We report the non-covalent functionalization of a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) electrode with a biomimetic model of the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) active site. By modifying the MWCNT electrode surface with imidazole-modified polypyrrole, a new biomimetic complex of HRP was synthesized on the MWCNT sidewalls via the coordination of imidazole (Im) to the metal centre of iron protoporphy...

α-Fe(2)O(3) nanofibers are synthesized by a simple and efficient electrospinning method and the selective determination of folic acid (FA) is demonstrated in the presence of an important physiological interferent, ascorbic acid (AA), using the α-Fe(2)O(3) nanofiber modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode at physiological pH. Bare GC electrode fails to determine the concentration of FA in the pres...

A mathematical model was developed which evaluates the effect of the applied deposition parameters on the composition of deposited Fe-Ni-Si02 composites. This model assumes that the discharge rates of Fe(OH)+ and Ni(OH)+ are proportional to their respective surface coverage fraction. The inclusion of Si02 with the deposited alloys is considered. Introduction Fe-Ni deposition is classified as an...

In this study, undoped ZnO and doped with Fe and Mn nanostructures were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The morphology of nanostructures was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope. The electrochemical response of the carbon paste electrode modified with nanoparticles of ZnO and also ZnO doped with Fe and Mn toward levodopa (L-Dopa) was studied. Studies of cyclic voltammetry using pro...

Copyright © Korean Carbon Society http://carbonlett.org Abstract In this work, iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were deposited on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by a simple chemical coprecipitation method and Fe3O4-decorated MWNTs (Fe-MWNTs)/polypyrrole (PPy) nanocomposites (Fe-MWNTs/PPy) were prepared by oxidation polymerization. The effect of the PPy on the electrochemical properties o...

A stable Fe(4-TMPyP)-DNA-PADDA (FePyDP) film was characterized on pyrolytic graphite electrode (PGE) or an indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode through the supramolecular interaction between water-soluble iron porphyrin (Fe(4-TMPyP)) and DNA template, where PADDA (poly(acrylamide-co-diallyldimethylammonium chloride) is employed as a co-immobilizing polymer. Cyclic voltammetry of FePyDP film showed ...

abstract background: heavy metals in industrial wastewater especially chromium (vi) are considered as the main environmental pollutants. methods: electrochemical cell made of plexiglass with a volume of 1.95 lit was used. iron and graphite electrodes, electricity conductor, each with dimensions of 0.1×3×10 cm (width×length×height) were designed and built. tests were carried out in various condi...

Spin tunnel junctions fabricated with one interposed Fe–FeOx layer between the Al2O3 barrier and the top CoFe pinned electrode show large tunneling magnetoresistance ~TMR! ~40%! for anneals up to 380 °C. The annealing temperature TTMR * , where maximum TMR occurs, increases with the inserted Fe–FeOx layer thickness. For samples with thicker inserted layer, the pinned layer moment ~which usually...

a carbon ionic liquid electrode (cile) modified with tio2-fe nanoparticles was constructed by incorporating tio2-fe nanoparticles into the paste matrix. under the optimized experimental conditions, using differential pulse voltammetry (dpv), the oxidation of thiocyanate and oxalate were occurred at potentials of 0.740 v and 1.010 v, respectively, at the surface of the modified electrode. observi...

We present tunneling experiments on Fe~001!/MgO~20 Å!/FeCo~001! single-crystal epitaxial junctions of high quality grown by sputtering and laser ablation. Tunnel magnetoresistance measurements give 60% at 30 K, to be compared with 13% obtained recently on ~001!-oriented Fe/amorphous-Al2O3 /FeCo tunnel junctions. This difference demonstrates that the spin polarization of tunneling electrons is n...
