A Mn(II) complex, MnL (L=sodium (E)-3-((1-carboxyethylimino)methyl)-4-hydroxybenzenesulfonate), was synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to investigate the interaction between MnL and salmon sperm DNA. It was revealed that MnL presented high electrochemical activity on glassy carbon electrode ...

Three-dimensional nanoarchitectures of Co3O4@multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Co3O4@MWNTs) were synthesized via a one-step process with hydrothermal growth of Co3O4 nanoparticles onto MWNTs. The structure and morphology of the Co3O4@MWNTs were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron...

A polypyrrole-multiwalled carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode-based sensor was devised for determination of ferulic acid (FA). The fabricated sensor was prepared electrochemically using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and characterized using CV and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The electrode shows an excellent electrochemical catalytic activity towards FA oxidation. Under optimal co...

The MWCNTs-COOH Paste Electrode (MCPE) was successfully used to study the electrochemical behavior of temozolomide in 0.2 M H2SO4 solution, phosphate buffer solution (0.1M PBS, pH 7.4) and 0.1M NaOH solution by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) technique. The results exhibit that MCPE can remarkably enhance sensing and electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation and reductio...

In this study, we report the high-yield synthesis of 2-dimensional cupric oxide (CuO) nanodiscs through dehydrogenation of 1-dimensional Cu(OH)2 nanowires at 60°C. Most of the nanodiscs had a diameter of approximately 500 nm and a thickness of approximately 50 nm. After further prolonged reaction times, secondary irregular nanodiscs gradually grew vertically into regular nanodiscs. These CuO na...

A nanostructured film electrode, a multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT)-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE), is described for the simultaneous determination of guanine and adenine. The properties of the MWNT-modified GCE were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cyclic voltammetry. The oxidation peak currents of guanine and adenine increased significantly at the MWNT-modified...

The electrochemistry of horse heart cytochrome c was studied by cyclic voltammetry at a glassy carbon electrode modified with single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). A pair of well-defined redox waves was obtained in cytochrome c aqueous solution at an activated SWNT film-modified electrode. The optimal conditions for activating the SWNT film-modified electrode has been determined. The electrode ...

An actuating system composed of nafion ionomeric polymer coated with single-walled carbon nanotubes electrodes was studied as an electromechanical actuator. The actuator gives a sizable mechanical response to low voltages (turn-on voltage of approximately 2.5 V) under open-air conditions, i.e., in the absence of a surrounding supporting electrolyte. The actuator is active under both dc and ac b...
