AbstractThis work presents a simple green approach for the chemical synthesis of cobalt oxide nano hexagons (Co3O4 NHs) with an average size of 160±40 nm incorporated graphene nanosheets (GR). The techniques used to confirm the formation of GR−Co3O4 NHs are transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X‐ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). The dopamine (DA) sensor was fabricated by drop casting GR−Co3O4 NHs on the pre‐cleaned glassy carbon electrode (GCE). GR−Co3O4 modified GCE displayed a sensitive and selective electrochemical determination of DA compared to only GR and Co3O4 NHs modified GCE. Our fabricated sensor showed a wide linear range from 0.2 to 3443 μM with low limit of detection (84 nM) towards the determination of DA. The sensitivity of our fabricated sensor was calculated to be 108 μA mM−1 cm−2. As well, a significant storage stability, repeatability and reproducibility were attained by GR−Co3O4 NHs modified GCE. Human urine samples were targeted for the demonstration of practicality of our sensor.
