Abstract

In this work, a highly effective voltammetric sensor fabricated for simultaneous analysis of norepinephrine and acetylcholine. The sensor was fabricated by the modification of carbon paste electrode with graphene quantum dots/ionic liquid (GQDs/IL/CPE). The electrochemical behavior of epinephrine on the modified electrode was studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and chronoamperometry (CHA). The results indicate that the electrochemical responses are improved significantly with the use of the modified electrode. The calibration curve obtained by DPV, under the optimized conditions, showed linear range of 0.2-400.0 mu M for norepinephrine (limit of detection 0.06 mu M).The sensor was successfully used to detect the analytes in real samples.
