Abstract: | Electropolymerization of carbazole (Cz) by cyclic voltammetry (CV) onto carbon fiber microelectrodes (CFME) (diameter ∼7 μm)
in dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) solution of 0.1 mol·dm−3 tetraethyl ammonium perchlorate (TEAP) results in the formation of polycarbazole (PCz) thin film coatings. CV results showed
that these PCz thin films have reversible redox behavior in monomer-free electrolyte solution. The resulting thin polymer
films were characterized using Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) and atomic
force microscopy (AFM). Results performed at optimum experimental conditions indicate that electrodes show a reversible and
stable behavior over sixty eight days of testing for dopamine in 100 μmol·dm−3 buffer solution. A detection limit for PCz thin films as low as 0.1 μM (3S/N) was obtained for the polycarbazole (PCz) thin
films formed using CV. Hence, this novel sensor can be considered as promising sensor for dopamine detection. |
