Simple and sensitive electrochemical method for the determination of metronidazole, based on a nanostructured film coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE), is described. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) was dispersed into water in the presence of a hydrophobic surfactant to give very stable and homogeneous MWNT suspension, and a MWNT-film coated GCE was achieved via evaporating solvent.

Construction of an electrochemical sensor based on the electrodeposition of Au-Pt nanoparticles mixtures on multi-walled carbon nanotubes film for voltammetric determination of cefotaxime

Mixtures of gold-platinum nanoparticles (Au-PtNPs) are fabricated consecutively on a multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by the electrodeposition method. The surface morphology and nature of the hybrid film (Au-PtNPs/MWCNT) deposited on glassy carbon electrodes is characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. The modified electrode is used as a new and sensitive electrochemical sensor for the voltammetric determination of cefotaxime (CFX). The electrochemical behavior of CFX is investigated on the surface of the modified electrode using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The results of voltammetric studies exhibited a considerable improvement in the oxidation peak current of CFX compared to glassy carbon electrodes individually coated with MWCNT or Au-PtNPs. Under the optimized conditions, the modified electrode showed a wide linear dynamic range of 0.004-10.0 μM with a detection limit of 1.0 nM for the voltammetric determination of CFX. The modified electrode was successfully applied for the accurate determination of trace amounts of CFX in pharmaceutical and clinical preparations.     

Fabrication of poly(orthanilic acid)–multiwalled carbon nanotubes composite film-modified glassy carbon electrode and its use for the simultaneous determination of uric acid and dopamine in the presence of ascorbic acid

A multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) coated with poly(orthanilic acid) (PABS) film (PABS–MWNT/GCE) has been fabricated and used for simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA) in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, and electrochemical techniques have been used to characterize the surface morphology of the PABS–MWNT composite film and the polymerization of ABS on electrode surface. In comparison with the bare GCE and the MWNT-modified GCE, the PABS–MWNT composite film-modified GCE, which combines the advantages of MWNT and the self-doped PABS, exhibits good selectivity and sensitivity for the simultaneous and selective determination of UA and DA in the presence of AA. Due to the different electrochemical responses of AA, DA, and UA, PABS–MWNT/GCE can resolve the overlapped oxidation peak of DA and UA into two well-defined voltammetric peaks with enhanced current responses using both cyclic voltammetry (CV) and DPV. The peak potential separations between DA and UA are 170 mV using CV and 160 mV using DPV, respectively, which are large enough for the selective and simultaneous determination of these species. In the presence of 0.5 mM AA, the DPV peak currents are linearly dependent on the concentration of UA and DA in the range of 6–55 and 9–48 μM with correlation coefficients of 0.997 and 0.993, respectively. The detection limits (S/N = 3) for detecting UA and DA are 0.44 and 0.21 μM, respectively. The PABS–MWNT/GCE shows good reproducibility and stability and has been used for the simultaneous determination of DA and UA in the presence of AA in samples with satisfactory results.     

Electrochemical Determination of 10-Hydroxycamptothecin Using a Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotube-Modified Electrode

We report a sensitive and convenient voltammetric method for the direct determination of 10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT). At a multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT)-modified electrode, HCPT yields a very sensitive and well-shaped oxidation peak, which can be used as analytical signal for HCPT determination. Compared with the poor electrochemical signal at the unmodified GCE, the electrochemical response of HCPT at the MWNT-modified GCE was greatly improved, as confirmed by the significant peak current enhancement. This result indicates that the MWNT-modified GCE has great potential in the sensitive determination of HCPT. Based on this, a very sensitive and simple electrochemical method was proposed for HCPT determination after all the experimental parameters were optimized. The newly-proposed method possesses very low detection limit (2 × 10⁻⁹ mol L⁻¹) and wider linear range (from 1 × 10⁻⁸ to 4 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹). Rapid and simple sample analysis is another advantage. Finally, this method was successfully demonstrated using HCPT drugs.

Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were dispersed into water in the presence of dicetyl phosphate (DCP), and MWNT-DCP composite film coated glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) were constructed. The electrochemical properties of 2-chlorophenol at a bare GCE and MWNT-DCP modified GCE were compared. It was found that MWNT-DCP modified GCEs significantly enhance the oxidation peak current of 2-chlorophenol and lowers its oxidation overpotential, suggesting great potential in the sensitive determination of 2-chlorophenol. Finally, a sensitive and simple voltammetric method was developed for the determination of 2-chlorophenol. The oxidation peak current increases linearly with the concentration in the range of 1.0 × 10⁻⁷–2.0 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹, and the detection limit is 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹ for 2 min accumulation.

Electrocatalytic Properties and Voltammetric Determination of Melatonin at a Nanostructured Film Electrode

A multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) film coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was fabricated, and the electrochemical behavior of melatonin on the MWNT film coated GCE was investigated. The oxidation peak current of melatonin increases significantly and the oxidation peak position shifts positively at the MWNT film modified GCE compared to that at a bare GCE. This indicates that MWNTs feature highly effective catalysis to the electrochemical oxidation of melatonin. A simple and sensitive electroanalytical method was developed for the determination of melatonin. The oxidation peak current is proportional to the concentration of melatonin from 8×10^–8 to 1×10^–5molL^–1. The detection limit is about 2×10^–8molL^–1 for 3min accumulation. The proposed method was demonstrated to work satisfactorily with commercial capsules.

The insoluble multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) was successfully dispersed into water in the presence of hydrophobic surfactant. After that, MWNT film-coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was achieved via dip-coating and evaporating water. Owing to huge surface area, high sorption capacity and subtle electronic properties, MWNT film exhibits highly efficient accumulation efficiency as well as considerable surface enhancement effects to Sunset Yellow and Tartrazine. As a result, the oxidation peak currents of Sunset Yellow and Tartrazine remarkably increase at the MWNT film-modified GCE. Based on this, a novel electrochemical method was developed for the simultaneous determination of Sunset Yellow and Tartrazine. The limits of detection are 10.0 ng mL⁻¹ (2.2 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹) and 0.1 μg mL⁻¹ (1.88 × 10⁻⁷ mol L⁻¹) for Sunset Yellow and Tartrazine. Finally, the proposed method was successfully used to detect Sunset Yellow and Tartrazine in soft drinks.

Study on the electrochemical behavior and differential pulse voltammetric determination of rhein using a nanoparticle composite film-modified electrode

A sensitive electrochemical method was developed for the differential pulse voltammetric determination of rhein at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with a nanoparticle composite film. In the present paper, multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) was dispersed into dihexadecyl phosphate (DHP) to give a homogeneous suspension. After the solvent evaporation, a uniform film of MWNT-DHP composite film was obtained on the GCE surface. The MWNT-DHP composite film-modified GCE exhibited excellent electrocatalytic behavior toward the redox of rhein. Compared with an irreversible reduction of rhein at the bare GCE, a reversible redox behavior of rhein was observed at the MWNT-DHP composite film-modified GCE and the redox current was also enhanced greatly. Based on this, a cathodic differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was applied for the determination of rhein. The experimental parameters, which influence the current of rhein, were optimized. Under optimal conditions, the cathodic DPV measurements were performed and a linear response of rhein was obtained in the range from 1.0 x 10(-8) to 5.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) and with a limit of detect (LOD) of 5.0 x 10(-9) mol L(-1). The proposed procedure was successfully applied to assay rhein in real samples with satisfactory results.

In this work, a multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) film-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was constructed for the determination of 8-hydroxydesoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). The electrochemical behaviors of 8-OHdG were examined using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), suggesting that MWNT film facilitates the electron transfer of 8-OHdG and then significantly enhances the oxidation peak current of 8-OHdG. Finally, a sensitive and simple electrochemical method with a good linear relationship in the range of 8.0 × 10⁻⁸ ∼ 5.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol 1⁻¹, was developed for the determination of 8-OHdG. The detection limit is 9.0 × 10⁻⁹ mol 1⁻¹ for 6-min accumulation. This newly-proposed method was successfully used to detect 8-OHdG in urine samples.
