Electrochemical and impedance spectroscopy studies of various diazonium salts on a glassy carbon electrode

Abstract  

The derivatization of a glassy carbon electrode surface was achieved with and without electrochemical reduction of various diazonium salts in acetonitrile solutions. The surfaces were characterized, before and after their attachment, by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to evidence the formation of a coating on the carbon surface. The results were indicative of the presence of substituted phenyl groups on the investigated surface. Also, the effects of diazonium thin films at the surface of a glassy carbon electrode, modification time, and salt concentration on their electrochemical responses in the presence of the Fe(CN)₆^3−/4− probe were investigated. Electrochemical impedance measurements indicated that the kinetics of electron transfer is slowed down when the time and the concentration used to modify the glassy carbon electrode are increased. We therefore modified a glassy carbon surface via its derivatization with and without electrochemical reduction of various diazonium salts in acetonitrile solution.     

Electrochemical Oxidation of Berberine and of Its Oxidation Products at a Glassy Carbon Electrode

The electrochemical behavior of berberine, an isoquinoline plant alkaloid with a wide spectrum of physiological effects, was studied at a glassy carbon electrode using cyclic, differential pulse and square‐wave voltammetry. The oxidation of berberine is a quasireversible, diffusion‐controlled process and occurred in a cascade mechanism with the formation of several oxidation products. The diffusion coefficient of berberine was calculated from cyclic voltammetry studies to be D=1.69×10^?6 cm² s^?1. The oxidation process of berberine is also pH dependent and the number of electrons and protons transferred was determined using differential pulse voltammetry. The formation of several oxidation products that adsorbed at the glassy carbon electrode surface was observed and their electrochemical behavior characterized. A mechanism for the oxidation of berberine at a glassy carbon electrode was proposed.     

Hydrophobic adsorption of surfactants on water-soluble carbon nanotubes: A simple approach to improve sensitivity and antifouling capacity of carbon nanotubes-based electrochemical sensors

Water-soluble multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were prepared by the strong adsorption of Congo red (CR) on MWNTs. The CR-functionalized MWNTs (MWNTs–CR) had a high solubility, a high purity and a special property of strong rebundling when dried, capable of forming uniform and compact MWNTs films with a 3D network structure of nanosizes on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Compared with GCE, the electrochemical response of estradiol at a MWNTs–CR modified glassy carbon electrode (MWNTs–CR/GCE) was greatly enhanced, which was further amplified by the addition of trace cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in solution, along with the accomplishment of antifouling capacity of the modified electrode. The weak hydrophobic adsorption of surfactants on the hydrophobic and smooth surface of MWNTs was found to be the key for simultaneously improving the sensitivity and antifouling capacity of carbon nanotube-based electrochemical sensors by surfactants.

Electrochemical study of Azathioprine at thin carbon nanoparticle composite film electrode

Thin carbon nanoparticle/Nafion film (CNP/N), as a novel electrode material, is formed on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode in a simple solvent evaporation process. The electrochemical behavior of Azathioprine (Aza) at the CNP/N-modified electrode is investigated in detail by the means of cyclic voltammetry. During the electrochemical reduction of Aza, an irreversible cathodic peak is appeared. Cyclic voltammetric studies indicated that the reduction process has an irreversible and adsorption-like behavior. The observed reduction peak is attributed to a four-electron process referring to the reduction of nitro group to the corresponding hydroxylamine. The prepared electrode showed an excellent catalytic activity toward the electro-reduction of Aza leading to a significant improvement in sensitivity as compared to the bare glassy carbon electrode where the electrochemical activity for this compound is very weak.
