Resumo
Abstract—The Pt nanoparticles-functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) modified glassy carbon electrodes were used to study the electrooxidation of nitrite. Pt nanoparticles were electrodeposited on the f-MWCNTs modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode by applying a constant potential to the electrode for a specific time. By applying optimized conditions (using Minitab software), Pt/MWCNTs/GC electrode was prepared by immobilizing 40 μL of f-MWCNTs on the GC electrode and applying a potential of–0.20 V vs. Ag/AgCl for 120 s. The electrooxidation of nitrite was studied on the prepared electrode in 0.1 M KCl solution. The amperometric response of the prepared electrode linearly changes with the concentration of nitrite from 4.0 μM to 2.4 mM. The detection limit of the electrode was found to be 1.5 μM (S/N = 3) with a sensitivity of 28.7 μA/mM.
