Abstract

In this study, undoped ZnO and doped with Fe and Mn nanostructures were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The morphology of nanostructures was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope. The electrochemical response of the carbon paste electrode modified with nanoparticles of ZnO and also ZnO doped with Fe and Mn toward levodopa (L-Dopa) was studied. Studies of cyclic voltammetry using provided modified electrode showed electro catalytic properties for electro-oxidation of L-Dopa and a significant reduction in anodic over voltage compared to bare electrode was observed. Best response was obtained in terms of the current enhancement, overvoltage reduction, and reversibility improvement of the L-Dopa oxidation reaction under experimental conditions by modified electrode with zinc oxide nanoparticles doped with iron.
