A novel electrochemical sensor gold nanoparticle (AuNP)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) modified pencil graphite electrode (PGE) was developed for the ultrasensitive determination of Bisphenol A (BPA). The gold nanoparticles were electrodeposited by constant potential electrolysis and PVP was attached by passive adsorption onto the electrode surface. The electrode surfaces were characterized by elec...

ABSTRACT. For the first time, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were fabricated with graphite pencil electrode (GPE) by immersing a bare hard black (HB pencil) in AgNO3 solution mixed extract Quercus infectoria solution, followed placing directly against to UV lamp (254 nm) and kept for 30 min. Silver modified-GPEs characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dis...

In this paper, the application of a Graphene oxide (GRPox) integrated on single-use pencil graphite electrode (PGE) for the enhanced monitoring of nucleic acids and for the sensitive and selective detection of the label free DNA hybridization related to Hepatitis B virus (HBV) sequences is described. Electrochemical behaviors of GRPox modified PGEs were firstly investigated using electrochemica...

Electrochemical oxidation of tramadol at pencil graphite electrode has been investigated using cyclic, differential pulse and square wave voltammetric techniques. In pH 9.2 phosphate buffer, tramadol showed an irreversible oxidation peak at 0.77 V. The dependence of the current on pH, concentration and scan rate was investigated to optimize the experimental conditions for the determination of t...

Voltammetric detection of the toxic Zn ion was investigated using a fluorine-doped graphite pencil electrode (FPE). It is notable from the study that pencils were used as reference and working electrodes. In all the experiments, a clean seawater electrolyte solution was used to yield good results. The analytical working range was attained to 10 μgL(-1). The optimized voltammetric condition was ...

Trace uranium detection measurement was performed using DNA immobilized on a graphite pencil electrode (DGE). The developed probe was connected to the portable handheld voltammetric systems used for seawater analysis. The sensitive voltammogram was obtained within only 30 s accumulation time, and the anodic stripping working range was attained at 100~800 μg/l U and 10~50 μg/l. The statistic rel...
