Electrochemical Characterization of Poly(N‐acetylaniline)/Nafion Composite Film in Neutral and Basic Aqueous Solutions

Electrochemical synthesis of poly(N‐acetylaniline) (PNAANI)/Nafion composite film was carried out by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Its surface morphology, which was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), revealed that PNAANI was dispersed into the Nafion film uniformly. X‐ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) of the composite film was also examined. The electroactivity of the composite film was high in neutral and basic solutions, and the stability of PNAANI/Nafion film in neutral and basic solutions was excellent.     

Label-free and sensitive impedimetric nanosensor for the detection of cocaine based on a supramolecular complexation with β-cyclodextrin,immobilized on a nanostructured polymer film

Cocaine, a powerful addictive stimulant drug, has a variety of adverse effects on the body, thus its sensitive detection is very important. Here, we report on a simple, label-free, and sensitive impedimetric sensor for determination of cocaine based on its affinity to form an inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). First, we prepared nanostructured poly N-acetylaniline film via electropolymerization of its monomer on a glassy carbon electrode (PNAANI/GC), subsequently overoxidized it, and conjugated β-CD to the polymer backbone. The designed and synthesized nanostructured PNAANI film serves a dual function in the sensor: on one hand, it maintains a high effective surface area on a geometrically small electrode that significantly enhances the number of β-CD molecules immobilized on the electrode; on the other hand, it provides an upright-oriented β-CD conjugation to the polymer backbone, thus all the β-CD receptors are actively involved in responding to the target. Sensitivity of the sensor was further enhanced by preconcentration of cocaine on the modified electrode surface. We attributed the changes in the interfacial charge transfer resistance (R _ct) of the electrode to cocaine concentration. Under optimized condition (pH 7.4, 5-min accumulation at an open circuit voltage), the sensor responded to cocaine concentration in the range of 100 nM–1.0 mM with a detection limit of 50 nM. Selectivity of the sensor for cocaine relative to some potential inferring compounds was also investigated, and the results were promising. The proposed approach exhibited an extended dynamic range, low detection limit, good sensitivity, and a desirable selectivity, which provides an efficient application prospect for on-field cocaine sensing.

Cyclodextrin Host‐Guest Recognition Approach for Simultaneous Quantification and Voltammetric Studies of Levodopa and Carbidopa in Pharmaceutical Products

An electrochemical sensor for simultaneous quantification of Levodopa (L‐dopa) and Carbidopa (C‐dopa) using a β‐cyclodextrin/poly(N‐acetylaniline) (β‐CD/PNAANI) modified carbon paste electrode has been developed. Preconcentrating effect of β‐CD as well as its different inclusion complex stability with L‐dopa and C‐dopa was used to construct an electrochemical sensor for quantification of these important analytes. The overlapping anodic peaks of L‐dopa and C‐dopa at 810 mV on bare carbon paste electrode resolved in two well‐defined voltammetric peaks at 450 and 880 mV vs. Ag/AgCl, respectively, with a drastic enhancement of the anodic peak currents. Under optimized conditions, linear calibration curves were obtained in the ranges of 0.5–117 µM and 1.6–210 µM with detection limits down to 0.2 and 0.8 µM for L‐dopa and C‐dopa, respectively. The proposed electrode was successfully applied for the determination of L‐dopa /C‐dopa in pharmaceutical formulations and the results were in close agreement with the labeled values.

Effect of ex situ hydrogenation on the structure and electrochemical properties of amorphous silicon thin film

Nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries were widely used due to their various advantages, but its further application and development have been seriously hindered by the low electrochemical discharge capacity of conventional hydrogen storage alloy electrode. The hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film electrode for Ni-MH battery has been proven to have a dramatic electrochemical capacity. We prepared a-Si:H thin films by a two-step process of rf-sputtering followed by hydrogenation, and investigated the effect of hydrogenation on the structure and electrochemical properties of which as an anode. The maximum discharge capacity of a-Si:H thin film electrode after hydrogenation increases from initial 180 mAh·g⁻¹to 1827 mAh·g⁻¹, which is over tenfold that of as-deposited hydrogen-less a-Si thin film electrode. Then, the preliminary relationships between hydrogen content and electrochemical performance of a-Si:H thin film electrode were analyzed, and several negative factors of electrochemical performance for a-Si:H thin film electrode were proposed.

