An electrochemical sensor based on a polyfurfural-electrochemically reduced graphene oxide modified glassy carbon electrode has been developed for the sensitive and rapid determination of nitrofurazone. The morphologies and properties of the sensor were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). In pH 7.0 Britton–Robinson buffer solution, the as-prepared polyfurfural-electrochemically reduced graphene oxide modified glassy carbon electrode shows excellent electrocatalytic performance for the electrochemical reduction of nitrofurazone, and the reduction peak current is about 9.45, 1.31, and 1.25 times higher than that of the bare glassy carbon electrode, polyfurfural modified glassy carbon electrode, and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide modified glassy carbon electrode, respectively. The DPV determination of nitrofurazone indicates that the linear range and detection limit of nitrofurazone are 1–50 and 0.25?µmol/dm³, respectively. In addition, this sensor exhibits high selectivity, reproducibility, stability, and also was successfully used to directly determine nitrofurazone in the commercial antibacterial lotion with comparative sensitivity to high-performance liquid chromatography, showing its promising application prospects.

In this work, a novel Cu?zeolite A/graphene modified glassy carbon electrode was applied for the determination of rutin. The Cu?zeolite A/graphene composites were prepared using copper doped zeolite A and graphene oxide as the precursor, subsequently reduced by chemical agents. Based on the Cu?zeolite A/graphene modified electrode, the overpotential of the rutin oxidation was lowered by ~300 mV.

Electrochemical detection of selenium using glassy carbon electrode modified with reduced graphene oxide

In this work, a simple experimental procedure was reported for the electroanalytical determination of selenium (IV) using reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to modify glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The rGO was obtained by reduction of graphene oxide obtained via Hummer’s method. The synthesised rGO was characterised using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy and transmission Electron microscopy (TEM). GCE was modified with rGO and the electrochemical properties of the bare and modified electrode were investigated using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results obtained showed that the modified electrode exhibited more excellent electrochemical properties than the bare GCE. The optimum conditions for detection of selenium in water using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry were as follows: deposition potential ?500 mV, pH 1, pre-concentration time of 240 s and 0.1 M nitric acid was used as supporting electrolyte. The linear regression equation obtained was I (µA) = 0.8432C + 9.2359 and the detection limit was calculated to be 0.85 μg L^?1. However, Cu(II) and Cd(II) are the two cations that interfered in the analysis of selenium in water.

The sensor was also applied for real sample water analysis and the result obtained was affirmed with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopic method. It is believed that our proposed sensor hold promise for practical application.

A simple but highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for the determination of 8-azaguanine based on graphene-Nafion nanocomposite film-modified glassy carbon electrode (G-Nafion/GCE) was reported.

One-step synthesis of a Methylene Blue@ZIF-8-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite and its application to electrochemical sensing of rutin

The authors demonstrate the exploitation of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as a template for immobilizing zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) crystals loaded with the electrochemical probe Methylene Blue (MB). The framework was deposited on the surface of RGO in a one-pot process. Transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were employed to characterize the nanocomposite. The electrochemical behavior of rutin at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with the nanocomposite was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The modified GCE displays high electrocatalytic activity toward rutin oxidation at a relatively low working potential (0.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl). Under the optimal conditions, the sensor has an amperometric response that is linear in the 0.1 to 100 μM rutin concentration range, with a 20 nM detection limit (at an S/N ratio of 3). The method was successfully applied to the determination of rutin in tablets and urine samples.
