Tóm tắt

In the present study, a composite material consisting of polypyrrole nanowires (PPyNWs) and platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) has been developed by an all-electrochemical approach and proved to be highly effective for electrochemical determination of dopamine (DA). PPyNWs are electropolymerized by a template-free method, and PtNPs are subsequently electrodeposited by cyclic voltammetry. Chemical characterization by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed the effective PtNP immobilization on polymer nanowires discriminating at the same time Pt species deposited and revealing the occurrence of polypyrrole-PtNP interaction. The morphology of the composite material was characterized using scanning electron microscopy that showed spherical Pt nanoparticles well distributed within PPy-NW network. DA detection was performed by differential pulse voltammetry technique obtaining satisfactory performances in terms of linear range (1–77 μM), sensitivity, reproducibility (RSD 2.7%), and detection limit (0.6 μM). The electrocatalytic role of PtNPs in DA electroxidation process is clearly demonstrated by the comparison with PPyNWs only. Moreover, no significant response is observed in the presence of common interference as ascorbic acid and uric acid, which may coexist with DA in biological fluids, demonstrating a good selectivity toward DA. Moreover, DA was detected in human serum samples spiked obtaining a satisfactory recovery of 94%. A synergistic effect involving both PtNPs and PPyNWs is invoked for explaining the observed electrocatalytic activity.
