Abstract

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (nano-ZnO) was used to modify carbon paste electrode (CPE) for a fast and sensitive electrochemical determination of gallic acid (GA). The study was carried out using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential voltammetry (DPV) techniques, where the nano-ZnO-modified electrode exhibited an efficient and sensitive oxidation of GA. The cyclic voltammetric result showed a significant enhancement of the peak current from 250μA to about 410μA. The electrochemical behaviour of GA on the nano-ZnO modified carbon paste electrode was studied using DPV, showing a sensitivity of the electrode in a concentration range of 1 x 10−6 to 5.0 x 10−5 mol L−1, with a correlation coefficient R2 of 0.9968 and a limit of detection of 1.86 x 10−7 mol L−1 (S/N =3). The proposed electrode was used successfully for the determination of GA in red wine with recoveries of 103%.
