Construction and Application of an Electrochemical Sensor for Simultaneous Determination of Cd(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II) in Water and Foodstuff Samples

By incorporation of synthesized magnetite nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄ NPs) coated with a new Schiff base into carbon paste electrode, a novel modified electrode was constructed for simultaneous determination of ultra trace amounts of Cd(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II). The complexation reaction of Schiff base with metal ions was studied spectrophotometrically. Under optimal conditions a detection limit of 0.20, 0.90 and 1.00 ng mL^?1 for Cd(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II), respectively, was obtained. We take the advantages of the proposed method for simple, rapid, sensitive and selective simultaneous determination of trace amounts of hazardous Cd(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II) in water and foodstuff samples.     

Study on the Electrochemical Behavior of Melatonin with an Activated Electrode

It was found that melatonin could be incorporated and accumulated on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode which was activated electrochemically by pretreatment in sodium hydroxide solution by means of cycling the potential well into the positive limit of the solvent. In Britton‐Robinson buffer solution (pH 6.7), melatonin gave a sensitive oxidation wave at a potential of +0.65 V (vs.Ag/AgCl) by using Osteryoung square‐wave stripping voltammetry (OSWSV). The oxidation process has been shown to be irreversible and adsorption‐controlled at this electrode by means of cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry. A chronocoulometric characterization of the adsorption characteristics of melatonin at this electrode is also presented. The factors affecting the peak current were optimized, and the dependence of peak currents on the concentration of melatonin was found to be linear in the range 8.0×10^?7?1.0×10^?5 mol L^?1. A detection limit of 5.0×10^?8 mol L^?1 was obtained (signal‐to‐noise ratio of 3). This method was applied to the assay of melatonin in tablets and capsules with good recoveries (98–100%).     

Simultaneous,Selective and Highly Sensitive Voltammetric Determination of Lead,Cadmium, and Zinc via Modified Pencil Graphite Electrodes

Pencil graphite electrode (PGE) modified with MWCNT and Bi³⁺ (MWCNT/Bi/PGE) was utilized in simultaneous analysis of Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, and Zn²⁺. Surface and electrochemical characteristics of MWCNT/Bi/PGE were investigated via SEM, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and FTIR measurements. Even though modification with MWCNT did not improve the electroactive surface area, it significantly decreased the charge transfer resistance. Furthermore, modification with Bi³⁺ significantly increased the sensitivity. Finally, MWCNT/Bi/PGE exhibited the highest sensitivity and reproducibility compared to PGE and PGE modified with only MWCNT. MWCNT/Bi/PGE provided LOD values of 0.27, 0.43, and 1.63 μg L⁻¹, and linear ranges of 1–80, 5–80, and 10–80 μg L⁻¹ for Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, and Zn²⁺, respectively. Proposed modification method offers effective electroanalytical performance with low time consumption and cost for the analyst.     

Zinc oxide nanostructured platform for electrochemical detection of heavy metals

ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NP) were prepared by a facile precipitation technique using di-isopropyl amine as precipitating agent. The morpho-structure and porosity of the as-prepared nano-powder were investigated by FT-IR analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and BET analysis. By drop-casting, a composite film was deposited to obtain ZnO-NP-Nafion/GCE modified electrode. The modified electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) for the detection of Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Fe³⁺, and it was successfully applied for the detection of Pb²⁺ and Cu²⁺ in real water samples.     

Microsensor Chip Integrated with Gold Nanoparticles‐Modified Ultramicroelectrode Array for Improved Electroanalytical Measurement of Copper Ions

This paper presents a microsensor chip integrated with a gold nanoparticles‐modified ultramicroelectrode array (UMEA) as the working electrode for the detection of copper ions in water. The microsensor chip was fabricated with Micro‐Electromechanical System technique. Gold nanoparticles were electrodeposited onto the surface of UMEA at a constant potential of ?0.3 V. The ratio d/R_b of interelectrode spacing (d) over the individual electrode’s radius (R_b) was investigated to improve the electrochemical performance. The UMEA with a d/R_b of 20 showed the best hemispherical diffusion mode, resulted in fast response time and high current response. The gold nanoparticles increased the active surface area of UMEA by not changing the geometries of UMEA, and the current response was increased further. Incorporating the optimized characteristic of UMEA and gold nanoparticles, the microsensor showed a good linear range from 0.5 to 200 µg L^?1 of copper ions in the acetate buffer solutions with the method of square wave stripping voltammetry. Compared with the gold nanoparticles‐modified disk electrode, the gold nanoparticles‐modified UMEA showed higher sensitivity (0.024 µA mm^?2 µg^?1 L) and lower limit of detection (0.2 µg L^?1). Water samples from river water and tap water were analyzed by the microsensor chip with recovery ranging from 100.7 % to 107.8 %.     

