Copper(II) ion sensor based on electropolymerized undoped conducting polymers

A solid state copper(II) ion sensor is reported based on the application of electropolymerized undoped (neutral) polycarbazole (PCz) and polyindole (PIn) modified electrodes. The new sensor shows high selectivity to Cu²⁺ ions with a detection limit of 10^–5 M. PCz and PIn are formed respectively by the anodic oxidation of 50 mM carbazole and 5 mM indole monomers in dichloromethane containing 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium perchlorate on a platinum electrode using a single compartment cell. Potentiostatic polymerization of both the monomers are carried out at 1.3 V and 1.0 V vs. Ag/AgCl, respectively. Perchlorate ions were electrochemically removed from the polymer films by applying – 0.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl. Polymer-coated electrodes are incubated in 1 M KCl solution for 8 h followed by incubation in distilled water for 2 h before using as a metal ion sensor. The undoped PCz and PIn electrodes were found to be highly selective and sensitive for Cu²⁺ ions with little selectivity for Pb²⁺ and negligible response towards Ag⁺, Hg²⁺, Cu⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺ or Zn²⁺. Potentiometric responses for Cu²⁺ ions are recorded for both the sensor electrodes together with a double-junction Ag/AgCl reference electrode. Calibration curves for Cu²⁺ are reported for both ion sensors. The polymer-modified electrodes were found to be stable for several weeks. Electronic Publication     

5,10,15-Tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole as highly selective neutral carrier for a silver ion-sensitive electrode

A new highly selective silver(I) electrode was prepared with a PVC membrane using 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole as an electroactive material, 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether (o-NPOE) as a plasticizer and sodium tetraphenylborate (NaTPB) as an additive in the percentage ratio of 3:3:62:32 (corrole:NaTPB:o-NPOE:PVC, w:w). The electrode exhibited linear response with a near Nernstian slope of 54.8 mV/decade within the concentration range of 5.1 × 10⁻⁶ to 1.0 × 10⁻¹ M silver ions, with a working pH range from 4.0 to 8.0, and a fast response time of <30 s. Selectivity coefficients for Ag(I) relative to a number of interfering ions were investigated. The electrode is highly selective for Ag(I) ions over a large number of mono-, bi-, and tri-valent cations. Common interferents like Hg²⁺ and Cd²⁺ show very low interfering effect on the silver assay, which is valuable property of the proposed electrode. Several electroactive materials and solvent mediators have been compared and the experimental conditions were optimized. The sensor was applied to the determination of silver in real ore samples with satisfied results.

Monitoring formation of poly(neutral red) film by EQCM

An electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) is employed for monitoring the growth of poly(neutral red) films on platinum in the electrolytic solution containing 5.0 mmol dm⁻³ neutral red, 0.3 mol dm⁻³ H₂SO₄, and 0.5 mol dm⁻³ Na₂SO₄. The in situ measurement of the frequency changes of the EQCM reveals that both the adsorption/desorption of neutral red and the formation of poly(neutral red) film can be observed together with anion sorption/desorption during the redox transformation of the polymer, and that the polymerization rate of neutral red increases slowly before the 11th cycle and then increases quickly with increasing number of potential cycles.

Lable‐Free Electrochemical DNA Sensor Based on Gold Nanoparticles/Poly(neutral red) Modified Electrode

We present a new strategy for the label‐free electrochemical detection of DNA hybridization based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)/poly(neutral red) (PNR) modified electrode. Probe oligonucledotides with thiol groups at the 5‐end were covalently linked onto the surface of AuNPs/PNR modified electrode via S‐Au binding. The hybridization event was monitored by using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) upon hybridization generates electrochemical changes at the PNR‐solution interface. A significant decrease in the peak current was observed upon hybridization of probe with complementary target ssDNA, whereas no obvious change was observed with noncomplementary target ssDNA. And the DNA sensor also showed a high selectivity for detecting one‐mismatched and three‐mismatched target ssDNA and a high sensitivity for detecting complementary target ssDNA, the detection limit is 4.2×10^?12 M for complementary target ssDNA. In addition, the DNA biosensor showed an excellent reproducibility and stability under the DNA‐hybridization conditions.     

Poly(neutral red): Electrosynthesis,Characterization, and Application as a Redox Mediator

The synthesis by electropolymerization, the characterization, and applications of poly(neutral red) (PNR), including as a redox mediator, are reviewed. PNR's high electrical conductivity and its redox characteristics have led to special applications of the polymer, and it has been used for the development of electrochemical and optical sensors.

Raman spectroelectrochemical study of electrode processes at Neutral red- and poly(Neutral red) modified electrodes

The redox dye Neutral red (NR), adsorbed and electropolymerized at a roughened gold electrode, has been studied by Raman spectroscopy at λ_ex of 676.4 nm in an electrochemical cell. Spectral bands have been assigned based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The number and position of the bands, as well as their intensity depend on electrode potential, allowing one to discern different redox forms of NR or its polymer. The observed changes in band positions and intensities have been analyzed. Electrooxidation of hydroquinone and ascorbic acid at a gold electrode modified with adsorbed or electropolymerized layer of NR has been studied with in situ Raman spectroelectrochemical technique. During electrooxidation of solution species, NR layer contains both oxidized and reduced forms of this modifier. It has been shown that the relative content of a reduced form of NR at electrode surface increases with increasing concentration of any of oxidizable species used. It has been concluded that anodic oxidation of ascorbic acid or hydroquinone at NR or polyNR modified electrode proceeds within the modifier layer rather than at a modifier/electrolyte interface. In this respect, electrooxidation follows a redox mechanism.

