Abstract:
Iron-based electrochemical catalysts used to modify electrodes for biosensing have received more attention from biosensor manufacturers because of their excellent biocompatibility and low cost. In this work, a fast-ion conductor potassium ferrite (K2Fe4O7) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was prepared for detecting epinephrine (EP) by electrochemical techniques. The obtained K2Fe4O7/GCE electrode exhibited not only a wide linear range over EP concentration from 2 μM to 260 μM with a detection limit of 0.27 μM (S/N = 3) but also high selectivity toward EP in the presence of common interferents ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA), as well as good reproducibility and stability.
