinguish the oxidation peaks of AA, DA and UA in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0), while the poly(luminol) modified electrode could separate them efficiently. In differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) measurements, the modified GCE could separate AA and DA signals from UA, allowing the selective determination of UA. Using DPV, the linear range (3.0×10^?5 to 1.0×10^?3 M) and the detection limit (2.0×10^?6 M) were estimated for measurement of UA in physiological condition. The applicability of the prepared electrode was demonstrated by measuring UA in human urine samples.     

Fabrication of poly(orthanilic acid)–multiwalled carbon nanotubes composite film-modified glassy carbon electrode and its use for the simultaneous determination of uric acid and dopamine in the presence of ascorbic acid

A multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) coated with poly(orthanilic acid) (PABS) film (PABS–MWNT/GCE) has been fabricated and used for simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA) in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, and electrochemical techniques have been used to characterize the surface morphology of the PABS–MWNT composite film and the polymerization of ABS on electrode surface. In comparison with the bare GCE and the MWNT-modified GCE, the PABS–MWNT composite film-modified GCE, which combines the advantages of MWNT and the self-doped PABS, exhibits good selectivity and sensitivity for the simultaneous and selective determination of UA and DA in the presence of AA. Due to the different electrochemical responses of AA, DA, and UA, PABS–MWNT/GCE can resolve the overlapped oxidation peak of DA and UA into two well-defined voltammetric peaks with enhanced current responses using both cyclic voltammetry (CV) and DPV. The peak potential separations between DA and UA are 170 mV using CV and 160 mV using DPV, respectively, which are large enough for the selective and simultaneous determination of these species. In the presence of 0.5 mM AA, the DPV peak currents are linearly dependent on the concentration of UA and DA in the range of 6–55 and 9–48 μM with correlation coefficients of 0.997 and 0.993, respectively. The detection limits (S/N = 3) for detecting UA and DA are 0.44 and 0.21 μM, respectively. The PABS–MWNT/GCE shows good reproducibility and stability and has been used for the simultaneous determination of DA and UA in the presence of AA in samples with satisfactory results.

This paper describes the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid (AA), norepinephrine (NE) and uric acid (UA) using a graphene modified glassy carbon electrode (GME) in pH 4.0 phosphate buffer solution. The electrochemical behaviors of AA, NE and UA at a bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and the GME were studied by cyclic voltammetry. Bare GCE failed to resolve the voltammetric signals of AA, NE and UA in a mixture, whereas the GME not only resolved their voltammetric signals, but also exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards their electrochemical oxidation. The oxidation peak currents of AA, NE and UA were linearly proportional to their concentrations over the range of 1.0.0–1000.0, 0.6–45.0 and 1.0–100.0 μM, respectively, and their detection limits were 1.2, 0.10 and 0.60 μM, respectively, The modified electrode is of excellent sensitivity and selectivity, and has been satisfactorily used for the simultaneous determination of AA, NE and UA in their ternary mixture.

Electrochemical biosensor for sensitively simultaneous determination of dopamine, uric acid, guanine, and adenine based on poly-melamine and nano Ag hybridized film-modified electrode

An electrochemical sensor for simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA), uric acid (UA), guanine (G), and adenine (A) has been constructed by copolymerizing melamine monomer and Ag ions on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with cyclic voltammetry. The poly-melamine and nano Ag formed a hybridized film on the surface of the GCE. The morphology of the film was characterized by scanning electron microscope. The electrochemical and electrocatalytic properties of this film were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, and square wave voltammetry (SWV). In 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 4.5), the modified electrode resolved the electrochemical response of DA, UA, G, and A into four well-defined voltammetric oxidation peaks by SWV; the oxidation peak current of DA, UA, G, and A increased 13-, 6-, 7-, and 9-fold, respectively, compared with those at the bare GCE and the SWV peak currents of DA, UA, G, and A with linear concentrations in the ranges of 0.1–50, 0.1–50, 0.1–50, and 0.1–60 μM, respectively. Based on this, a method for simultaneous determination of these species in mixture was setup. The detection limits were 10 nM for DA, 100 nM for UA, 8 nM for G, and 8 nM for A.     

Poly (3-(3-pyridyl) acrylic acid) modified glassy carbon electrode for simultaneous determination of dopamine, ascorbic acid and uric acid

Trans-3-(3-pyridyl) acrylic acid (PAA) was deposited on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by electropolymerization in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The poly (3-(3-pyridyl) acrylic acid) (PPAA) film modified glassy carbon electrode shows an excellent electrochemical response for dopamine (DA), ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA). The cyclic voltammetry oxidation peaks for DA and AA, DA and UA, AA and UA are separated by 150 mV, 130 mV and 280 mV, respectively. This permits the simultaneous determination of AA, DA and UA. The interference of AA with the determination of DA could be eliminated because of the electrostatic interaction between DA cations and the negatively charged PPAA film at pH 7.0. The anodic peak currents of DA, AA and UA increase linearly with concentration in the range of 1-40 micromol L(-1), 10-400 micromol L(-1) and 1.6-80 micromol L(-1), respectively, with a correlation coefficient (r) always higher than 0.998. The detection limit is 0.06 micromol L(-1), 0.8 micromol L(-1) and 1.1 micromol L(-1) for DA, AA and UA, respectively.     

