Electrochemically reduced graphene oxide integrated with carboxylated-8-carboxamidoquinoline: A platform for highly sensitive voltammetric detection of Zn(II) ion by screen-printed... by Ling Ling Tan, Nur Syamimi Mohamad, Nurul Izzaty Hassan, Choo Ta Goh

“…The CACQ-modified wrinkled ErGO electrode conferred a large surface-to-volume ratio with multiple binding sites resulting in greater opportunity for multiple dative covalent binding events with Zn(II) via coordination chemistry, and considerably accelerated the electron transfer rate at the electrode surface. The green Zn(II) sensor demonstrated a quick response time (60 s), broad linear range [1 pM-1 μM Zn(II) ion], a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.53 pM, 35 days of storage period (≥80% of its initial response retained), good reproducibility [relative standard deviation (RSD) = 3.4%], and repeatability (RSD = 4.4%). …”
