The authors report on a low temperature method for large-scale fabrication of cuprous oxide nanocubes deposited on nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (Cu2O/N-RGO). The material was deposited in a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) where it is found to display enhanced electrocatalytic activity for oxidation of diethylstilbestrol (DES). The morphology and composition of Cu2O/N-RGO were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the RGO is doped with 3.5% of nitrogen (atomic ratio), and that nanostructured Cu2O particles with controlled cubical morphology and an average size of about 450 nm have been homogeneously deposited on the surface of N-RGO sheets. The oxidation peak of DES was recorded at 0.315 V (vs. saturated calomel electrode) using differential pulse voltammetry. Under the optimal conditions, the modified GCE displays a linear response in the 0.3 to 150 mu M DES concentration range, and the limit of detection is 10 nM. The method was applied to the determination of DES in spiked milk, meat and urine samples and gave excellent selectivity, stability and reproducibility.
