SiO2/C/Cu(II)phthalocyanine as a biomimetic catalyst for dopamine monooxygenase in the development of an amperometric sensor

► Copper phthalocyanine, CuPc, synthesized in situ inside the pores of carbon ceramic matrix, highly and homogeneously dispersed. ► (CuPc) biomimetic catalyst for dopamine monooxygenase. ► Very stable biomimetic sensor for dopamine. ► Highly selective sensor.
