Nitrogen Defect-Rich Graphitic Carbon Nitride for Highly Sensitive Voltammetric Determination of Tryptophan.

ABSTRACT: Here, a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for detection of tryptophan (Trp) using a nitrogen defect graphitic carbon nitride-modified glassy carbon electrode (ND-CN/GCE) was introduced. ND-CN/GCE showed a higher oxidation current for Trp than the graphitic carbon nitride-modified glassy carbon electrode (g-CN/GCE) and bare glassy carbon electrode (BGCE). The synthesized nitrogen defect-rich graphitic carbon nitride (ND-CN) was characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry were used to further analyze the electrochemical properties of BGCE, g-CN/GCE, and ND-CN/GCE
