碳毡电极的表面改性——Ⅱ.碳毡表面HNO_3化学改性对电极性能影响

对碳毡表面HNO_3化学改性引起电极性能的变化进行较详细研究。物理分析数据表明,由于HNO_3氧化处理,碳毡表面亲水性含氧官能团含量增加及HNO_3分子易嵌入并吸引高温碳毡石墨层状结构中的电子使空穴增多,电极表面浸润性和导电性明显提高。碳毡比表面也因HNO_3腐蚀作用有所增加。另外,循环伏安分析结果指出,在表面改性电极上Cr~(3+)/Cr~(2+)及Fe~(3+)/Fe~(2+)反应电化学活性增强,不仅峰值电流I_(pa)、I_(pa)随HNO_3氧化时间增长明显加大,而且峰电位差△Ep(=E_(pa)-E_(pc))变小,反应更趋可逆。还因为催化剂Pb沉积量增加而提高了其催化活性,经HNO_3氧化处理后的碳毡表面更利于Cr~(3+)/Cr_(2+)反应进行,其I_(pa)、I_(pc)值的增加明显高于Fe~(3+)/Fe~(2+)反应。     

采用优化的DFTB参数对铜(111)表面碳二聚化的分子动力学研究

针对铜表面化学反应,我们发展了一套铜-碳体系的密度泛函紧束缚(DFTB)参数。测试结果表明这套参数可以很好的描述吸附铜或碳原子前后铜表面的几何结构和能量。基于这套参数,我们对Cu(111)表面的碳二聚化过程进行了分子模拟研究。即使在高温下,直接的分子动力学模拟也很难观察到碳二聚体的形成。这是因为高温下铜表面显著的结构弛豫一定程度上阻止了二聚化。为了研究高温下铜表面碳二聚化的机理,我们进行了赝动力学模拟。发现在二聚化的过程中,碳原子形成C-Cu-C桥状结构以后,会绕中间Cu原子转动,最后形成碳二聚体。1300 K下碳二聚化的自由能垒约0.9 eV。

Electrochemically Stimulated Insulin Release from a Modified Graphene‐functionalized Carbon Fiber Electrode

A graphene‐functionalized carbon fiber electrode was modified with adsorbed polyethylenimine to introduce amino functionalities and then with trigonelline and 4‐carboxyphenylboronic acid covalently bound to the amino groups. The trigonelline species containing quarterized pyridine groups produced positive charge on the electrode surface regardless of the pH value, while the phenylboronic acid species were neutral below pH 8 and negatively charged above pH 9 (note that their pK_a=8.4). The total charge on the monolayer‐modified electrode was positive at the neutral pH and negative at pH > 9. Note that 4‐carboxyphenylboronic acid was attached to the electrode surface in molar excess to trigonelline, thus allowing the negative charge to dominate on the electrode surface at basic pH. Negatively charged fluorescent dye‐labeled insulin (insulin‐FITC) was loaded on the modified electrode surface at pH 7.0 due to its electrostatic attraction to the positively charged interface. The local pH in close vicinity to the electrode surface was increased to ca. 9–10 due to consumption of H⁺ ions upon electrochemical reduction of oxygen proceeding at the potential of −1.0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) applied on the modified electrode. The process resulted in recharging of the electrode surface to the negative value due to the formation of the negative charge on the phenylboronic acid groups, thus resulting in the electrostatic repulsion of insulin‐FITC and stimulating its release from the electrode surface. The insulin release was characterized by fluorescence spectroscopy (using the FITC‐labeled insulin), by electrochemical measurements on an iridium oxide, IrO_x, electrode and by mass spectrometry. The graphene‐functionalized carbon fiber electrode demonstrated significant advantages in the signal‐stimulated insulin release comparing with the carbon fiber electrode without the graphene species.     

Imaging Local Proton Fluxes through a Polycarbonate Membrane by Using Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy and Functionalized Alkanethiols

A new application of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to probe the transport of protons through membranes is described. Herein, a probe ultramicroelectrode (UME) is modified with a self‐assembled monolayer (SAM) of 11‐mercaptoundecanoic acid to qualitatively image areas within different pH regions above a track‐etched membrane. The current response of the modified electrode in the presence of potassium hexacyanoferrate as electroactive component is different in acidic and alkaline solutions. Depending on the pH value of the solution, the SAM‐covered electrode exposes either a neutral or a negatively charged insulating monolayer at pH 3 or 7, respectively, which leads to an increase/decrease in the faradaic current due to electrostatic interactions between the neutral/charged surface and the charged redox mediator. Therefore, local pH changes in the close vicinity of a membrane‐like substrate lead to different current responses recorded at the tip electrode when scanning above the surface.     

