Abstract
|
A carbon paste electrode modified with carbon nanotube and benzoylferrocene (BF) was fabricated. The electrochemical study of the modified electrode, as well as its efficiency for electrocatalytic oxidation of captopril (CAP), was described. The electrode was employed to study the electrocatalytic oxidation of CAP, using cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CHA) and square wave voltammetry (SWV) as diagnostic techniques. It has been found that the oxidation of CAP at the surface of modified electrode occurs at a potential of about 85 mV less positive than that of an unmodified CPE. SWV exhibits a linear dynamic range from 1.0 107 to 3.5 104 M and a detection limit of 3.0 108 M for CAP. Finally the modified electrode was used for determination of CAP in CAP tablet and urine sample.
