• A sensor based on AuNPs hosted in PTAP polymeric film was fabricated for the first time.
• Synergetic combination of AuNPs·PTAP shows a pronounced electron transfer capacity.
• Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters for DA oxidation were evaluated.
• Current protocol is a highly practical approach and convenient for dopamine analysis.
The catalytic activity of surface materials composed of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) hosted in poly(triaminopyrimidine) (PTAP) towards dopamine (DA) oxidation was studied under static and hydrodynamic conditions. The hybrid composition of the electrode surface (AuNPs·PTAP) shows a pronounced electron transfer capacity estimated from the application of Nicholson model. The electrochemical behavior of dopamine (DA) is diagnosed by the development of reversible peak currents characteristic for the transfer of two electrons. The apparent diffusion coefficient (DDAapp) and the heterogeneous rate constant (ks) for DA oxidation were estimated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA) based on well-known relevant electrochemical theories. The DDAapp is found to vary significantly with DA concentrations, [DA], and attain a maximum value of 8.65 × 10− 5 cm2 s− 1 at 60 μM [DA]. A remarkable value of ks was obtained at low [DA] and approached a steady value of 4.25 × 10− 2 cm s− 1 above 50 μM [DA]. The estimated thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of DA were compared concurrently with the reported values for possible validation.
