Electrochemical behavior and electrocatalytic study of the methylene green coated on modified silica gel

The electrochemical behavior of methylene green (MG) adsorbed on a silica surface modified with niobium oxide (SN) was investigated, using modified carbon paste electrodes. It was also used in an electrocatalytic study of NADH oxidation. The electrode showed a high stability attributed to the presence of SN, which avoids the leaching of the mediator from the electrode surface. The formal potential (E(0')) of the adsorbed MG was -35 mV vs SCE, showing a shift of 30 mV toward more positive potential values, compared to the MG dissolved in aqueous solution. This shift was assigned to the interaction between the basic nitrogen of MG and the acid sites of SN. The variation of the solution pH between 4 and 8 did not affect the stability nor the formal potential. However, for solution pH lower than 4 the formal potential was affected by the acidity of the medium. The electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH at the electrode was investigated. In the solution pH between 5 and 8 the electrocatalytic activity remained almost constant, giving a response signal of 13.3 nA L micromol(-1) cm(-2) and a K(Mapp) of 1.4 x 10(-5) mol L(-1). The electrode gave a linear response range between 5.0 x 10(-4) and 4.0 x 10(-3) mol L(-1) NADH concentration at pH 7.0 at an applied potential of 50 mV vs SCE. Applying a flow injection analysis system, the electrode showed a better analytical performance for NADH detection, presenting a linear response range between 6.0 x 10(-5) and 1.0 x 10(-3) mol L(-1), with an analytical frequency of 30 determinations/h, a detection limit of 8.2 x 10(-6) mol L(-1), and a precision for 25 replicates of 1% expressed as a relative standard deviation.

Electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of hemoglobin in Nafion/nano-CaCO3 film on a new ionic liquid BPPF6 modified carbon paste electrode

Room temperature ionic liquid N-butylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate (BPPF6) was used as a binder to construct a new carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE), which exhibited enhanced electrochemical behavior as compared with the traditional carbon paste electrode with paraffin. By using the CILE as the basal electrode, hemoglobin (Hb) was immobilized on the surface of the CILE with nano-CaCO3 and Nafion film step by step. The Hb molecule in the film kept its native structure and showed good electrochemical behavior. In pH 7.0 Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffer solution, a pair of well-defined, quasi-reversible cyclic voltammetric peaks appeared with cathodic and anodic peak potentials located at -0.444 and -0.285 V (vs SCE), respectively, and the formal potential (E degrees') was at -0.365 V, which was the characteristic of Hb Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couples. The formal potential of Hb shifted linearly to the increase of buffer pH with a slope of -50.6 mV pH-1, indicating that one electron transferred was accompanied with one proton transportation. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy studies showed that Hb immobilized in the Nafion/nano-CaCO3 film still remained its native arrangement. The Hb modified electrode showed an excellent electrocatalytic behavior to the reduction of H2O2, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and NaNO2.

Electrochemical deoxyribonucleic acid biosensor based on the self-assembly film with nanogold decorated on ionic liquid modified carbon paste electrode

An electrochemical DNA biosensor was fabricated by self-assembling probe single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) with a nanogold decorated on ionic liquid modified carbon paste electrode (IL-CPE). IL-CPE was fabricated using 1-butylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate as the binder and the gold nanoparticles were electrodeposited on the surface of IL-CPE (Au/IL-CPE). Then mercaptoacetic acid was self-assembled on the Au/IL-CPE to obtain a layer of modified film, and the ssDNA probe was further covalently-linked with mercaptoacetic acid by the formation of carboxylate ester with the help of N-(3-dimethylamino-propyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysuccinimide. The hybridization reaction with the target ssDNA was monitored with methylene blue (MB) as the electrochemical indicator. Under the optimal conditions, differential pulse voltammetric responses of MB was proportional to the specific ssDNA arachis sequences in the concentration range from 1.0×10(-11) to 1.0×10(-6) mol L(-1) with the detection limit as 1.5×10(-12) mol L(-1) (3σ). This electrochemical DNA sensor exhibited good stability and selectivity with the discrimination ability of the one-base and three-base mismatched ssDNA sequences. The polymerase chain reaction product of arachis Arabinose operon D gene was successfully detected by the proposed method, which indicated that the electrochemical DNA sensor designed in this paper could be further used for the detection of specific ssDNA sequence.     

