A new modified palm shell activated carbon paste electrode based on 1,13-Bis(8-quinolyl)-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane, 8,8-(1,4,7,10,13-Pentaoxatridecylene)-diquinoline (Kryptofix5) and plasticizing agent was prepared and studied as Hg selective electrode. The best performance was observed with the electrode composition having the ionophore-palm shell activated carbon-plasticizer composition 1...

Arrays of aligned multi-walled carbon nanotube-ionic liquid (MIL) were assembled on silicon wafers (Si-MIL). Formation of Si-MIL was confirmed by FTIR, AFM and Raman techniques. The electrochemical measurements indicated that Si-MIL showed good electrocatalysis towards oxygen reduction compared with MIL drop-cast on a glassy carbon electrode.

The aim of this study is to prepare and characterize two types of silver-functionalized carbon nanofiber (CNF) composite electrodes, i.e., silver-decorated CNF-epoxy and silver-modified natural zeolite-CNF-epoxy composite electrodes suitable for ibuprofen detection in aqueous solution. Ag carbon nanotube composite electrode exhibited the best electroanalytical parameters through applying precon...

INTRODUCTION The research made in this PhD thesis fits the current trend in the development of new advanced composite electrode materials with high performance and parameters. The composite materials has new physical and chemical properties that are not present in its components taken individually. The new electrode materials were obtained by combination of conducting polymers, such as polypyrr...

2-Amino-N-benzthioazolyl benzamide (ABTB) was synthesized, characterized and used for thefabrication of a potentiometric sensor for Cu2+ metal ions. The electrode exhibits linear response to Cu(II) over a wide concentration range (4.79×10 -8 – 1.85×10 -1 M) with Nernstian slope of 30 ± 1.5 mVper decade. The electrode can be used in the pH range from 2 to 9. It has a fast response time of about1...

Versatile Filter Transfer Method for Carbon-Nanotube Thin Films In article number 2100953, Manabu Ishizaki, Masato Kurihara, and co-workers develop a solution-processed press-free transfer method of carbon-nanotube (CNT) thin films onto arbitrary materials by using polytetrafluoroethylene membrane filters. Topically, CNT can be transferred solvent-sensitive perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) layer as top-...

In electrochemical glucose sensing, the enhancement of sensitivity and response time is essential in developing stable reliable sensors, especially for continuous monitoring. We developed a method to increase shorten sensing upon appropriate addition single wall carbon nanotube onto osmium polymer-based hydrogel electrode. Also, background stabilization dramatically enhanced. Keywords: Continuo...

The present work describes the development and application of a carbon paste electrode modified by treated-Pennisetum setosum for the determination of lead(II) by anodic stripping differential pulse voltammetry. Most experiments were performed using the preconcentration/voltammetry/regeneration scheme. The resulting modified electrode offers a preferential uptake of lead(II) from solutions. Ope...

The voltammetric detection of phosphoproteins was developed using a gallium(III) acetylacetonate-modified carbon paste electrode. Because phosphate groups of the protein interacted with the gallium(III) ion, the protein was accumulated on the electrode surface. A hexaammine ruthenium(III) ion, which combined with the functional groups, was used to monitor the interaction. When phosvitin and ...

A simple electrochemical sensor consisting of electrically heated carbon paste electrode with the surface modified by dsDNA is used to characterize voltammetric behaviour and antioxidative activity of four selected flavonoids. Quercetin, rutin, catechin and epigallocatechin gallate accumulate within the DNA layer. A positive effect of the electrode temperature within the range of 20 to 38 oC on...
