Dopamine Sensor Based on a Composite of Silver Nanoparticles Implemented in the Electroactive Matrix of Calixarenes

A sensitive electrochemical sensor based on a composite containing silver nanoparticles and a redox active thiacalixarene with catechol fragments in the substituents at the lower rim has been developed and used for dopamine detection. The electrochemical investigation of thiacalixarene in homogeneous solution and on the electrode interface showed the reversible character of the redox conversion of catechol fragments and its involvement in the chemical reduction of silver which resulted in formation of uniform nanoparticles of 4–6 nm in diameter. The use of such a material for electrode modification made it possible to record a high amplitude cathodic signal at ?700 mV that was proportional to the dopamine concentration within 1 nM–1 µM. (limit of detection 0.5 nM).     

Fabrication of Silver Nanoparticles Decorated on Activated Screen Printed Carbon Electrode and Its Application for Ultrasensitive Detection of Dopamine

In the present study, we report the fabrication of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) decorated on activated screen printed carbon electrode (ASPCE). The AgNPs were prepared by using Justicia glauca leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent and the ASPCE was prepared by a simple electrochemical activation of screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE). The ASPCE/AgNPs shows a reversible electrochemical behaviour with enhanced response for DA than that of other modified SPCEs. Under optimum conditions, the electrochemical oxidation current response of DA is linear over the concentration range from 0.05 to 45.35 µM. The limit of detection is found as 0.017 µM with a high sensitivity of 7.85 µA µM^?1 cm^?2.

Properties of Dendrimer‐Encapsulated Pt Nanoparticles Doped Polypyrrole Composite Films and Their Electrocatalytic Activity for Glucose Oxidation

A type of novel electroanalytical sensing nanobiocomposite material was prepared by electropolymerization of pyrrole containing poly(amidoamine) dendrimers‐encapsulated platinum nanoparticles (Pt‐PAMAM), and glucose oxidase (GOx). The Pt nanoparticles encapsulated in PAMAM are nearly monodisperse with an average diameter of 3 nm, and they provide electrical conductivity. Polypyrrole acts as a polymer backbone to give stable and homogeneous cast thin films, and it also defines the electrical conductivity. Both Polypyrrole and PAMAM can provide a favorable microenvironment to keep the bioactivity of enzymes such as glucose oxidase. The homogeneity of GOx/Pt‐PAMAM‐PPy nanobiocomposite films was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Amperometric biosensors fabricated with these materials were characterized electrochemically using cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) and amperometric measurements in the presence of hydrogen peroxide or glucose. All those show the resultant biosensor sensitivity was strongly enhanced within the nanobiocomposite film. The optimized glucose biosensor displayed a sensitivity of 164 μA mM^?1 cm^?1, a linear range of 0.2 to 600 μM, a detection limit of 10 nM, and a response time of <3 s.     

Electrochemical Detection of DNA Hybridization Based on the Probe Labeled with Carbon‐Nanotubes Loaded with Silver Nanoparticles

A sensitive electrochemical method for the detection of DNA hybridization based on the probe labeled with multiwall carbon‐nanotubes (MWNTs) loaded with silver nanoparticles (Ag‐MWNTs) has been developed. MWNTs were electroless‐plated with a large number of silver nanoparticles to form Ag‐MWNTs. Probe single strand DNA (ss‐DNA) with a thiol group at the 3′‐terminal labeled with Ag‐MWNTs by self‐assembled monolayer (SAM) technique was employed as an electrochemical probe. Target ss‐DNA with a thiol group was immobilized on a gold electrode by SAM technique and then hybridized with the electrochemical probe. Binding events were monitored by differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) signal of silver nanoparticles. The signal difference permitted to distinguish the match of two perfectly complementary DNA strands from the near perfect match where just three base pairs were mismatched. There was a linear relation between the peak current at +120 mV (vs. SCE) and complementary target ss‐DNA concentration over the range from 3.1×10^?14 to 1.0×10^?11 mol/L with a detection limit of 10 fmol/L of complementary target ss‐DNA. The proposed method has been successfully applied to detection of the DNA sequence related to cystic fibrosis. This work demonstrated that the MWNTs loaded with silver nanoparticles offers a great promising approach for sensitive detection of DNA hybridization.     

Comparative Studies on the Quick Recognition of Melamine Using Unmodified Gold Nanoparticles and p‐Nitrobenzenesulfonic Grafted Silver Nanoparticles

Both unmodified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and p‐nitrobenzenesulfonic (p‐NBS) grafted silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were prepared by chemical synthesis, respectively. They could be used for visual detection via the interaction with the twelve amide compounds including melamine. These color changes could be seen with the naked eye directly and monitored by ultraviolet visible (UV‐Vis) absorbance spectra. The recognition mechanism for both nanoparticles was comparatively investigated by the addition of glutathione (GSH) in the presence of melamine, respectively. The triple hydrogen bonding recognition and the attractive van der Waals interactions between melamine (0.5 mg/L) and AuNPs were responsible for the color change during its aggregation (red‐to‐purple or blue), whilst the electron donor‐acceptor interaction between melamine (0.2 mg/L) and p‐NBS modified on the surface of AgNPs resulted in the color changes (yellow‐to‐grey or dark green).     

