A simple and sensitive voltammetric method using in-situ bismuth film modified glassy carbon electrode (BiFGE) and Nafion-coated bismuth film modified glassy carbon electrode (NC-BiFGE) were used to determine the amount of lead(II) present in locally produced (at Kombolcha, 376 km North of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) and imported cooking utensils and vegetable samples before and after cooking with t...

In this work, a nickel-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was prepared using a potentiostatic method in 0.1 M acetate buffer solution at pH 4.0 containing 1.0 mM nickel nitrate. Nickel hydroxide nanoparticles were prepared using consecutive potential scanning in 0.1 M NaOH solution. The as-prepared catalyst was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical...

The possibility of modification carbon-containing materials by silver micro/nanoparticles the "silver mirror" reaction method directly in pores carbon electrodes intended for spectral emission analysis is shown. comparison known methods obtaining nanoparticles with glucose using Tollens reagent and ultrasonic cavitation given. proof was a energy-dispersed spectra unmodified silver-modified powd...

An array of electrochemical quartz crystal electrodes (EQCM) modified with nanostructured films based on phthalocyanines was developed and used to discriminate musts prepared from different varieties of grapes. Nanostructured films of iron, nickel and copper phthalocyanines were deposited on Pt/quartz crystals through the Layer by Layer technique by alternating layers of the corresponding phtha...

Development of sensitive and selective methods to detect proteins at trace levels is of great biological importance. Via derivatization with a bifunctional cross-linker 4-maleimidobutyric acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (GMBS) and an electrochemical marker 11-ferrocenyl-1-undecanethiol (Fc-SH), voltammetric determination of surface-confined proteins electrostatically adsorbed onto the polyelect...

Background-subtraction techniques were applied to the voltammetry of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) at protein-modified carbon-fiber microelectrodes. The background currents at carbon-fiber electrodes were stable and voltammetric scans immediately before or after the analyte were effectively used for background subtraction. Digital step-potential waveforms were used to excite these ca...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were immobilized on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to form a MWCNTs-CTAB nanocomposite-modified electrode. The electrocatalytic response of the modified electrode towards tryptophan (Trp) was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The surface...

Accepted on 25 th August 2014 _____________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Synthesis of symmetrical Schiff bases (1-4) employed by using condensation methods. Purity was monitored by TLC and column chromatographic techniques. In this present study cyclic voltammetric behavior of symmetrical Schiff bases (1-4) were studied. The cyclic voltammetric studie...
