▎ 摘  要

A voltammetric method is described for the determination of chloroquine (CQ) and validated simultaneously by two techniques and in three different conditions. The WS2 quantum dots (WS2 QDs) were synthesized by a hydrothermal method and then placed on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets. The resulting composite material was then deposited on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) where it showed excellent electroactivity. The modified GCE responds to chloroquine at a typical potential maximum of 1.2V (vs. AgCl/Ag). Techniques including cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry were tested. Features of merit include (a) a wide linear response (in the 0.5M to 82M CQ concentration range), (b) an electrochemical sensitivity of 0.143-0.90AM(-1)cm(-2)), and a 40-120nM limit of detection (at S/N=3). The sensor has excellent selectivity even in the presence of potentially interfering biological compounds. Responses were tested in phosphate buffer, human serum and pharmaceutical formulations, and no cross reactivity or matrix effects were found. In all the three cases, quite satisfactory recoveries were obtained.
