- Description: We report on the electrodeposition of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) onto the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) followed by polymerization of cobalt tetraamino phthalocyanine (CoPc(NH2)4) on top (represented as poly-CoPc(NH2)4-/AuNPs-GCE). The modified electrode where CoPc(NH2)4 is polymerized first followed by deposition of AuNPs is represented as AuNPs/poly-CoPc(NH2)4-GCE. In the absence of AuNPs, the electrode is represented as poly-CoPc(NH2)4-GCE or for AuNPs alone (AuNPs-GCE). The surface coverage was 1.5 × 10−9 mol cm−2 for AuNPs-GCE and 3.0 × 10−9 mol cm−2 for the rest of the modified electrodes. AuNPs/CoPc(NH2)4-GCE exhibited high electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of nitrite, with detection potential of 0.76 V. The catalytic rate constant of 3.96 × 107 cm3 mol−1 s−1 was obtained for nitrite oxidation.
