Environmentally Friendly Reduction of Graphene Oxide
Abstract: Herein, we report on the simultaneous reduc- urements. The rGO/Tyr nanomaterial displayed good
tion and functionalization of graphene oxide (GO) with electrocatalytic activity for the detection of hydrogen per-
environmentally friendly tyrosine through the direct reac- oxide (H2O2) with a wide linear range from 100 mM to
tion of GO with tyrosine (Tyr) at 100 8C for 24 h. The re- 2.1 mM, a detection limit of 80 mM and a sensitivity of
sultant material (rGO/Tyr) has been characterized using 69.07 mA mM 1 cm 2. In addition, the rGO/Tyr electrode
UV-vis spectrometry, FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray photo- showed good selectivity for H2O2 detection in the pres-
electron spectroscopy (XPS), and electrochemical meas- ence of uric acid, ascorbic acid, dopamine and glucose.
