Abstract
In this study, we report the development of an electrochemical sensor modified with exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnP) and gold nanoparticles (AuNP) synthesized using green grape plant extract (Vitis vinifera L.). The modified electrode, denoted as xGnP/AuNP-Grape/GCE, was successfully applied for the determination of methyldopa (MD) using square wave voltammetry (SWV). The characterization of the AuNP-Grape was performed using UV–Vis and ATR-FTIR spectroscopies, while transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were employed to analyze the xGnP-AuNP-Grape nanocomposite. The electrochemical properties of the modified electrodes were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. AuNP-Grape/GCE and xGnP-AuNP-Grape/GCE exhibited a remarkable electrocatalytic effect of 250 mV towards MD compared to the bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE). In addition, notably, the utilization of xGnP-AuNP-Grape/GCE as the working electrode induced a change in the electrochemical behavior of MD from irreversible to reversible when compared to GCE. SWV was optimized with appropriate parameters, and a calibration plot for methyldopa was constructed within the concentration range of 0.082–14 µmol L‒1. The obtained limits of detection and quantification were 0.024 and 0.082 µmol L‒1, respectively. The proposed xGnP/AuNP-Grape/GCE electrochemical platform demonstrated excellent stability and sensitivity, offering a simple and rapid method for the quantification of methyldopa. The findings of this study contribute to the development of efficient electrochemical sensors for pharmaceutical and clinical analysis and demonstrate the versatility of using plant extract-mediated synthesis of AuNP in sensor applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry is devoted to all aspects of solid-state chemistry and solid-state physics in electrochemistry.
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry publishes papers on all aspects of electrochemistry of solid compounds, including experimental and theoretical, basic and applied work. It equally publishes papers on the thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical reactions if at least one actively participating phase is solid. Also of interest are articles on the transport of ions and electrons in solids whenever these processes are relevant to electrochemical reactions and on the use of solid-state electrochemical reactions in the analysis of solids and their surfaces.
The journal covers solid-state electrochemistry and focusses on the following fields: mechanisms of solid-state electrochemical reactions, semiconductor electrochemistry, electrochemical batteries, accumulators and fuel cells, electrochemical mineral leaching, galvanic metal plating, electrochemical potential memory devices, solid-state electrochemical sensors, ion and electron transport in solid materials and polymers, electrocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry, corrosion of solid materials, solid-state electroanalysis, electrochemical machining of materials, electrochromism and electrochromic devices, new electrochemical solid-state synthesis.
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry makes the professional in research and industry aware of this swift progress and its importance for future developments and success in the above-mentioned fields.
