Abstrakt: Two paste electrodes based on graphene quantum dots and carbon nanotubes (GRQD/CNT) and one modified with a homoleptic liquid crystalline Cu(I) based coordination complex (Cu/GRQD/CNT) were obtained and morphostructurally and electrochemically characterized in comparison with simple CNT electrode (CNT) for doxorubicine (DOX) detection in aqueous solutions. GRQD/CNT showed the best electroanalytical performance by differential pulse voltammetry technique (DPV). Moreover, applying a preconcentration step prior to detection stage, the lowest limit of detection (1 ng/L) and the highest sensitivity (216,105 µA/mg·L -1 ) in comparison with reported literature data were obtained. Cu/GRQD/CNT showed good results using multiple pulse amperometry technique (MPA) and a favorable shifting of the potential detection to mitigate potential interferences. Both GRQD-based paste electrodes have a great potential for practical utility in DOX determination in water at trace concentration levels, using GRQD/CNT with DPV and in pharmaceuticals formulations using Cu/GRQD/CNT with MPA.
