    Abstract:
    Control and detection of sunset yellow is an utmost demanding issue, due to the presence of potential risks for human health if excessively consumed or added. Herein, cuprous oxide-electrochemically reduced graphene nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (Cu₂O-ErGO/GCE) was developed for the determination of sunset yellow. The Cu₂O-ErGO/GCE was fabricated by drop-casting Cu₂O-GO dispersion on the GCE surface following a potentiostatic reduction of graphene oxide (GO). Scanning electron microscope and X-ray powder diffractometer was used to characterize the morphology and microstructure of the modification materials, such as Cu₂O nanoparticles and Cu₂O-ErGO nanocomposites. The electrochemical behavior of sunset yellow on the bare GCE, ErGO/GCE, and Cu₂O-ErGO/GCE were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and second-derivative linear sweep voltammetry, respectively. The analytical parameters (including pH value, sweep rate, and accumulation parameters) were explored systematically. The results show that the anodic peak currents of Cu₂O-ErGO /GCE are 25-fold higher than that of the bare GCE, due to the synergistic enhancement effect between Cu₂O nanoparticles and ErGO sheets. Under the optimum detection conditions, the anodic peak currents are well linear to the concentrations of sunset yellow, ranging from 2.0 × 10-8 mol/L to 2.0 × 10-5 mol/L and from 2.0 × 10-5 mol/L to 1.0 × 10-4 mol/L with a low limit of detection (S/N = 3, 6.0 × 10-9 mol/L). Moreover, Cu₂O-ErGO/GCE was successfully used for the determination of sunset yellow in beverages and food with good recovery. This proposed Cu₂O-ErGO/GCE has an attractive prospect applications on the determination of sunset yellow in diverse real samples.
