DNA biosensors (or genosensors) are analytical devices that result from the integration of a sequence-specific probe and a signal transducer. Among other techniques, electrochemical and piezoelectric methods have recently emerged as the most attractive due to their simplicity, low instrumentation costs, possibility for real-time and label-free detection and generally high sensitivity. Focusing ...

In this paper, the effect of penicillin G drug as a green corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in 1.0 Mhydrochloric acid solution has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical noise (EN) techniques. The inhibition efficiencywas found to increase with increasing inhibitor concentration. Potentiodynamic polarizationmeasureme...

In this work, polypyrrole/ZnO nanocomposite (PPy/ZnO NC) was produced through synthesis of polypyrrole polymer in the presence of ZnO nanoparticles. The corrosion behavior of polyvinyl butyral coatings without and with different weight percentages of nanocomposite on the surface of 7075 Al alloy was investigated in 3.5% NaCl solution at different immersion times using electrochemical impedance ...

The combination of simple Electrochemical Micro-Paper-based Analytical Devices (EµPADs) with commercially available glucometers allows rapid, quantitative electrochemical analysis of a number of compounds relevant to human health (e.g., glucose, cholesterol, lactate, and alcohol) in blood or urine.

Electrochemical reaction behavior of a commercial Li-ion battery (LiFePO4-based cathode, graphite-based anode) has been measured via in-situ neutron diffraction. Multivariate analysis was successfully applied to the neutron diffraction dataset facilitating in the determination of Li bearing phases participating in the electrochemical reaction in both the anode and cathode as a function of state...

In the previous lecture, we leant about impedance spectroscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is the technique where the cell or electrode impedance is platted versus frequency. Thus, the impedance is measured as a function of the frequency of the AC source. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is a useful method for investigating porous electrodes, which are extensively used in the ...

In this study, electrochemical behaviour of passive films formed on AISI 316L stainless steel (AISI 316L) in three acidic solutions concentrations (0.3, 0.6, and 0.9M HNO3) under open circuit potential conditions were evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization, Mott–Schottky analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The potentiodynamic polarization results showed that...

The key to security risks assessment in rural power network is hazards assessment, it is very important to select a proper assessment methods. Based on comparative study of characteristic, applicable condition and application scope of operating conditions hazard assessment method(LEC), risk assessment code method(RAC), Fault type and effect analysis (FMEA), Event Tree Analysis(ETA) and etc, the...

Micro- and nanostructured electrodes form an integral part of a wide variety of electrochemical systems for biomolecular detection, batteries, solar cells, scanning electrochemical microscopy, etc. Given the complexity of the electrode structures, the Butler-Volmer formalism of redox reactions, and the diffusion transport of redox species, it is hardly surprising that only a few problems are am...
