Electrochemical Atrazine Detection Using Au(111) Electrode Modified with Self-assembled Monolayer of Mercaptoquinone
Self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of mercaptohydroquinone (MHQ) were constructed on a Au(111) surface. Redox charge due to hydroquinone/benzoquinone reaction of the MHQ SAM modified Au(111) electrodes was dependent on the concentration of atrazine contained in an electrolyte solution, indicating that the MHQ SAM modified Au(111) electrode functioned as an atrazine sensor.
