International audienceIntegrated (Pt/PEDOT–Pt–Ag/AgCl) and (Au/PEDOT–Pt–Ag/AgCl) electrochemical microcells (ElecCell) were elaborated for the detection of ascorbic acid, dopamine and uric acid by differential pulse voltam-metry. Specific attention was brought to the integration of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) film by electropolymerization. Gold and platinum working microelectrodes were investigated while using ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) electrodeposition processes in water or acetonitrile solvents. For the three antioxidant species, best (multi-)detection properties were obtained for acetonitrile-based PEDOT films deposited on gold working electrode. Thus, using integrated (Au/PEDOT–Pt–Ag/AgCl) Elec-Cell microdevices, analytical performances were determined for ascorbic acid, dopamine and uric acid, exhibiting high selectivity (oxidation potential: −40, 150 and 280 mV, respectively), linear concentration range from 0.1 to 300 M, high sensitivities (0.85, 1.65 and 3.06 A/M cm 2 , respectively) and low detection limit (0.2 M, 0.1 M and 0.05 M, respectively)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
