A nanosensor was developed for hydrogen peroxide determination based on nafion/graphene oxide/silver nanoparticles/tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) modified glassy carbon electrode (N-GO/AgNPs/TBHQ/GCE). Cyclic voltammetry was used to investigate the electrochemical behavior of this modified electrode and differential pulse voltammetry was used for the reduction of H2O2. The limit of detection was 0.46 µmol L-1 and three linear calibration ranges were obtained for H2O2 determination from 1.52-9.79 µmol L-1 for first linear segment, 9.79-231.0 µmol L-1 for second linear segment and 231.0-8330.0 µmol L-1 for third linear segment. Finally, the reliability of the nanosensor was confirmed in the real sample analysis in different beverages with satisfactory results.

A trifunctional electrochemical sensor was fabricated for simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid (AA), levodopa (LD), and insulin. This was done by modifying a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with multi-walled carbon nanotubes and reactive blue 19 (RB-MWCNT-GCE). Cyclic voltammetry was used to investigate the redox properties of this modified electrode. The electro-catalytic activity of the modified electrode was studied for the oxidation of AA, LD, and insulin. By differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), the detection limits of AA, LD, and insulin were estimated to be 0.45 µmol L -1, 0.37 µmol L-1, and 0.25 µmol L-1, respectively. In DPV measurements, the RB-MWCNT-GCE could separate the oxidation peak potentials of AA, LD, uric acid (UA), insulin, and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in a mixture. The practical utility of this modified electrode was demonstrated by detecting AA, LD, UA, insulin, and ASA in real samples.
