Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were homogeneously electrodeposited on nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE/N-rGO-Au) in order to improve the simultaneous detection of dopamine (DA), ascorbic acid (AA), and uric acid (UA). N-rGO was prepared by the hydrothermal treatment of graphene oxide (GO) and urea at 180 °C for 12 h. AuNPs were subsequently electrodeposited onto the surface of GCE/N-rGO using 1 mM HAuCl4 solution. The morphology and chemical composition of the synthesized materials were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrochemical performance of the modified electrodes was investigated through cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry measurements. Compared to GCE/rGO-Au, GCE/N-rGO-Au exhibited better electrochemical performance towards the simultaneous detection of the three analytes due to the more homogeneous distribution of the metallic nanoparticles as a result of more efficient anchoring on the N-doped areas of the graphene structure. The GCE/N-rGO-Au-based sensor operated in a wide linear range of DA (3–100 µM), AA (550–1500 µM), and UA (20–1000 µM) concentrations with a detection limit of 2.4, 58, and 8.7 µM, respectively, and exhibited satisfactory peak potential separation values of 0.34 V (AA-DA), 0.20 V, (DA-UA) and 0.54 V (AA-UA). Remarkably, GCE/N-rGO-Au showed a very low detection limit of 385 nM towards DA, not being susceptible to interference, and maintained 90% of its initial electrochemical signal after one month, indicating an excellent long-term stability.

The electrodeposition of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) film with preferred vertical orientation was fabricated on a glassy carbon electrode by using pulse potential method in a graphene oxide solution. The rGO film was applied in developing a high-sensitive electrochemical sensor for detection of levodopa (L-dopa). The new electrochemical sensor displayed a significant response to L-dopa because of its excellent electric conductivity and large specific surface area. Moreover, the determination of L-dopa on this modified electrode was not interfered by the coexistence of ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA). Under the selective conditions, the modified electrode showed a linear voltammetric response to L-dopa within a certain concentration ranging from [Formula: see text][Formula: see text] mol L[Formula: see text], with the detection limit of [Formula: see text] mol L[Formula: see text]. Besides, the modified electrode also exhibited an excellent selectivity, stability, reproducibility and repeatability.
