The Electrochemical Detection of Alizarin Red at Electrofabricated CeO2-Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanostructures
Keywords:
Alizarin Red, Cerium Oxide, Electrochemical Deposition, Reduced Graphene OxideAbstract
Cerium oxide-reduced graphene oxide (CeO2-rGO) nanostructures were successfully fabricated on indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode surface using one-pot electrochemical technique. The prepared nanostructures and modified surfaces (CeO2-rGO/ITO) were investigated for the electrochemical determination of Alizarin red. Firstly, electrocatalytic activities of different modified surfaces were compared by cyclic voltammograms (CVs). For further analysis, concentration-dependent measurements were recorded using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The detection limit of Alizarin on the CeO2-rGO/ITO electrode was calculated as 1.9 µM. The modified surface was successfully used to detect Alizarin red, which may add a new dimension to the detection of Alizarin derivatives materials.
