The mediation of oxidases glucose oxidase (GOx), lactate oxidase (LOx) and cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) by a new electron shuttling mediator, unsubstituted phenothiazine (PTZ), was studied. Cyclic voltammetry and rotating-disk electrode measurements in nonaqueous media were used to determine the diffusion characteristics of the mediator and the kinetics of its reaction with GOx, giving a second-o...

in this paper, using a one-dimensional simulation model, the reforming process of sour gas, i.e. ch4, co2, and h2s, to the various charged particles and syngas in a dielectric barrier discharge (dbd) reactor is studied. an electric field is applied across the reactor radius, and thus a non-thermal plasma discharge is formed within the reactor. based on the space-time coupled finite element meth...

the conditional formal potential, e°′of methyldopa has been studied by cyclic voltammetry at the surface of activated glassy carbon electrode (agce) as the working electrode in different ph phosphate buffered solutions. the experimental standard redox potential, e°′, of methyldopa is obtained to be 0.72 mv versus she (standard hydrogen electrode). e°′ values have also been calculated with the a...

this paper describes the development, electrochemical characterization and utilization of novel modified molybdenum (vi) complex-carbon nanotube paste electrode for the electrocatalytic determination of ascorbic acid (aa). the electrochemical profile of the proposed modified electrode was analyzed by cyclic voltammetry (cv) that showed a shift of the oxidation peak potential of aa about 235 mv ...

in this paper, a nanostructured modified electrode was fabricated by incorporating of 2,2′-[1,9-nonanediylbis(nitriloethylidyne)]-bis-hydroquinone (nnh) as a newly synthesized modifier and tio2 nanoparticles to the carbon paste (mtcpe) and then was used for the electroanalysis of epinephrine (ep). the electrochemical studies were carried out by using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and di...

in this work, sol-gel method was used tosynthesize titanium dioxide nanoparticles (tio2). the tio2nanoparticles was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and bet technique.the tio2 and coumarin derivative (7-(1,3-dithiolan-2-yl)-9, 10-dihydroxy-6h-benzofuro [3,2-c] chromen-6-on) were incorporated in a graphite composite electrode. the resulting modified el...

Implantable microelectrodes have the potential to become part of neural prostheses to restore lost nerve function after nerve damage. The initial adsorption of proteins to materials for implantable microelectrodes is an important factor in determining the longevity and stability of the implant. Once an implant is in the body, protein adsorption takes place almost instantly before the cells reac...

The performance of battery electrode materials is strongly affected by inefficiencies in utilization kinetics and cycle life as well as size effects. Observations of phase transformations in these materials with high chemical and spatial resolution can elucidate the relationship between chemical processes and mechanical degradation. Soft X-ray ptychographic microscopy combined with X-ray absorp...

A biosensor platform based on polyamic acid (PAA) is reported for oriented immobilization of biomolecules. PAA, a functionalized conducting polymer substrate that provides electrochemical detection and control of biospecific binding, was used to covalently attach biomolecules, resulting in a significant improvement in the detection sensitivity. The biosensor sensing elements comprise a layer of...