Determination of 3, 4-dihydroxybenzoic acid by electrocatalytic oxidation at an ionic liquid modified electrode

An electrode modified with an ionic liquid was used for the electrochemical determination of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA). Cyclic voltammetry indicated a pair of well-defined quasi-reversible redox peaks with a formal peak potential located at 586 mV (vs. the SCE). The voltammetric response to DHBA is largely improved compared to a traditional carbon paste electrode. This is attributed to a larger interface (due to the presence of an ionic liquid) with higher conductivity and inherent catalytic capability. The charge transfer coefficient, the standard rate constant and the apparent diffusion coefficient were calculated. The oxidation peak current was linearly related to the concentration of DHBA in the range 0.8–1.5 mM, and the detection limit was 0.62 µM (at 3σ). The effect of potential interferents was investigated, and the method was successfully applied to the determination of DHBA in different samples.

     

Electrochemical Determination of Ascorbic Acid in Room Temperature Ionic Liquid BPPF6 Modified Carbon Paste Electrode

A room temperature ionic liquid N‐butylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate (BPPF₆) was used as a binder to make an ionic liquid modified carbon paste electrode (IL‐CPE), which showed good characteristics such as simple preparation procedure, fast electrochemical response and good conductivity. The electrochemical oxidation of ascorbic acid (AA) on the new IL‐CPE was carefully studied. The oxidation peak potential of AA on the IL‐CPE appeared at 109 mV (vs. SCE), which was about 338 mV decrease of the overpotential compared to that obtained on the traditional carbon paste electrode (CPE) and the oxidation peak current was increased for about four times. The electrochemical parameters of AA on the IL‐CPE were calculated with the charge transfer coefficient (α) and the electrode reaction rate constant (k_s) as 0.87 and 0.800 s^?1, respectively. Based on the relationship of the oxidation peak current and the concentration of AA a sensitive analytical method was established with cyclic voltammetry. The linear range for AA determination was in the range from 1.0×10^?5 to 3.0×10^?3 mol/L with the linear regression equation as I_p (μA)=?2.52–0.064C (μmol/L) (n=13, γ=0.9942) and the detection limit was calculated as 8.0×10^?6 mol/L (3σ). The proposed method was free of the interferences of coexisting substances such as dopamine (DA) and amino acids etc., and successfully applied to the vitamin C tablets determination.     

Electropolymerization of Methylene Blue on Carbon Ionic Liquid Electrode and Its Electrocatalysis to 3,4‐Dihydroxybenzoic Acid

In this paper an ionic liquid modified carbon paste electrode (CILE) was prepared and methylene blue (MB) was electropolymerized on the CILE by using the cyclic voltammetric technique in the potential range from −1.0 V to 0.8 V (vs. SCE). A stable polymer film was obtained and exhibited a pair of redox peaks. The morphology and characteristics of poly(methylene blue) (PMB) film was studied by the techniques such as scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. This PMB modified CILE (PMB/CILE) showed excellent electrocatalytic response to 3,4‐dihydroxybenzoic acid with the increase of the electrochemical responses. The oxidation peak current had a linear relationship with 3,4‐dihydroxybenzoic acid concentration in the range of 5.0 × 10⁻⁴ ∼ 3.0 × 10⁻² mol L⁻¹ and the detection limit was 1.72 × 10⁻⁴ Mol L⁻¹ (3 σ).

Carbon paste electrode for trace zirconium(IV) determination by adsorption voltammetry.

