Pure Metal Nanoparticles for Selective Electrochemical Sensor of Organic Substances

Article Preview

Abstract:

The field of application of electrochemical analysis has been significantly widened after modified electrodes appeared. Metallic nanoparticles are ones of the most common used modifiers of the electrode surface to increase the sensitivity and selectivity of the analysis. Increasing of selectivity is extremely important in cases when two or more analyts have electro-chemical signals at nearly the same values of electrode potential. Dopamine and ascorbic acid are an example of such case. In present work Au, Pt, Pd, and Ni “pure” nanoparticles obtained by laser ablation without stabilizing agents were used to modify the surface of a glassy carbon electrode. Modified electrodes were tested in solutions of ascorbic acid and dopamine at their simultaneous electro-oxidation. It was shown that Au, Pt, and Ni nanoparticles on the electrode surface increase the selectivity of analysis giving two separate peaks of analyts.
