A strategy for the ultra-sensitive detection of Pb2+ in aqueous media has been developed. The combination of oxidative exfoliation of graphite and subsequent chemical amination resulted in an amine functionalized graphene oxide, which showed ultra-high sensitivity in detecting Pb2+, as it is an active material in modified anodic stripping voltammetry. A detection limit of as low as 10(-13) M (0.1 pM) has been reached, which is comparable to the result obtained from atomic absorption spectrometry, but is dramatically lower than that from other reported electrochemical analysis methods. This simple and economic approach opens up a new window for the portable, quick, and ultra-sensitive detection of lead ions.
