Electrochemical characterization of redox polymer modified electrode developed for monitoring of adenine

Electrochemical characterization of redox polymer for monitoring of adenine was described in this study using poly(vinylferrocenium) (PVF+) modified platinum (Pt) electrode. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used for the surface characterization. The electrochemical behaviors of polymer modified and adenine immobilized polymer modified electrodes were investigated by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). In order to obtain more sensitive and improved electrochemical signals, analytical parameters such as the effects of polymeric film thickness, immobilization time of adenine, pH and adenine concentration were examined on the response of the polymer modified electrode. Alternating current (AC) impedance spectroscopy was used for the characterization of polymer modified and adenine immobilized polymer modified electrodes. The effect of possible interferents on the response of the electrode was examined.