Controlling the charge of pH-responsive redox hydrogels by means of redox-silent biocatalytic processes. A biocatalytic off/on switch

Coupling of redox-silent biocatalytic processes for analyte detection with enzyme-catalyzed redox reactions for signal generation is proposed by the modulation of electrostatic interactions between a pH-responsive polymer and a redox enzyme to control the off–on transition for electrochemical signal generation. Glassy carbon electrodes are modified with a poly(vinyl)imidazole Os(bipyridine)₂Cl redox hydrogel film entrapping urease and PQQ-dependent glucose dehydrogenase, while glucose is present in the solution. The off–on transition is based on the detection of urea as model analyte which is hydrolyzed to ammonia by urease within the hydrogel film concomitantly increasing the local pH value thus invoking deprotonation of the imidazole groups at the polymer backbone. The decrease of positive charges at the polymer decreases electrostatic repulsion between the polymer and the positively charged PQQ-dependent glucose dehydrogenase. Hence, electron transfer rates between polymer-bound Os complexes and PQQ inside the enzyme are enhanced activating electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose. This process generates the electrochemical signal for urea detection.     

Electrochemically‐controlled DNA Release under Physiological Conditions from a Monolayer‐modified Electrode

An indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode prepared on a flexible polymeric support was modified with an amino‐silane and then functionalized with trigonelline and 4‐carboxyphenylboronic acid covalently bound to the amino groups. The trigonelline species containing quarterized ammonium group produced positive charge on the electrode surface regardless of the pH value, while the phenylboronic acid species were neutral below pH 8 and negatively charged above pH 9 (note that their pK_a=8.4). The total charge on the monolayer‐modified electrode was positive at the neutral pH and negative at pH>9 (note that 4‐carboxyphenylboronic acid was attached to the electrode surface in excess to trigonelline, thus allowing the negative charge to dominate on the electrode surface at basic pH). Single‐stranded DNA molecules were loaded on the modified electrode at pH 7.0 due to their electrostatic attraction to the positively charged surface. By applying electrolysis at −1.0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl reference) electrochemical oxygen reduction resulted in the consumption of hydrogen ions and local pH increase in the vicinity of the electrode surface. The process resulted in the transition to the total negative charge due to the negative charges formed on the phenylboronic acid species. This resulted in the electrostatic repulsion and release of the loaded DNA. The developed approach allowed the electrochemically‐triggered DNA release not only in the aqueous solutions, but also in human serum solution, thus giving promise for future biomedical applications.

Amperometric hydrogen peroxide biosensor based on a glassy carbon electrode modified with polythionine and gold nanoparticles

We report on a novel hydrogen peroxide biosensor that was fabricated by the layer-by-layer deposition method. Thionine was first deposited on a glassy carbon electrode by two-step electropolymerization to form a positively charged surface. The negatively charged gold nanoparticles and positively charged horseradish peroxidase were then immobilized onto the electrode via electrostatic adsorption. The sequential deposition process was characterized using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy by monitoring the impedance change of the electrode surface during the construction process. The electrochemical behaviour of the modified electrode and its response to hydrogen peroxide were studied by cyclic voltammetry. The effects of the experimental variables on the amperometric determination of H₂O₂ such as solution pH and applied potential were investigated for optimum analytical performance. Under the optimized conditions, the biosensor exhibited linear response to H₂O₂ in the concentration ranges from 0.20 to 1.6?mM and 1.6 to 4.0?mM, with a detection limit of 0.067?mM (at an S/N of 3). In addition, the stability and reproducibility of this biosensor was also evaluated and gave satisfactory results.

Electrochemical studies of derivatized thiol self-assembled monolayers on gold electrode in the presence of surfactants.

Electrochemical impendence spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were performed to investigate the barrier properties and electron transfer of derivatized thiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold in the presence of surfactants. The thiol derivatives used included 2-mercaptoethanesulfonic acid (MES), 2-mercaptoacetic acid (MAA), and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC). A simple equivalent circuit was derived to fit the impedance spectra very well. The negative redox probe [Fe(CN)6](3-/4-) was selected to indicate the electron-transfer efficiency on the interface of the studied electrodes. It was found that by changing the surface structure of SAMs, different surfactants could regulate the barrier properties and electron-transfer efficiency in different ways. A positively charged surfactant lowered the electrostatic repulsion between the negative redox probe and negatively charged surface groups of a monolayer, while enhancing the reversibility of electron transfer by virtue of increasing the redox probe concentration within the electric double-layer region. A neutral surfactant showed no significant effect, while a negative surfactant hindered the access and reaction of redox probe by electrostatic repulsion of same-sign charges.     

Modified platinum electrode with phytic acid and single-walled carbon nanotube: Application to the selective determination of dopamine in the presence of ascorbic and uric acids

A platinum (Pt) electrode modified by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and phytic acid (PA) was investigated by voltammetric methods in buffer solution. The PA-SWNTs/Pt-modified electrode demonstrated substantial enhancements in electrochemical sensitivity and selectivity towards dopamine (DA) in the presence of L-ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA). The PA-SWNTs films promoted the electron transfer reaction of DA, while the PA film, acting as a negatively charged linker, combined with the positively charged DA to induced DA accumulation in the film at pH under 7.4. However, the PA film restrained the electrochemical response of the negatively charged AA due to the electrostatic repulsion. The anodic peak potentials of DA, AA and UA could be separated by electrochemical techniques, and the interferences from AA and UA were effectively eliminated in the DA determination. Linear calibration plots were obtained in the DA concentration range of 0.2-10 μM and the detection limit of the DA oxidation current was determined to be 0.08 μM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The results indicated that the modified electrode can be used to determine DA without interference from AA and UA, while ensuring good sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility.
