Abstract:

The graphene oxide(GO) bonded on glass carbon electrode(GCE) using 3-mercaptopropyol trimethoxysilane(METMS) as molecular bridge were electrochemically reduced to reduced graphene oxide(rGO) to form graphene modified glass carbon electrode(rGO-METMS-GCE). GO-METMS-GCE and rGO-METMS-GCE were characterized by SEM, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and AFM. The electrochemical performances of rGO-METMS-GCE were studied by cyclic voltammetry(CV) and differential voltammetry(DPV). The results show that the electrocatalytic oxidation current of dopamine(DA) on rGO-METMS-GCE is about 4 times that on bare GCE. The oxidation and reduction potential difference(ΔEp) of rGO-METMS-GCE is 66 mV, lower than that of bare GCE(202 mV). The rGO-METMS-GCE has remarkable electrocatalytic activity toward dopa mine oxidation and the redox reversibility of dopamine on the rGO-METMS-GCE is improved greatly.
