- Abstract
A graphite powder – ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, BMIMPF6) paste coated gold electrode (graphite – BMIMPF6/Au) is presented. The area and the thickness of the paste film are controlled through a sticking film with a hole. The electrode shows good stability and high electric conductivity, and K4Fe(CN)6 exhibits reversible voltammetric peaks at it. A voltammetric study of promethazine revealed that promethazine exhibits a sensitive anodic peak in pH 6.7 buffer solutions. Under the optimized conditions, the peak current is linearly related to the promethazine concentration in the range of 5.0 × 10−8–5.0 × 10−5 M. A 5 µM promethazine solution is measured successively for ten times with the same electrode, the relative standard deviation (RSD) of peak current is 1.7%. The promethazine content in a Chinese medicine (i.e. Complex Reserpine) is determined. The result is in accordance with the declared value, and the recoveries are 96.1–104%.