Simultaneous and Sensitive Detection of Cd(II) and Pb(II) Using a Novel Bismuth Film/Ordered Mesoporous Carbon‐molecular Wire Modified Graphite Carbon Paste Electrode

An electrochemical sensor for the simultaneous and sensitive detection of Cd(II) and Pb(II) is proposed on the basis of square‐wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) experiments using a novel bismuth film/ordered mesoporous carbon‐molecular wire modified graphite carbon paste electrode (Bi/OMC‐MW/GCPE). Ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) and molecular wire (MW) (diphenylacetylene) were used as the modifier and binder, respectively. The Bi/OMC‐MW/GCPE was prepared with the addition of graphite powder, OMC and DPA at the ratio of 2 : 1 : 1. The electrochemical properties and morphology of the electrode were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), SWASV and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The parameters affecting the stripping current response were investigated and optimized. The experimental results show that the prepared electrode exhibited excellent electrochemical performance, good electrical conductivity and a high stripping voltammetric response. Under optimized conditions, a linear range was achieved over a concentration range from 1.0 to 70.0 μg/L for both Cd(II) and Pb(II) metal ions, with detection limits of 0.07 μg/L for Cd(II) and 0.08 μg/L for Pb(II) (S/N=3) with the deposition time 150 s. Moreover, the sensor exhibited improved sensitivity and reproducibility compared to traditional CPEs. The fabricated electrode was then successfully used to satisfactorily detect Cd(II) and Pb(II) in real soil samples.     

Determination of metal ions extracted by DTPA in a soil treated with effluent using an Hg-electroplated-Pt microelectrode

Determinations of Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn were performed in an oxisol soil treated with effluent originated from a biodigester septic cesspool. The extracts were obtained from a DTPA/TEA (pH 7.3) solution and analysed by electroanalytical methodologies using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) for the analysis of Cu, Mn and Zn and square wave voltammetry (SWV) for Fe analysis, both of them with a thin mercury film microelectrode (ME-Hg). DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) complexes with Cu, Mn and Fe show electroactivity in the potentials range close to the ones for the free ions in solution, but the Zn complex did not show any electroactivity at the potential range analysed. SWASV/ME-Hg and SWV/ME-Hg results were in good agreement (r² = 0.996) with the flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) analyses, demonstrating that electroanalytical methodologies can be used for micronutrient determinations in soil extracts without serious interferences of the matrix components. Some characteristics of the complex formed between DTPA-metals are explored by EPR experiments.

Disposable Screen-Printed Electrodes (Spe) Mercury-Free for Lead Detection

ABSTRACT

Strategies to modify screen-printed electrodes (SPE) for lead determination are reported. Dithizone was mixed with graphite ink to obtain a modified screen-printed strip to detect ppb levels of lead(II) (detection limit 12 μg/l) using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). In addition, screen-printed electrodes were also modified by casting a few μl of a Nafion® solution onto the working electrode surface. In this case, ppb levels of lead were detected (detection limit 15 μg/1), using potentiometric stripping analysis (PSA). The addition of an ionophore to Nafion® polymer was also investigated, but this did not yield a significant improvement.

A Robust Electrochemical Sensor Based on Butterfly-shaped Silver Nanostructure for Concurrent Quantification of Heavy Metals in Water Samples

Heavy metals in drinking water have become a severe threat to human health. Detection of heavy metals has been achieved by electrochemical sensors that are modified with complex nanocomposites; however, reproducibility of these sensors is still a big challenge when applied in commercial settings. Here, a simple, very robust, and sensitive electrochemical sensor based on a screen-printed carbon electrode modified with butterfly-shaped silver nanostructure (AgNS/SPCE) has been developed for the concurrent determination of cadmium (II), lead (II), copper (II), and mercury (II) in water samples. The electrochemical behavior of the modified electrodes was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. The AgNS/SPCE showed distinct peak potentials and a significant increase in the peak currents for all heavy metals, attributed to the high electrical conductivity and electrocatalytic activity of the synthesized butterfly-shaped AgNS. Moreover, the excellent stability and sensitivity towards simultaneous quantification of heavy metals have been obtained with detection limits of 0.4 ppb, 2.5 ppb, 7.3 ppb, and 0.7 ppb for Cd (II), Pb (II), Cu (II), and Hg (II), respectively. Besides, the constructed sensor was successfully applied to simultaneously quantify target heavy metals in spiked water samples. Owing to excellent sensitivity, high robustness, affordability, and fast response, the presented electrochemical sensor could be incorporated into a portable and miniaturized potentiostat device, making it a promising method for on-site water analysis.

