多臂碳纳米管/Nafion复合材料修饰玻碳电极测定痕量的铅离子

A composite material of nitric acid oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotube （MWNT） and Nation was prepared. Such composite was modified on a glassy carbon electrode to determine trace of lead by differential pulsed voltammetry. In pH=6.47 NaNO3 solution, Pb^2＋ ions were accumulated on the modified electrode at -0.4 V. Compared with a bare and a Nation film coated electrode, the composite coated GC electrode can reduce the accumulating potential and eliminate the toxic character of mercury. The calibration plots were linear at low concentration of 5.0× 10^-9-2.0× 10^-8 mol/L and high concentration of 2.5× 10^-8-5.0× 10^-6 mol/L. The performances characteristics indicate that the electrode can be used to determine trace Pb^2＋ ions.     

The electrode modified with Langmuir–Blodgett film of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene derivatives with sulfur-containing functionalities for the determination of silver

A new voltammetric sensor, based on a new p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene derivative (TCAD) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique, was designed successfully and used for recognition and determination of Ag⁺. The π?-?A isotherms suggested that the monolayer of TCAD can coordinate with Ag⁺ at the air–water surface. Under the optimum experimental conditions, this voltammetric sensor shows a linear voltammetric response for Ag⁺ in the range of 1.0?×?10^?8?～?6.0?×?10^?6?mol?L^?1 with detection limit 5.0?×?10^?9?mol?L^?1. The high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability of this LB film modified electrode also demonstrate its practical application for a simple, rapid and economical determination of Ag⁺ in water sample.     

Voltammetric determination of mercury (II) in aqueous media using glassy carbon electrodes modified with novel calix[4]arene

A novel calix[4]arene derivative containing benzothiazole group was coated on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and then applied to the recognition of mercury ion. Cyclic and square wave voltammetric results showed that the modified electrode selectively recognizes Hg²⁺ ion in aqueous media. A new anodic stripping peak at −0.3 V (vs. Ag/Ag⁺) can be obtained by scanning the potential from −0.6 to 0.6 V, and the peak currents are proportional to the Hg²⁺ concentration. The modified electrode in a 0.1 M H₂SO₄+0.01 M NaCl solution shows linear voltammetric response in the range of 25-300 μg l⁻¹ and detection limit of 5 μg l⁻¹ (ca. 2.5×10⁻⁸ M). This modified GCE does not present any significant interference from alkali, alkaline and transition metal ions except for Pb²⁺, Ag⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions. Only 500, 50 and 100-fold molar excess of Pb²⁺, Ag⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions, respectively, can lead to voltammetric response comparable with that of Hg²⁺. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine mercury in natural water.

A new voltammetric sensor, Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) film of a p‐tert‐butylcalix[4]arene derivative modified glassy carbon electrode, was designed and successfully used in simultaneous determination of Tl⁺ and Pb²⁺ by square‐wave anodic stripping voltammetry. Under the optimum experimental conditions, this newly developed sensor reveal good linear response for Tl⁺ and Pb²⁺ in the concentration range of 3×10^?8–4×10^?6 mol L^?1 and 2×10^?7–2×10^?5 mol L^?1 respectively. The detect limits are 2×10^?8 mol L^?1 for Tl⁺ and 8×10^?8 mol L^?1 for Pb²⁺. Using proposed method, Tl⁺ and Pb²⁺ in environment samples were determined with satisfactory results.     

Voltammetric Determination of L‐Dopa Using a Carbon Nanotubes‐Nafion Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

Abstract

A method for determination of L‐dopa by the adsorption stripping voltammetry (ASV) using a multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)–Nafion modified glassy carbon electrode (GMGCE) was proposed. This chemically modified electrode (CME) shows a better stability. A sensitive oxidation peak was observed and the anodic peak potential is ca. 0.374V (vs. SCE). The influences of various experimental parameters on the current peak were completely studied. Under the optimized condition, the method has been applied to the determination of L‐dopa in samples. There is a good linear relationship between the peak current (i_p) and L‐dopa concentration in the range of 3.5×10^?7～1.5×10^?5 mol/L, with the limit of detection 5.0×10^?8 mol/L.     

