Abstract

The current study highlights the design and construction of a sensitive and selective sensor for detection of dopamine and tyrosine using a GO-SnS2 quantum dots by a drop casting method on glassy carbon electrode. Highly porous nano-crystalline GO-SnS2 quantum dots were synthesized by using ultrasonication followed by hydrothermal method in a facile manner. XRD, SEM, XPS, TEM, and pore size distribution techniques were used to characterize the quantum dots that were produced. The newly fabricated electrode was evaluated for EIS (Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy), CV (cyclic voltammetry) and chronoamperometric methods. The observed limit of detection of dopamine was observed to be 26 nM. High selectivity and sensitivity were observed for electrochemical detection of dopamine and tyrosine.
