The electrochemical performance of single wall carbon nanotube ~SWNT!/Nafion composite electrodes were studied in sulfuric acid solutions. Electrochemical oxidation of the highly dispersed SWNTs within the Nafion matrix results in a dramatic morphological change in the SWNTs. As evidenced by transmission electron microscopy, small bundles of straight-line SWNTs change into curved bundles with r...

In this study ternary Ni-P-CeO2 catalysts were first synthesized by the Co-electrodeposition method on a copper substrate and then characterized by means of microstructural and electrochemical techniques toward a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Also, for comparison other catalysts such as Ni-CeO2, Ni-P, and Ni were prepared and characterized by the same methods. The microstructure of the inv...

In recent years, electrochemical supercapacitors have received considerable attention from many researchers. Metal oxides such as chromium oxide with high redox activity, high specific capacity, and excellent reversibility are suitable alternatives to ruthenium oxide in supercapacitor applications. In this study, first, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by the modified Hummers method. The syn...

Neurotransmitters, acting as chemical messengers, play an important role in neurotransmission, which governs many functional aspects of nervous system activity. Electrochemical probes have proven a very useful technique to study neurotransmission, especially to quantify and qualify neurotransmitters. With the emerging interests in probing neurotransmission at the level of single cells, single v...

Modern biosensors play a critical role in healthcare and have a quickly growing commercial market. Compared to traditional optical-based sensing, electrochemical biosensors are attractive due to superior performance in response time, cost, complexity and potential for miniaturization. To address the shortcomings of traditional benchtop electrochemical instruments, in recent years, many compleme...

in this paper, the effect of cationic and anionic ion sizes on the charge storage capability of graphene nanosheets is investigated. the electrochemical properties of the produced electrode are studied using cyclic voltammetry (cv) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) techniques in 3m nacl, naoh, and koh electrolytes. scanning electron microscopy (sem) is used to characterize the mi...

Recent trends and challenges in the electrochemical methods for the detection of DNA hybridization are reviewed. Electrochemistry has superior properties over the other existing measurement systems, because electrochemical biosensors can provide rapid, simple and low-cost on-field detection. Electrochemical measurement protocols are also suitable for mass fabrication of miniaturized devices. El...

in this paper, the electrochemical behaviour of passive films formed on aisi 321 stainless steel (aisi 321)immersed in 0.1 m naoh + 0.1 m koh solution was evaluated by different electrochemical techniques. forthis purpose, passive films were formed at open circuit potential for 1 to 12 hours and then electrochemicalmeasurements were done. the polarization curves suggested that aisi 321 showed e...
