Novel nitrite sensing using a palladium-polyphenosafranine nano-composite.

A novel palladium-polyphenosafranine nano-composite (PPS-Pd) was synthesized by electrochemical co-deposition at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for fabrication of a nitrite sensor, PPS-Pd/GCE. This PPS-Pd film was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and field emission scanning electron microanalysis (SEM). It was found that the PPS-Pd nano-composite consisted of Pd nanoparticles smaller than 10 nm in diameter which stick together due to the polymer, forming a Pd-embedded PPS layer structure. The sensing ability was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and differential pulse amperometry (DPA). The PPS-Pd/GCE had excellent catalytic activity toward the oxidation of nitrite: high current sensitivity of 0.365 A/M cm(-2), good reproducibility, good stability and fast response. In neutral solutions, a linear concentration range of 1.0 x 10(-6) to 1.1 x 10(-3) M (R(2) = 0.999) with the detection limit (s/n = 3) of 3 x 10(-7) M nitrite was obtained for DPV determination.     

The determination of adrenaline on the porous gold film modified glassy carbon electrode

A simple method has been developed to prepare porous Au film-modified glassy carbon electrode (PAu/GCE). By using a simple electrodeposition process, a dense porous Au (PAu) film possessing good adhesion, large surface area, and mechanical integrity, was obtained. The surface characterization studies confirm that the formation of porous film constituted of Au nanoparticles. It was found, from the CV studies, that the prepared PAu modified electrode shows excellent catalytic activity for the electro-oxidation of adrenaline (AD) in a neutral medium. As to the electrochemical response of redox of adrenaline/adrenalinequinone couple in 0.1 M pH 7.0 phosphoate buffer solution (PBS), at the PAu/GCE, the anodic peak potential E _pa shifted by 50 mV negatively in the negative direction, compared to that on the Au film modified glassy carbon electrode (Au/GCE), indicating the extraordinary activity of PAu in electrocatalysis for the oxidation process of AD. The application of the modified electrode for the determination of AD in pharmaceutical preparations indicates that the PAu/GCE has good sensitivity and reproducibility.     

Electrochemical synthesis of a graphene sheet and gold nanoparticle-based nanocomposite, and its application to amperometric sensing of dopamine

We describe a simple, green and controllable approach for electrochemical synthesis of a nanocomposite made up from electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO) and gold nanoparticles. This material possesses the specific features of both gold nanoparticles and graphene. Its morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscopy which reveals a homogeneous distribution of gold nanoparticles on the graphene sheets. Cyclic voltammetry was used to evaluate the electrochemical properties of this nanocomposite towards dopamine by modification of it on surface of glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Compared to the bare GCE, the electrode modified with gold nanoparticles, and the electrode modified with ERGO, the one modified with the nanocomposite displays better electrocatalytic activity. Its oxidation peak current is linearly proportional to the concentration of dopamine (DA) in the range from 0.1 to 10?μM, with a detection limit of 0.04?μM (at S/N?=?3). The modified electrode also displays good storage stability, reproducibility, and selectivity.

Electrochemical determination of nitrite and iodate based on Pt nanoparticles self-assembled on a chitosan modified glassy carbon electrode

A promising electrochemical sensor was fabricated by the self-assembling of Pt nanoparticles (nano-Pts) on a chitosan (CS) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). A field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrochemical techniques were used for characterization of these composites. It has been found that nano-Pts are inserted into the CS layer uniformly, and have a larger surface area compared to the chitosan modified glassy carbon electrode. Electrocatalytic experiments for the oxidation of nitrite and the reduction of iodate have shown that nano-Pts/CS/GCE can decrease the over-potential and increase the faradic current, which can be used for the sensitive determination of nitrite and iodate. Moreover, the prepared modified electrode exhibits good reproducibility and stability, and it is possible that this novel electrochemical sensor can be applied in the sensing and/or biosensing field.

The fabrication process was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The proposed biosensor exhibited an effective and fast catalytic response to the reduction of H2O2 with good reproducibility and stability. A linear relationship existed between the catalytic current and the H2O2 concentration in the range of 1.5x10(-6) to 2.1x10(-3) M with a correlation coefficient of 0.998 (n=24). The detection limit (S/N=3) was 8.8x10(-7) M.

An Electrochemical Sensor Based on Gold Nanoparticles Incorporated in Mesoporous MFI Zeolite for Determination of Purine Bases in DNA

An electrochemical sensor was developed based on gold nanoparticles incorporated in mesoporous MFI zeolite for the determination of purine bases. Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) were incorporated into the mesoporous MFI zeolite (AuNPs/m‐MFI) by post‐grafting reaction. The composite materials were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical methods. Au nanoparticles with a size of 5‐20 nm are uniformly dispersed in the pores of mesoporous MFI zeolite. And the morphology of MFI zeolite can be perfectly kept after pore expansion and Au nanoparticles incorporation. The electrocatalytic oxidation of purine bases (guanine and adenine in DNA) is investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The surface‐confined Au nanoparticles provide the good catalytic activity for oxidation of purine bases. The simultaneous detection of guanine and adenine can be achieved at AuNPs/m‐MFI composites modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The electrochemical sensor based on AuNPs/m‐MFI exhibits wide linear range of 0.5–500 μM and 0.8–500 μM with detection limit of 0.25 and 0.29 μM for guanine and adenine, respectively. Moreover, the electrochemical sensor is applied to evaluation of guanine and adenine in herring sperm DNA samples with satisfactory results.     

PdCu alloy nanoclusters: generation and activity tuning for electrocatalytic oxidation of nitrite

The process control of electrodeposition of nanoparticles by cyclic voltammetry (CV) is important with respect to the preparation of highly active catalysts. We have simultaneously deposited novel nanoclusters of PdCu alloys on the surface of glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) from a solution. SEM, XPS, XRD and electrochemical techniques were used for characterizing the nanocomposite and the modified electrode (PdCu/GCE). We found that the PdCu alloys form liana-like fractal 2D-nanoclusters on the base and spherical 3D-nanoclusters on the top, and these clusters consisted of 9.9 nm average sized nanoparticles. The 2D-clusters have strong ability to reduce the overpotentials of nitrite oxidation but have small influence on the current response. Inversely, the 3D-clusters have weak ability to influence the overpotentials but strong ability to influence the current response. It is found that the cycle number is important to the catalytic activity of the generated nanoclusters and 25 cycle number was the optimal for obtaining most negative peak potential (0.77 V vs. SCE) with highest CV peak current (0.53 A/M · cm²) and DPV peak current for nitrite oxidation. This PdCu/GCE can be used as a sensitive and stable nitrite sensor with wide linear range. Mechanisms of the deposition and catalytic activity of the nanoclusters are discussed.

The results of cyclic voltammetry (CV) proved that Au/RGO/GCE had the highest catalytic activity for the oxidation of SY as compared with GCE, Au/GCE, and RGO/GCE. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) showed that the linear calibration curves for SY on Au/RGO/GCE in the range of 0.002 μM–109.14 μM, and the detection limit was estimated to be 2 nM (S/N = 3). These results suggested that the obtained Au/RGO/GCE was applied to detect SY with high sensitivity, low detection limit and good stability, which provided a promising future for the development of portable sensor in food additives.
