▎ 摘　　要

A novel electrochemical sensor based on sulfur (S)-doped graphene (S-Gr) and a 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) composite (S-Gr-TMB) modified glassy carbon (GCE) electrode for highly selective quantitative detection of silver ions (Ag+) were fabricated. The S-Gr-TMB composite was first prepared via electrostatic interaction between TMB and S-Gr and then, the composite was coated on the surface of GCE. The resultant S-Gr-TMB/GCE electrode showed a significant voltammetric response to Ag+ at 0.3 V vs. Ag/AgCl due to the synergistic effect of S-Gr and TMB. The sensor showed good linearity from 50 M to 400 M with a detection limit of 2.15 M towards the determination of Ag+. In addition, after the addition of Fe3+ and other metal ions, including Al3+, Ca2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cu2+, K+, Mg2+, Na+, Ni2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+, in the same concentration, the current signal remained almost unchanged, revealing that the proposed electrochemical sensor exhibited a high selectivity for Ag+, which solves the nonselective problem of TMB as a spectral probe. This enhanced detection performance is attributed to two factors: (1) S-Gr has excellent electrical conductivity; (2) the coupling interactions between Ag-S are speculated to result in strengthened enrichment for Ag and good selective performance.
