A selective and sensitive film for electrocatalysis of ascorbic acid based on polypyrrole doped with nitroso-R(1-nitroso-2-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid disodium)

An electrocatalytic detection of ascorbic acid on a nitroso-R modified polypyrrole electrode has been studied. This functionalized polypyrrole film was electropolymerized by constant potential method on a platinum electrode from solution including pyrrole as monomer and nitroso-R as anionic dopant. Electrocatalytic currents of ascorbic acid were linearly dependent on its concentration in the range of 0.12–18.54 mM, with detection limit and relative standard deviation of 0.02 mM and 1.32%, respectively. This modified electrode can be used for determination of ascorbic acid in various pharmaceutical samples. Also, electrochemical behavior of this system was studied by various methods (RDE voltammetry, chronoamperometry, hydrodynamic amperometry and cyclic voltammetry).     

Single-Carbon-Fiber-Powered Microsensor for In Vivo Neurochemical Sensing with High Neuronal Compatibility

The development of new principles and techniques with high neuronal compatibility for quantitatively monitoring the dynamics of neurochemicals is essential for deciphering brain chemistry and function but remains a great challenge. We herein report a neuron-compatible method for in vivo neurochemical sensing by powering a single carbon fiber through spontaneous bipolar electrochemistry as a new sensing platform. By using ascorbic acid as a model target to prove the concept, we found that the single-carbon-fiber-powered microsensor exhibited a good response, high stability and, more importantly, excellent neuronal compatibility. The microsensor was also highly compatible with electrophysiological recording, thus enabling the synchronous recording of both chemical and electrical signals. The sensing principle could be developed for in vivo monitoring of various neurochemicals in the future by rationally designing and tuning the electrochemical reactions at the two poles of the carbon fiber.     

Silsesquioxane Modified with PAMAM Dendrimer and a Bimetallic Complex for Electrochemical Detection of Ascorbic Acid

Octakis(3-chloropropyl)octasilsesquioxane (S) was organofunctionalized with the PAMAM Dendrimer G.0 (SPD). After functionalization, silsesquioxane interacts with copper chloride and subsequently with potassium hexacyanoferrate (III) to produce the structure CuHSPD. The silsesquioxane functionalized with the PAMAM dendrimer (SPD) and the obtained novel hybrid composite (CuHSPD) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The CuHSP voltammogram showed two well-defined redox pairs with E^θ′= 0.27 and 0.74 V, that are assigned to the Cu^I/Cu^II and Fe^II(CN)₆/Fe^III(CN)₆ redox pairs, respectively. The graphite paste electrode containing CuHSPD allowed the electrocatalytic determination of ascorbic acid using various electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and chronoamperometry.     

Ceramic-based multisite microelectrode array for rapid choline measures in brain tissue

A ceramic-based multisite microelectrode array to measure choline in vivo in brain tissues is described. The microelectrodes were linear to 200 μM choline (R²=0.999±0.001) with a detection limit of approximately 0.4 μM (S/N of 3) in both single microelectrode and self-referencing amperometric recording modes. The 90% rise time of the sensor was 1.4 s, allowing for rapid measures of choline. Good selectivity (>300:1) was observed over interferents such as ascorbic acid, uric acid, and DOPAC in the single microelectrode mode. However, a self-referencing recording mode was needed to remove potassium-evoked dopamine signals in rat striatum. In vivo measurements of choline in the rat brain are presented.     

Fabrication and characterization of poly 2-napthol orange film modified electrode and its application to selective detection of dopamine

The present work is based on the use of a redox mediator containing an azo group for the selective determination of dopamine in the presence of uric acid and ascorbic acid by electrochemical method. A modified electrode was prepared by electrochemical polymerization of the poly 2-napthol orange film (P2NO) on the paraffin wax-impregnated graphite electrode (PIGE) by applying potential between ?0.6 and 0.8 V at scan rate of 50 mV s^?1 for 30 segments. The modified P2NO film electrode was characterized by ATR-IR spectroscopy, FE-SEM, cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), hydrodynamic voltammetry (HDV), and chronoamperometry (CA). The P2NO film modified electrode exhibited selective determination of dopamine in the presence of uric acid and ascorbic acid, and the electrocatalytic activity for oxidation of dopamine was excellent. The linear range for the determination of dopamine was 0.6 to 250 μM with a limit of detection of 0.13 μM. The modified P2NO electrode showed good stability and reproducibility. The modified electrode was used for real sample analysis such as human blood serum, rat blood serum, and pharmaceutical samples (dopamine hydrochloride injection). The results obtained were found to be satisfactory.     

