RESUMO
A novel chemically modified electrode was constructed in this study based on the carbon nanotubes-supported Pd nanoparticles (Pd/CNTs). It was demonstrated that the sensor could be used for the determination of dopamine (DA) and paracetamol (PA). The measurements were carried out through application of cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and amperometric i-t curve. Under optimum conditions and using the amperometric i-t curve method, the modified electrode provided linear response versus dopamine concentrations in the range of 0.3 × 10-6-5.0 × 10-5 M and PA concentrations in the range of 0.2 × 10-6-6.0 × 10-5 M, respectively. The detection limits for the DA and PA were 9.1 × 10-8 M and 8.9 × 10-8 M (S/N = 3), respectively. The sensitivities for of the electrode were 0.928 and 1.532 µA µM-1 cm-1, respectively.
