Electrocatalytic Activation of Silver Nanowires‐modified Pt Electrode by Cyclic Voltammetry in Comparison with Differential Pulse Voltammetry in Halide Determination

Cyclic voltammetric (CV) and differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) measurements were carried out to assess the changes in electrode reactivity in halide determination with a silver nanowire‐modified platinum electrode. With DPV, successive voltammograms of the halide solution revealed progressive deterioration of the oxidation currents corresponding to Br^? and Cl^?, while those of I^? increased largely. Comparatively, CV is stable and effective to remove precipitates due to the reduction process, in which, the concentrated effect alleviated and the amount of AgI decreased. CV was consequently suggested to be favorable for halide determination, while playing a role in electrocatalytic activation of the electrode.

Oligonucleotide Functionalized Microporous Gold Electrode for the Selective and Sensitive Determination of Mercury by Differential Pulse Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetry (DPAdSV)

Abstract

A novel electrode modified with oligonucleotide and microporous gold was fabricated for the determination of mercury by differential pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetry (DPAdSV). Microporous gold was synthesized by electrochemical reduction using dynamic hydrogen bubble template. The oligonucleotide was immobilized on microporous gold by self-assembly. The prepared electrode exhibited an improved electrochemical response for mercury(II) ion because of the large surface area and excellent electron transfer capacity provided by microporous gold and the specific coordination between mercury ion and thymine bases in oligonucleotides. Under the optimal experiment conditions, the oligonucleotide functionalized microporous gold electrode had a linear relationship between the stripping current and mercury ion concentration in the range from 0.5 to 30?µg/L with a detection limit of 0.021?µg/L. Moreover, the prepared electrode exhibited good selectivity, reproducibility, repeatability and stability. Furthermore, the prepared electrode was applied to detect mercury in tap water with satisfactory results.

Control of the Fluorescence of DNA‐templated Silver Nanoclusters by Adenosine Triphosphate and Mercury(II)

Several DNA templates with the sequence 5′‐T _n TAACCCCTAACCCCT ‐3′ (n = 0, 15, 30, and 45) were used to prepare DNA template–silver nanoclusters (DNA –Ag NCs ). The T _n sequence acts as a recognition element for Hg²⁺, while the rest of the sequence acts as a template for DNA –Ag NCs . At pH 3.0, the fluorescence intensity of DNA –Ag NCs is enhanced by ATP , and the enhanced fluorescence is quenched by Hg²⁺. The length of polyT shows a slight effect on the sensitivity for the detection of Hg²⁺ but almost no effect on the optical properties of DNA –Ag NCs . The fluorescence response of DNA –Ag NCs (T₁₅‐DNA –Ag NCs ) vs. Hg²⁺ concentration shows two linear ranges over 10–100 and 100–1000 nM , mainly because of the fluorescence quenching due to DNA conformational changes through T–Hg²⁺–T coordination and the formation of an amalgam with Ag NCs , respectively. The sensitivity of the T₁₅‐DNA –Ag NC probe was validated through the analysis of Hg²⁺ in spiked pond water. Based on the switch‐on and switch‐off fluorescence properties of T₁₅‐DNA –Ag NCs , an IMPLICATION logic gate was fabricated using the concentrations of ATP and Hg²⁺ as inputs and the fluorescence intensity at 585 nm as output.     

The Application of a Fast Pulse Atom Reservoir to the Determination of Mercury

Abstract

A system is described for the non-flame atomisation of mercury, using sample heating pulses of a few microseconds duration. The rapid sample atomisation thus obtained leads to good analytical sensitivity; it also provides a technique for distinguishing between, and separately measuring, inorganic and organically-bound mercury.     

Determination of Nanomolar Levels of Mercury(II) by Exploiting the Silver Stain Enhancement of the Aggregation of Aptamer-Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles

An ultrasensitive method for the determination of mercury(II) ions was developed based on mercury(II)-induced strong and selective binding of thymine-thymine mismatches between aptamers on gold nanoparticles and a signal amplification effect caused by a silver stain. The gold nanoparticles were first coated with a single-stranded DNA aptamer rich in thymine. In the presence of mercury(II), the functionalized gold nanoparticles aggregated due to the formation of thymine-Hg(II)-thymine complexes resulting in a largely reduced surface area of the gold nanoparticles when exposed to silver ions during staining. Therefore, fewer silver ions were reduced, and the average grey values, as measured by a scanner, were lower. The average grey values were linearly related to the logarithm of mercury(II) concentration from 1 to 500 nM. In addition, there were no significant interferences by common metal ions due to the high specificity of the interaction between mercury(II) and the aptamer. The method offers high sensitivity, good selectivity, and the absence of large equipment that makes it suitable for field analysis.

Simultaneous Determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) by Differential Pulse Voltammetry Using Modified Screen‐Printed Carbon Electrodes in Array Mode

A new procedure for the speciation of chromium by means of differential pulse voltammetry using screen‐printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) has been proposed. Two different modified carbon working, a Ag/AgCl reference and a carbon counter screen‐printed electrodes have been connected in array mode for the simultaneous determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI). Mercury films or gold nanoparticles have been ground onto the SPCEs in order to improve their selectivity to each chromium species. The quantification of the peak currents observed at ?1.25 V in Hg‐SPCE and ?0.1 V in AuNPs‐SPCE were carried out. The method has been applied to the speciation of chromium in waste water from a tannery factory.     

