| Abstract: | In this work, the reduced graphene oxide functionalized with poly dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (PDDA) modified palladium nanoparticles (PDDA‐rGO/Pd) had been facile synthesized and used as the sensing layer for sensitive determination of capsaicin. The prepared composite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, UV‐visible absorption spectroscopy. The image demonstrated that Pd nanoparticles were uniformly distributed on the graphene surface. The electrochemical properties of the prepared sensor were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed that the nanocomposite exhibits attractive electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of capsaicin. This attributed to the synergistic action of the excellent properties of Pd nanoparticles and graphene nanosheets. Under optimized conditions, the electrochemical sensor possessed a dynamic linear range from 0.32 μM to 64 μM with a detection limit of 0.10 μM (S/N=3) for capsaicin detection. Moreover, the cost‐effective and simple fabrication procedure, good reproducibility and stability as well as acceptable accuracy for capsaicin determination in actual samples are also the main advantages of this method, which might have broad application in other amide alkaloid detection. |
