Preparation of chitosan/N-doped graphene natively grown on hierarchical porous carbon nanocomposite as a sensor platform for determination of tartrazine

In this work,the chitosan and N-doped graphene natively grown on hierarchical porous carbon（N-PC-G/CS） nanocomposite was obtained by ultrasonic method,as a novel sensor platform for determination of tartrazine（TT）.The nanocomposite as prepared had well dispersivity in water and excellent conductivity.The N-PC-G/CS nanocomposite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy（SEM）,transmission electron microscopy（TEM）,nitrogen adsorption-desorption,fourier transform infrared（FTIR） and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）.The application of N-PC-G/CS for determination of tartrazine（TT） was investigated by chronocoulometry（CC）,cyclic voltammetry（CV） and differential pulse voltammetry（DPV）.Under optimized conditions,the sensor displayed a sensitive response to TT within a wide concentration range of 0.05-15.0 μmol/L,the detection limits is 0.036 μmol/L（S/N = 3）.Furthermore,this nanocomposite could be efficiently applied for determination of TT in soft drink samples.
