Abstract
A simple and sensitive method was used to develop a novel sensor for determination of dacarbazine on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes/CuFe2O4 nanoparticles modified carbon paste electrode (MWCNTs/CuFe2O4/CPE). Cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to investigate the electrochemical behavior of dacarbazine at the chemically modified electrode. According to the results, MWCNTs/CuFe2O4/CPE showed high electrocatalytic activity for dacarbazine oxidation, producing a sharp oxidation peak current at about +0.80 vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode at pH 5.0. The peak current was linearly dependent on dacarbazine concentration over the range of 0.10–76.0 μmol L–1 with the detection limit (3σ) of 0.08 μmol L−1. In addition, chronoamperometry was also used to determine diffusion coefficient of dacarbazine at MWCNTs/CuFe2O4/CPE.
