VALERY, Hambate Gomdje; CHTAINI, Abdelilah  y  LOURA, Benoît. Voltammetric Sensor Based on Electrodes Modified by Poly(vinyl alcohol)-Natural Clay Film, for the Detection of Gallic Acid. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2019, vol.37, n.5, pp.327-333. ISSN 0872-1904.  https://doi.org/10.4152/pea.201905327.

The aim of this study was to produce an inexpensive and easy to implement electrochemical sensor. The synthesis of a composite from poly (vinyl alcohol) and natural clay enabled to obtain a material with interesting properties, in view of the results achieved from thermal analysis and transmission electron microscopy. The layer film of natural poly (vinyl alcohol) clays was used to modify the glassy carbon electrode of which electrochemical response was good in the presence of gallic acid in a phosphate buffer solution. The mechanism of electro-oxidation reaction was proposed, and the pH effect has been approached in order to confirm the reaction mechanism. The concentration linearly increased with the oxidation current peak, with a regression coefficient of 0.989 and a detection limit of 1.005 µM (S/N=3). The method thus proposed is satisfactory for the determination of gallic acid in a solution.
