Simultaneous Determination of Hydroquinone and Catechol at a Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes

Simultaneous Determination of Hydroquinone and Catechol at a Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified... A simply and high selectively electrochemical method for simultaneous determination of hydroquinone and catechol has been developed at a glassy carbon electrode modified with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNT). It was found that the oxidation peak separation of hydroquinone and catechol and the oxidation currents of hydroquinone and catechol greatly increase at MWNT modified electrode in 0.20 M acetate buffer solution (pH 4.5). The oxidation peaks of hydroquinone and catechol merge into a large peak of 302 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl, 3 M NaCl) at bare glassy carbon electrode. The two corresponding well‐defined oxidation peaks of hydroquinone in the presence of catechol at MWNT modified electrode occur at 264 mV and 162 mV, respectively. Under the optimized condition, the oxidation peak current of hydroquinone is linear over a range from 1.0×10−6 M to 1.0×10−4 M hydroquinone in the presence of 1.0×10−4 M catechol with the detection limit of 7.5×10−7 M and the oxidation peak current of catechol is linear over a range from 6.0×10−7 M to 1.0×10−4 M catechol in the presence of 1.0×10−4 M hydroquinone with the detection limit of 2.0×10−7 M. The proposed method has been applied to simultaneous determination of hydroquinone and catechol in a water sample with simplicity and high selectivity. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Electroanalysis Wiley

Abstract

A simply and high selectively electrochemical method for simultaneous determination of hydroquinone and catechol has been developed at a glassy carbon electrode modified with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNT). It was found that the oxidation peak separation of hydroquinone and catechol and the oxidation currents of hydroquinone and catechol greatly increase at MWNT modified electrode in 0.20 M acetate buffer solution (pH 4.5). The oxidation peaks of hydroquinone and catechol merge into a large peak of 302 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl, 3 M NaCl) at bare glassy carbon electrode. The two corresponding well‐defined oxidation peaks of hydroquinone in the presence of catechol at MWNT modified electrode occur at 264 mV and 162 mV, respectively. Under the optimized condition, the oxidation peak current of hydroquinone is linear over a range from 1.0×10−6 M to 1.0×10−4 M hydroquinone in the presence of 1.0×10−4 M catechol with the detection limit of 7.5×10−7 M and the oxidation peak current of catechol is linear over a range from 6.0×10−7 M to 1.0×10−4 M catechol in the presence of 1.0×10−4 M hydroquinone with the detection limit of 2.0×10−7 M. The proposed method has been applied to simultaneous determination of hydroquinone and catechol in a water sample with simplicity and high selectivity.
