P53 VOLTAMMETRIC DETECTION OF MANGANESE(II)MEDIATED BY GRAPHENE OXIDE AND Fe°/MULTI-WALLEDCARBON NANOTUBE COMPOSITE MODIFIED GLASSY CARBONELECTRODEW.S.A.Wan Ahlim, S.Z. Syed Ramli, W.T. Tan*, H.N.LimDepartment of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, <strong>Universiti</strong> <strong>Putra</strong> <strong>Malaysia</strong>, 43400 <strong>UPM</strong>Serdang, Selangor, <strong>Malaysia</strong>Corresponding author:wttan@science.upm.edu.myThe reduction of Mn(II) ion in solution were studied at a graphene oxide modifiedglassy carbon electrode (GO/GCE) and nano Fe°/MWCNT modified GCE usingcyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA) and chronocoulometry (CC). Theglassy carbon electrode was modified by mechanically attaching graphene oxide andnano Fe°/MWCNT at the surface of GCE. Electrode response at both GO/GCE andnano Fe°/MWCNT/GCE modified electrode and unmodified glassy carbon electrodewere obtained for the reduction of Mn (II). The current enhancement shows a value of2.4 times at the graphene modified electrode and 2.0 times for the nano Fe°/MWCNTmodified electrode. At +807 mV vs Ag/AgCl, the reduction peak of Mn (II) appearedlower with peak shift positively when grapheme oxide modified electrode was used ascompared with that of bare GCE. Meanwhile, at -0.5 mVvs Ag/AgCl, the reductionpeak of Mn (II) decreased with peak shifting when Fe°/MWCNT modified GCEelectrode were used. The chemical and physical conditions including supportingelectrolyte, pH, concentration of Mn (II) and scan rate for maximum enhancement atthe modified solid electrodes were optimized.68 |16 th Industrial Chemistry Seminar: Chemistry- A Passport to a Brighter Future
