摘要: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been employed as supporting materials for the dispersion of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to achieve improved catalytic properties. However, the application of CNT-AuNP composites for the evaluation of chlorophenols (CPs) is not reported. Herein, gold nanoparticle/carboxyl functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (AuNPs@cMWCNT) nanocomposites were synthesized via an in situ reduction method and further characterized with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The AuNPs@cMWCNT modified glassy carbon electrode was subsequently prepared as a sensor for the electrochemical detection of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). The electro-oxidation of 4-CP on the sensor is an adsorption-controlled irreversible process, which undergoes a two-electron and two-proton transfer. Under the optimal conditions, the oxidation peak current was proportional to the 4-CP concentration in the range of 0.3 to 400 mu M, with a detection limit of 0.11 mu M. The experimental data demonstrate that the sensor has great reproducibility, long-term stability, high specificity and excellent feasibility. The AuNPs@cMWCNT based sensor could be a facile, low-cost and rapid tool for the potential on-line monitoring of 4-CP in practical applications.
