Synthesis of Carbon Nanopolymers Based on Deep Eutectic Strategy for Simultaneous Electrochemical Detection of a Variety of Biological Small Molecules
A conductive polymer material poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene)(PEDOT)was synthesized based on a deep eutectic strategy and combined with gold nanoparticles(Au NPs)to construct a novel electrochemical sensing platform to realize the simultaneous determination of a variety of small biological molecules[ascorbic acid(AA),dopamine(DA),uric acid(UA)].The morphology,performance and effective area of glassy carbon electrode modified by PEDOT and Au NPs(PEDOT-Au/GCE)were characterized.The experimental results show that the modified electrode can achieve simultaneous detection of AA,DA and UA with high sensitivity and high stability,proving that the PEDOT-Au NPs complex has good electrochemical catalytic activity.Under optimal experimental conditions,the concentration and peak current value of AA,DA and UA in mixed solution show a good linear relationship in the concentration ranges of 100-1000,50-500 and 22.5-225 μmol/L,respectively,with the separate detection limits of 21,0.38 and 0.016 μmol/L.In addition,the electrochemical sensing platform has a high specificity for AA,DA,and UA in the presence of other active small molecules in serum.This method is applied for the recovery determination of AA,DA and UA in serum samples.
