The cathodic stripping voltammetric determination of traces of iodide with a hanging copper amalgam drop electrode

A hanging copper amalgam drop electrode (HCADE) is used for the determination of traces of iodide by cathodic stripping voltammetry. The cathodic stripping peak of copper(I) iodide from the HCADE is better defined than that of mercury(I) iodide from a hanging mercury drop electrode. Optimum conditions and interferences are reported. With a 3-min deposition time at ?0.1 V vs. SCE, the calibration plot is linear up to 2 × 10^?6 mol dm^?3 iodide. The detection limit for iodide with the HCADE under voltammetric conditions is 4 × 10^?8 mol dm^?3; this is lowered to 8 × 10^?9 mol dm^?3 by using the differential pulse stripping technique.     

Voltammetric Determination of L‐Dopa Using a Carbon Nanotubes‐Nafion Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

Abstract

A method for determination of L‐dopa by the adsorption stripping voltammetry (ASV) using a multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)–Nafion modified glassy carbon electrode (GMGCE) was proposed. This chemically modified electrode (CME) shows a better stability. A sensitive oxidation peak was observed and the anodic peak potential is ca. 0.374V (vs. SCE). The influences of various experimental parameters on the current peak were completely studied. Under the optimized condition, the method has been applied to the determination of L‐dopa in samples. There is a good linear relationship between the peak current (i_p) and L‐dopa concentration in the range of 3.5×10^?7～1.5×10^?5 mol/L, with the limit of detection 5.0×10^?8 mol/L.

Electrochemical behavior of dopamine (DA) was investigated at the gold nanoparticles self‐assembled glassy carbon electrode (GNP/LC/GCE), which was fabricated by self‐assembling gold nanoparticles on the surface of L ‐cysteine (LC) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) via successive cyclic voltammetry (CV).

Electrochemistry and Voltammetric Determination of Adenosine with N‐Hexylpyridinium Hexafluorophosphate Modified Electrode

An ionic liquid N‐hexylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate (HPPF₆) modified carbon paste electrode was fabricated for the sensitive voltammetric determination of adenosine in this paper. Carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) was prepared by mixing graphite powder and HPPF₆ together and the CILE was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical methods.

Abstract

The polarographic behavior of the complex of iron–4– (2–pyridylazo) resorcin(PAR) was studied. In HAc– NaAc– EDTA buffer solution, the complex can be adsorped on a hanging mercury drop electrode giving a sensitive adsorptive complex reduction peak with a peak potential at -0.36V(vs. SCE). Optimum experimental conditions were found by the use of 0.08mol/L HAc, 0.06mol/L NaAc, 5.0 × 10^?3mol/L EDTA and 1.0 × 10^?5mol/L PAR. With preconcentration for 60s, the derivative peak height of the complex compound is linearly proportional to the concentration for Fe in the range from 1.0 × 10^?9mol/L to 1.0 × 10^?7mol/L. For a 2–min pre–concentration time, the detection limit found was 2.0 × 10^?10mol/L. This method has high sensitivity and selectivity. It has been applied to the determination of trace iron in food and water samples without any pre–separation step.     

Captopril Modified Silver Electrode and Its Application to the Electroanalysis of Hemoglobin

Abstract

Captopril, 1-[(2S)-3-mercapto-2-methyl-1-oxopropyl]-L-Proline, can be deposited onto a silver electrode by a covalent bonding method to give a long-lived and stable chemically modified electrode(CME). Since the CME is prepared with a reaction between captopril and the substrate silver, the CME being prepared by this method is very stable. Furthermore, Hemoglobin(Hb) exhibits excellent voltammetric response at the modified electrode. Differential pulse voltammetric(DPV) measurements of the protein with this CME reveal the existence of a linear relationship between the anodic peak current and the concentration of Hb in the range of 2×10^?6 ～ 5×10^?5 mol/L. The detection limit is 8×10^?7 mol/L and the relative standard deviation of results is 5% for 6 successive determinations at 2×10_-5 mol/L. The determination of Hb for a real example is carried out.     

