A chitosan-multiwall carbon nanotube modified electrode for simultaneous detection of dopamine and ascorbic acid.
A chemically modified electrode based on a chitosan-multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT) coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) is described, which exhibits an attractive ability to determine dopamine (DA) and ascorbic acid (AA) simultaneously. The modified electrode exhibited a high differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) current response to DA at 0.144 V and AA at -0.029 V (vs. SCE) in a 0.1 mol l(-1) phosphate buffer solution (pH = 7.2). The properties and behaviors of the chitosan-multiwall carbon nanotube modified electrode (MC/GCE) were characterized using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and DPV methods. The mechanism for the discrimination of dopamine from ascorbic acid at MC/GCE is discussed. The linear calibration range for DA and AA were 5 x 10(-7) mol l(-1) to 1 x 10(-4) mol l(-1) (r = 0.997), and 5 x 10(-6) mol l(-1) to 1 x 10(-3) mol l(-1) (r = 0.996), respectively. The MC/GCE showed good sensitivity, selectivity and stability.