A very sensitive and selective procedure was developed for trace measurement of zirconium based on the cathodic adsorptive stripping voltammetry of the zirconium-alizarin red S(ARS) complex at a carbon paste electrode (CPE). The 2nd-order derivative linear scan voltammograms of the zirconium-ARS complex were recorded by a model JP-303 polarographic analyzer from 0.0 to -1.0 V (vs. SCE). Optimal analytical conditions were found to be: an acetic acid (0.1 mol l(-1))-potassium biphthalate (0.08 mol l(-1)) buffer solution (pH 4.8) containing 4.0 x 10-6 mol l(-1) ARS; accumulation potential, 0.0 V; accumulation time, 180 or 90 s; rest time, 10 s; scan rate, 250 mV s(-1). The results showed that the complex can be adsorbed on the surface of the CPE, yielding one peak at -0.51 V, corresponding to the reduction of ARS in the complex at the electrode. The detection limit was found to be 1.0 x 10(-10) mol l(-1) (S/N = 3) for 240 s accumulation. The linear range was 2.0 x 10(-10)-4.0 x 10(-7) mol l(-1). The developed method was applied to the determination of trace zirconium in the ore samples with satisfactory results.

Electrochemical behavior of pyrroloquinoline quinone immobilized on silica gel modified with zirconium oxide

Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) was immobilized on the silica gel surface modified with zirconium oxide, designated as Si:Zr, by the carboxylic groups of the PQQ molecule and the zirconium oxide on the silica surface. The electrochemistry of PQQ immobilized on the Si:Zr matrix, incorporated in a carbon paste electrode, was evaluated using the cyclic voltammetry technique. The Si:Zr:PQQ-modified electrode showed a redox couple at E(m)=(E(pa1)+E(pc))/2=-0.150 V vs SCE at pH 7, close to that observed in aqueous solution, and another oxidation peak, E(pa2)=-0.100 V vs SCE. Studies in different pH solutions in the range of 3-7 showed that the first oxidation peak, E(pa1), is highly dependent on the solution pH shifting from to -0.175 to 0.100 V vs SCE, while E(pa2) remains practically constant at 0.100 V as the pH decreases from 7 to 3. The immobilized PQQ electrode presented the property to electrocatalyze the NADH at 150 mV vs SCE. The effect of addition of Ca(2+) ions on the electrode electroactivity for the NADH oxidation was also verified. Different from that observed for the PQQ immobilized on other electrode materials, the Ca(2+) ions did not influence the electrocatalytical response; however, the electrode stability was considerably improved in the presence of Ca(2+) ions, indicating that the matrix surface has a great influence on the electrochemical behavior of PQQ.

Direct electron transfer and bioelectrocatalysis of hemoglobin on nano-structural attapulgite clay-modified glassy carbon electrode

Direct electrochemistry of hemoglobin (Hb) on natural nano-structural attapulgite clay film-modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode was investigated. The interaction between Hb and attapulgite was examined using UV-vis, FTIR spectroscopy, and electrochemical methods. The immobilized Hb displayed a couple of well-defined and quasi-reversible redox peaks with the formal potential (E(0')) of about -0.366 V (versus SCE) in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.0. The current was linearly dependent on the scan rate, indicating that the direct electrochemistry of Hb in that case was a surface-controlled electrode process. The formal potential changed linearly from pH 5.0 to 9.0 with a slope value of -48.2 mV/pH, which suggested that a proton transfer was accompanied with each electron transfer in the electrochemical reaction. The immobilized Hb exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide without the aid of an electron mediator. The electrocatalytic response showed a linear dependence on the H(2)O(2) concentration ranging from 5.4 x 10(-6) to 4.0 x 10(-4) M with the detection of 2.4 x 10(-6) M at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant K(M)(app) for the H(2)O(2) sensor was estimated to be 490 microM, showing a high affinity.
