摘要

Quantum dot carbon (CQDs) is promising as a potential electrode modifier because the nanosized quantum dots with numerous electrocatalytic sites can bind tightly to the electrode without needing a binder. Humic acid extracted from natural peat has been employed to prepare CQDs using a facial hydrothermal procedure. The CQDs present spherical particles in the 3–10 nm range with a high dispersion. The results showed that the CQDs have excitation-dependent fluorescence behavior. A CQDs-modified glassy carbon electrode (CQDs/GCE) was developed to enhance the electrochemical signals for 1,3-dimethylxanthine determination effectively. The 1,3-dimethylxanthine oxidation mechanism at the obtained electrode was investigated. The prepared CQDs/GCE exhibited excellent differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) responses toward the detection of 1,3-dimethylxanthine with a limit of detection of 0.93 μM (S/N = 3) in the interval of 1.57–57.65 μM. Real sample analysis has been successfully conducted in pharmaceutical formulations, which presented good recovery results of 98.3–103.7%. In ten successive measurements at 2.5–20 μM, the relative standard deviation (RSD) was varied within 0.35–4.80%. Recording the electrochemical signals once a day using the same electrode for 7 days offers only an RSD of 1.63%. For the seven CQDs/GCEs prepared using the same procedure, the RSD of the peak current was 0.66%. These results indicated that the proposed DPV method also revealed good reproducibility, repeatability, and long-term stability, making it a promising tool for practical application.
