▎ 摘　　要

A dual-selective sensor platform for detection of iron in ferrous (Fe2+) and ferric (Fe3+) oxidation states was developed. Upon dispersing reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets into poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) polymer, we deposited a hybrid film of rGO-PEDOT:PSS onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface. Effective intercalation of rGO sheets in PEDOT:PSS film was observed by Raman spectroscopy, UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The rGO-PEDOT:PSS/GCE sensor showed high electrocatalytic activity for Fe2+/Fe3+ redox reaction. Using amperometry with controlled applied potential, we demonstrated selective detection of both Fe2+ and Fe3+ with rGOPEDOT:PSS/GCE. The sensor responded linearly to Fe2+ from 20-833 mu M (at 0.6 V) and Fe3+ from 1-833 mu M (at 0.4 V) in 0.5 M KCl + 0.05 M HCI. The presence of several common metal and organic interferents such as Cu2+, Co2+, Ag+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Zn2+, Mn2+; Ni2+, Hg2+, L-glycine, L-cysteine, L-tyrosine, glucose, KCN, guanine, uric acid, xanthan, salicylate, tartrazine, and naphthol yellow did not affect the selective detection of Fe2+ and Fe3+. In addition, detection of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions in a red wine sample and iron supplement tablets were performed with satisfactory results. The sensor was also useful in determining oxidation kinetics of Fe2+ using hydrogen peroxide and measuring Fe3+ by differential pulse voltammetry. Thus, rGO/PEDOT:PSS hybrid film based electrode we developed can serve as a practical sensor for detecting iron in its different oxidation states in real samples for different applications.
