This invention discloses a method for preparing a molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor for detecting
cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). The sensor uses reduced
graphene oxide (RGO) and gold nanoparticles as modifying materials. RGO is drop-coated onto the surface of a
glassy carbon electrode and dried to obtain a modified
electrode RGO / GCE. The RGO / GCE is then placed in a
sulfuric acid deposition solution containing
chloroauric acid, and gold nanoparticles are used to modify the RGO / GCE surface using a potentiostatic method to form a gold substrate, resulting in a deposited
electrode AuNPs / RGO / GCE. The AuNPs / RGO / GCE is then electropolymerized in an
electrolyte polymerization solution containing the template substance cAMP and the
functional monomer o-phenylenediamine to obtain a dense and insulating
polymer film. The polymerized electrode is immersed in an
elution solution and eluted using
cyclic voltammetry to obtain MIP / AuNPs / RGO / GCE. This sensor exhibits specific recognition selectivity for cAMP, high detection sensitivity, low
detection limit, good
reusability, and stability.
