The development of ion-selective microelectrodes for monitoring lithium ions in blood or serum is very important in the field of clinical chemistry. For this interest, all-solid-state microsensors based on impedance measurement for the detection of Li+ has been developed. The selective PVC membrane composition used was obtained by dissolving 1.2 % (w/w) Lithium ionophore III, 66 % (w/w) o-nitro...

The focus of much recent research activity and interest, including our own, have been the synthesis, structure, and properties of conductive polymer/transition metal oxide nanocomposites. These hybrid materials comprise conductive organic polymers, such as poly(aniline) (PANI), interleaved between the layers of an inorganic oxide lattice, and are intriguing candidates for advanced material appl...

The ionization potentials (IPs) and electron affinities (EAs) of widely used conjugated polymers are evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) in conventional electrochemical and lithium-ion battery media, and also by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) in vacuo. By comparing the data obtained in the different systems, it is found that the IPs of the conjugated polymer films determined by c...

background: lithium has been the treatment of choice for bipolar disorder (bd) for many years. although erectile dysfunction is a known adverse effect of this drug, the mechanism of action by which lithium affects erectile function is still unknown. objective: the aim was to investigate the possible involvement of nitric oxide (no) in modulatory effect of lithium on penile erection (pe). we fur...
