Amplified oxadiazole derivative nano MgO–multiwall carbon nanotubes modified carbon paste electrode for the determination of dopamine in presence of morphine

In this paper, we report the fabrication of an amplified sensor to determine dopamine in the presence of morphine based on nano-MgO, multiwall carbon nanotubes, and an oxadiazole derivative. The electrochemical behavior and electrocatalyic activity of the sensor toward the oxidation of dopamine were investigated. Cyclic voltammetry was used to study the redox features of the sensor, and the results have shown that dopamine overpotential oxidation at the surface of the sensor was reduced to nearly 460 mV. The diffusion coefficient was estimated by chronoamperometry. Three segmented linear dynamic ranges over the range 0.05–5175.0 and detection limit of 0.021 μM for the quantification of dopamine were obtained using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The modified nanocomposite carbon paste electrode, which showed excellent sensitivity, selectivity, repeatability, and reproducibility, was satisfactorily employed to determine dopamine and morphine in actual samples.     

Electrochemical methods for simultaneous determination of trace amounts of dopamine and uric acid using a carbon paste electrode incorporated with multi-wall carbon nanotubes and modified with α-cyclodextrine

In this work, we investigate the electrochemical activity of dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA) using both a bare and a modified carbon paste electrode as the working electrode, with a platinum wire as the counter electrode and a silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) as the reference electrode. The modified carbon paste electrode consists of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (>95%) treated with α-cyclodextrine, resulting in an electrode that exhibits a significant catalytic effect toward the electro-chemical oxidation of DA in a 0.2-M Britton–Robinson buffer solution (pH 5.0). The peak current increases linearly with the DA concentration within the molar concentration ranges of 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ to 5.0 × 10⁻⁵ M and 5.0 × 10⁻⁵ to 1.9 × 10⁻⁴ M. The detection limit (signal to noise >3) for DA was found to be 1.34 × 10⁻⁷ M, respectively. In this work, voltammetric methods such as cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, chronocuolometry, differential pulse and square wave voltammetry, and linear sweep and hydrodynamic voltammetry were used. Cyclic voltammetry was used to investigate the redox properties of the modified electrode at various scan rates. The diffusion coefficient (D, cm² s⁻¹ = 3.05 × 10⁻⁵) and the kinetic parameters such as the electron transfer coefficient (α = 0.51) and the rate constant (k, cm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹ = 1.8 × 10³) for DA were determined using electrochemical approaches. By using differential pulse voltammetry for simultaneous measurements, we obtained two peaks for DA and UA in the same solution, with the peak separation approximately 136 mV. The average recovery was measured at 102.45% for DA injection.     

Glassy carbon electrode modified with organic�Cinorganic pillared montmorillonites for voltammetric detection of mercury

A glassy carbon electrode modified with organic?Cinorganic pillared montmorillonite was used for voltammetric detection of mercury(II) in water. High sensitivity is obtained due to the use of the montmorillonites which displays outstanding capability in terms of adsorbing mercury ion due to its high specific surface and the presence of multiple binding sites. The experimental parameters and the effect of a chelating agent were optimized to further enhance sensitivity and selectivity. Linear calibration curves were obtained over the Hg(II) concentration range from 10 to 800???g?L^?1 for 5?min accumulation, with a detection limit of 1???g?L^?1. Simultaneous determination of Hg(II) and Cu(II) was also studied, and no interference was observed.

Electrocatalytic determination of propranolol hydrochloride at carbon paste electrode based on multiwalled carbon-nanotubes and γ-cyclodextrin

A carbon paste electrode based on γ-cyclodextrin–carbon nanotube composite (γ-CD–CNT–CME) was developed for the determination of propranolol hydrochloride (PRO). The electrochemical behaviour of PRO was investigated employing cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and differential pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetry (DPAdSV).

A detection limit (S/N = 3) of 4.01 × 10^?8 M was obtained for PRO by means of DPAdSV. The proposed method was employed for the determination of PRO in pharmaceutical formulations, urine and blood serum samples.

In the present work, a new voltammetric sensor, Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) film of tetraoxocalix[2]arene[2]triazine (TOCT) modified glassy carbon electrode (LB_TOCT-GCE), for trace analysis of copper ion in water samples, was prepared.

By this method, real samples (lake water, drinking water, and city wastewater) were analyzed with satisfactory results. In addition, the fabricated electrode exhibited a distinct advantage of simple preparation, non-toxicity, good reproducibility, and stability.     

Copper–mercury film electrode for cathodic stripping voltammetric determination of Se(IV)

The copper-mercury film electrode has been suggested for the determination of Se(IV) in a wide range of concentration from 1x10(-9) to 1x10(-6) mol L(-1)by square-wave cathodic stripping voltammetry. Insufficient reproducibility and sensitivity of the mercury film electrode have been overcome by using copper(II) ions during the plating procedure. Copper(II) has been found to be reduced and form a reproducible copper-mercury film on a glassy carbon electrode surface. The plating potential and time, the concentration of copper(II) and the concentration of the supporting electrolyte have been optimised. Microscopy has been used for a study of the morphology of the copper-mercury film. It has been found that it is the same as for the mercury one. The preconcentration step consists in electrodeposition of copper selenide on the copper-mercury film. The relative standard deviation is 4.3% for 1x10(-6) mol L(-1) of Se(IV). The limit of detection is 8x10(-10) mol L(-1) for 5 min of accumulation.     

