Composites of Nafion, COOH-capped CdSe, and self-doped polyaniline (SPAN) were used to prepare novel chemical modified glassy carbon electrodes (Nafion/CdSe/SPAN/GCE). The electrocatalytic activities of the modified GCE to the redox reactions of dopamine (DA), uric acid (UA), and ascorbic acid (AA) were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). CV curves revealed that the electrocatalytic activities of Nafion/CdSe/SPAN/GCE to oxidations of the analytes in solution of pH 7 were in the order of DA > UA > AA. This order was consistent with the strong-to-low extent of interactions between the modified GCE and the analytes. These interactions were consistent with the observations that the oxidation rate of DA followed a diffusion-controlled process whereas that of UA followed a surface adsorption-controlled process. The composites of casting at higher pH levels were found to exhibit better CdSe and SPAN dispersions in films and higher electrocatalytic activities. CdSe and SPAN exhibited insignificant synergistic effects on the oxidations of DA when cast from Nafion solutions of both low and high pHs whereas CdSe and SPAN exhibited much synergistic effects on the oxidations of UA when cast from the Nafion solution of high pH at 12.
