- Abstract
A simple and highly selective electrochemical method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC) at a glassy carbon electrode covalently modified with penicillamine (Pen). The electrode is used for the simultaneous electrochemical determination of HQ and CC and shows an excellent electrocatalytical effect on the oxidation of HQ and CC upon cyclic voltammetry in acetate buffer solution of pH 5.0. In differential pulse voltammetric measurements, the modified electrode was able to separate the oxidation peak potentials of HQ and CC present in binary mixtures by about 103 mV although the bare electrode gave a single broad response. The determination limit of HQ in the presence of 0.1 mmol L−1 CC was 1.0 × 10−6 mol L−1, and the determination limit of CC in the presence of 0.1 mmol L−1 HQ was 6.0 × 10−7 mol L−1. The method was applied to the simultaneous determination of HQ and CC in a water sample. It is simple and highly selective.
