Abstract

A novel electrochemical platform for the high sensitivity detection of riboflavin was constructed by Au nanoparticles/polydopamine/carbon nanotubes (Au-PDA-MWCNTs) nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode. The Au-PDA-MWCNTs nanocomposite was synthesized by in situ reduction method. The characteristics of the as-prepared Au-PDA-MWCNTs nanocomposite modified electrodes were investigated by using UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical methods. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were used to study the electrochemical behavior of riboflavin (RF) at Au-PDA-MWCNTs nanocomposite modified electrodes. The results demonstrated that the present electrochemical sensor exhibited a wide linear range from 5×10-9 mol•L-1to 1×10-5 mol•L-1 for detection of riboflavin, with a detection limit of 1.7×10-9 mol•L-1 (S/N = 3). The present method for high sensitivity determination of riboflavin by electrochemical method at Au-PDA-MWCNTs nanocomposite modified electrodes is simple, accurate, reliable and feasible with an excellent anti-interference ability against electroactive species and metal ions. Accordingly, the present method proved to be useful for the estimation of the RF content in pharmaceutical samples with satisfactory recovery.
