| Abstract: | Ferrosoferric oxide functionalized graphene oxide nanocomposite with layer by layer structure was synthesized by isoelectric point method in this work. The prepared material was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Then the material was used to modify a glassy carbon electrode to fabricate an electrochemical sensor for the detection of catechol. The electrochemical sensor exhibited excellent electrochemical performance towards the detection of catechol with a linear response in the range of 5–205 μM and a detection limit of 2.32 μM. Furthermore, the electrochemical sensor showed excellent selectivity, stability and repeatability. These results revealed ferrosoferric oxide functionalized graphene oxide nanocomposite has potential applications in the fabrication of electrochemical sensors. |
