Plasmon-assisted electrochemistry offers a new approach to deploy light energy for activating or powering electroconversions of utility the manufacturing chemicals and fuels. Plasmonic excitation boosts modulates electrochemical processes on plasmonic nanostructures. Nonthermal carriers produced by promote enhanced reaction kinetics even modes electrocatalytic activity not typically accessible ...

The base pair stack of DNA has been demonstrated as a medium for long-range charge transport chemistry both in solution and at DNA-modified surfaces. This chemistry is exquisitely sensitive to structural perturbations in the base pair stack as occur with lesions, single base mismatches, and protein binding. We have exploited this sensitivity for the development of reliable electrochemical assay...

The application of ultrasound to a solution in contact with a semiconductor working electrode leads to a change in its open circuit potential, that is, to the appearance of a sonopotential sensitive to both ultrasonic power and solution composition.

Metal clusters are very important as building blocks for nanoparticles (NPs) for electrocatalysis and electroanalysis in both fundamental and applied electrochemistry. Attention has been given to understanding of traditional nucleation and growth of metal clusters and to their catalytic activities for various electrochemical applications in energy harvesting as well as analytical sensing. Impor...

Using a lab-on-a-chip device, an analytical method was developed and validated for the quantitative determination of serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that has a number of roles in biological processes. It is essential to be able to detect and quantify serotonin in different biological fluids because it can be used to evaluate and diagnose several disorders and diseases including depre...

Since the pioneering work of Kolbe, electrochemistry and electrosynthetic methods have been a part of the repertoire of the organic synthesis toolbox [1,2]. In general, only electrons are employed as reagents or the reagents are electrochemically regenerated. Consequently, waste can be avoided, and limited resources can be used in a careful and economic manner. Because alternative reaction path...