Electrochemical determination of methimazole based on the acetylene black/chitosan film electrode and its application to rat serum samples

A novel method has been developed for the determination of methimazole, which was based on the enhanced electrochemical response of methimazole at the acetylene black/chitosan composite film modified glassy carbon electrode. The electrochemical behavior of methimazole was studied at this film electrode by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The experimental results showed that methimazole exhibited a remarkable oxidation peak at 0.63V at the film electrode. Compared with the bare glassy carbon electrode, the oxidation peak current increased greatly, and the peak potential shifted negatively, which indicated that the acetylene black/chitosan film electrode had good catalysis to the electrochemical oxidation of methimazole. The enhanced oxidation current of methimazole was indebted to the nano-porus structure of the composite film and the enlarged effective electrode area. The influences of some experimental conditions on the oxidation of methimazole were tested and the calibration plot was examined. The results indicated that the differential pulse response of methimazole was linear with its concentration in the range of 1.0×10(-7) to 2.0×10(-5)mol/L with a linear coefficient of 0.998, and in the range of 4.0×10(-5) to 3.0×10(-4)mol/L with a linear coefficient of 0.993. The detection limit was 2.0×10(-8)mol/L (S/N=3). The film electrode was used to detect the content of methimazole in rat serum samples by the standard addition method with satisfactory results.

Enhanced electrochemical activity of redox-labels in multi-layered protein films on indium tin oxide nanoparticle-based electrode

Facile electrical communication between redox-active labeling molecules and electrode is essential in the electrochemical detection of bio-affinity reactions. In this report, nanometer-sized indium tin oxide (ITO) particles were employed in the fabrication of porous thick film electrodes to enhance the otherwise impeded electrochemical activity of redox labels in multi-layered protein films, and to enable quantitative detection of avidin/biotin binding interaction. To carry out the affinity reaction, avidin immobilized on an ITO electrode was reacted with mouse IgG labeled with both biotin and ruthenium Tris-(2,2′-bipyridine) (Ru-bipy). The binding reaction between avidin and biotin was detected by the catalytic voltammetry of Ru-bipy in an oxalate-containing electrolyte. On sputtered ITO thin film electrode, although a single layer of Ru-bipy labeled avidin exhibited substantial anodic current, attaching the label to the outer IgG layer of the avidin/biotin-IgG binding pair resulted in almost complete loss of the signal. However, electrochemical current was recovered on ITO film electrodes prepared from nanometer-sized particles. The surface of the nanoparticle structured electrode was found by scanning electron microscopy to be very porous, and had twice as much surface binding capacity for avidin as the sputtered electrode. The results were rationalized by the assumption of different packing density of avidin inner layer on the two surfaces, and consequently different electron transfer distance between the electrode and Ru-bipy on the IgG outer layer. A linear relationship between electrochemical current and IgG concentration was obtained in the range of 40-4000 nmol L⁻¹ on the nanoparticle-based electrode. The approach can be employed in the electrochemical detection of immunoassays using non-enzymatic redox labels.

Electrochemical Properties of Lanthanum Hexacyanoferrate Particles Immobilized onto Electrode Surface by Au‐Codeposition Method

Lanthanum hexacyanoferrate (LaHCF) was immobilized onto a substrate surface as an electroactive material by Au‐codeposition method. The LaHCF particles were attached to the electrode surface as the result of occlusion within the gold film deposited. This deposition method was first introduced for the preparation of hexacyanoferrate‐based modified electrodes. It was demonstrated that this deposition method provides a higher stability of the electroactive film in comparison with available methods for the mechanical attachment of electroactive films. On the other hand, electrochemical properties of the LaHCF film modified electrode were studied for the first time. The results showed that LaHCF film has excellent electrochemical activity as well as other analogues of Prussian blue. The modified electrode was successfully used as an electrocatalyst for the oxidation of ascorbic acid.
