A new voltammetric sensor based on reduced graphene oxide loaded flower-like Bi2O2CO3 film for sensitive determination of urapidil

In this work, reduced graphene oxide loaded flower-like bismuth subcarbonate composite (Bi2O2CO3-rGO) has been successfully synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. The prepared Bi2O2CO3-rGO as modification composite was applied to construct voltammetric sensor for the first time. The Bi2O2CO3-rGO modified glassy carbon electrode (Bi2O2CO3-rGO/GCE) exhibited highly sensitive response to urapidil. The electrochemical behavior of urapidil was studied in detail. Under optimum conditions, a lower detection limit (1.5 × 10−9 mol L−1) and wider linear range (5.0 × 10−9 mol L−1-4.0 × 10−6 mol L−1) were achieved by the proposed sensor. Finally, the proposed method was applied to the analysis of real sample, and the results showed applicable and reliable.
