Abstract
This paper presents a sensitive simultaneous detection procedure for Sudan I and bisphenol A based on the multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/Co3O4nanocomposite modified screen-printed graphite electrode (SPGE). This MWCNTs/Co3O4nanocomposite was prepared by the hydrothermal technique, and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrochemical properties of MWCNTs/Co3O4nanocomposite modified SPGE were analyzed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), chronoamperometry (CHA), as well as linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). From the electrochemical results, a synergy between MWCNTs and Co3O4nanoparticles (NPs) was detected as improved interfacial electron transfer, which was accompanied by a greater catalytic function for electrochemical oxidation of Sudan I. Based on the optimized condition, MWCNTs/Co3O4/SPGEexhibited the linear dynamic ranging between 0.05 and 600.0 μM detection of Sudan I with a limit of detection (LOD) 0.02 μM.Also, the as-prepared electrode was assessed for simultaneous detection ofSudan I and Bisphenol A. In the course of electrooxidation processesof theseanalytes, two complete peaks at 380 and 520 mVwere observed on the modified electrode. At the end, utility of this new electrochemical sensor was performed to determine Sudan I and Bisphenol A in some real samples with good accuracy and precision.Keywords
