Electrochemical/chemical synthesis of Hydroxyapatite on glassy carbon electrode for electroanalytical determination of cysteine

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) modified glassy carbon (HAp/GC) electrode was prepared through a two-step chemical reaction process: hydrogenphosphate, firstly formed by electrodeposition at constant potential, was converted into HAp film via an acid-base reaction in the second step. The electrochemical behaviour and potential of electroanalytical determination of cysteine using the HAp/GC electrode were studied using cyclic voltammetry and square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. The HAp/GC electrode exhibited great performance in determination of cysteine, owing to the high absorbability of HAp and electroanalytical properties of GC. Properties, such as absorbability of the optimized HAp film, were studied by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy analysis. Surface investigation confirmed that transport pathway has complex behavior. The presence of HAp film on the GC surface, as well as the presence of a CySH on the HAp film is also confirmed and EIS results are in the agreement with FTIR results and indicated that CySH was adsorbed onto inner surface of the pores of HAp film, resulting in a change in impedance response. Both optimized procedure and analytical applicability of HAp/GC electrode were demonstrated by direct electro-oxidation of cysteine. A linear response between 0.5 μmol dm–3 and 10 μmol dm–3 with estimated detection limit of 0.03 μmol dm–3 was obtained. A powerful electroanalytical tool was designed by simple modification of the GC electrode with biofunctional material.
