Abstract:

A glassy carbon electrode modified by functionalized multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) film was prepared. Electrochemical behaviors of salbutamol on the modified electrode were investigated by cyclic voltammetric (CV) method. Results indicated that the modified electrode with MWCNTs-COOH film exhibited an excellent electro-catalysis activity to salbutamol oxidation. All experimental parameters were optimized and the oxidation peak potential of salbutamol at the modified electrode was negatively shifted to 0.601 V under the optimal conditions, which also exhibited a negative shift approximately 90 mV compared to the naked grassy carbon electrode. An excellent linear relationship between oxidation peak current and salbutamol concentration in the range from 2.09×10-7 to 2.27×10-6 mol/L was observed. The detection limit was approximately 1.9 × 10-7 mol/L. Moreover, this electrode revealed excellent reproducibility and stability.
