Electrocatalytic oxidation behavior of NADH at Pt/Fe3O4/reduced-graphene oxide nanohybrids modified glassy carbon electrode and its determination.

We have developed Pt/Fe3O4/reduced-graphene oxide nanohybrids modified glassy carbon (Pt/Fe3O4/RGO/GC) electrode as a novel system for the preparation of electrochemical sensing platform. Characterization of as-made composite was determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and energy-dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDAX) where the Pt, Fe, Si, O and C elements were observed. The Pt/Fe3O4/RGO/GC electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Due to the synergistic effect between Pt, Fe3O4 and RGO, the nanohybrid exhibited excellent performance toward dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidation in 0.1M phosphate buffer solution, pH7.0, with a low detection limit of 5nM.
