Direct current electrotherapy was demonstrated to be an effective and relatively inexpensive local treatment of murine solid subcutaneous tumours. The insufficient knowledge of the mechanisms involved hinders its more extensive use in clinical oncology. Attempts were made to establish the correlation between the effectiveness of electrotherapy and deposition of the electrode material in the tum...

Nickel hexacyauoferrate films have been deposited on the surface of a microbaud gold electrode by cyclic voltammetry. Cyclic voltammograms of the resulting nickel hexacyauoferrate films indicate the presence of a couple of redox peaks which correspond to the hexacyanoferrate(II/III) redox couple. The nickel hexacyanoferrate modified microband gold electrode shows an excellent electrocatalytic a...

A sensitive electrochemical sensor was fabricated for selective detection of nitric oxide (NO) based on electrochemically reduced graphene (ErGO)-polyaniline (PANI)-gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) nanocomposite. It was coated on a gold (Au) electrode through stepwise electrodeposition to form AuNPs-PANI-ErGO/Au electrode. The AuNPs-PANI-rGO nanocomposite was characterized by Field Emission Scanning ...

We have bridged a pair of gold electrodes with various arrangements of gold nanoparticles stabilized with citrate molecules. The resulting devices exhibited current fluctuations at a constant bias voltage and fluctuations of the differential conductance as a function of the bias voltage. These fluctuations were attributed to the interplay of molecular conformation, charge switching, and breakin...

Cadmium(II) is a common water pollutant with high toxicity. It is of significant importance for detecting aqueous contaminants accurately, as these contaminants are harmful to human health and environment. This paper describes the fabrication, characterization, and application of an environment-friendly graphene (Gr)/L-cysteine/gold electrode to detect trace levels of cadmium (Cd) by differenti...

0a thin film of cobalt hexacyanoferrate (cohcf), an analogue of mixed-valence prussian blue, was deposited electrochemically on the glassy carbon, platinum and gold electrode surfaces in 0.5m kc1 solution. the electrochemical behavior of these modified electrodes show three couples of redox peaks by cv in a supporting electrolyte solution of 0.5m nacl, whereas for au modified electrode only one...

A portable vacuum interface allowing direct probing of the electrode-electrolyte interface was developed. A classical electrochemical system consisting of a gold working electrode, platinum counter electrode, platinum reference electrode, and potassium iodide electrolyte was used to demonstrate real-time observation of the gold iodide adlayer on the electrode and chemical species as a result of...

An electrochemical sensor was developed by reconstituting pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and L-proline dehydrogenase on gold electrode. Reversible redox peaks and low redox potential were obtained from cyclic voltammograms, proved that the attached PQQ and FAD accelerated electron communication between enzyme active site and gold electrode surface. It is expec...

We report on a first principles analysis of quantum transport through molecular wires made of 4,4'bipyridine and 6-alkanedithiol contacted by Au electrodes. We investigate how charge transport is altered due to small structure changes at the molecule-electrode contacts. These changes include distance between the molecule and the contact, extra metal atoms at the Au surface, binding sites, molec...

It is essential to control the electronic structure of graphene in order to apply graphene films for use in electrodes. We have introduced chemical dopants that modulate the electronic properties of few-layer graphene films synthesized by chemical vapor deposition. The work function, sheet carrier density, mobility, and sheet resistance of these films were systematically modulated by the reduct...
