A New Composite Electrode using Molecular Wires as the Binder and its Application to Simultaneous Determination of Dopamine and Serotonin
Abstract
A new composite electrode based on the graphite and carbon nanotubes as a conductive phase and molecular wire as binder was proposed. An optimization of various components of the electrode was performed. Also, the conditions for preparation and pasting of the proposed electrode were optimized. The electrochemical characteristics of the electrode were performed via the study of redox behavior of various electrochemical probes via some electrochemical tests such as cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The structural characteristics of electrode were studied via scanning electron microscopy. The suggested electrode showed favorable features which make it suitable for many electrochemical applications such as sensor.
In the second part of this thesis, the proposed electrode was used for the simultaneous determination of dopamine and serotonin. The electrode has shown high sensitivity, low detection limit, high repeatability and reproducibility. The electrode was used successfully in the analysis of the real sample. The individual calibration linear range was determined to be 1.0×10-8 to 4.5×10-5 M for dopamine and 5.0×10-8 to 4.0×10-5 M for serotonin; while for their simultaneous determination the calibration range was 7.0 to 750.0 µM for dopamine and 2.0 to 500 µM for serotonin. The effects of possible interferences were examined and the method was applied to the simultaneous determination of dopamine and serotonin in human blood serum samples.
