Abstract
In this paper, perovskite-type SrTiO3 nanocubes decorated reduced graphene oxide is synthesized by sonochemical method. The as-synthesized SrTiO3@RGO nanocomposite was confirmed by XRD, TEM, SEM, elemental mapping and electrochemical technique. Furthermore, surface morphological and X-ray diffraction studies revealed the formation and high loading of SrTiO3 nanocubes on reduced graphene oxide matrix. The SrTiO3@RGO nanocomposite modified electrode shows an excellent electrochemical detection towards of amino acid (tryptophan). The developed sensor was showed a wide linear range from 30 nM to 917.3 mu M and detection limit is 7.15 nM. Furthermore, the sensitivity was calculated to be 9.11 mu A mu M-1 cm(2). In addition, the proposed modified sensor is exhibited good selectivity, stability, reproducibility and repeatability. The SrTiO3@RGO catalyst modified electrode was successfully applied to tryptophan analysis in biological samples.