Stripping voltammetric detection of mercury(II) based on a surface ion imprinting strategy in electropolymerized microporous poly(2-mercaptobenzothiazole) films modified glassy carbon electrode

This work reports a surface ion imprinting strategy in electropolymerized microporous poly(2-mercaptobenzothiazole) (MPMBT) films at the surface of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the electrochemical detection of Hg(II). The Hg(II)-imprinted MPMBT/GCE exhibits larger binding to functionalized capacity, faster binding kinetics and higher selectivity to template Hg(II) due to their high ratio of surface-imprinted sites, larger surface-to-volume ratios, the complete removal of Hg(II) templates and larger affinity to Hg(II). The square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SW ASV) response of the Hg(II)-imprinted MPMBT/GCE to Hg(II) is ca. 3.0 and 5.9 times larger than that at the direct imprinted poly(2-mercaptobenzothiazole) modified GCE and non-imprinted MPMBT/GCE sensor, respectively; and the detection limit for Hg(II) is 0.1 nM (which is well below the guideline value given by the World Health Organization). Excellent wide linear range (1.0–160.0 nM) and good repeatability (relative standard deviation of 2.5%) were obtained for Hg(II). The interference experiments showed that mercury signal was not interfered in the presence of Pb(II), Cd(II), Zn(II), Cu(II) and Ag(I), respectively. These values, particularly the high sensitivity and excellent selectivity compared favorably with previously reported methods in the area of electrochemical Hg(II) detection, demonstrate the feasibility of using the prepared Hg(II)-imprinted MPMBT/GCE for efficient determination of Hg(II) in aqueous environmental samples.

A simple one-step electrosynthesis of poly(pyrrole-sulfated β-cyclodextrin) films

A functionalized stable film of poly(pyrrole-sulfated β-cyclodextrin) has been obtained electrochemically in LiClO₄ aqueous solution using a simple 1:1 mixture of pyrrole (Py) monomer and sulfated β-cyclodextrin (SβCD). Different cyclic voltammetric behavior is obtained for polypyrrole (PPy) and poly(Py-βSCD) during electrosynthesis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) measurements on the two films have confirmed the presence of CD in the films and show that CD preferentially dopes the polymer even in the presence of a large excess of perchlorate supporting electrolyte. The morphology of the new polymers shows a more organized system under SEM examination. Contrary to conventional PPy films, this new polymer offers a wide potential range for electroanalytical exploration from selective electrodes to preconcentration/sampling devices.

Capacitive sensors using electropolymerized o-phenylenediamine film doped with ion-pair complex as selective elements for the determination of pentoxyverine

A capacitive sensing method based on electropolymerized o-phenylenediamine film doped with pentoxyverine ion-pair complex as selective element was successfully developed for the determination of pentoxyverine. Ion-pair complex, pentoxyverine-tetraphenylborate or pentoxyverine-picrolonate, was embedded in electropolymerized o-phenylenediamine film by electropolymerizing technique. The effects of working frequency and test solution pH on the detection of pentoxyverine were investigated in detail and optimized. For the sensor modified with pentoxyverine-tetraphenylborate, calibration curve was linear over the concentration range of 5.0×10⁻⁷ to 1.0×10⁻⁴ M with a detection limit of 1.0×10⁻⁷ M at pH 7. The proposed sensor exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity to pentoxyverine. The results in sample analysis confirmed the usefulness of the proposed ISC sensor for quantitative analysis, and also indicated that this method might find applications in the assay of other drugs.     

Electrochemical Aptasensor Based on Poly(Neutral Red) and Carboxylated Pillar[5]arene for Sensitive Determination of Aflatoxin M1

Aptasensor for highly sensitive determination of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) was developed on the base of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) covered with polymeric Neutral red (NR) dye obtained by electropolymerization in the presence of polycarboxylated pillar[5]arene derivative. Aptamer against AFM1 and NR label were then covalently linked to the carboxylic groups of the carrier by carbodiimide binding. At presence of AFM1 the cathodic peak current related to the NR conversion decreases. AFM1 induced also an increase of the charge transfer resistance measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In optimal conditions, this make it possible to determine from 5 to 120 ng/L AFM1 in standard solutions with limit of detection (LOD) of 0.5 ng/L. The aptasensor was validated on the spiked samples of cow and sheep milk as well as in kefir after their methanol dilution. Reliable detection of the 40–160 ng/kg of mycotoxins was reached. This is below limited threshold value (50 μg/kg) established in EC.

Characterisation of poly(neutral red) modified carbon film electrodes; application as a redox mediator for biosensors

The polymer redox mediator, poly(neutral red) (PNR), has been synthesised and characterised electrochemically to investigate the best electropolymerisation and mediation conditions for application in enzyme biosensors and to clarify the mechanism of action. Neutral red was electropolymerised by potential cycling on carbon film electrode substrates by allowing the monomer to be oxidised during the full 20 cycles of polymerisation or reducing the positive limit of the potential window after the first 2 cycles to impede monomer oxidation with a view to obtaining longer polymer chains and a lesser degree of branching. Comparison was made with glassy carbon substrates. The PNR films on carbon film electrodes were characterised using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, as well as in glucose biosensors prepared with PNR. Glucose oxidase enzyme was immobilised by encapsulation in silica sol-gel and compared with that obtained by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The biosensors were evaluated by chronoamperometry in 0.1 M phosphate buffer saline solution, pH 7.0, and showed evidence of electron transfer between the enzyme cofactor flavin adenine dinucleotide and PNR dissolved in the enzyme layer competing with PNR-mediated electrochemical degradation of H₂O₂ formed during the enzymatic process. This paper is dedicated to Professor Dr. Algirdas Vaskelis on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
