The functionalized electrode has a distinguishable and sensitive response to dihydroxybenzene isomers. Under the optimized conditions, the linear stripping peak currents showed good linear relationships with hydroquinone, catechol and resorcinol at concentration ranges 0.50-120, 0.50-110 and 1.00-110 μmol/L, and the detection limits are 0.1, 0.1 and 0.3 μmol/L, respectively. The proposed method is applicable to the simultaneous determination of dihydroxybenzene isomers in real samples with the relative standard deviations of less than 5.7% and the recovery rates of 95.6%-106%. The constructed electrode is characterized by simple preparation, good selectivity, and high sensitivity advantages.展开更多
