Two graphene samples co-doped with nitrogen and sulfur were synthesized by the hydrothermal method using thiourea as doping and reducing agent for graphene oxide (GO). An appropriate amount of thiourea was added to the aqueous dispersion of GO, previously sonicated for 30 min. The mixture was poured into an autoclave and placed in the oven for 3 h, at 120 and 200 degrees C. The samples were denoted NSGr-120 and NSGr-200, respectively, in agreement with the reaction temperatures. They were next morphologically and structurally characterized by advanced techniques, such as SEM/TEM, XPS, XRD, and FTIR. According to XPS analysis, the NSGr-120 sample has higher amounts of heteroatoms in comparison with NSGr-200, indicating that the reaction temperature is a crucial factor that affects the doping degree. In order to reveal the influence of the doping degree on the electrochemical performances of graphene-modified electrodes, they were tested in solutions containing L-cysteine molecules. The electrode with the best electrocatalytic performances, GC/NSGr-120, was tested to detect L-cysteine in a pharmaceutical drug, proving its applicability in real sample analysis.
