In this work, a novel electrochemical sensor was presented for Tanshinone IIA determination. The as-prepared electrode was prepared by electrodepositing a reduced graphene oxide film onto a carbon paste electrode modified with gold nanoparticles, which combined the advantages of both gold nanoparticles and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide. It was characterized with scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemical behavior of Tanshinone IIA at the modified electrode was investigated for the first time. Results revealed that the modified electrode can effectively increase response toward Tanshinone IIA by significantly enhancing the redox peak currents and decreasing the peak-to-peak separation. Under the optimized conditions, the modified electrode showed a linear voltammetric response to Tanshinone IIA at concentrations ranging from [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mol L[Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mol L[Formula: see text], with a detection limit of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mol L[Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]). The proposed method was successfully applied in determination of Tanshinone IIA in pharmaceutical samples with satisfactory results.

Poly(methylene blue) and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide composite film modified electrode (PMB-ERGO/GCE) was successfully fabricated by electropolymerization and was used for simultaneous determination of uric acid (UA) and xanthine (Xa). Based on the excellent electrocatalytic activity of PMB-ERGO/GCE, the electrochemical behaviors of UA and Xa were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). Two anodic sensitive peaks at 0.630 V (versus Ag/AgCl) for UA and 1.006 V (versus Ag/AgCl) for Xa were given by CV in pH 3.0 phosphate buffer. The calibration curves for UA and Xa were obtained in the range of 8.00 × 10−8~4.00 × 10−4 M and 1.00 × 10−7~4.00 × 10−4 M, respectively, by SWV. The detection limits for UA and Xa were3.00×10-8 M and5.00×10-8 M, respectively. Finally, the proposed method was applied to simultaneously determine UA and Xa in human urine with good selectivity and high sensitivity.

Palm oil is one of the major oils and fats produced in the world today. The quality of palm oil is crucial to be investigated, and one of the quality indices is free fatty acid (FFA) content. Therefore, in this study, an electrochemical approach for the determination of FFA has been explored as an alternative to replace the conventional method (titration method). The electrochemical method was developed based on electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (rGO) coupled with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) deposited onto a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) via drop-casting technique. The voltammetric behaviour of 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (VK3) in the presence of palmitic acid at the modified electrode was investigated in an acetonitrile/water mixture containing lithium perchlorate (LiClO4). The electrochemical detection of palmitic acid was based on the voltammetric reduction of VK3 to form the corresponding hydroquinone which is proportional to the concentration of palmitic acid. Under optimum conditions, the developed method showed a good linear relationship towards palmitic acid in the concentration ranging from 0.192 mM to 0.833 mM with the detection limit of 0.015 mM. The exploration of the developed system is expected to achieve high sensitivity and excellent selectivity towards the determination of FFA content in palm oil.
