Abstract

An ultrasensitive micro sensor for the detection of trace lead (II) is fabricated by mixed dispersion solution of bismuth nanoparticles (Bi NPs) and PDDA, and layer-by-layer self-assembled (LBL SA) with graphene (G) suspension solution on a micro gold electrode. The LBL SA G-Bi NPs sensor performance has been greatly enhanced in determination of Pb (II) using anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). Compared with a sensor without surface modification, the sensor's stripping peak potential decreased from -0.520 V to -0.564 V, and its peak current increased from 1.227 μA to 8.372 μA. Compared with a sensor modified by LBL SA G (without Bi NPs), stripping peak potential decreased from -0.548 V to -0.572 V, the sensor's peak current increased from 0.284 μA to 1.263 μA. This sensor's limit of detection (LOD) of Pb (II) was achieved as 0.078 ppb with a sensitivity of 1.061 μA/ppb. This simple but effective graphene-metal nanocomposites construction method can be widely used in the development of highly sensitive ion sensor.
