The synthesis of novel nanocomposites with great sensing enhancement has played an important role in analytical chemistry, especially in the electrochemical detection of drug molecules. In this work, we report a wet chemical method for the preparation of a gold nanoparticle coated -cyclodextrin functionalized reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite. A number of different analytical techniques including ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were employed to characterize the as-synthesized nanocomposite. With excellent electrocatalytic properties and high supramolecular recognition ability, the as-synthesized nanocomposite was used to modify a glassy carbon electrode surface for the sensitive determination of ciprofloxacin using voltammetric technique. The current response of ciprofloxacin on the nanocomposite modified electrode was greatly enhanced compared to that on the bare and other modified electrodes. Using differential pulse voltammetry, the oxidation peak currents increased linearly with the ciprofloxacin concentrations in the range between 0.01 to 120M with a detection limit of 2.7nM. The electrochemical testing results showed good stability and reproducibility. Therefore, the nanocomposite could be a potential candidate for the development of electrochemical sensors for sensitive and selective determination of ciprofloxacin or similar drugs in the future.
