Graphene paste electrode for detection of chlorpromazine

This work describes a novel type of working electrode for use in voltammetry methods. Graphene is ideally suited for implementation in electrochemical applications due to its reported large electrical conductivity, large surface area, unique heterogeneous electron transfer rate, and low production costs. This paper presents a method for the construction of graphene paste electrode (GPE) from graphene. The GPE is not needed to be modified, because the surface of graphene is functionalized. Direct electrochemical detection of drug is of high importance in analytical chemistry. Here, the GPE was successfully used for the determination of chlorpromazine. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
