The electrochemical measurement of the permeation r·ate of hydrogen through metal foils consists of charging of the metal with hydrogen on one side of the foil and removal of hydrogen by electrochemical oxidation on the other side. The hydrogen diffusion coefficient can be determined by mathematical analysis of the time dependence of the oxidation current. This electrochemical technique can als...

physiological processes, much effort has been devoted to the development of methods for detecting glucose in food and biological matrices. However, the development of direct methods has been hindered by the lack of a suitable chromophore or electrophore, and hence more complicated methods have been adopted for glucose determination. Two of these methods, pulsed amperometric determination and en...

OBJECTIVE To establish an electrochemical immunosensor for the determination of serum trypsin levels using a multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-composite-modified electrode. METHOD A MWCNT composite coated on the surface of bare gold electrodes was used for fixation of an anti-trypsin antibody. The assembly process and the performance indicators, including sensitivity, linear range of detect...

We used an effective electrochemical sensor for the determination of imipramine at pH 7.2 using a carbon nanocomposite electrode. The electrode has been designed by incorporation of montmorillonite nanoclay into the carbon ionic liquid electrode. The high sensitivity of 1.714 μA (μM)-1, two linear calibration ranges of 0.1–2 μM and 2-40 μM, and detection limit of 19 nM were achieved. The relati...

A new Schiff base 2-aminothiophenol furfural self assembled monolayer (SAM) has been fabricated on a bare gold electrode as a novel sensor for determination of dopamine. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was utilized to investigate the properties of the Au 2-aminothiophenol furfural self assembled monolayer modified electrode (Au ATF SAM-ME) using the [Fe(CN)6] 3-/4redox couple. The electr...

A nanostructured film electrode, a multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT)-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE), is described for the simultaneous determination of guanine and adenine. The properties of the MWNT-modified GCE were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cyclic voltammetry. The oxidation peak currents of guanine and adenine increased significantly at the MWNT-modified...

We propose chlorpromazine (CHP) as a new mediator for the rapid, sensitive, and highly selective voltammetric determination of homocysteine (Hcy) using multiwall carbon nanotube paste electrode (MWCNTPE). The experimental results showed that the carbon nanotube paste electrode has a highly electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of Hcy in the presence of CHP as a mediator. Cyclic voltammetr...

A facile electrochemical sensor for the determination of nonylphenol (NP) was fabricated in this work. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), which formed a bilayer on the surface of the carbon paste (CP) electrode, displayed a remarkable enhancement effect for the electrochemical oxidation of NP. Moreover, the oxidation peak current of NP at the CTAB/CP electrode demonstrated a linear relation...

In this paper; an imidazolium ionic liquid (IL) is used to functionalize multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by covalent bonding on the MWNT surface. The functionalization not only provides a hydrophilic surface for ion accessibility but also prevents the aggregation of MWNTs. The IL-functionalized MWNTs were then applied for the electrochemical determination of the dihydroxybenzene isomers h...

The molecularly imprinted polymer based on polypyrrole film with incorporated graphene oxide was fabricated and used for electrochemical determination of quercetin. The electrochemical behavior of quercetin on the modified electrode was studied in detail using differential pulse voltammetry. The oxidation peak current of quercetin in B-R buffer solution (pH = 3.5) at the modified electrode was ...