Indirect voltammetric determination of caffeine content in coffee using 1,4-benzoquinone modified carbon paste electrode

In this paper a simple and highly sensitive electroanalytical method for the determination of caffeine content using 1,4-benzoquinone modified carbon paste electrode is presented. The method is based on suppression of 1,4-benzoquinone peak current on addition of caffeine. Square-wave and cyclic voltammetric techniques were utilised for the investigation. The 1,4-benzoquinone modified electrode exhibited a well-defined peak with reproducible peak current values for repetitive measurements; and showed a decrease in peak current value with an increase in caffeine content. The result revealed two linear range regions between 0 mmol L⁻¹ and 0.5 mmol L⁻¹ and 0.5 mmol L⁻¹ and 8.0 mmol L⁻¹, with detection limits of 0.3 μmol L⁻¹ and 5.1 μmol L⁻¹, respectively. The method was then successfully applied to the determination of caffeine content in coffee samples. The effects of pH, electrode composition, step potential, pulse amplitude and square-wave frequency on the voltammetric responses were also investigated.     

Voltammetric behavior and determination of bismuth on sodium humate modified carbon paste electrode

The preconcentration and voltammetric behavior of Bi^III on a sodium humate modified carbon paste electrode was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse stripping voltammetry (DPSV). The proposed measurement involves an initial nonelectrolytic preconcentration step in which Bi^III is complexed by the surface modifier in a solution of 0.05 M KNO₃-0.0106 M HNO₃ (pH 2.0) and a subsequent electrochemical scan step in which the preconcentrated Bi^III was reduced and then oxidized promptly in supporting electrolyte of 0.5 M HNO₃. The resulting DPSV anodic current was proportional to the concentration of Bi^III ion over the range of 4.78 × 10⁻⁸–1.44 × 10⁻⁵ M. The detection limit was 4.78 × 10⁻⁸ M. The proposed method was used to determine bismuth in various samples. Various factors affecting the electrode behavior were also investigated at the same time.     

Copper oxide nanopowder modified carbon paste electrode for the voltammetric assay of vonoprazan

Vonoprazan (VPZ) is a novel promising member of gastric acid-suppressive medicinal administrated in Japan in 2015. Only a few HPLC analysis protocols were reported for VPZ assaying, therefore, the present work describes for the first time a novel copper oxide nanoparticles-based sensor as a promising analytical tool for differential pulse voltammetric determination of vonoprazan with enhanced sensitivity compared with the bare electrode. An irreversible oxidation process with the two-electron transfer was elucidated with scan rate measurements. At the optimized conditions, peak heights showed against VPZ in the concentration range from 0.99 to 20.00 µg mL^?1, and detection limit of 0.24 µg mL^?1. The proposed sensor showed prolonged stability with a 95% recovery of the original peak height within the first 30 days. Good reproducibility and repeatability of the fabrication protocol was reported with RSD 1.3%. Noticeable resolution between the VPZ, ascorbic acid, and uric voltammetric peaks allows accurate assaying of VPZ in biological fluids with average recoveries agreeable with the conventional HPLC techniques.     

A study on the determination of chromium as chromate at a carbon paste electrode modified with surfactants

A procedure for the determination of chromium is described based on synergistic pre-concentration of the chromate anion at a carbon paste electrode modified in situ with quarternary ammonium salts such as 1-ethoxycarbonylpentadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (Septonex^®), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) or cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB). The proper electrochemical detection utilises the reduction Cr(VI) → Cr(III) performed in the differential pulse cathodic voltammetric mode. In discussion, considerable attention has been paid to the accumulation mechanism at the carbon paste electrode in the presence of surfactants. Furthermore, after optimising the corresponding experimental conditions (0.1-0.3 M HCl + 0.1 M NaCl as the supporting electrolyte, 2.5-25 μM as the total concentration of modifier, pre-concentration at +0.7 V versus Ag/AgCl and the stripping from +0.7 to −0.4 V), the analytical performance of the method has been evaluated. The signal of interest was reproducible within ±8% and proportional to the concentration in a range of 0.5-50 μM CrO₄²⁻, with a limit of detection (S/N = 3:1) of about 5×10⁻⁸ M CrO₄²⁻ (with accumulation for 300 s). Interference studies were focused mainly on the species capable of forming ion-pairs with the modifier; i.e., TlCl₄⁻, AuCl₄⁻, PdCl₄²⁻, PtCl₆²⁻, VO₄³⁻, MnO₄⁻ and I⁻. Practical applicability of the method was tested on model solutions via the recovery rates (typically 90-110%) or using selected certified reference materials (tea, bush leaves, clover) and two samples of black tea when the respective results were compared to those obtained by the reference determinations with ICP-AES.

The electrochemical response of a modified-carbon nanotubes paste electrode with p-aminophenol was investigated as an electrochemical sensor for sulfite determination. The electrochemical behaviour of sulfite was studied at the surface of the modified electrode in aqueous media using cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry.

New triiodomercurate-modified carbon paste electrode for the potentiometric determination of mercury

A new tetrazolium-triiodomercurate-modified carbon paste electrode has been described for the sensitive and selective determination of mercury. The electrode shows a stable, near-Nernstian response for 1×10⁻³ to 6×10⁻⁶ M [HgI₃]⁻ at 25 °C over the pH range of 4.0-9.0, with an anionic slope of 55.5±0.4 mV. The lower detection limit is 4×10⁻⁶ M with a fast response time of 30-50 s. Selectivity coefficients of a number of interfering anions and iodo complexes of some metal ions have been estimated. The interference from many of the investigated ions is negligible. The determination of 1-200 μg/ml of mercury in aqueous solutions shows an average recovery of 98.5% and a mean relative standard deviation of 1.6% at 50.0 μg/ml. The direct determination of mercury in spiked wastewater, metal amalgams and dental alloy gave results that compare favorably with those obtained by the cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometric method. Potentiometric titration of mercury and phenylmercury acetate with standard potassium iodide has been monitored using the developed triiodomercurate-carbon paste electrode (CPE) as an end point indicator electrode.
