Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy results indicated that the PtNPs were inserted into the PEDOT- MeOH layer. Compared with the bare GCE and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) electrodes, the PtNPs/PEDOT-MeOH/GCE modified electrode exhibited a higher electrocatalytic ability toward the oxidation of quercetin due to the synergic effects of the electrocatalytic activity and strong adsorption ability of PtNPs together with the good water solubility and high conductivity of PEDOT-MeOH. The electrochemical sensor can be applied to the quantification of quercetin with a linear range covering 0.04-91μmol L-1 and a low detection limit of 5.2 nmol L-1. Furthermore, the modified electrode also exhibited good reoroducibilitv and long-term stability, as well as high selectivity.展开更多
