  • Characterization of the modified electrode using cyclic voltammetry and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
  • Electrochemical determination of catechol based on the reduction of biocatalytically generated quinone species.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed biosensor demonstrated excellent stability, sensitivity, and a low detection limit (0.002 μM) for catechol.
    • A wide linear range (0.005 μM-120 μM) and a rapid response time (7 s) were achieved.
    • The biosensor exhibited reusability up to 5 cycles and a shelf life exceeding 2 months.

    Conclusions:

    • The GCE/PolyPATT/Den(AuNPs)/tyrosinase nanobiosensor is a promising tool for efficient catechol detection.
    • The optimized biosensor shows practical applicability for analyzing catechol in real water samples.
    • This approach offers a robust platform for developing advanced electrochemical biosensors.
