Sensitive Stripping Determination of Cadmium(II) and Lead(II) on Disposable Graphene Modified Screen‐Printed Electrode

Abstract

Abstract In the present work, a sensitive, facile and disposable sensing platform for trace analysis of heavy metal ions was developed at the Bi modified graphene‐poly(sodium 4‐styrenesulfonate) composite film screen printed electrode (GR/PSS/Bi/SPE). The GR/PSS/Bi/SPE improved sensitivity and linearity due to the functionalization of graphene with negatively charged PSS providing more absorbing sites. The detection limit of the GR/PSS/Bi/SPE is found to be 0.042 µg L −1 for Cd 2+ and 0.089 µg L −1 for Pb 2+ with linear responses of Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ in the range of 0.5–120 µg L −1 . Finally, the practical application was confirmed in real water with satisfactory results.