Study on the Electrochemical Behavior of Dopamine and Uric Acid at a 2‐Amino‐5‐mercapto‐[1,3,4] Triazole Self‐Assembled Monolayers Electrode

Selected from a series of structurally related heteroaromatic thiols, a newly synthesized reagent 2‐amino‐5‐mercapto‐[1,3,4] triazole (MATZ) was used to fabricate self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold electrode for the first time. The MATZ/Au SAMs was characterized by electrochemical methods and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). In 0.04 mol/L Britton–Robinson buffer solution (pH 5), the electrochemical behavior of dopamine showed a quasireversible process at the MATZ/Au SAMs with an electrode kinetic constant 0.1049 cm/s. However, the electrochemical reaction of uric acid at the SAMs electrode showed an irreversible oxidation process, the charge‐transfer kinetics of uric acid was promoted by the SAMs. By Osteryoung square‐wave voltammetry (OSWV), the simultaneous determination of dopamine and uric acid can be accomplished with an oxidation peak separation of 0.24 V, the peak current of dopamine and uric acid were linearly to its concentration in the range of 2.5×10^?6–5.0×10^?4 mol/L for dopamine and 1×10^?6–1×10^?4 mol/L for uric acid with a detection limit of 8.0×10^?7 mol/L for dopamine and 7.0×10^?7 mol/L for uric acid. The MATZ/Au SAMs electrode was used to detect the content of uric acid in real urine and serum sample with satisfactory results.     

Polarographic and Voltammetric Study of the Sc(III)-Acid Chrome Blue K Complex and Determination of Trace Scandium

Abstract

A new system of polarographic adsorptive wave for determining trace scandium was proposed. In 0.2 mol/L NH₄OAc, the Sc(III)- ACBK [1,8- dihydroxy- 2- (2- hydroxy- 5- sulfo- 1- phenylazo)- 3,6- disulfo- naphthalene, called acid chrome blue K] complex emerged a sensitive adsorptive complex wave(Ep′ = -0.67V). The molar ratio of Sc(III) to ACBK in the complex was established as 1: 2 and the apparent stability constant β₂ = 2.7 × 10¹⁵. But for Y(III), the molar ratio was 1: 1 and β = 1.5 × 10⁵. Because of the particularity of Sc complex, the sensitivity and the selectivity of determination Sc are much better than that of other rare earth ions. The detection limit is 1.1 × 10^?7 mol/L for oscillopolarography and 2.0 × 10^?8 mol/L for adsorptive stripping voltammetry.

Determination of Ethanol Based on Polarographic Catalytic Current of Sulfate Radical Anion Using Ethanol as Catalyst

ABSTRACT

A new method for the determination of ethanol is proposed based on the catalytic current of sulfate radical anion SO₄ ^?. In 0.1 mol/L KH₂PO₄–Na₂HPO₄ buffer (pH5.6±0.1)–1.6×10^?2 mol/L K₂S₂O₈ solution, the first order derivative peak current is proportional to ethanol concentration in the range of 1×10^?4～9×10^?4 (r = 0.9998). The limit of detection is 6×10^?5 mol/L. The proposed method is applied to determine ethanol directly content in ardent spirits. The fundamental principle of the proposed method is that ethanol is oxidized by sulfate radical anion SO₄ ^? electrogenerated on the electrode surface to ethanol α-radical, and the reduction of the ethanol α-radical produces a polarographic reduction wave.     

Study on Diffusion Mechanisms and Determination of Dihydroxybenzene Isomers at the Pre‐anodized Inlaying Ultrathin Carbon Paste Electrode

In this paper, nichrome was adopted as a substrate, to fabricate the pre‐anodized inlaying ultrathin carbon paste electrode (PAIUCPE). The electrochemical behaviors and diffusion mechanisms of three dihydroxybenzene isomers at the electrode were carefully investigated. The effect of pH on oxidation peak current was also detailedly explained. The results were shown that oxidation peak current not only related to the reaction of electroactive materials at the working electrode, but also depended on the reaction variable of reduction at the auxiliary electrode. The oxidation peaks of hydroquinone (HQ), catechol (CC) and resorcinol (RC) located at 0.181 V, 0.288 V and 0.736 V. For CC, RC and HQ, the oxidation peak currents were linear to the concentrations at the range of 5.0 × 10^?6～5.0 × 10^?4 mol/L, 3.0 × 10^?6～5.0 × 10^?4 mol/L and 4.0 × 10^?6～4.0 × 10^?4 mol/L with the detection limits of 2.0 × 10^?7 mol/L, 1.2 × 10^?7 mol/L and 1.2 × 10^?7 mol/L, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied in the simultaneous determination of dihydroxybenzene isomers in artificial sewage samples with satisfactory results.
