▎ 摘 要
An electrochemical sensor is described for the simultaneous determination of the pollutants catechol (CC) and hydroquinone (HQ). A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with reduced graphene oxide, Fe3O4 and gold nanoparticles and then showed a pair of well-defined voltammetric peaks for CC and HQ. Its oxidation peak potentials (located at 0.21 and 0.10V vs. Ag/AgCl) are well separated, and this makes it suitable for simultaneous determination of the two isomers. Under optimal conditions, the oxidation peak currents of CC and HQ increase linearly in the 0.05-550M and 0.1-500M concentration ranges, even in the presence of 0.1mM of the respective other isomer. The detection limits are 0.02 and 0.17M (at S/N=3), respectively. The modified GCE exhibits good selectivity and recovery when applied for the analysis of spiked wastewater.