Electrocatalytic Determination of Ascorbic Acid at the Surface of 2,7‐Bis(ferrocenyl ethyl)fluoren‐9‐one Modified Carbon Paste Electrode

A chemically modified carbon paste electrode with 2,7‐bis(ferrocenyl ethyl)fluoren‐9‐one (2,7‐BFEFMCPE) was employed to study the electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid in aqueous solution using cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The diffusion coefficient (D=1.89×10^?5 cm² s^?1), and the kinetic parameter such as the electron transfer coefficient, α (=0.42) of ascorbic acid oxidation at the surface of 2,7‐BFEFMCPE was determined using electrochemical approaches. It has been found that under an optimum condition (pH 7.00), the oxidation of ascorbic acid at the surface of such an electrode occurs at a potential about 300 mV less positive than that of an unmodified carbon paste electrode. The catalytic oxidation peak currents show a linear dependence on the ascorbic acid concentration and linear analytical curves were obtained in the ranges of 8.0×10^?5 M–2.0×10^?3 M and 3.1×10^?5 M–3.3×10^?3 M of ascorbic acid with correlation coefficients of 0.9980 and 0.9976 in cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry, respectively. The detection limits (2δ) were determined to be 2.9×10^?5 M and 9.0×10^?6 M with cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry, respectively. This method was also examined for determination of ascorbic acid in pharmaceutical preparations.     

Detection of Uric Acid in the Presence of Dopamine and High Concentration of Ascorbic Acid Using PDDA Modified Graphite Electrode

The properties of graphite electrode (Gr) modified with poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA) for the detection of uric acid (UA) in the presence of dopamine (DA) and high concentration of ascorbic acid (AA) have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The polymer modified graphite electrode was prepared by a very simple method just by immersing the graphite electrode in PDDA solution for 20 minutes. The PDDA/Gr modified electrode displayed excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of UA, DA and AA compared to that at the bare graphite electrode. The electrochemical oxidation signals of UA, DA and AA are well resolved into three distinct peaks with peak potential separations of 220 mV, 168 mV and 387 mV between AA‐DA, DA‐UA and AA‐UA respectively in cyclic voltammetry studies and the corresponding peak potential separations are 230 mV, 130 mV and 354 mV respectively in differential pulse voltammetry. The lowest detection limits obtained for UA, DA and AA were 1×10^?7 M, 2×10^?7 M and 800×10^?9 M respectively. The PDDA/Gr electrode efficiently eliminated the interference of DA and a high concentration of AA in the determination of UA with good selectivity, sensitivity and reproducibility. The modified electrode was also successfully applied for simultaneous determination of UA, DA and AA in their ternary mixture.

At an applied potential of +0.4 V, the RuO₂/MWNTs electrode exhibited a wide detection range up to 3.6×10^?3 M with detection limit of 6.0×10^?8 M (signal/noise=3) for dopamine determination. Meanwhile, the optimized sensor for dopamine displayed a sensitivity of 83.8 μA mM^?1 and response time of 5 s with addition of 0.20 mM dopamine. In addition, DPV experiment revealed that interfering species such as ascorbic acid and uric acid could be effectively avoided. The RuO₂/MWNTs electrode presents stable, highly sensitive, favorable selectivity and fast amperometric response of dopamine.     

A new method for electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid at the Cu(II) zeolite-modified electrode

A new method is developed for the catalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid at graphite zeolite-modified electrode, doped with copper(II) (Cu²⁺A/ZCME). Copper(II) exchanged in zeolite type A acts as catalyst to oxidize ascorbic acid. The modified electrode lowered the overpotential of the reaction by ∼400 mV. First, the electrochemical behavior of copper(II), incorporated in the zeolite type A modified electrode, was studied. The results illustrate that diffusion can control the copper(II)/copper(0) redox process at the Cu²⁺A/ZCME. Then, the behavior of electrocatalytic oxidation reaction for ascorbic acid was researched. The electrode was employed to study electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid, using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry as diagnostic techniques. The diffusion coefficient of ascorbic acid was equal to 1.028 × 10⁻⁵ cm² s⁻¹. A linear calibration graph was obtained over the ascorbic acid with a concentration range of 0.003-6.00 mmol L⁻¹. The detection limit (DL) of ascorbic acid was estimated as 2.76 × 10⁻⁷ mol L⁻¹. The relative standard deviations of 10 replicate measurements (performed on a single electrode at several ascorbic acid concentrations between 3.0 and 200 μmol L⁻¹) were measured between 1.0 and 2.4%.
