Electrochemical sensor for terbutaline sulfate based on a glassy carbon electrode modified with grapheme and multi-walled carbon nanotubes

A glass carbon electrode was prepared that coated with a composite film containing grapheme and multi-walled carbon nanotubes. It was used to study the electrochemical response of terbutaline sulfate. Under the optimized conditions, the oxidation peak current was found to be proportional to its concentration in the range of 0.2-5 μmol·L^-1 and 5-40 μmol·L^-1).Compared with the bare GC electrode, the GN-MWNTs-modified GC (GN-MWNTs/GC) had many advantages such as relatively high sensitivity, good stability and long life time. The modified electrode was used to determine the TES tablets with satisfactory results.
