Abstract
Objective:
This paper presents the application of Poly (Adenine) Modified Graphene Paste Electrode (PAMGPE) for the analysis of Catechol (CC) with Resorcinol (RC) and Hydroquinone (HQ) by a voltammetric technique.
Methods:
Electropolymerization technique was utilized for the modification of the sensor surface. The electrode surface was characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM). Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV) were used to study the redox behavior of CC, RC and HQ.
Results:
Oxidation peak current of CC increased linearly with the concentration of CC in the range from 2×10-6- 8×10-6 M and 1×10-5-1.5 ×10-4 M with a detection limit of 2.4×10-7 M. The practical application of the developed sensor was verified as exact for the determination of CC in water sample.
Conclusion:
The stability, repeatability, and reproducibility of the developed electrode were studied and established good characteristics. Furthermore, the PAMGPE was examined for the simultaneous determination of CC, RC and HQ.
