Electrochemical Quantification of Dopamine in Presence of Ascorbic Acid with a Glass Carbon Electrode Modified with Poly5aphen Polymerized from a Deep Eutectic Solvent

Abstract

In this work, the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with the polymer of 5-Amino-1-10 phenanthroline (5Aphen), Poly5Aphen, from a deep eutectic solvent (DES). The electrochemical response of the modified electrode (GCE/Poly5Aphen) was established regarding the oxidation of dopamine (DA) in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) that is one of its major interferents. The results obtained by cyclic voltammetry (CV) showed that it is possible to polymerize 5Aphen on the surface of the GCE when using a DES. On the other hand, the results by CV and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) showed that, unlike the bare GCE, when using the GCE/Poly5Aphen electrode it is possible to separate the electrochemical signal of the DA and AA as result of their simultaneous oxidation over the modified surface of the electrode.
