New hydrazine sensors based on electropolymerized meso-tetra(4-sulphonatephenyl)porphyrinate manganese(III)/silver nanomaterial.
A new electrocatalytic active porphyrin nanocomposite material was obtained by electropolymerization of meso-tetra(4-sulphonatephenyl)porphyrinate manganese(III) complex (MnTPPS) in alkaline solutions containing sub-micromolar concentrations of silver chloride. The modified glassy carbon electrodes efficiently oxidize hydrazine at 10mV versus Ag/AgCl, dramatically decreasing the overpotential of conventional carbon electrodes. The analytical characteristics of this amperometric sensor coupled with batch injection analysis (BIA) technique were explored. Wide linear dynamic range (2.5x10(-7) to 2.5x10(-4)molL(-1)), good repeatability (R.S.D.=0.84%, n=30) and low detection (3.1x10(-8)molL(-1)) and quantification (1.0x10(-7)molL(-1)) limits, as well as very fast sampling frequency (60 determinations per hour) were achieved.
