RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Carbon paste electrodes made from different carbonaceous materials: application in the study of antioxidants A1 Rodríguez Méndez, María Luz A1 Apetrei, Constantin A1 Saja Sáez, José Antonio de A1 Apetrei, Irina Mirela K1 Carbon paste electrode K1 Electrodos de pasta de carbono K1 Carbonaceous materials K1 Materiales carbonáceos K1 Carbon nanotubes K1 Nanotubos de carbono K1 Cyclic voltammetry K1 Voltametría cíclica AB This work describes the sensing properties of carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) prepared from three different types of carbonaceous materials: graphite, carbon microspheres and carbon nanotubes. The electrochemical responses towards antioxidants including vanillic acid, catechol, gallic acid, L-ascorbic acid and L-glutathione have been analyzed and compared. It has been demonstrated that the electrodes based on carbon microspheres show the best performances in terms of kinetics and stability, whereas G-CPEs presented the smallest detection limit for all the antioxidants analyzed. An array of electrodes has been constructed using the three types of electrodes. As demonstrated by means of Principal Component Analysis, the system is able to discriminate among antioxidants as a function of their chemical structure and reactivity.
