Crystalline Au dendrites were formed by electrodeposition on a glassy carbon electrode from a solution of HAuCl(4) containing cysteine. The Au dendrites possessed a hierarchical architecture with three-fold symmetry; they comprised trunks, branches, and nanorod leaves, which all grew along the <111> direction.

This communication demonstrates that the SiC coated glassy carbon electrode resolved the overlapping voltammetric responses of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA), which could be used for selective determination of DA in the presence of AA and UA.

A multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant composite modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was developed as a novel system for the determination of 4-aminoantipyrine(AAP). The oxidation process was irreversible over the pH range studied and exhibited a diffusion controlled behavior. All experimental parameters were optimized. The combination of MWCN...

A sensitive and selective amperometric procedure, based on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with a thin multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) film, for the determination of ascorbic acid (AA) was developed. The modified electrode showed excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of AA. The oxidation potential of AA shifted negatively by as much as 460 mV to –18 mV (vs. SCE) a...

Anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) with rotating glassy carbon electrode (RGCE) and microfiber carbon electrode (μFCE), both filmed with mercury, were used to determine copper content in wine. Influence of phenolics on in situ mercury film formation was studied. Wine and quercetin were added gradually into solution of Hg(II) in acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer (pH = 4.60). Reduction of Hg(II) ...

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 ...

Copper nanoparticles were fabricated by electro-reduction of CuSO4solution in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) cationic surfactant as an additive through potentiostatic method. The prepared copper nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical methods. The SEM images reveal that the nanoparticles with diameters at about 70 n...

The use of SU-8 as precursor for glass-like carbon, or glassy carbon, is presented here. SU-8 carbonizes when subject to high temperature under inert atmosphere. Although epoxy-based precursors can be patterned in a variety of ways, photolithography is chosen due to its resolution and reproducibility. Here, a number of improvements to traditional photolithography are introduced to increase the ...

The electrochemical oxidation mechanism of guanine and adenine was investigated using a glassy carbon microelectrode and cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry. It is pH-dependent and the electron transfer process occurs in consecutive steps with the formation of strongly adsorbed dimers on the electrode surface for both compounds.

An attractive electrochemical sensor of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/reduced graphene oxide electrode (PrGO) was developed for an electrochemical technique for uric acid (UA) detection in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA). PrGO composite film showed an improved electrocatalytic activity towards UA oxidation in pH 6.0 (0.1 M PBS). The PrGO composite exhibited a high current signal and low c...
