Abstract

In this study, undoped and nano Fe doped SnO2 nanostructures were synthesized by hydrothermal method. Characterization of the synthesized nanostructures was performed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. For investigation of optical properties, photo luminescence and UV–Vis spectrum were taken. The electrochemical response of the carbon paste electrode modified with synthesized nanostructures toward levodopa (L-Dopa) was studied. Cyclic voltammetry studies using prepared modified electrodes showed outstanding electrocatalytic properties towards electro-oxidation of L-Dopa and a significant reduction was observed in anodic over voltage compared to the bare electrode. Obtained results indicated the effective role of the employed dopant. Best response in terms of the current enhancement, overvoltage reduction, and reversibility improvement of the L-Dopa oxidation reaction under experimental conditions was obtained by modified electrode with Fe doped SnO2 nanoparticles.
