The electrochemical properties of one novel carbon material, ordered mesoporous carbons (OMC), synthesized by templating SBA-15 mesoporous silica materials and the electrocatalytic behaviors of OMC modified electrode towards the oxidation of dopamine (DA) and ascorbic acid (AA) were studied. Cyclic voltammetry was used to evaluate the electrochemical behaviors of OMC in 5 mM K3Fe(CN)(6)/ 0.1 M KCI solution. OMC showed a faster electron transfer rate, as compared with glass carbon (GC) electrode. The higher electron transfer kinetics can be attributed to the existence of a large amount of edge plane defect sites in the OMC materials, which was verified by Raman spectroscopy. The cyclic voltammetric studies also showed the presence of oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of OMC. Furthermore, the OMC modified electrode showed high electrocatalytic activities toward the oxidation of DA and AA, and resolved their voltammetric responses into two well-defined peaks with peak separation of ca. 0.210 V. The OMC modified electrode could be effectively used for the selective electrochemical determination of DA in the presence of AA. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
