▎ 摘　　要

The present research presents synthesis and substantial utilization of a nanocomposite of reduced graphene oxide/polypyrrole nanotubes to modify graphite screen printed electrode (rGO/PPy NTs-GSPE) for detection of sulfite. The nanocomposite preparation was done by hydrothermal protocol, followed by characterization by energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Electrocatalytic sensing of sulfite is carried out using differential pulse voltammetric (DPV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), cyclic voltammetric (CV), and Chronoamperometry. Electrochemical behaviors of modified and unmodified electrodes were explored with CV method. In addition, DPV was employed for anodic peak and quantitatively detecting sulfite. The DPV results unveiled a linear response of the sensor to various sulfite contents (0.04-565.0 mu M) with a narrow detection limit (0.01 mu M) and admirable sensitivity (0.0483 mu A/mu\M). The diffusion coefficient (D) for sulfite using rGO/PPy NTs-GSPE, 9.9 x 10(-6) cm(2)/s was obtained. The sensor was also successful in the sulfite detection in real specimens.
