Abstract Graphene oxide (GO) was covalently attached to glassy carbon (GC) electrode (GC–O–GO) for fabricating nanosensors to determine trace Pb2+ and Cd2+ using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). Surface characterization of the nanofilm-covered electrode was performed via electrochemical cyclic voltammetry (CV), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. Surface pKa of the GO covalent attached GC (GC– O–GO) was calculated via CV. Under optimal conditions, a linear response was found for Pb2+ and Cd2+ in the range from 1×10−8 to 1×10−12 M. The limit of detections (LODs) of Pb2+ and Cd2+ were 0.25 pM and 0.28 pM, respectively. The method shows good reproducibility, and stability was successfully applied to measure Pb2+ and Cd2+ levels in rice, soya, milk,

and tap water samples, with good agreement with those obtained by the standard inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) method. The method was evaluated by application with the simultaneous determination of the ions in food samples (n=6) using the standard addition method. The recoveries of the Pb2+ and Cd2+ were up to 98 %.

Introduction Heavy metal concentration in food samples is very important for human health (Afkhami et al. 2011; Cayir and Coskun 2010; Ieggli et al. 2010). This is the cause of various health problems, such as cardiovascular diseases, kidney failure, cancer, etc. (Kadıoğlu et al. 2010). It is important to accurately determine levels by using various analytical techniques. Techniques such as spectroscopic and electrochemical methods are used for metal analysis (Szymczycha-Madeja and Welna 2013; Üstündağ et al. 2007; Tormen et al. 2011). Electrochemical techniques on modified electrodes are especially ve
