Delocalized electrons are free to move throughout a graphite sheet. Based on the interruption of this flux, a new strategy has been developed to establish a highly sensitive impedimetric sensing device for K(+) ions. Here, we report on the successful application of a simple graphite paste incorporated into dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6), which effectively impedes the electron flux on the graphite ...

in this study, incorporation of iron ion-doped natrolite nanozeolite, multi-wall carbon nanotubes into chitosan-coated glassy carbon electrode for the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid, epinephrine, uric acid and tyrosine is studied. the results show that the combination of multi-wall carbon nanotubes and iron ion-doped natrolite zeolite causes a dramatic enhancement in the sensitivit...

A manganese oxide-coated cylindrical graphite cathode with a zinc anode was developed to treat wastewater containing selenite in dual-chambered microbial fuel cell. COD and removal the anodic chamber by Bacillus cereus energy generation were evaluated batch mode. dioxide-coated tested for its surface morphology chemical composition using scanning electron microscopy dispersive analysis of X-ray...

carbon paste electrode was modified by disodium 2,4-diamino-7-methylbenzo[g] pteridine-5,10-dioxide to fabricate a sensor for potentiometric determination of vanadyl ion (vo2+) in aqueous medium. the new ligand was synthesized in three steps with high yield. the optimal composition of the carbon paste was made of graphite powder (64.5%), ionophore (16.6%), paraffin oil (17.8%), and sodium tetra...

Vermicular graphite cast iron, which is widely used in the automotive industry because of outstanding strenght properties. But, there are many problem with regard to machinability of this material. In this study, optimum cutting parameters were studied in order to improve machinability of vermicular graphite cast iron. Experiment parameters which is appropriate for ISO 3685 was selected. Depend...

A graphene-based long-period fiber grating (LPFG) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor is proposed. A monolayer of graphene is coated onto the Ag film surface of the LPFG SPR sensor, which increases the intensity of the evanescent field on the surface of the fiber and thereby enhances the interaction between the SPR wave and molecules. Such features significantly improve the sensitivity of th...

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is among the most common polymer materials in world thanks to its versatility a wide range of applications. Of importance this work use electrochemical cells. PAN has seen as separator material and binder lithium-ion Expanding upon innovations made recent decades for electrodepositing onto conductive surfaces, details methods used apply thin coating graphite composite el...

We have studied myoglobin (Mb) on graphite basal plane and on self-assembled didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) monoand multilayers with in situ tapping-mode AFM, cyclic voltammetry, and differential capacitance measurements. On graphite, Mb molecules adsorb and aggregate into chainlike features. The aggregation indicates an attractive interaction between the adsorbed molecules. In contra...

AMoO3–carbon nanocomposite was synthesized from amixture ofMoO3 and graphite by a controlled ball milling procedure. The as-prepared product consists of nanosized MoO3 particles (2–180 nm) homogeneously distributed in carbon matrix. The nanocomposite acts as a high capacity anode material for lithium-ion batteries and exhibits good cyclic behavior. Its initial capacity exceeds the theoretical c...

An acoustic wave sensor coated with an artificial biomimetic recognition element has been developed to selectively screen for nandrolone in the liquid phase. A highly specific covalently imprinted polymer (MIP) was spin coated onto one electrode of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) as a thin permeable film. Selective rebinding of the nandrolone was observed as a frequency shift in the QCM for...
