Abstract:
AimTo fabricate multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) modified electrode and study the electrochemical behaviors of diethylstilbestrol at the MWNT-modified electrode. MethodsCyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry. ResultsThe oxidation peak current of diethylstilbestrol increased remarkably and the peak potential shifted negatively at the MWNT-dihexadecyl hydrogen phosphate (DHP) modified glassy carbon electrode(GCE), in contrast to that at the bare GC electrode and DHP-modified GC electrode. The oxidation peak current is linear with the concentration of diethylstilbestrol over the range from 1×10
-8 to 2×10
-6 mol·L
-1. The detection limit was 2.5×10
-9 mol·L
-1. The relative standard deviation (
n=10) was 2.9% for 1×10
-6 mol·L
-1 diethylstilbestrol. ConclusionThe MWNT-DHP modified GCE exhibits catalytic activity to the oxidation of diethylstilbestrol.
