A novel electrochemical sensing platform based on nitrogen-doped graphene (N-G)/nickel tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine (NiTsPc) nanocomposites has been developed for selective determination of dopamine (DA). NiTsPc was immobilized on N-G matrix via pi-pi interaction, while N-G provided a compatible microenvironment for NiTsPc to enhance electron transfer and to retain its electrocatalytic activity as well. The N-G/NiTsPc nanocomposite was characterized by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The proposed modified electrode presented superior catalytic efficiency for DA in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) owing to the synergistic effect of N-G and NiTsPc. The sensors also exhibited a wide linear range from 1 x 10(-7) to 2 x 10(-4) M and a limit of detection as low as 100 nM with high sensitivity of 88.9 mu A mM(-1) (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
