Electrochemical Detection of Dopamine using a Phenyl Carboxylic Acid-Functionalized Electrode Made by Electrochemical Reduction of a Diazonium Salt

ChemistryOpen. 2022 Dec;11(12):e202200233. doi: 10.1002/open.202200233.

Abstract

A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) has been modified by an in situ electrochemical reduction of an aryldiazonium salt generated from the reaction of 4-aminobenzoic acid and sodium nitrite in acidic ethanolic solution. The as-prepared phenyl carboxylic acid-modified glassy carbon electrode has been, for the first time, used for the electrochemical determination of dopamine. Under optimal experimental parameters, outstanding electrocatalytic activity, high sensitivity at a LOD of 5.6×10-9 m, and broad linearity of 0.1 to 1000 μm were obtained. The crafted electrochemical platform demonstrated excellent stability, specificity, and anti-interference capability towards the sensing of dopamine.

Keywords: ascorbic acid; chemically modified electrode; diazonium; dopamine analysis; electrochemical sensing.
