in this work we introduce a practical use of synthesized schiff base metal complex in sensing application. a new perchlorate-selective electrode based on the complex n, n'-4-nitro-phenylmethanebis-(salicylaldiminato) copper (ii) [cul] as the membrane carrier was developed. the electrode exhibits a good  nernstian slope of -55.0 ± 1.0 mv/decade and a linear range of  for perchlorate. the limit o...

a pvc membrane electrode based on 1-[({[(butylsulfunyl)carbothioyl]disulfanyl} carbothioyl)sulfanyl]butane as a suitable ion carrier for determination of lanthanum(iii) ion was prepared. this electrode revealedsuch a good selectivity toward la3+ ion over a wide variety of other metal ions. some experimental parametersuch as membrane composition, nature, and amount of plasticizer, the amount of ...

A montmorillonite from Wyoming-USA was used to prepare an organo-clay complex, named 2-thiazoline-2-thiol-hexadecyltrimethylammonium-clay (TZT-HDTA-clay), for the purpose of the selective adsorption of the heavy metals ions and possible use as a chemically modified carbon paste electrode (CMCPE). Adsorption isotherms of Hg2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ from aqueous solutions as a function of th...

an enzyme electrode was developed using the enzyme sulfite oxidase (ec1.8.3.1) immobilized onto pig intestine. hydrogen peroxide produced was monitored amperometrically. all experimental parameters such as ph, temperature, buffer constituent concentration, were thoroughly investigated and optimized when appropriate. the response to sulfite concentration was linear in the range 5.2´10-6 to 1.02´...

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...

The Zn-Cu battery is plagued with both the problems of Cu2+ migration into the anodic chamber as well as the problem of shape change of zinc electrodes, where both of these processes together have historically prevented this type of battery technology from being rechargeable. We herein propose using a monovalent selective cation exchange membrane (CIEM) that through X-ray diffraction experiment...

An attempt has been made to develop a highly selective Cu2+-ion selective electrode based on a poly(vinyl chloride) based sensor using 1,2,5,6,8,11-hexaazacyclododeca-7,12-dione-2,4,8,10-tetraene as ionophore with 61.5% DBP in the presence of 29% PVC, 4.5% ionophore and 5% NaTBP as an anion excluder. The sensor exhibits a near Nernstian potential response of 29.5 +/- 0.3 mV per decade over a wi...

A Cu2+ probe based on pyrene derivatives was introduced. Compared to other metal ions, it exhibited a highly selective and sensitive fluorescence response Cu2+.

a pvc-based membrane containing cerium phosphate was developed. unlike the cerium phosphate itself that acts as a cation exchanger, the membrane exhibited anion-exchange properties. therefore, the utility of this compound as a sensory element for detection of molybdate ions was pursued. the response of molybdate selective electrode based on this membrane was perfectly linear in the concentratio...

Cu2+1O coated Si nanoparticles were prepared by simple hydrolysis and were investigated as an anode material for lithium-ion battery. The coating of Cu2+1O on the surface of Si particles remarkably improves the cycle performance of the battery than that made by the pristine Si. The battery exhibits an initial reversible capacity of 3063 mAh/g and an initial coulombic efficiency (CE) of 82.9 %. ...
