In this work, we are presenting an iron ion (Fe 3+ ) potentiometric sensor based on functionalized ZnO nanorods with selective ionophore (18 crown 6). Zinc oxide nanorods with a diameter of about 100 to 150 nm and 1μm in length were grown on gold coated glass. The selective Fe 3+ ionophore sensor with highly aligned ZnO nanorods has given high sensitivity, acceptable selectivity, reproducibilit...

Two analytical methods, which prove the utility of a potentiometric flow injection technique for determining various redox species, based on the use of some redox potential buffers, are reviewed. The first is a potentiometric flow injection method in which a redox couple such as Fe(III)-Fe(II), Fe(CN)(6) (3-)-Fe(CN)(CN)(6) (4-), and bromide-bromine and a redox electrode or a combined platinum-b...

In an attempt to control the film composition, factors affecting the composition of Ni-Fe alloy deposits and their crystal structure have been analyzed as a function of bath composition, cathode current density, bath pH, temperature and an addition of citric acid. antimony electrode revealed that the deposition potential of Fe coincides with the potential where the abrupt increase of pH was obs...

We present x-ray diffraction experiments and multiple-scattering calculations on the structure and transport properties of a Fe/MgO/Fe(001) magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). Coherent growth of the top Fe electrode on the MgO spacer is observed only for Fe deposition in ambient oxygen atmosphere leading to a coherent and symmetric MTJ structure characterized by FeO layers at both interfaces. This ...

By using ionic liquid 1-hexylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate (HPPF6) based carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) as the substrate electrode, a CoMoO4 nanorods and myoglobin (Mb) composite was casted on the surface of CILE with chitosan (CTS) as the film forming material to obtain the modified electrode (CTS/ CoMoO4-Mb/CILE). Spectroscopic results indicated that Mb retained its native structures w...

The effect of the presence of an Fe-Cr alloy metallic interconnect on the performance and stability of La(0.8)Sr(0.2)MnO3 (LSM) oxygen electrodes is studied for the first time under solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) operating conditions at 800 °C. The presence of the Fe-Cr interconnect accelerates the degradation and delamination processes of the LSM oxygen electrodes. The disintegration of ...

Protein-to-protein electron transfer (ET) is a critical process in biological chemistry for which fundamental understanding is expected to provide a wealth of applications in biotechnology. Investigations of protein-protein ET systems in reductive activation of artificial cofactors introduced into proteins remains particularly challenging because of the complexity of interactions between the co...

Electrochemically enhanced DNA detection was demonstrated by utilizing the couple of a synthesized ferrocene-terminated peptide nucleic acid (PNA) with a cysteine anchor and a sacrificial electron donor [Fe(CN)(6)](4-). DNA detection sensors were prepared by modifying a gold electrode surface with a mixed monolayer of the probe PNA and 11-hydroxy-1-undecanethiol (11-HUT), protecting [Fe(CN)(6)]...
