A Novel Sensor Based on Electropolymerization Poly(safranine) Film Electrode for Voltammetric Determination of 4-Nitrophenol

摘要

A novel poly(safranine)-modified electrode has been constructed for the determination of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in natural water sample. The electrochemical behavior of poly(safranine) film electrode and its electrocatalytic activity toward 4- NP were studied in detail by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and adsorptive linear stripping voltammetry (LSV). All experimental parameters were optimized and LSV was proposed for its determination. In optimal working conditions, the reduction current of 4-NP at this poly(safranine)-modified electrode exhibited a good linear relationship with 4-NP concentration in the range of 8.0 】 10^-8 to 4.0 】 10^-5 mol L^-1. The detection limit was 3.0 】 10^-8 mol L^-1. The high sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor were demonstrated by its practical application for the determination of trace amounts of 4-NP in natural water and fruit samples.
