Fabrication and application of a novel plant hormone sensor for the determination of methyl jasmonate based on self-assembling of phosphotungstic acid-graphene oxide nanohybrid on graphite electrode

摘要

A novel methyl jasmonate (MeJA) sensor based on phosphotungstic acid/graphene oxide (PTA/GO) nanohybrid was developed by layer-by-layer assembling on a pre-anodized graphite electrode. Owing to the synergistic effect of the good conductivity, high surface area of GO and the solid super-acidity of PTA, the MeJA electrochemical sensor exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of alkylene group in MeJA, displaying as a wide linear response from 5.0 × 10~(-7) to 8.0 × 10~(-5) M and a low detection limit of 2.0 × 10~(-7) M in 0.1 M HCIO_4 solution.
