β¦ Synopsis
A tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was used for anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) of heavy metals. It showed an increase in sensitivity for the detection of copper compared to an uncoated electrode. The influence of TPP layer thickness, pH and accumulation time on the copper detection and the interference with other cations was investigated. The detection limit of copper following a short accumulation time of 30 s was 12 ppb. Using longer accumulation times, the detection limit can be reduced to lower concentrations of the metal.
