palladium nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (pd/mwcnts) have been synthesized using a modified polyol reduction method and its performance in methanol oxidation reactions has evaluated. the morphology of palladium on mwcnts was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). the catalytic performance of synthesized catalyst ...

Chronoamperometric curves for the oxidation of a ferrocenyl derivative via potential step, calculated using Cottrell equation, showed less diffusion-controlled currents on platinum wire electrode. This lower deviation cannot be explained Butler–Volmer heterogeneous kinetics, but was ascribed to negatively capacitive current associated with redox reaction. The in fully oxidized electrical corres...

Soil enzymes play essential roles in catalyzing reactions necessary for nutrient cycling in the biosphere. They are also sensitive indicators of ecosystem stress, therefore their evaluation is very important in assessing soil health and quality. The standard soil enzyme assay method based on spectroscopic detection is a complicated operation that requires the removal of soil particles. The purp...

Diolefinic antibacterial laser dye namely 1,4-Bis[2-(4-Pyridyl) Vinyl] Benzene (4PVB)have been investigated electrochemically using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, convolution and deconvolution voltammetry combined with digital simulation techniques at a platinum electrode in 0.1 mol / L Tetra Butyl Ammonium Perchlorate (TBAP) in  solvent 1,2-dichloroethane.  The diolefinic ...

Palladium nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Pd/MWCNTs) have been synthesized using a modified polyol reduction method and its performance in methanol oxidation reactions has evaluated. The morphology of palladium on MWCNTs was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The catalytic performance of synthesized catalyst ...

Oxygen reducing biocathodes were formed from sludge under constant polarization at -0.2 and +0.4V/SCE. Under chronoamperometry at pH10.3 ± 0.3, current densities of 0.21 ± 0.03 and 0.12 ± 0.01 Am(-2) were displayed at -0.2V/SCE by the biocathodes formed at -0.2 and 0.4V/SCE, respectively. Voltammetry revealed similar general characteristics for all biocathodes and higher diffusion-limited curre...

OBJECTIVE Electrochemical sensors for glucose monitoring employ different signal transduction strategies for electron transfer from the biorecognition element to the electrode surface. We present a biosensor that employs direct electron transfer and evaluate its response to various interfering substances known to affect glucose biosensors. METHODS The enzyme cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) was...

A robust, miniaturised electrochemical gas sensor for oxygen (O2) has been constructed using a commercially available Pt microarray thin-film electrode (MATFE) with a gellified electrolyte containing the room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C2mim][NTf2]) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) in a 50 : 50 mass ratio. Diffusion coeffi...