Electrocatalytic oxidation of nitric oxide at nano-TiO2/Nafion composite film modified glassy carbon electrode

A novel nanocrystalline TiO₂ (nano-TiO₂) and Nafion composite film modified glassy carbon electrode has been developed for the determination of nitric oxide (NO) radical in an aqueous solution. This modified electrode can be employed as a NO sensor with a low detection limit, fast response, high sensitivity and selectivity. Two apparent anodic peaks were observed at 0.67 and 0.95 V at the nano-TiO₂ modified glassy carbon electrode by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). After further modification with a thin film of Nafion, which was capable of preventing some anionic interference such as nitrite and ascorbic acid, only one peak appeared and the peak current enhanced greatly. The chronocoulometric experimental results showed NO was oxidized by one-electron transfer reaction at the composite film modified electrode. The amperometric responses increased linearly with the concentrations of NO ranging from 3.6×10⁻⁷ mol/L to 5.4×10⁻⁵ mol/L. The detection limit was estimated to be 5.4×10⁻⁸ mol/L. In this sensor system, the modification film provides complete selectivity for NO over nitrite anions (NO₂⁻).     

Fabrication of Bismuth/Multi-walled Carbon Nanotube Composite Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode for Determination of Cobalt

A bismuth/multi‐walled carbon nanotube (Bi/MWNT) composite modified electrode for determination of cobalt by differential pulse adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry is described. The electrode is fabricated by potentiostatic pre‐plating bismuth film on an MWNT modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The Bi/MWNT composite modified electrode exhibits enhanced sensitivity for cobalt detection as compared with the bare GC, MWNT modified and bismuth film electrodes. Numerous key experimental parameters have been examined for optimum analytical performance of the proposed electrode. With an adsorptive accumulation of the Co(II)‐dimethylglyoxime complex at ?0.8 V for 200 s, the reduction peak current is proportional to the concentration of cobalt in the range of 4.0×10^?10?1.0×10^?7 mol/L with a lower detection limit of 8.1×10^?11 mol/L. The proposed method has been applied successfully to cobalt determination in seawater and lake water samples.     

Voltammetric determination of cadmium(II) using a chemically modified electrode

An 1-(pyridylazo)-2-naphthol modified glassy carbon electrode has been investigated as sensor for the measurement of trace levels of Cd²⁺. Cd²⁺ is deposited on the surface of a PAN modified glassy carbon electrode at –1.10 V (vs. SCE) via forming Cd²⁺–PAN and subsequent reduction at the electrode. In the following step, Cd-PAN is oxidized, and voltammograms are recorded by scanning the potential in a positive direction. Calibration plots were found to be linear in the range 2 × 10^–8 mol/L to 8 × 10^–7 mol/L. The detection limit was 5 × 10^–10 mol/L, and the coefficient of variation, determined on one single electrode at a concentration of 5 × 10^–7 mol/L, was calculated to be 3.2% (n = 5). Using this new kind of modified electrode, trace levels of Cd(II) in water samples were determined; the average recovery was calculated to be 98.78%.

Dulplex analysis of mercury and silver ions using a label-free fluorescent aptasensor

Label-free Hg²⁺ aptamer was used as a sensing element and the PicoGreen dye was specific to ultra-sensitive double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), which achieved novel fluorescence assay for detection of both mercury and silver ions. In this aptasensor, Hg²⁺ bound to thymidine (T) to form T–Hg^2+-T base pairs and Ag⁺ specifically interacted with C–C mismatches to produce C–Ag⁺–C base pairs. The conformation changes prevented the aptamer from binding to its complementary sequences to form dsDNA and caused a fluorescence intensity decrease with PicoGreen. The change in the fluorescence intensity made it possible to detect both Hg²⁺ and Ag⁺ in a dose-dependent manner. The sensing system could detect as low as 5 × 10^–8 mol/L of Hg²⁺ and 9.3 × 10^–10 mol/L of Ag⁺. The fluorescent intensity changes in the system were specific for Hg²⁺ and Ag⁺, making this simple and cost-effective method extremely valuable in its future applications in monitoring Hg²⁺ and Ag⁺ pollution in environmental analysis.

A highly sensitive electrochemical biosensor for the detection of trace amounts of 8‐azaguanine has been designed. Double stranded (ds)DNA molecules are immobilized onto a glassy carbon electrode surface with Langmuir–Blodgett technique.

The method proposed was applied successfully for the determination of 8‐azaguanine in diluted human urine with wonderful satisfactory.
