Voltammetric Detection of Lead Using Chitosan-tripolyphosphate Crosslinked Electrode

Abstract

This paper discusses about the improvement of electrochemical characteristics of graphite paste electrode chemically modified with chitosan through physical crosslinking of the biopolymer with sodium tripolyphosphate. Biopolymer characterizations were performed by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The electrochemical characterization of Pb with graphite paste electrode modified with chitosan crosslinked with sodium tripolyphosphate (GPE-CTS-TPP) showed that the process is quasireversible, controlled by adsorption and involves the transfer of two electrons. Additionally, the physical crosslinking process decreased the electrode resistance as well as improved the electron transfer rate. Once the GPE-CTS-TPP showed enhanced morphological and electrochemical characteristics, it was applied for Pb determination by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. The method presented appropriate accuracy (recoveries from 95 to 108% and concordance with comparative method between 90 and 107%), high sensitivity (limit of detection and quantification of Pb were 0.73 and 2.44 μg L-1 , respectively) and could be applied to analytical determinations.

“…Nowadays, the chemical modification of carbon surface has attracted great attention in various fields such as electroanalytical chemistry. [18][19][20][21][22] Electrochemical sulfite detection may be based on direct sulfite reduction on glassy carbon 23 or after electrode modification. 24 Otherwise, direct sulfite oxidation may be obtained at platinum, 25 gold, 26 glassy carbon, 27 and platinum-modified glassy carbon.…”
