Abstract
Electrochemistry of dopamine and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid at ITO were investigated. The oxidation of dopamine significantly depended on pH and supporting electrolyte. The peak current increased more than one hundred folds with increasing pH from 2.5 to 10.0 in phosphate buffer. Moreover, selective oxidation of dopamine against 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid at bare ITO was observed. It is the first electrode material that can be produced in large scale for selective oxidation of dopamine. Selective catecholamine detection at ITO is suggested.