Three‐Dimensionally Ordered Polypyrrole Electrode: Electrochemical Study on Capacity and Degradation Process

In this work we critically compare electrochemical stability and specific capacitance of the three‐dimensional (3D) polypyrrole membrane and the dense polypyrrole film fabricated at the same conditions. Herein, we concern about study the influence of the electrode morphology on the kinetics of diffusion process by analyzing voltammetry, coulometry and impedance response. This allows us to calculate well‐sustained values of the diffusion coefficient, specific capacitance and diffusion resistance, which summarize equilibrium parameters. The ultra‐thin walls, uniform porosity and well‐ordered structure called “inverse opal” ensure an efficient mass transport and fast charge exchange of the porous polypyrrole resulting in superior electrochemical performance. The calculated diffusion coefficient of anion doping process in 3D polypyrrole is more than two orders of magnitude higher comparing to the control sample. The improved electrochemical stability at high anodic potential is correlated with unique porous and dynamic structure of the polymer that is capable of handling volumetric changes upon electrode polarization. An effective diffusion length for the porous PPy remains unchanged during degradation process (overoxidation) and is significantly smaller in comparison to the dense polymer film, indicating that the degradation process for the porous system is somewhat hindered. This work provides an important insight for fast and scalable synthesis of 3D polymer electrode with improved electrochemical activity and stability for the future energy storage applications.     

Label‐Free Electrochemical Thrombin Aptasensor Based on Ag Nanoparticles Modified Electrode

A novel label‐free electrochemical method for protein detection based on redox properties of silver was developed. As recognition elements, thrombin‐binding aptamers were used. Screen printed electrodes modified with silver nanoparticles (AgNP) were employed as a sensing platform for aptasensor devices. The oxidation of silver upon polarization served as a basis for analytical response. Three different thrombin binding aptamers with various surface concentrations were studied. Linear range of aptasensor response corresponded to the 10⁻⁹ M to 10⁻⁷ M thrombin concentration range and the detection limit was 10⁻⁹ M.     

Electrochemical Characterisation of Polypyrrole Doped with p‐Sulfonatocalix[4]arene

Polypyrrole (PPy) films doped with macrocyclic calixarene anions are attractive materials for the development of selective sensor materials and membrane systems as the incorporation of the macrocycles can confer specific recognition sites within the polymer matrix. However, unlike many other PPy films a calixarene‐doped system is more complicated as calixarenes are themselves electroactive. Here we present results on the electroactivity, impedance properties and morphology of polypyrrole doped with p‐sulfonatocalix[4]arene. The calixarene in the polymer was found to be irreversibly oxidised at potentials greater than 0.500 V vs. SCE and reacted to form a new redox active species that was trapped within the polymer matrix. The results from the impedance and EQCM studies indicated that the calixarene was permanently trapped within the polymer matrix and the polymer acted as a cation exchange material. In addition, the data acquired from the EQCM experiments showed that while the material displayed simple cation exchange properties at high scan rates, at lower scan rates the transport of neutral species was also observed. Overall, our findings indicate that the PPy‐C4S system is suitable for use as a stable conducting polymer doped with an immobile anion within the potential window of ?0.800 V to 0.500 V vs. SCE.     

Preparation of Silver Nanoparticles‐Based Sensors for the Electrochemical Detection of Thiourea in Leaching Solutions of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Waste of electrical and electronic equipment is an interesting secondary resource of base and precious metals. Particularly the use of thiourea‐leaching in acidic medium was proposed for noble metals recovery. In this work, a novel and easy‐to‐use electrochemical sensor was developed, aimed to test thiourea from leaching solutions containing significant thiourea and copper amounts. The sensor was constructed using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) deposited on screen‐printed electrodes. Its performance was studied in a synthetic leaching solution; changes in the overall surface charge of AgNPs resulting in changes in the charge‐transfer resistance for the copper ions were evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticle‐Graphene Composites for Electroanalysis Applications using Chemical and Electrochemical Methods

An electrochemical device was developed for the simultaneous determination of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and trimethoprim (TMP) using differential pulse voltammetry and glassy carbon (GC) electrodes modified with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and silver nanoparticle (AgNP) composites, synthesised using both chemical and electrochemical methods. The morphology and electrochemical behaviour of the GC electrodes modified with the rGO/AgNP (chemical method) and rGO‐AgNP (electrochemical method) composites were characterised by scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. These techniques demonstrated that, in both methods, the graphene oxide was modified by the AgNPs, and the composite synthesised by the electrochemical method showed a better dispersion of the nanoparticles, resulting in an increase in the surface area compared to the rGO/AgNP composite. The GC/rGO‐AgNP electrode was evaluated and optimised for the simultaneous determination of SMX and TMP, achieving detection limits of 0.6 μmol L⁻¹ for the SMX and 0.4 μmol L⁻¹ for the TMP. The proposed GC/rGO‐AgNP electrochemical device was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of SMX and TMP in wastewaters samples.     

