热电极技术在电化学传感器中的应用

热电极技术是使用电流直接或间接加热微电极,通过控制施加电流的时间和大小来调节电极表面的温度。电极加热时可以只提高电极表面温度,而溶液的整体温度并不改变。由于温度对电化学反应速率、物质的扩散和对流均有影响,使用热电极技术可以减少背景噪音、提高检测的灵敏度与重现性。因此,热电极技术因其简单的加热设备、更高的检测灵敏度和更低的电极污染效应,在电化学分析领域引起了普遍关注。本文介绍了热电极技术的发展概况、工作原理、电极设计思路、电极温度的测量与控制、电极种类以及在电化学检测系统、电致化学发光检测系统、流动注射安培检测系统、毛细管电泳/芯片-电化学/电致化学发光检测系统中的相关应用。最后展望了该技术的发展趋势。     

基于热控电极的电致化学发光传感器的研究进展

电致化学发光（ECL）检测技术因其具有无需激发光源、仪器简单、灵敏度高、选择性好等特点,被广泛应用于环境分析、生物分析等领域. 温度是影响ECL的主要因素之一,在传统的ECL传感器中大多是通过溶液整体加热的方法来控制温度,这种方法操作繁琐,且溶液中的热不稳定性物质及易挥发性物质容易受到影响,因此电极很少工作在最适宜的温度下. 热控电极技术可以只提高电极表面温度,而维持溶液的整体温度不变,使用起来具有很好的便利性. 作者课题组首次将热控电极引入到ECL传感器的构建中,由于电极表面和溶液之间存在一定的温度梯度,因此可以引发强制对流,从而加快物质的扩散和对流速率;电极表面温度的升高还可以进一步提高电极表面物质的电化学反应速率,这两方面的共同作用提高了ECL检测的灵敏度. 同时,利用热控电极可以解决整体加热所引起的背景信号升高,挥发性、热不稳定性物质易受温度影响等问题,而且通过电极加热的方法可去除电极表面的污染物,从而提高ECL检测的重现性. 本文综述了近年来基于热控电极技术的ECL传感器的研究进展,主要介绍了热控电极的加热方式、电极种类以及热控电极在ECL中的应用等,并分析了该技术在实际应用中面临的主要问题,对该技术未来的发展趋势进行了展望.

Bipolar Electrochemistry

A bipolar electrode (BPE) is an electrically conductive material that promotes electrochemical reactions at its extremities (poles) even in the absence of a direct ohmic contact. More specifically, when sufficient voltage is applied to an electrolyte solution in which a BPE is immersed, the potential difference between the BPE and the solution drives oxidation and reduction reactions. Because no direct electrical connection is required to activate redox reactions, large arrays of electrodes can be controlled with just a single DC power supply or even a battery. The wireless aspect of BPEs also makes it possible to electrosynthesize and screen novel materials for a wide variety of applications. Finally, bipolar electrochemistry enables mobile electrodes, dubbed microswimmers, that are able to move freely in solution.     

Digital versatile disc bipolar electrode: A fast and low-cost approach for visual sensing of analytes and electrocatalysts screening

This work represents a new, extremely low cost and easy method for fabrication of bipolar electrode (BPE) for rapid and simultaneous screening of potential candidates for electrocatalytic reactions and sensing applications. Our method takes advantage of the silver reflective layer deposited on already available recordable digital versatile disc (DVD-R) polycarbonate substrate which acts as BPE. Oxidation of the reflective layer of the DVD-R in anodic pole of the BPE results in a permanent and visually measurable dissolute length. Therefore, one could correlate the electrocatalytic activity of the catalyst at the cathodic pole of the BPE, as well as the concentration of analyte in the solution, to the dissolution length of the BPE. To illustrate the promising applications of this new substrate as BPE, p-benzoquinone (BQ) and hydrogen peroxide were tested as model targets for the sensing application. Moreover, in order to show the feasibility of using DVD BPEs for screening applications, the electrocatalytic activity of Pt, Pd, Au, and pristine DVD substrate toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) were compared using an array of BPEs prepared on DVD substrate.     

Studies on the vinyl polymerization photoinitiated by p-benzoylperoxybenzoic acid tert-butylester

p-Benzoylperoxybenzoic acid tert-butylester (BPE) undergoes an efficient photodecomposition producing cleavage of the peroxy bond. The excited triplet benzophenone carbonyl group of the perester is quenched by vinyl monomers (the degree of which depends on the type of monomer used) thus reducing the rate of decomposition of BPE when it is used as a photoinitiator. Radicals generated from the decomposition of BPE are highly efficient in initiating vinyl polymerization. The benzophenone-containing end groups of the polymer chain can be estimated and the carbonyl function is useful for polymer modification.     

Study of molecular trapping inside gold nanofinger arrays on surface-enhanced Raman substrates

The binding of trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)-ethylene (BPE) molecules on substrates arrayed with flexible gold nanofingers has been studied by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AR-XPS). On the basis of the SERS and XPS results, BPE molecules are found to interact with the gold nanofingers through the lone pair electrons of pyridyl nitrogens, not through delocalized π electrons. Furthermore, after comparing the AR-XPS spectra of finger arrays preclosed before exposure to BPE with the spectra of arrays that closed after exposure to BPE, we observed in the latter case, at grazing takeoff angles, an increase in the component of the nitrogen photoelectron peak associated with pyridyl nitrogen atoms residing on bridging sites. These results demonstrate that a small percentage of BPE molecules was trapped between the neighboring gold finger tips during the finger closing process. However, because these trapped BPE molecules coincidently resided in the hot spots formed among the touching finger tips, the substantial increase in the observed SERS signal was dominated by the contribution from this small minority of BPE molecules.     

