Abstract

This study aimed at preparing and evaluating the europium oxide–reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites. Inorganic nanoparticles anchored onto rGO sheets through a facile sonochemical method. The resultant products were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM. Their activity in biomolecules’ analysis were examined by cyclic voltammetry. The rectified electrodes revealed an incredibly electroactive manner. The obtained progress provided excellent materials for scrutiny of biomolecules. The linear relationship was used in the region of 100–1500 µM ascorbic acid (AA), 50–600 µM dopamine (DA), and 10–700 µM uric acid (UA), between current intensities and concentrations. The detection restrictions (LOD) (S/N = 3) decreased to 8 µM, 1.1 µM and 0.085 µM for AA, DA and UA respectively by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). © 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
