Abstract
All-solid state screen-printed electrodes were fabricated for chlorogenic acid (CGA) detection. The screen-printed platforms were modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to work as a lipophilic solid-contact transducer. The sensing-membrane was plasticized with a suitable solvent mediator and incorporating [Ni(bathophenanthroline)][CGA] complex as a sensory material. In a 30 mM phosphate solution (buffer, pH 6), the sensor revealed a Nernstian-response towards CGA ions with a slope of -55.1 ± 1.1 ( = 0.9997) over the linear range 1.0 × 10 to 1.0 × 10 (0.035-354.31 μg mL) with a detection limit 7.0 × 10 M (24.8 ng mL). It revealed a stable potentiometric response with excellent reproducibility and enhanced selectivity over several common ions. Short-term potential stability and the interfacial sensor capacitance was estimated using both electrochemical-impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and chronopotentiometry techniques. The presented electrochemical platform revealed the merits of design simplicity, ease of miniaturization, good potential-stability, and cost-effectiveness. It is successfully applied to CGA determination in different coffee beans extracts and juice samples. The data obtained were compared with those obtained by liquid chromatography reference method (HPLC).