Online Detection of Ropivacaine in Drip Bags Using Polypyrrole/graphene Oxide Materials

A novel method of measuring the concentration of the local anesthetic ropivacaine drip bags used in hospi‐ tals was developed using electrochemical impedance technique. Polypyrrole (Ppy)/graphene oxide (GO) composites were prepared by electrochemically polymerization over Au electrodes, which served as working electrodes. The Ppy/GO composite electrodes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Various concentrations of ropivacaine (0.1–20 ppm) were prepared in a sample drip bag solution of 0.9 % NaCl from hostpital. The composite Ppy/1 % GO electrode exhibited strongest linearity (R²=0.960) than the Ppy electrode (R²=0.928) at a frequency of 100 kHz. The detection limits of ropivacaine on Ppy and Ppy/1 % GO were calculated as 0.11 ppm and 0.08 ppm, respectively. The proposed system yielded response and recovery times under 1 sec detecting 0.1 ppm (100 g/L) of ropivacaine; thus, the proposed online method is promising for measuring ropivacaine concentrations in drip bags. Molecular simulations and equivalent circuits were applied to explain the dynamic behavior of ropivacaine detection system using Ppy and Ppy/GO materials.     

Selective Electrochemical Determination of Dopamine with Molecularly Imprinted Poly(Carbazole‐co‐Aniline) Electrode Decorated with Gold Nanoparticles

Dopamine (DA) is a significant neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, coexisting with uric acid (UA) and ascorbic acid (AA). UA and AA are easily oxidizable compounds having potentials close to that of DA for electrochemical analysis, resulting in overlapping voltammetric response. In this work, a novel molecularly imprinted (MI) electrochemical sensor was proposed for selective determination of DA (in the presence of up to 80‐fold excess of UA and AA), relying on gold nanoparticles (Au_nano)‐decorated glassy carbon (GC) electrode coated with poly(carbazole (Cz)‐co‐aniline (ANI)) copolymer film incorporating DA as template (DA imprinted‐GC/P(Cz‐co‐ANI)‐Au_nano electrode, DA‐MIP‐Au_nano electrode). The DA recognizing sensor electrode showed great electroactivity for analyte oxidation in 0.2 mol L^?1 pH 7 phosphate buffer. Square wave voltammetry (SWV) was performed within 10^?4–10^?5 mol L^?1 of DA, of which the oxidation peak potential was observed at 0.16 V. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 2.0×10^?6 and 6.7×10^?6 mol L^?1, respectively. Binary and ternary synthetic mixtures of DA‐UA, DA‐AA and DA‐UA‐AA yielded excellent recoveries for DA. Additionally, DA was quantitatively recovered from a real sample of bovine serum spiked with DA, and determined in concentrated dopamine injection solution. The developed SWV method was statistically validated against a literature potentiodynamic method using a caffeic acid modified‐GC electrode.     

Selective Detection of Dopamine in the Presence of Uric Acid Using NiO Nanoparticles Decorated on Graphene Nanosheets Modified Screen‐printed Electrodes

A convenient, low cost, and sensitive electrochemical method, based on a disposable graphene nanosheets (GR) and NiO nanoparticles modified carbon screen printed electrode (NiO/GR/SPE), is described for the simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA). The modified electrode exhibited good electrocatalytic properties toward the oxidation of DA and UA. A peak potential difference of 150 mV between DA and UA was large enough to determine DA and UA individually and simultaneously. The anodic peak currents of DA were found to be linear in the concentration range of 1.0–500.0 μM with the detection limit of 3.14×10^?7 M.     

Electrochemical Dissolution of Silver Nanoparticles and Its Application in Metalloimmunoassay

This work demonstrates the use of silver nanoparticles as a simple electrochemical biolabel to induce 10⁶ signal enhancement. We propose a mechanism of measuring the silver nanoparticles on a specific screen‐printed planar carbon electrode, without the requirement for the harsh oxidant or toxic reagents described in prior‐art for gold sol methods. The possible measurement process was validated with orthogonal techniques such as UV/Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering and by anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). The findings were utilized to develop a novel electrochemical sandwich immunoassay where the analyte concentration is directly proportional to ASV oxidation peak of silver. This technique in the future is envisaged to form the foundation of a generic Point of Care platform. The assay was applied to cardiac marker: myoglobin with detection limit of 3 ng/mL.

One‐step Hydrothermal Synthesis and Assembly of Copper and Silver Nanoparticles to Aggregates in Glyoxal Reduction System

A simple hydrothermal process has been developed for the synthesis and assembly of copper and silver nanoparticles to aggregates. The reduction of Cu²⁺ and Ag⁺ ions to the zerovalent metal was performed by glyoxal in the absence of any external agent. The produced glyoxylic acid (GA) in the redox process stabi‐ lized metallic copper and silver particles and rendered them oxidation resistant for several months and dispersible in polar organic solvents and water. Detailed nanostructures of synthesized products were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD). The results demonstrated that assembly of nanoparticles to aggregates and their regularity were dependent on the reaction conditions such as temperature and concentration of the starting material. The Ostwald ripening process was proposed to explain the formation of copper nanoparticles by TEM observation at several times during the reaction. The existence of the surface stabilizing agent was identified by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA).
