In this proposed work, direct green 6 (DG6) decorated carbon paste electrode (CPE) was fabricated for the efficient simultaneous and individual sensing of catechol (CA) and hydroquinone (HY). Electrochemical deeds of the CA and HY were carried out by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at poly-DG6-modfied carbon paste electrode (Po-DG6-MCPE). Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studied the surface property of unmodified CPE (UCPE) and Po-DG6-MCPE. The decorated sensor displayed admirable electrocatalytic performance with fine stability, reproducibility, selectivity, low limit of detection (LLOD) for HY (0.11 μM) and CC (0.09 μM) and sensor process was originated to be adsorption-controlled phenomena. The Po-DG6-MCPE sensor exhibits well separated two peaks for HY and CA in CV and DPV analysis with potential difference of 0.098 V. Subsequently, the sensor was practically applied for the analysis in tap water and it consistent in-between for CA 93.25–100.16% and for HY 97.25–99.87% respectively.

In the present work, the ZnO and Al-ZnO nanoflakes (NFs) were synthesized by the co-precipitation process. The synthesized NFs were characterized by X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy. Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer was explored for the elemental chemical compositions. The prepared NFs were taken for the modification of the electrode and developed the modified electrode for the electrochemical analysis of the dopamine (DOA) at pH 7.4. The Al-ZnO modified carbon paste electrode (MCPE) was electropolymerised by using textile dye red DSBR. The Po-RD/Al-ZnO MCPE exhibited good electrochemical sensor properties towards the electrochemical detection of DOA. Several factors such as the impact of speed rate (υ), pH and concentration of the DOA were analyzed at the modified electrode. The great sensitivity was established to the fast electron-transfer kinetics and surface coverage of the DOA on the electrode. The prepared electrode exhibits satisfactory stability at the ambient conditions. The detection limit of 0.58 μM was achieved for the DOA. The decorated sensor was stable, sensitive, selective, and reproducible and used in the analytical applications.
