The composite is made of nanosheets of electrochemically exfoliated graphene oxide (EGO) covalently functionalized with dopamine (DP) molecules. The EGODP material finally obtained is rich of 1,2-dihydroxyphenyl moieties and is able to detect NADH at a particular low potential value with higher sensitivity with respect to pristine EGO. To study the effectiveness of 1,2-dihydroxyphenyl moieties in inducing electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH, we combined standard voltammetric techniques with UV–Vis absorption spectroelectrochemistry, which allowed us to measure the variations in composition occurring at the electrode|solution interface, i.e. to measure the consumption rate of NADH. Spectroelectrochemical tests performed by polarising the electrode at a fixed potential value were finally used to compare the performance of EGODP with both EGO and EGO-DP blend (MIX) for the detection of NADH. The covalently functionalized EGO (EGODP) shows sensitivity to NADH up to 300 M−1, around 180 % and 140 % better than either pristine EGO or MIX, respectively. 2053-1583 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/6119 10.1088/2053-1583/ab734f 2053-1583 graphene oxide spectroelectrochemistry chemical functionalization 1,2-dihydroxyphenyl moieties NADH Dopamine-functionalized graphene oxide as a high-performance material for biosensing