Electrochemical Determination of Lead(II) in Environmental Waters Using a Sulfydryl Modified Covalent Organic Framework by Square Wave Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (SWASV)

A novel sulfhydryl-modified covalent organic framework was designed for the selective determination of lead(II) using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. The introduction of sulfhydryl groups enhanced the selectivity and sensitivity of the covalent organic framework for analytes. The sulfhydryl-modified covalent organic framework was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Under the optimized conditions, a sulfhydryl-modified covalent organic framework/gold electrode was successfully used for the determination of lead(II) in water samples. The newly developed square wave anodic stripping voltammetry method exhibited wide linearity (0.05 to 20?ng mL^?1, r?=?0.991), a low limit of detection (0.015?ng mL^?1) and good precision, with a relative standard deviation values <5.1%. The limit of detection was lower than 10?ng mL^?1, the level of lead(II) in drinking water permitted by the World Health Organization. The recoveries of three spiked samples ranged from 90.0% to 104.0%, with relative standard deviations <4.9%. Satisfactory reproducibility and good repeatability demonstrated that the newly developed method is very suitable for the detection of lead(II) in real water samples, with significant advantages over existing methods.     

Electrochemical Determination of Methyltin Compounds

 The electrochemical behaviour of monomethyltin, dimethyltin and trimethyltin compounds in 20% (V/V) methanol/water solution, 0.05 mol/L in tetraethylammonium perchlorate at pH 2.5, has been investigated by differential pulse polarography and differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. In differential pulse polarography, dimethyltin and trimethyltin gave one reversible wave with peak potentials at −0.70 V and −1.07 V, respectively. Detection limits were 6.6 × 10⁻⁷ mol/L for dimethyltin and 4.1 ×  10⁻⁶ mol/L for trimethyltin. The electrochemistry of monomethyltin was found to be more complex. By differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry, monomethyltin, dimethyltin and trimethyltin produced distinct stripping peaks (−0.39 V, −0.75 V and −1.14 V, respectively), which allow to determine these compounds at trace levels. Using this new method, detection limits were: 1.2 × 10⁻⁷ mol/L for monomethyltin, 1.7 × 10⁻⁷ mol/L for dimethyltin and 1.4 × 10⁻⁶ mol/ L for trimethyltin. For monomethyltin, a second peak (E_p = −0.60 V), less sensitive (detection limit of 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L), was also observed at concentrations above 4.2 × 10⁻⁷ mol/L. Recoveries of methyltin compounds added separately to tap water samples at the 0.42–16.9 μmol per litre level ranged from 84.5 to 99.8% depending upon the methyltin species. Received January 3, 2001.

Fabrication of Electrochemical Sensor Based on Layered Double Hydroxide/Polypyrrole/Carbon Paste for Determination of an Alpha‐adrenergic Blocking Agent Terazosin

New insights into the design of highly sensitive, carbon‐based electrochemical sensors are presented in this work. This was achieved by exploring the interesting properties of conductive (Mg/Al) layered double hydroxide‐dodecyl sulphate/polypyrrole nanocomposites which were synthesized by in‐situ polymerization of pyrrole during the assembly of (Mg/Al) layered double hydroxide, and by employing the anionic surfactant dodecyl sulphate as a modifier. Changes in morphology and surface area of the nanocomposites occured as a result of change in pyrrole percentage. Under optimal conditions, the modified carbon paste electrode successfully achieved detection limits of 0.057 and 0.134 nmol L⁻¹ of Terazosin hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulation and spiked human serum fluid, respectively. Moreover, the sensors are highly stable, reusable and free of interference by other commonly present excipients in drug formulations.     

Simultaneous Determination of Copper(II), Lead(II) and Zinc(II) at Bismuth Film Electrode by Multivariate Calibration

In this work, simultaneous determination of Cu(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) ions at low concentration levels (ppb) by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry on a Bi(III) film electrode plated in situ at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) is described. A chemometric approach was used to overcome the overlapping peaks of Cu(II) and Bi(III), the competition of the electrodeposited Cu and Bi for the surface of the GCE and the formation of Cu‐Zn intermetallic compounds. The construction of the multivariate calibration models, based on partial least squares regression, allowed the simultaneous determination of Cu (in the concentration range 8.0 to 20.1 ppb), Pb (2.0 to 30.0 ppb) and Zn (29.7 to 90.4 ppb) with most of the prediction errors obtained in the external validation set for the three models lower than 16, 11 and 26 %, respectively. Finally, this method was used for the determination of these trace metal ions in surface river water samples with satisfactory results [errors below 10, 5 and 32 % for Cu(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II), respectively].
