Fabrication of biocompatible electrodes for the investigation of catecholamines is a known challenge. In this work, methionine was chosen as a modifier for fabrication of a biocompatible carbon paste electrode by electropolymerization, through cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemical behavior of the poly(methionine) modified carbon paste electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry for simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA) in a phosphate-buffered solution at pH 7.0. In the absence of an amino acid methionine layer, the bare carbon paste electrode exhibits rather poor voltammetric signals in DA and UA in the binary mixture, with oxidation potentials of DA and UA overlapping with each other. The poly(methionine) modified carbon paste electrode exhibits good catalytic activity with noticeably different oxidation potentials of DA and UA. The experimental results closely agree with the theoretical prediction based on a Fukui function complementary to the simulated electrostatic potential maps.

The deposition and dissolution of palladium at non-modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) is studied by cyclic voltammetry in chloride solutions (c ≥ 0.5 M KCl and pH 3 to 6). The Pd0 is deposited from tetrachloropalladate solution by potential cycles from E ≥ 0 V (vs Ag/AgCl) or positive potentials up to -0.5 V or by potentiostatic treatment at E ≤ 0 V. Oxidation peaks appear during potential sweep to positive direction after the preceding deposition of Pd. The appearance of two anodic peaks depends mainly on the amount of Pd0 deposited. The peak at about +0.1 V is caused by the dissolution of a palladium mono- or submonolayer, whereas the oxidation peak at more positive potentials is attributed to the dissolution of Pd from a palladium multilayer. After palladium deposition and potential sweep to positive potentials E > +0.8 V (or potentiostatic treatment at E > +0.8 V), a cathodic peak appears at about 0 V and corresponding anodic peak at +0.1 V. It is concluded that these peaks are caused by reduction and oxidation of the chloropalladate surface complex formed during preceding application of anodic potentials. Reaction schemes of PdII/Pd0 and chloropalladate complex are discussed.
