In this study, incorporation of iron ion-doped natrolite nanozeolite, multi-wall carbon nanotubes into chitosan-coated glassy carbon electrode for the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid, epinephrine, uric acid and tyrosine is studied. The results show that the combination of multi-wall carbon nanotubes and iron ion-doped natrolite zeolite causes a dramatic enhancement in the sensitivit...

Voltammetric techniques have been considered as important methods among the analytical techniques used for the identification and determination of trace concentrations of many biological molecules such as L-ascorbic acid (AA). L-ascorbic acid is an electro-active molecule, though it is difficult to determine its value directly with a majority of electrodes made of carbon and transition metals, ...

An anatase film electrode on FTO glass has been produced by a mix of commercial nanostructured with water in dispersion using rod followed calcination at 400 °C for one hour the ramp 20 per minute. The structural morphology resulting surface analysed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and its photoelectrochemical behaviour dark, laboratory environment under UVA light examined different electroc...

Rapid, sensitive and specific methods were developed for the determination of diclofenac in pharmaceutical preparations by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and gas chromatography (GC) with mass spectrometry (MS) detection. The linearity was established over the concentration range of 5-35 μg/mL for LSV and 0.25-5 μg/mL for GC-MS method. The intra- and inter-day relative standard deviation (RSD) w...

Silver nanowires (NWs) are increasingly utilized in technological materials and consumer products, but an effective analytical technique is not yet available to measure their concentration in the environment. Here, we present an electrochemical method to quantify Ag NWs suspended in aqueous solution. Using linear sweep voltammetry, the Ag NWs are identified by the peak potential while their con...

Carbon-supported Pt–Ru alloys with a Pt/Ru ratio of 1:1 were prepared by NaBH4 reduction at room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements indicate that the as-prepared Pt–Ru nanoparticles had a face-centered cubic (fcc) structure. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses demonstrate that alloying with Ru can decrease the 4f electron density of Pt, which results in a positive bin...

An electrochemical study using transient techniques of a quinone-type natural product, horminone, has been performed in acetonitrile in the presence of two buffer solutions of pH = 17.2 and pH = 15.5. Using linear sweep voltammetry, it was found that at both pH values the reduction mechanism of horminone involves a monoelectronic charge-transfer step, followed by a protonation step and homogene...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and other bioelectrochemical systems are new technologies that require expertise in a variety of technical areas, ranging from electrochemistry to biological wastewater treatment. There are certain data and critical information that should be included in every MFC study, such as specific surface area of the electrodes, solution conductivity, and power densities norma...

Spontaneous deposition of Pt on a Ru(0001) single crystal surface has been demonstrated by in situ scanning tunneling microscopy and linear sweep voltammetry techniques. The immersion of a ultra-high vacuum (UHV) prepared Ru single crystal in a platinum-ion-containing solution results in the formation of monolayer-to-multilayer Pt deposits without application of an external potential. The cover...
