Cationic dyes immobilized on cellulose acetate surface modified with titanium dioxide: factorial design and an application as sensor for NADH

Abstract

As propriedades eletroquímicas dos corantes catiônicos, azul de meldola e azul de toluidina, imobilizados na superfície do acetato de celulose modificado com dióxido de titânio foram investigadas por voltametria cíclica. Os materiais sintetizados foram empregados como eletrodos de pasta de carbono. As propriedades mediadoras redox dos eletrodos modificados quimicamente com azul de meldola e azul de toluidina foram otimizadas utilizando um planejamento fatorial consistindo de dois níveis e quatro fatores com dois pseudo-pontos centrais (n=20 experimentos). A análise fatorial foi realizada para investigar as melhores condições de reversibilidade do processo redox tais como uma diminuição na separação entre os picos de potenciais anódico e catódico e razão de corrente próxima da unidade. Os fatores que apresentaram efeitos significantes na otimização global do sistema e que permitiram alcançar as melhores condições de reversibilidade de transferência de elétrons foram os fatores principais velocidade de varredura e tipo de eletrodo (azul de meldola ou azul de toluidina) além dos fatores de interação concentração do KCl × tipo de eletrodo (B×D) e a interação pH × [KCl] × velocidade de varredura (A×B×C). As melhores condições de reversibilidade eletroquímica obtidas foram: o eletrodo CA-TiO 2 -MB, KCl 1,0 mol L -1 como eletrólito suporte e velocidade de varredura de 10,0 mV s -1 . Adicionalmente, o eletrodo modificado CA-TiO 2 -MB foi testado como sensor amperométrico para a determinação de NADH com um limite de detecção de 0,1 µmol L -1 .The electrochemical properties of meldola blue and toluidine blue cationic dyes immobilized on cellulose acetate surface modified with titanium dioxide were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The materials synthesized were employed as carbon paste electrodes. The redox mediator properties of the meldola blue and toluidine blue chemically modified electrodes were optimized using a factorial design, consisting of two levels and four factors with two pseudo-central points (n= 20 experiments). The factorial analysis was carried out by searching for better reversibility of the redox process, such as the lowest separation between anodic and cathodic potential peaks and a current ratio near unity. The factors that presented significant effects on the overall optimization of the system to achieve the best conditions of the reversibility of electron transfer were the main factors scan rate and type of electrode (meldola blue or toluidine blue), besides the interaction factors KCl concentration × type of electrode (B×D) and the pH × [KCl] concentration × scan rate (A×B×C) interaction. The best electrochemical reversibility conditions obtained were: using the CA-TiO 2 -MB electrode, 1.0 mol L -1 KCl as supporting electrolyte, at scan rate of 10.0 mV s -1 . Afterwards, the CA-TiO 2 -MB modified electrode was tested as an amperometric sensor for the determination of NADH, with a detection limit of 0.1 µmol L -1 .Keywords: meldola blue, toluidine blue, modified cellulose acetate, factorial desig...

Construction of new sensors with copper and cobalt com¬ple¬xes anchored on organofunctionalized silica and their use for electrocatalytic oxidation of reagents of biological interest

“…The nature of supporting electrolyte that was changed by varying the cation and anion (phosphate buffer, KCl, NH4Cl, NaNO3 and NH4NO3) did not produce any significant influence on E1/2. Such results suggested that these supporting electrolytes are not interacting with the matrix surface and produce no significant change of the midpoint potential [20].…”
