Simultaneous Electrochemical Determination of Hydroquinone and Bisphenol A using a Carbon Paste Electrode Modified with Silver Nanoparticles

In this paper, a rapid and sensitive modified electrode for the simultaneous determination of hydroquinone (HQ) and bisphenol A (BPA) is proposed. The simultaneous determination of these two compounds is extremely important since they can coexist in the same sample and are very harmful to plants, animals and the environment in general. A carbon paste electrode (CPE) was modified with silver nanoparticles (nAg) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The PVP was used as a reducing and stabilizing agent of nAg from silver nitrate in aqueous media. The nAg‐PVP composite obtained was characterized by transmission electron microscopy and UV‐vis spectroscopy. The electrochemical behavior of HQ and BPA at the nAg‐PVP/CPE was investigated in 0.1 mol L⁻¹ B−R buffer (pH 6.0) using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). The results indicate that the electrochemical responses are improved significantly with the use of the modified electrode. The calibration curves obtained by SWV, under the optimized conditions, showed linear ranges of 0.09–2.00 μmol L⁻¹ for HQ (limit of detection 0.088 μmol L⁻¹) and 0.04–1.00 μmol L⁻¹ for BPA (limit of detection 0.025 μmol L⁻¹). The modified electrode was successfully applied in the analysis of water samples and the results were comparable to those obtained using UV‐vis spectroscopy.

Electrochemical Determination of Tyrosine in the Presence of Dopamine and Uric Acid at the Surface of Gold Nanoparticles Modified Carbon Paste Electrode

A gold nanoparticles modified carbon paste electrode (GN‐CPE) was used as a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for determination of tyrosine (Tyr), dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA) in phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The study and measurements were carried out by using cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and chronoamperometry methods. In DPV, the GN‐CPE could separate the oxidation peak potentials of DA and UA present in the same solution, though at the unmodified CPE the peak potentials were indistinguishable. The prepared electrode showed voltammetric responses with high sensitivity and selectivity for Tyr, DA and UA in optimal conditions, which makes it very suitable for simultaneous determination of these compounds. The calibration curves for Try, DA and UA were linear for the concentrations of each species. The proposed voltammetric approach was also applied to the determination of Tyr concentration in human serum as a real sample.

The linear range was between 1 and 100?µM dopamine and the limits of detection and quantification were 0.011 and 0.036?µM, respectively. The developed sensor was also applied for the quantitative determination of dopamine in injections and promising results were obtained.

This work presents for the first time the incorporation of graphene oxide/palladium nanoparticles composite into a carbon paste electrode and its application in the quantification of p-nitrophenol, a very hazardous pollutant, in a synthetic wastewater sample.

The resulting electrode presented improved shelf stability and prevented the adsorption of byproducts of p-nitrophenol on the electrode surface, which is an advantage when compared to other sensors, due to the presence of the polymer polyvinylimidazole inside the graphene oxide matrix. This work also explores the performance of the proposed sensor among other dyes which can be present simultaneously in industrial wastewater and free water bodies.

Electrochemical Reduction and Voltammetric Determination of Metronidazole Benzoate at Modified Carbon Paste Electrode

Abstract

A metalloporphyrin incorporated carbon paste sensor has been developed for the determination of metronidazole benzoate (MTZB). Zn(II) complex of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (3-methoxy-4-hydroxy phenyl) porphyrin (TMHPP) was used as the active material. The MTZB gave a well-defined reduction peak at?0.713 V in 0.1 mol l^?1 phosphate buffer solution of pH around 7. Compared with bare carbon paste electrode (CPE), the TMHPP Zn(II) modified electrode significantly enhanced the reduction peak current of MTZB as well as lowered its reduction potential. Under optimum conditions the reduction peak current was proportional to MTZB concentration over the range 1 × 10^?3 mol l^?1 to 1 × 10^?5 mol l^?1. The detection limit was found to be 4.36 × 10^?6 mol l^?1. This sensor has been successfully applied for the determination of MTZB in pharmaceutical formulations and urine samples.

Voltammetric Determination of Methimazole Using a Carbon Paste Electrode Modified with a Schiff Base Complex of Cobalt

The electrochemical behavior of methimazole, as an antithyroid agent, is investigated on the surface of a carbon‐paste electrode modified with a newly synthesized Schiff base complex of cobalt. The prepared modified electrode showed an efficient catalytic role in the electrochemical oxidation of methimazole, leading to remarkable decrease in oxidation overpotential and enhancement of the kinetics of the electrode reaction. The mechanism of the electrocatalytic process on the surface of the modified electrode is analyzed by obtaining the cyclic voltammograms in various potential sweep rates and pHs of the buffer solutions. The differential pulse voltammetry is applied as a very sensitive analytical method for the determination of sub‐micromolar amounts of methimazole. A linear dynamic range of 1×10^?6 to 1×10^?4 M with a detection limit of 5×10^?7 M is resulted for methimazole. The modified electrode is successfully applied for the accurate determination of methimazole in pharmaceutical and clinical preparations. The linear range in calibration curves remains constant in addition to tablet preparations of methimazole and also in spiking to the synthetic human serum samples. In comparison to calibration curves in background buffer solution, the slope of the curves showed a variation less than 3% in determinations in background solutions of tablet and human synthetic serum samples. These results showed high efficiency of the Voltammetric procedure for accurate determination of methimazole in drug and clinical preparations. The modified electrode can be prepared very easy and renewed in its surface by simple polishing. The reproducibility of the electrode response, based on ten measurements during two month, was 3.2% for the slope of the calibration curve.
