Sensitive and Selective Electrochemical Resolution of Tyrosine with Ascorbic Acid through the Development of Electropolymerized Alizarin Sodium Sulfonate Modified Carbon Nanotube Paste Electrodes

Abstract

Abstract An approachable and a selective electrocatalytic investigation of tyrosine (TR) with ascorbic acid (AA) in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) was done using a sensitive Poly Alizarin sodium sulfonate modified Carbon nanotube paste electrode (PASSMCNTPE). The morphological and elemental studies on PASSMCNTPE and bare carbon nanotube paste electrode (BCNTPE) were resolute through field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX). The PASSMCNTPE shows excellent sensitivity, selectivity, stability, repeatability, and reproducibility for the electrochemical characterization of TR through cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The prepared sensor provides an elevated current response towards TR as compared to the BCNTPE. A plot of the anodic peak current of TR and the concentration of TR was obtained linearly in the range 1.4×10 −4 M to 2×10 −4 M with the limit of detection (LOD) 7.8×10 −7 M and the limit of quantification (LOQ) 26×10 −7 M respectively. The equipped sensor was also helpful for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of TR moiety in a pharmaceutical drug as a real sample.
