a pvc-based membrane containing cerium phosphate was developed. unlike the cerium phosphate itself that acts as a cation exchanger, the membrane exhibited anion-exchange properties. therefore, the utility of this compound as a sensory element for detection of molybdate ions was pursued. the response of molybdate selective electrode based on this membrane was perfectly linear in the concentratio...

a flow injection method is reported for the determination of ascorbic acid based on amperometric detection, using a cobalt(ii) phthalocyanine (copc) modified graphite-epoxy electrode. the amperometric respons was evaluated with regard to ph, ionic strength of the electrolyte, flow rate of the carrier solution, injected sample volume and conditioning time of the electrode. the limit of detection...

a new schiff base 2-aminothiophenol furfural self assembled monolayer (sam) has been fabricated on a bare gold electrode as a novel sensor for determination of dopamine. electrochemical impedance spectroscopywas utilized to investigate the properties of the au 2-aminothiophenol furfural self assembled monolayermodified electrode (au atf sam-me) using the [fe(cn)6]3-/4- redox couple. the electro...

Single-nanoparticle collisions were observed on an n-type silicon electrode (600 μm diameter) passivated by a thin layer of amorphous TiO2, where the current steps occurred by tunneling electron transfer. The observed collision frequency was in reasonable agreement with that predicted from theory. The isolated electrode, after a collision experiment, with a Pt/TiO2/n-Si architecture was shown t...

Ultrathin cobalt phosphate (CoHPO4 · 3H2O) nanosheets are successfully synthesized by a one pot hydrothermal method. Novel CoHPO4 · 3H2O ultrathin nanosheets are assembled for constructing the electrodes of supercapacitors. Benefiting from the nanostructures, the as-prepared electrode shows a specific capacitance of 413 F g(-1), and no obvious decay even after 3000 charge-discharge cycles. Such...

The effects of Nb and Pd on the electrochemical properties of a Ti-Ni hydrogen-storage electrode are studied. The results show that adding Pd or Nd to the alloy can slow down the rate of decay of the exchange current during charge-discharge cycling and is also useful in increasing the discharge capacity and cycle life of Ti-Ni electrodes.

Ternary spinel NiCo2S4 nanorods are tested for the first time as anode electrodes for Li ion batteries. When the electrode is fabricated using the carboxymethyl cellulose-polyacryl amide composite binder, it is found to restrict or suppress the formation of a polymeric gel passivation layer. As a result, the electrode not only delivers excellent specific capacity, but also an outstanding rate a...

fabrication and electrochemical characterization of a sensor for the determination of epinephrine (ep), uric acid (ua) and folic acid (fa) is described. the sensor  was prepared using carbon paste electrode (cpe) modified with 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (ddp) and carbon nanotubes (cnts), which makes the modified electrode highly sensitive for the electrochemical detect...

the preparation of polymer membrane selective to iron(ii) ion and its application to ion-selectiveelectrode is reported here. pvc membrane contains iron–selective n-phenylaza-15-crown-5 asionophore. the membrane electrode is highly selective to iron(ii) ion and exhibit good linearresponse over a wide concentration range of 1.0 × 10-2 to 1.0 × 10-6 m with nernstian slope of29.2 ± 0.6 mv per deca...

In this work we introduce a practical use of synthesized Schiff base metal complex in sensing application. A new perchlorate-selective electrode based on the complex N, N'-4-nitro-phenylmethanebis-(salicylaldiminato) copper (II) [CuL] as the membrane carrier was developed. The electrode exhibits a good  Nernstian slope of -55.0 ± 1.0 mV/decade and a linear range of  for perchlorate. The lim...
