Abstract


Graphene oxide (GO) coatings were synthesized by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method on platinum (Pt) electrode. Pt coated with GO (Pt-GO) electrode was employed in electrochemical adsorption of methylene blue using cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique. Dye adsorption resulted in redox couple on both pristine Pt and Pt-GO electrode, however, anodic and cathodic currents were found higher for the latter than the former, suggesting GO coating catalyses/accelerates electrochemical adsorption of dye. The adsorbed dye on Pt-GO electrode was released in 0.5M H2SO4 using CV suggesting that Pt-GO electrode can be successfully regenerated.
