Electrocatalytic Oxidation Of Salicylic Acid At Novel Gold Nanoparticle-Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode, Yan-Ping Cui, Chang-Zhu Yang, Jian Huang, Wen-Hong Pu, Jing-Dong Zhang

Journal of Electrochemistry

A gold nano-particles modified glassy carbon electrode(GNP/GCE) was prepared by the"seed-mediated gold nano-particles growth method".Field emission scanning electron microscopy,ultraviolet-visible(UV-vis) spectroscopy analysis and electroalaylsis were employed to study the morphology and electrochemical performances.The resulting electrode showed excellent electro-catalytic activity toward the oxidation of salicylic acid and the response sensitivity was 1.8 fold than that obtained on GCE.Good linear relationship was obtained between response current and salicylic acid concentration in the range of 5.0 × 10-7 ~8.0 × 10-5 mol/L,which could be used in the detection of trace salicylic acid.
