Sensitive detection of trifluoperazine using a poly-ABSA/SWNTs film-modified glassy carbon electrode.
A poly-ABSA/SWNTs composite-modified electrode was fabricated by electropolymerizing aminobenzene sulphonic acid (ABSA) on the surface of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). SWNTs provide a 3D porous and conductive network for the polymer immobilization. The nanocomposite film was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results indicated that this composite-modified electrode had strong electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of trifluoperazine (TFP). TFP could effectively accumulate on the modified electrode and generate a sensitive anodic peak at 0.72V (versus SCE) in pH 6.1 phosphate buffer solution. Under the selected conditions, the anodic peak current of TFP was linear with its concentration within the range from 1.0x10(-7) to 1.0x10(-5)molL(-1) and 1.0x10(-5) to 1.0x10(-4)molL(-1), and the detection limit was 1.0x10(-9)molL(-1) (S/N=3). This method was successfully applied to the detection of trifluoperazine in drug samples and the recovery was satisfactory. In comparison with the SWNTs/GCE or poly-ABSA/GCE prepared in the similar way, this composite-modified electrode exhibited better catalytic activity.
