We describe the effect of electrode surface hydrophobicity on the electrochemical behavior and electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of Ru(bpy)3(2+) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridyl)/tripropylamine (TPrA) system. Gold and platinum electrodes were modified with different thiol monolayers. The hydrophobicity of the electrode surfaces changed with different terminal groups of the thiol molecules. The oxid...

We investigate the oscillatory electro-oxidation of formic acid on platinum in a microchip-based dual-electrode cell with microfluidic flow control. The main dynamical features of current oscillations on single Pt electrode that had been observed in macro-cells are reproduced in the microfabricated electrochemical cell. In dual-electrode configuration nearly in-phase synchronized current oscill...

Vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (VASWCNTs) have been successfully transferred onto transparent conducting oxide glass and implemented as efficient low-cost, platinum-free counter electrode in sulfide -mediated dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs), featuring notably improved electrocatalytic activity toward thiolate/disulfide redox shuttle over conventional Pt counter electrodes. ...

A simple procedure for the voltammetric detection of antioxidative activity of plant extracts based on the protection from DNA damage at the electrode surface is reported. A disposable electrochemical DNA biosensor fabricated as a carbon-based screen-printed electrode modified by a surface layer of the calf thymus double stranded (ds) DNA was used as a working electrode in combination with a si...

Coated wire lithium ion selective electrode was fabricated using lithium ionophore-VI, 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether (NPOE) and potassium tetrakis(p-chlorophenyl)borate (KTpClPB) on platinum wire. Lithium ion selective electrode was giving Nernstian response from 10 -1 M to 10 -4 M with a detection limit of 3x10 -5 M. The calibration slope of this lithium ion selective electrode was found to be 58....
