▎ 摘 要
A graphene modified carbon paste sensor (or so-called graphene based sensor) was developed for electrochemical detection of hydroquinone. The sensor was fast fabricated using screen-printing technique. By integrating three fundamental electrodes on a single device, the sensor is small and portable. A determination is based on a one drop analysis. A 60 mu L-drop of sample was placed onto the sensor prior to cyclic voltammetric measurement. The method relies on green analysis since it lowers the consumption of sample and waste generation. Under the optimal conditions, a linear calibration was achieved in range of 1.0 x 10(-4) to 5.0 x 10(-3) M hydroquinone. The detection limit was 7 x 10(-5) M, a sensitive adequate for measuring hydroquinone in cosmetic products. The sensor provided good precision (%RSD = 2.78) and accuracy (recoveries = 87-114%), with analysis times of less than a minute. The sensor was applied to determine the presence of hydroquinone in whitening creams. The results obtained from the developed sensor satisfactorily agreed with the HPLC method, indicating the reliability of the method. Due to its advantages in terms of rapidity, low-cost and portability, the device is a viable choice for on-site screening for hydroquinone contamination in whitening products.
