Abstract

A voltammetric sensor is described for the quantitation of propyl gallate (PG). A screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was modified with reduced graphene sheets that were decorated with cobalt diselenide nanoparticles (CoSe 2 @rGO). The material was hydrothermally prepared and characterized by several spectroscopic techniques. The modified SPCE displays excellent electrocatalytic ability towards PG. Differential pulse voltammetry, with a peak voltage at 0.34 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) has a sensitivity of 12.84 μA·μM −1 ·cm −2 and a detection limit as low as 16 nM. The method is reproducible, selective, and practical. This method was applied to the determination of PG in spiked meat samples, and the result showed an adequate recovery.
