Abstract

Abstract A simple, environment-friendly, cost-effective procedure is proposed for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous leaf extract of Ziziphus mauritiana ( Zm L) as reducing as well as stabilizing agent and its application on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the detection of dopamine by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Results showed a substantial enhancement of peak current using Ag@GCE as compared to bare-GCE for the detection of neurotransmitter dopamine. The synthesized Zm L-AgNPs were characterized using ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). We investigated the electrochemical responses of both bare-GCE and Ag-assembled GCE using cyclic voltammetry to delineate the performance enhancement due to Zm L-AgNPs. The present Zm L-AgNP-assembled GCE displayed very high sensitivity and selectivity with excellent linear calibration range 10–100 µM for detection of dopamine with a limit of detection and limit of quantification values 0.1 and 0.3 µM, respectively. The sensor was successfully applied for dopamine detection in real urine samples.