Changing need for bioanalysis during drug development

Recent years have witnessed the introduction of several high-quality review articles into the literature covering various scientific and technical aspects of bioanalysis, including chirality aspects. Now it is widely accepted that bioanalysis is an integral part of the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characterization of a novel chemical entity (NCE) from the time of its discovery and during various stages of drug development leading to its market authorization. There is a need for a comprehensive review article that takes into account the changing faces of bioanalysis from the time of inception of an NCE at the discovery stage and as the NCE moves forward in development. This review attempts to cover the versatility in the applicability of bioanalytical aspects with respect to the nature, rigor and available choices of analyses. For ease of understanding, bioanalytical aspects are discussed under sections covering discovery, preclinical and clinical stages. It is intended to give some general thoughts in this area which will form basis of a general framework as to how one would approach bioanalysis from inception (i.e. discovery of a lead molecule) and progressing through various stages of drug development.     

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory study on 4,4'-bipyridine molecule

The molecular geometry and vibrational frequencies of 4,4'-bipyridine (BPE) in the ground state were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) methods (B3LYP) with 6-31++G(d,p) basis set. The optimized geometric bond lengths and bond angles are obtained by DFT employing the hybrid of Beckes non-local three parameter exchange and correlation functional and Lee-Yang-Parr correlation functional. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman) and near-infrared surface-enhanced Raman scattering (NIR-SERS) spectra of BPE on the silver foil substrate have been recorded. All FT-IR, FT-Raman and NIR-SERS band were assigned on the basis of the B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) method. The vibrational frequencies obtained by DFT(3LYP) are in good agreement with observed results. The NIR-SERS of BPE excited by 1064nm laser line is little difference with that excited by visible laser line. This phenomenon is result to the increase of the contribution of CHEM enhancement effect. Surface selection rules derived from the electromagnetic enhancement model were employed to infer the orientations of BPE on the silver foil substrate surface. Some vibrational frequency which are sensitive to the planar or non-planar structure of BPE, and to the dihedral angle were concluded.     

Surface-enhanced hyper-Raman spectroscopy with a picosecond laser: gold and copper colloids

We have obtained surface-enhanced hyper-Raman scattering (SEHRS) spectra of crystal violet, rhodamine 6G and Ru(trpy) (BPE)₃²⁺ adsorbed on gold and copper colloidal surfaces (where TRPY=2,2′,2″-terpyridine, BPE=trans-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene). Our results demonstrate that the SEHRS effect is not intrinsically restricted to a Ag substrate and that surface enhancements at the emitted hyper-Raman photon frequencies are not required for observing SEHRS signals.     

Advances in bipolar electrochemiluminescence for the detection of biorelevant molecular targets

Bipolar electrochemistry (BPE) contrasts very much with conventional electrochemistry because it is based on the control of the solution potential instead of the working electrode potential. In a typical setup, a piece of conducting materials is immersed in an electrolyte and submitted to an electric field. Such conditions split the interfacial nature of the materials into cathodic and anodic domains where electrochemical reactions can readily take place. BPE has many potential applications, and the present contribution aims to focus on recent analytical applications that involve electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) detection. ECL is a special case of luminescence where the excited state of the luminophore is populated after a sequence of reaction that is triggered by an initial electron transfer step occurring at the electrode surface. The coupling between BPE and ECL is a powerful approach because it provides a unique opportunity to combine the intrinsic advantages of both techniques. BPE enables the spatial separation of sensing and reporting poles, whereas ECL provides a simple and sensitive visual readout. This opinion article will describe the experimental possibilities and the most recent applications of BPE/ECL coupling for the detection of biorelevant molecular targets.     

Synthesis and characterization of copoly(arylene sulfide)s

Copolymerizations of p-dichlorobenzene (DCB)/4-bromophenyl ether (BPE), DCB/4,4′-dibromobiphenyl (DBB), and DBB/BPE pairs with sodium sulfide under high temperature (270–290°C) utilizing N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) as solvent were carried out to give C(DCB/BPE), C(DCB/DBB), and C(DBB/BPE) copolymers, respectively. The reactivity of dihaloaromatic monomers toward thiolate anion in the polycondensation reaction followed the order DBB > DCB > BPE. The reactivity gap between DBB and DCB toward thiolate anion seemed to be smaller than that between BPE and DCB, resulting in both high yield and high molecular weight in the C(DCB/DBB) copolymers compared to C(DCB/BPE) copolymers. The copolymerization of DBB/BPE pair with sodium sulfide, which has larger reactivity gap than the DCB/DBB or DCB/BPE pair, gave mixtures of PBS and PPSE homopolymers especially in the range of 50–80 mol % BPE in the feed. The C(DCB/DBB) and C(DCB/BPE) copolymers, however, exhibited random copolymer character in all comonomer ratios in the feed as evidenced by copolymer composition and DSC data. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