The Influence of Gold Nanoparticles on Simultaneous Determination of Uric Acid and Ascorbic Acid

A three-dimensional L-cysteine (L-cys) monolayer assembled on gold nanoparticles (GNP) providing simultaneous detection of uric acid (UA) and ascorbic acid (AA) was studied in this work. The cyclic voltammetry demonstrated that, at a bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE) or planar gold electrode, the mixture of UA and AA showed one overlapped oxidation peak; whereas when the electrode was modified with GNP, the oxidation peaks for UA and AA were separated. While a GNP modified electrode was further modified with L-cys monolayer (L-cys/GNP/GCE), namely, three-dimensional L-cys monolayer, a better separation for UA and AA response was obtained. Interestingly, the L-cys monolayer-modified planar gold electrode presented a block effect on the oxidation of AA, which was facilitated by the three-dimensional L-cys monolayer attributed to its distinct structure. The pH of solution presented a noticeable effect on the separation of UA and AA at GNP modified electrodes with or without L-cys monolayer. Wide concentration ranges from 2 × 10^?6?1 × 10^?3 M to UA and 2 × 10^?6?8 × 10^?4 M to AA could be obtained at L-cys/GNP/GCE.

A quadruplet electrochemical platform for ultrasensitive and simultaneous detection of ascorbic acid,dopamine, uric acid and acetaminophen based on a ferrocene derivative functional Au NPs/carbon dots nanocomposite and graphene

In this work, a new nanomaterial of thiol functional ferrocene derivative (Fc-SH) stabilized Au NPs/carbon dots nanocomposite (Au/C NC) coupling with graphene modified glassy carbon electrode (Fc-S-Au/C NC/graphene/GCE) was fabricated to serve as a quadruplet detection platform for ultrasensitive and simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), uric acid (UA) and acetaminophen (AC). The Au/C NC was synthesized by adding HAuCl₄ into carbon nanodots solution without using any additional reductant and stabilizing agent. Then the Fc-SH was utilized as the protective and capping agent to modify the Au/C NC. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–Vis, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were adopted to characterize the morphology and electrochemical properties of the materials and the electrodes. The Fc-S-Au/C NC/graphene/GCE exhibits a synergistic catalytic and amplification effects towards oxidation of AA, DA, UA and AC owing to the existence of the nanomaterial and electron mediator. When simultaneous detection of AA, DA, UA and AC, the oxidation peak potentials of the four compounds on the electrode can be well separated and the peak currents were linearly dependent on their concentrations. The quadruplet detection platform shows excellent linear range and ultrasensitive response to the four components, the detection limits were estimated to be as low as 1.00, 0.05, 0.12 and 0.10 μM (S/N = 3), and the modified electrode exhibits excellent stability and reproducibility. The proposed electrode has been successfully applied to detect of these four analytes in real samples with satisfactory results.

The electrode was characterized by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques. The RNA modified layer on GCE exhibited superior catalytic ability and anionic exclusive ability in comparison with the DNA modified electrode. Three separated anodic DPV peaks were obtained at 0.312, 0.168 and ?0.016 V for UA, DA and AA, respectively, at the RNA/GCE in pH 7.0 PBS. In the presence of 2.0 mM AA, a linear range of 0.37 to 36 μM with a detection limit of 0.2 μM for DA, and in the range of 0.74 to 73 μM with a detection limit of 0.36 μM for UA were obtained. The co‐existence of 5000 fold AA did not interfere with the detection of DA or UA. The modified electrode shows excellent selectivity, good sensitivity and good stability.

Electrocatalytic Detection of Uric Acid on Nitrogen‐Doped Graphene Modified Electrode and Its Application

Nitrogen‐doped graphene (NG) was used to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), which was applied to the voltammetric detection of uric acid (UA). Because of the presence of NG on the GCE surface, the modified electrode showed excellent electrocatalytic ability for UA oxidation with increase of the peak current and decrease of the peak potential. Compared to that of the traditional GCE, the overpotential of the oxidation peak decreased by 50 mV. Electrochemical performance of UA was studied on NG/GCE in detail, which showed a quasi‐reversible, diffusional‐controlled process. Electrochemical parameters including the charge transfer coefficient (α ), the number of electron transfer (n ), and the diffusional coefficient (D ) were calculated. At the optimal conditions, the oxidation peak current was linear, with UA concentration from 0.1 to 10.0 μmol/L as revealed by differential pulse voltammetry, and the detection limit was estimated as 0.042 μmol/L (3σ). The UA content in the urine sample of a healthy volunteer was determined by the proposed method with a recovery of 98.7–102.3%.     

Docosyltrimethylammonium chloride modified glassy carbon electrode for simultaneous determination of dopamine and ascorbic acid

A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with docosyltrimethylammonium chloride (DCTMACl) is used for simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA) and ascorbic acid (AA) using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique in 0.10 mol·L^?1 phosphate buffer solution of pH 5.0. The cationic surfactant DCTMACl modified film has a positive charge. DA exists as the positively charged species, whereas AA is the negatively charged one in the solution. Thus, at DCTMACl film-modified GCE, the oxidation peak potential of AA shifts toward less negative potential and the peak current of AA increases a little, while the oxidation peak potential of DA shifts toward more positive potential and peak current decreases greatly in comparison with that on bare electrode. The two anodic peaks are separated around 200 mV. Under optimal conditions, the catalytic peak currents obtained from DPV increase linearly with concentrations of DA and AA in the ranges of 1.0?×?10^?5 to 1.0?×?10^?3?mol·L^?1. This electrode has good reproducibility, high stability in its voltammetric response, and low detection limit (micromolar) for both AA and DA. The modified electrode has been applied to the determination of DA and AA in injection.
