In addition use of illegal drugs namely heroin, cocaine and nicotine blocks the dopamine uptake and increase the risks of depression and drug addiction. Dopamines being electrochemically active species, several electrochemical techniques are employed to detect even low levels of dopamine. The major problem dealt with this electrochemical detection is that the presence of the interfering compoun...

Nucleic acid amplification is a gold standard technique for analyzing a tiny amount of nucleotides in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, food safety, and environmental testing. Electrical and electrochemical monitoring of the amplification process draws attention over conventional optical methods because of the amenability toward point-of-care applications as there is a growing demand for...

Abstract Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy provides information on the steady state of an electrochemical redox reaction and its kinetics. For instance, is a very useful technique to investigate kinetics in batteries, such as diffusion processes or charge-transfer dynamics during battery operation. Here, we summarize procedures for conducting reliable measurements system, including cell co...

Biofouling is one of the major issues in the power industry using seawater for cooling and other purposes. Presence of biological organisms such as bacteria and algae that could foul pipes and expensive equipments need to be managed from economical and safety point of view. Generally, the biofouling problem is aggravated in hot climate regions. Various means of disinfection processes are availa...

Electrochemical oxidation of resorcinol in aqueous medium using boron-doped diamond anode (BDD) was investigated in a batch electrochemical reactor in the presence of Na2SO4 supporting electrolyte. The effect of process parameters such as resorcinol concentration (100-500 g/L), current density (2-10 mA/cm2), Na2SO4 concentration (0-20 g/L), and reaction temperature (25-45°C) was analyzed on ele...

The synthesis of a new series of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and pi-extended TTF (exTTF) disulfides and the electrochemical properties of self-assembled monolayers derived from these compounds are described. When the intermediate bromides 3 and 7 were reacted with thiourea, followed by basic hydrolysis, the expected thiol formation was not observed and only disulfides were obtained. A mechanism is...
