Abstract

New materials based on V2O5, TeO2 and a combination of graphite, graphene oxide and multiwalled carbon nanotubes were developed and tested as potential electrochemical sensors. A mixture design with three components in combination with multi-response assays based on the desirability function was used as multivariate optimization for the system composition. The optimal sensor contains graphene oxide and multiwalled carbon in approximately equal amounts. The new sensors characterizations were performed with X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The main advantage of this electrodes are does not requires surface activation and exhibited a potential electroanalytical performance with different targeted analytes such as ascorbic acid, aspartame and lead.
