In-situ functionalization of carbon nanomaterials with coffee-extract derived chlorogenic acid: Electrocatalytic dopamine oxidation and molecular insight into coffee–dopamine crosstalk

Key Points

• Electrocatalytic dopamine oxidation is facilitated through functionalized carbon nanomaterials, enhancing interaction with chlorogenic acid.
• Chlorogenic acid derived from coffee extract effectively activates dopamine oxidation, involving a crosstalk mechanism between coffee and dopamine pathways.
• Analysis of carbon nanomaterials with chlorogenic acid provides insights into molecular interactions, supporting broader neurological applications.
• The findings suggest potential therapeutic implications in neurochemistry, highlighting the role of diet-derived compounds in neurotransmitter regulation.
