Preparation of Platinum Nanoparticles-Graphene Modified Electrode and Selective Determination of Rutin by Shu-Hong Yu, Guang-Chao Zhao

“…Under the optimal conditions, the peak currents of differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) increased linearly with the rutin concentration in the range from 2.0×10−8 to 8.0×10−5 M with a limit of detection of 6.7×10−9 M. The as-prepared electrode was successfully used for the selective determination of rutin in tablet, displaying a potential application of graphene composite modified electrode.…”
