Abstract

The potential for on site applications of a SiO2-Ag NPs-TiO2 self-cleaning electrode was demonstrated. Dopamine was used both as the analyte and the fouling agent. Three different UV lamps (a powerful lamp (45 mW cm-2) for photocatalysis, a TLC lamp and a commercial LED torch) were studied. After fouling, total recovery of the electroanalytical performances was achieved upon a short irradiation performed directly in the solution of interest.
