摘要
An ionic liquid bulk-modified carbon paste electrode （M-CPE） has been fabricated by using 1-heptyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide as a modifier. Cyclic voltammetry （CV） and differential pulse voltammetry （DPV） were used to evaluate the electrocatalytic activity of the proposed electrode by choosing p-aminophenol （p-AP） as a model compound. Both at a bare carbon paste electrode （CPE） and the M-CPE, p-AP yielded a pair of redox peaks in 0.1 mol·L^-1 phosphate buffer solution （PBS, pH 7.0）. At the CPE, the peak-to-peak potential separation （AEp） was 0.233 V, while at the M-CPE the AEp was decreased to 0.105 V. Furthermore, the current response to p-AP at the M-CPE was 10.2 times of that at the CPE by DPV. The electron transfer rate constant （ks） ofp-AP at the M-CPE was 13.3 times of that at the CPE. Under the optimal condition, a linear dependence of the catalytic current versus p-AP concentration was obtained in the range of 2.0× 10^- 6 to 3.0× 10^- 4 mol·L^-1 with a detection limit of 6.0× 10^-7 mol·L^-1 by DPV. In addition, compared to other modified method the proposed electrode exhibited distinct advantages of simple prapartion, surface renewal, good reproducibility and good stability. It has been used to determine p-AP in simulated wastewater samples.
