Abstract
Abstract In this work, the carbon paste electrode was modified with a composite of a metal‐organic framework, nitrogen‐doped graphite, and gold nanoparticles and used as an electrochemical sensor for dihydroxybenzene isomers. The morphology and characteristics of the modifiers were found by SEM and FT‐IR. Electrochemical techniques showed the specific surface of the electrode to be significantly enhanced. The outcome achieved shows that this novel sensor displays an excellent electro‐catalytic activity towards the oxidation of these isomers. The sensor was applied to the simultaneous determination of each three isomers using DPV with a linear response in the concentration range of 5–10 5 nM.