Palladium Particles‐Impregnated Natural Phosphate Electrodes for Electrochemical Determination of Mercury in Ambient Water Samples

We present here a simple procedure for the determination of mercury(II) using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) at palladium particles‐impregnated natural phosphate modified carbon paste electrodes (Pd‐NP‐CPE). The surface of modified electrode was characterized using SEM, infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction and electrochemical analysis. All experimental variables involved in the voltammetric stripping method were optimized. The detection limit was found to be 4.99×10^?8 mol L^?1 (S/N=3) that is not different to the permitted value for Hg(II) in water reported by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The proposed electrode exhibits good applicability for monitoring Hg(II) in tap and wastewater.

Voltammetric Determination of Azidothymidine Using Silver Solid Amalgam Electrodes

A new simple and direct electroanalytical method was developed for the determination of azidothymidine in commercial pharmaceutical preparations. It is based on differential pulse voltammetry at silver solid amalgam electrode with polished surface (p‐AgSAE) or surface modified by mercury meniscus (m‐AgSAE). The electroreduction of azidothymidine in basic media at these electrodes gives rise to one irreversible cathodic peak. Its potential in 0.05 mol L^?1 borate buffer, pH 9.3 at ca. ?1050 mV is comparable to that using hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). Achieved limits of quantitation are in the 10^?7 mol L^?1 concentration range for both amalgam electrodes. According to the procedure based on the standard addition technique, the recoveries of known amounts of azidothymidine contained in pharmaceutical preparations available in capsules were 101.4±1.8% (m‐AgSAE), 100.3±3.5% (p‐AgSAE) and 102.0±1.0% (HMDE) (n=10). There was no significant difference between the values gained by proposed voltammetric methods and the HPLC‐UV recommended by the United States Pharmacopoeia regarding the mean values and standard deviations.     

Normal Pulse Voltammetric Determination of Subnanomolar Concentrations of Chromium(VI) with Continuous Wavelet Transformation

The renewable mercury film‐modified silver solid amalgam annular band electrode (MF‐AgSAE) applied for quantitative determination of sub‐nanomolar concentrations of Cr(VI) using differential pulse (DP) and normal pulse (NP) catalytic adsorptive striping voltammetry (CAdSV) is presented. In this context a signal processing algorithm is described and applied for the transformation of sigmoidal shaped NP curves to peak shaped curves. The method utilizes continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and a specially constructed mother wavelet defined using the ideal wave‐shaped curve. It simplifies the interpretation of sigmoidal curves. In the effect the new strategy of Cr(VI) determination is 10 times more sensitive than differential pulse and square‐wave techniques. The reproducibility is below 3–5 % (n=3) for the 0.2–2.2 nM concentration range of Cr(VI). The detection limit for 30 s preconcentration is equal to 0.05 nM with sensitivity of 0.809±0.012 µA nM^?1 and is limited by the purity of the used reagents. The correlation coefficient is equal to 0.9993. For 2 nM of Cr(VI), in the tested range, 0≤t_acc≤60 s, the relation wave height? accumulation time (I_w–t_acc) is linear. The operation and effectiveness of the proposed procedures was confirmed by the quantitative determination of Cr(VI) in supporting electrolyte and CRM (surface water samples and urine) with known amounts of the analyte. The obtained results show substantial improvement of the performance of NP CAdSV technique.     

Differential Pulse Voltammetric Determination of L-Cysteine After Cyclic Voltammetry in Presence of Catechol with Glassy Carbon Electrode

An electrochemical method of determination of cysteine has been developed in the solution containing catechol as the indicator. Nucleophilic addition of the thiol species to the electrogenerated o-quinone results in the formation of o-quinone-cysteine adducts that easily accumulate use at the surface of the electrode in the acidic solution. Therefore, the use of cyclic voltammetry leads to the amplification of the o-quinone-cysteine adduct's reductive current. As cyclic voltammetry was performed prior to differential pulse voltammetry, the peak of o-quinone-cysteine could be separated preferentially from o-quinone in the differential pulse voltammogram and the selectivity of the method has been assessed with no interference from ascorbic acid, glycine, L-tyrosine, or L-lysine. The magnitude of o-quinone-cysteine peak is proportional to the concentration of cysteine, and thus it can be exploited to determine cysteine within the injection. The results were consistent with those obtained by means of HPLC analysis.     

A Simple and Highly Sensitive Electrochemically Reduced p‐Nitrobenzoic Acid Film Modified Sensor for Determination of Mercury

Herein, a simple electrochemical sensor was fabricated for sensing Hg²⁺ ions by using electrochemically reduced p‐nitrobenzoic acid molecules modified (ERpNBA) glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The modified electrode was applied for the determination of Hg²⁺ ions by using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). Experimental parameters such as concentration of p‐nitrobenzoic acid used for electrode modification, pH, accumulation time and deposition potential used for the determination of Hg²⁺ ions were optimized. The strong interaction between the Hg²⁺ ions and the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atoms of ERpNBA molecules leads to highly selective adsorption of Hg²⁺ ions on the modified electrode. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the sensor showed higher sensitivity and very low detection limit for Hg²⁺ ions than other metal ions such as Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions. The LOD for Hg²⁺ ions was 240 pM which is below the guideline value given by the World Health Organization and the earlier reports.
