Voltammetric determination of cadmium(II) using a chemically modified electrode

An 1-(pyridylazo)-2-naphthol modified glassy carbon electrode has been investigated as sensor for the measurement of trace levels of Cd²⁺. Cd²⁺ is deposited on the surface of a PAN modified glassy carbon electrode at –1.10 V (vs. SCE) via forming Cd²⁺–PAN and subsequent reduction at the electrode. In the following step, Cd-PAN is oxidized, and voltammograms are recorded by scanning the potential in a positive direction. Calibration plots were found to be linear in the range 2 × 10^–8 mol/L to 8 × 10^–7 mol/L. The detection limit was 5 × 10^–10 mol/L, and the coefficient of variation, determined on one single electrode at a concentration of 5 × 10^–7 mol/L, was calculated to be 3.2% (n = 5). Using this new kind of modified electrode, trace levels of Cd(II) in water samples were determined; the average recovery was calculated to be 98.78%.

Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetric determination of traces of copper with a tobramycin-Nafion modified electrode.

A Nafion-modified glassy carbon electrode incorporated with tobramycin for the voltammetric stripping determination of Cu2+ has been explored. The electrode was fabricated by tobramycin containing Nafion on the glassy carbon electrode surface. The modified electrode exhibited a significantly increased sensitivity and selectivity for Cu2+ compared with a bare glassy carbon electrode and the Nafion modified electrode. Cu2+ was accumulated in HAc-NaAc buffer (pH 4.6) at a potential of -0.6 V (vs. SCE) for 300 s and then determined by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. The effects of various parameters, such as the mass of Nafion, the concentration of tobramycin, the pH of the medium, the accumulation potential, the accumulation time and the scan rate, were investigated. Under the optimum conditions, a linear calibration graph was obtained in the concentration range of 1.0 x 10(-9) to 5.0 x 10(-7) mol l(-1) with a correlation coefficient of 0.9971. The relative standard deviations for eight successive determinations were 4.3 and 2.9% for 1.0 x 10(-8) and 2.0 x 10(-7) mol l(-1) Cu2+, respectively. The detection limit (three times signal to noise) was 5.0 x 10(-10) mol l(-1). A study of interfering substances was also performed, and the method was applied to the direct determination of copper in water samples, and also in analytical reagent-grade salts with satisfactory results.

A rapid and sensitive method was developed to determine trace levels of Cd2+ ions in an aqueous medium by flame atomic absorption spectrometry, using on-line preconcentration in a mini-column packed with 100 mg of 2-aminothiazol modified silica gel (SiAT). The Cd2+ ions were sorbed at pH 5.0.

In this work, multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were conveniently dispersed into Nafion-ethanol solution, and the MWNT-Nafion-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was described for the simultaneous determination of 2-nitrophenol and 4-nitrophenol.

A chemically modified electrode is constructed based on the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)/4-aminobenzeresulfonic acid (4-ABSA) film-coated glassy carbon electrode. The electrocatalytic oxidation of tyrosine (Tyr) is investigated on the surface of the MWNTs/4-ABSA-modified electrode using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The prepared modified electrode shows voltammetric responses with high sensitivity and selectivity for Tyr in optimal conditions, which makes it very suitable for sub-micromolar detection of Tyr. A sensitive oxidation peak at +0.64 V is employed to determine Tyr. Good linear relationship between the oxidation peak current and the Tyr concentration in the range of 1 × 10⁻⁷ to 5 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L is obtained in phosphate buffer solution with pH 7.0. By use of modified electrode, the voltammetric detection limit for Tyr in DPV measurements is 8 × 10⁻⁸ mol/L (S/N = 3). Good sensitivity, selectivity and stability of the low-cost modified electrode make it very suitable for the determination of trace amounts of Tyr in pharmaceutical and clinical preparations.

Study of carbon nanotubes-HRP modified electrode and its application for novel on-line biosensors

In this paper, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were successfully immobilized on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode by mixing with horse-radish peroxidase (HRP). The electrochemical behavior of H2O2 was also studied with the MWCNTs-HRP modified electrode as a working electrode. The MWCNTs-HRP modified electrode showed excellent response of reduction current for the determination of H2O2 at the potential of -300 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl). We assembled the MWCNTs-HRP modified electrode in a thin-layer flow cell and the H2O2 solution was continuously introduced into the cell with a syringe pump. We optimized the sensitivity of the H2O2 sensor by adjusting the working potential and the pH of the buffer solution. The peak current increased linearly with the concentration of H2O2 in the range 3.0 x 10(-7) to approximately 2.0 x 10(-4) mol L(-1). The detection limit is 1.0 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) (S/N = 3). The interferences from ascorbic acid, uric acid and other electroactive substances can be greatly excluded since the sensor can be operated at -300 mV. Stability and reproducibility of the MWCNTs-HRP chemically modified electrode were also studied in this paper. Fabricated with glucose and lactate oxidase, the MWCNTs-HRP electrode was also applied to prepare the on-line glucose and lactate biosensors because of the high sensitivity for the determination of H2O2.
