The construction and electrochemical response characteristics of a poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane selective electrode for the determination of tiapride (TPD) are described. The sensing membrane comprised an ion-pair formed between the protonated drug and tetraphenylborate (TPB) in a plasticized PVC matrix. The influence of membrane composition on the electrode response was studied. The ele...

Using two nano-porous pseudo carbon paste electrodes (Nano-PPCPEs) as the working electrodes, a saturated calomel electrode as the reference electrode, and a Pt electrode as the counter electrode to form a four-electrode system, a novel type of glutamate-acetylcholine electrochemical biosensor array was successfully fabricated. It was shown that the biosensor array displayed a high selectivity ...

We report a high-density electrode array fabricated using complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) techniques that contains 8,192 individually addressable platinum working electrodes in a 2 mm × 2 mm area along with an on-chip potentiostat. Microfluidic devices were mounted on top of the electrode array to control fluid delivery to evaluate the spatial and temporal resolution achievable w...

A portable electrochemical sensor has been developed for determination of tricresyl phosphate (TCP) in gas phase. An alkaline catalyst column was used in an automatic TCP sampling system where gasified TCP was hydrolysed to cresol, making it electrochemically detectable. Hydrolysates were then detected in the flow injection analysis (FIA). Amperometric measurements were performed utilizing the ...

A new type of solid state solar cell is produced by using Fe2O3 (working electrode) and SiC as a hole collector (counter electrode). Two molten salts, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (EMICl) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide (BMII) were used as crystal growth inhibitors with a SiC film. It was found that BMI1 shows about 10 times higher efficiency compared to an EMICl-based SiC film s...

This study presents biotreatment of textile wastewaters using electrocoagulation and ozone processes. Ozonation process gave better results than electrocoagulation process. For electrocoagulation, optimum working conditions were found as follows: pH, 6.5; electrode type, iron electrode; current density, 20 mA/cm2; and reaction time, 15 min. Under these circumstances, values determined for elect...

A three electrodes planar electrochemical sensor, based on CuO nanowires growth “in situ” on Cu working electrode, was fabricated by a simple micromachining technique and employed for the non-enzymatic determination of glucose. The microstructural and morphological characteristics of the modified electrode was investigated by XRD and SEM analysis. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometric measu...

A straightforward flow injection method for the tensammetric determination of surfactants is described. The flow-through cell is equipped with a mercury-coated gold electrode as the working electrode. Ionic as well as nonionic surfactants can be determined in the concentration range 10~5-104 M. The calibration graph is not linear but with an approximation by a polynomial or a cubic spline funct...

An electrochemical flow cell with a boron-doped diamond dual-plate microtrench electrode has been developed and demonstrated for hydroquinone flow injection electroanalysis in phosphate buffer pH 7. Using the electrochemical generator-collector feedback detector improves the sensitivity by one order of magnitude (when compared to a single working electrode detector). The diffusion process is sw...
