Transporting microdroplets using electric fields can be accomplished with several mechanisms, the primary methods being dielectrophoresis (DEP) for electrically insulating liquids, and electrowetting on dielectric for conducting fluids. In both cases, an electric field is applied near the leading edge of the droplet using patterned electrodes, giving rise to an electrostatic pressure that induc...

The electrochemical oxidation behavior of m-nitrophenol (m-NP) was studied comparatively on glassy carbon electrode, Pt electrode, PbO2 electrode, SnO2 electrode, and graphite electrode using cyclic voltammetry. The cyclic voltammetry measurements were performed in acidic (1 M H2SO4, pH 0.4), neutral (1 M Na2SO4, pH 6.8), and...

A novel chemically modified electrode containing Prussian blue complex was achieved on the surface of glass carbon electrode by sol-gel technique. The electrochemical behavior of modified electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry in detail. The film electrode obtained was very stable and exhibited electrocatalytic response for oxidation of nitrite. Results showed at bare GC electrode, a...

a simple and reliable electrochemical sensor based on cobalt oxide nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrode (gce/cooxnps) for determination of butylated hydroxyanisole is presented here. the nanoparticles were fabricated by electrodepositing method. the modified electrode shows excellent catalytic activity toward butylated hydroxyanisole oxidation in ph 12.0 phosphate buffer solution (pbs...

a fast and simple voltammetric method for the determination of methimazole in pharmaceutical products was reported. a glassy carbon electrode was pretreated by anodization at +1.75 v (vs. sce) for 5 min, followed by potential cycling in the range of 0.3-1.3 v (20 cycles). the pretreated electrode showed an excellent electrocatalytic effect on the oxidation of methimazole. compared with untreate...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were immobilized on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to form a MWCNTs-CTAB nanocomposite-modified electrode. The electrocatalytic response of the modified electrode towards tryptophan (Trp) was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The surface...

Several groups are developing visual prostheses to aid patients with vision loss. While these devices have shown some success in the clinic, they are severely limited by poor resolution, and in many cases have as few as 15 electrodes. Pixel density is poor because high stimulation thresholds require large electrodes to minimize charge density that would otherwise damage the electrode and tissue...

Electric field noise is a major source of motional heating in trapped ion quantum computation. While the influence of trap electrode geometries on electric field noise has been studied in patch potential and surface adsorbate models, only smooth surfaces are accounted for by current theory. The effects of roughness, a ubiquitous feature of surface electrodes, are poorly understood. We investiga...

a new cesium ion selective pvc membrane based on parent calix [4] arene was developed for potentiometric determination of cesium in environmental samples. the electrode based on p-5,11,17,23tetra(tertbutyl) 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxy calix[4]arene(thc) as ionophor ,dibutyl phthalate (dbp)as plasticizer ,sodium tetra phenyl borate(natpb)and oleic acid as lipophilic salt and additive showed the bes...
