Abstract: | A new modified electrode was prepared by electrodeposition of caffeic acid (CFA) at the surface of an activated glassy carbon
electrode. Cyclic voltammetry was used to investigate the redox properties of this electrode at various solution pH values
and at various scan rates. The pH dependence of the electrode response was found to be 58.5 mV/pH, which is very close to
the expected Nernstian value. The electrode was also employed to study electrocatalytic oxidation of reduced nicotinamide
adenine dinucleotide (NADH), using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and rotating disk voltammetry as diagnostic techniques.
It was found that the modified electrode exhibits potent and persistent electrocatalytic properties toward NADH oxidation
in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0) with a diminution of the overpotential of about 450 mV compared to the process at an
unmodified electrode. The electrocatalytic current increases linearly with NADH concentration in the range tested from 0.05
to 1.0 mM. The apparent charge transfer rate constant and transfer coefficient for electron transfer between the electrode
surface and immobilized CFA were calculated as 11.2 s−1 and 0.43, respectively. The heterogeneous rate constant for oxidation of NADH at the CFA-modified electrode surface was also
determined and found to be about 3 × 103 M−1 s−1. Finally, the diffusion coefficient of NADH was calculated as 3.24 × 10−6 cm2 s−1 for the experimental conditions, using chronoamperometric results.
