Abstract: The unique properties of TiO2-sulfur (TiO2-S) modified graphene nanocomposite electrode (GPE/TiO2-S) in the electrochemical sensing of formaldehyde compound has been evaluated. We prepared TiO2-S by hydrothermal method and modified the graphene nanocomposite electrode by applying electrochemical cyclic voltammetry (CV) approach. The TiO2-S nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), while the GPE/TiO2-S was examined by scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-Ray fluorosense (XRF) techniques. TiO2-S has a grain size of 19.32 nm. The surface morphology of the GPE/TiO2-S nanocomposite shows a good, intact, and tightly porous structure with TiO2-S covers the graphene surface. The content of optimized GPE/TiO2-S electrodes is 41.5% of graphene, 37.8% of TiO2, and 12.4% of sulfur that was prepared by mixing 1 g of TiO2-S with 0.5 g of graphene and 0.3 mL paraffin. The GPE/TiO2-S electrode produces a high anodic current (Ipa) of 800 μA and a high cathodic current (Ipc) of -600 μA at a scan rate of 0.1 V·s-1 using an electrolyte 0.01 mol·L-1 K3[Fe(CN)6] solution containing 150 mg·L-1 formaldehyde. The limit of detection can reach as low as 9.7 mg·L-1 with stability with Horwitz ratio value as low as 0.397. The composite electrode also exhibits excellent slectivity properties by showing clear formaldehyde sugnal in the presence of high concentration of interfering agent. GPE/TiO2-S electrode should find potential application of formaldehyde detection in food industries.
