A Novel Sensitive Electrochemical Sensor for the Simultaneous Determination of Hydroquinone and Catechol using Tryptophan-Functionalized Graphene

A novel tryptophan-functionalized graphene nanocomposite was employed for the simultaneous determination of hydroquinone and catechol. The analyte electrochemical behavior on the surface of tryptophan-functionalized graphene was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. Compared to conventional graphene, enhanced peak currents were obtained that were attributed to the large number of defects on tryptophan-functionalized graphene that accelerated electron transfer between the electrode and analytes. The peak potential difference between hydroquinone and catechol at the tryptophan-functionalized graphene modified glassy carbon electrode was 104 millivolt, which was sufficiently wide to simultaneously determine hydroquinone and catechol. This method was used for the analysis of tap water.     

Simultaneous Electrochemical Determination of Hydroquinone and Catechol at MWNTs and Cobalt(II) Tetrakisphenylporphyrin Modified Electrode

A multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and cobalt(II) tetrakisphenylporphyrin (Co(II)TPP) modified glassy carbon electrode (MWNTs/Co(II)TPP/GCE) has been prepared. It can be used for individual or simultaneous determination of hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC). The anodic peaks of HQ and CC can be separated well. Owing to the unique properties of MWNTs and special synergistic effect of MWNTs and Co(II)TPP, the modified electrode exhibited a remarkable and stable current response for CC and HQ. The linear ranges for CC and HQ were 1.0–450.0 µmol L^?1 and 0.8–400.0 µmol L^?1 with detection limits of 0.8 µmol L^?1 and 0.5 µmol L^?1, respectively. Furthermore, Co(II)TPP, MWNTs, and Co(II)TPP/MWNTs composite were also used to construct modified electrodes and the electrochemical performances were studied.

Cysteamine Capped Silver Nanoparticles and Single‐walled Carbon Nanotubes Composite Coated on Glassy Carbon Electrode for Simultaneous Analysis of Hydroquinone and Catechol

A stable complex of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) capped by cysteamine (Cst) together with single‐walled carbon nanotube (CNTs) was used to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for simultaneous detection of hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CT). The resulting electrode (AgCst‐CNTs/GCE) showed excellent electrocatalysis and reversibility towards this electroactive pair. The peak separations of their oxidation‐reduction peaks decreased significantly, compared with those of the unmodified GCE. The signal responses of the AgCst‐CNTs/GCE were 5‐fold higher while its peak potential separation remained unchanged (ca. 130 mV), compared to the CNTs‐modified GCE. The oxidation peak currents obtained for HQ and CT exhibited linearly from submicromolar to hundred micromolar concentrations without any cross‐interference. The modified electrode possessed a very large active surface area with a detection limit (S/N=3) of 10 and 40 nM for HQ and CT, respectively. The sensor was demonstrated for the analysis of river water and topical cream as evinced by high accuracy and reproducibility.

生理条件下对苯二酚的电化学行为及电极产物的色谱鉴定

用循环伏安法研究了对苯二酚在玻碳电极上的电化学行为，从循环伏安图上看出当在0至1．6V电位间连续扫描20次，在0．63V左右可见到一氧化峰电位，其峰电流随扫描次数的增加而减小。说明电极反应为不可逆过程。然而，如改变在-1．4～1.6V电位间扫描，仅数次扫描后即可在Epa=0．25V和Epc=-0．08V处见到一对氧化还原峰电位，说明了此过程为一可逆过程。同时，对电极反应的产物用RHPLC进行研究和鉴定，从色谱图所示结果与电化学法所得结果一致。根据此工作的研究结果对苯二酚在呼吸链中所产生的作用进行了探讨。
