Deposition and stripping of lead ions at thiol based disorganised monolayer modified gold piezoelectrodes was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical quartz crystal nanobalance (EQCN). Gold electrodes modified with 3-mercaptopropionic acid and 1,3-dimercapto propane sulphonic acid were studied. Due to the proximity of the potentials for the Pb deposition and thiol reductive desor...

In this work, we presented a simple method to synthesize magnetite Prussian blue nano-composites (Fe₃O₄-PB) through one-pot hydrothermal process. Subsequently, the obtained nano-composites were used to fabricate a facile and effective glucose biosensor. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared ...

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been self-assembled onto electrochemically deposited polyaniline (PANI) films on indium-tin-oxide (ITO) coated glass plates to fabricate glucose biosensor. The covalent immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) in the near vicinity of gold nanoparticles has been obtained using N-ethyl-N'-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), chemist...

Illicit drug consumption is a worldwide worrying phenomenon that troubles modern society. For this reason, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) are placing tremendous efforts into tackling the spreading of such substances among our community. New sensing technologies can facilitate LEAs duties by providing portable and affordable analytical devices. Herein, we present for first time sensitive low-co...

This tutorial paper describes the methods for constructing fast algorithms for the computation of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of a real-valued series. The application of these ideas to all the major fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms is discussed, and the various algorithms are compared. We present a new implementation of the real-valued split-radix FFT, an algorithm that uses few...

The nanocomposite samples, containing copper and iron species in the silica matrix, were prepared by annealing at temperatures up to 1100°C. samples investigated X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry. results of performed study depict presence a temperature gradient, which acts on sample during treatment furnace. For first time, influence gradie...
