Bromocresol purple monomers were polymerized electrochemically at carbon nanotube modified glassy carbon electrode surface and obtained electrodes were donated as poly(BCP)/CNT/GCE. After electrochemical polymerization, Au nanoparticles were doped on the polymer film carbon nanotube modified glassy carbon electrode surface by electrochemical reduction from their acidic solutions. Modified electrodes are characterized with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The electrochemical behavior of hydrazine oxidation was investigated at gold nanoparticles modified poly(BCP)/CNT electrodes in pH 10.0 phosphate buffer solution. The obtained results were compared with other modified electrodes. The best catalytic activity was obtained at AuNPs/poly(BCP)/CNT/GCE due to the shift of oxidation peak to more negative values than other electrodes with a higher current value. The peak potential and current oxidation of hydrazine were obtained at AuNPs/poly(BCP)/CNT/GCE (-28 mV, 205 mu A) and poly(BCP)/CNT/GCE (427 mV, 80 mu A). Under optimal conditions, the calibration curves for hydrazine were obtained over the range of 5.0 x 10(-7)-1.0 x 10(-3) M. The limit of detection for hydrazine was calculated as 1.0 x 10(-7) M for AuNPs/poly(BCP)/CNT/GCE. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
