Development of an advanced electroanalytical methodology for quantification of the hormones 17²-estradiol and 17±-etinilestradiol in supply water samples using electrodes modified with graphene, gold nanoparticles and quantum dots

Abstract

This project aims to develop an advanced electroanalytical methodology for quantifying hormones (17²-estradiol and 17±-ethinylestradiol) in supply water samples. For this, an electrochemical sensor of glassy carbon will be modified by coating the surface with oxidized graphene (GO) nanocomposites with gold nanoparticles (npAu) and CdTe/CdS (QDs - quantum dots). This modified electrode (GO/Np-Au/QDs) will be characterized by techniques such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission microscopy, spectroscopic diffraction of X-rays and X-ray energy dispersive (EDX), as well as by electrochemical techniques (cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy - IEE). After characterizing the surface, the developed electrode will be applied to the study of the electrochemical behavior of hormones in different support electrolytes, different concentrations, different electrochemical parameters and pHs. The sensor developed and optimized here will enable increased sensitivity and consequently the determination of hormones 17²-estradiol and 17±-ethinylestradiol at low detection limits. With this, it will be used in drinking water samples collected in the São Carlos Water Treatment Plant, before and after the water purification procedure. The detection of such contaminants will occur via direct electrochemical oxidation/reduction at the GO/Np-Au/QDs sensor surface for both 17²-estradiol and 17±-ethinyl estradiol. The results of this project will be an electroanalytic device with characteristics as accuracy, sensitivity, potential for miniaturization and possibility of "in situ " and in real time applications (AU)
