Electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH on carbon black electrodes

Differential electrochemical mass spectroscopy (DEMS) was used to obtain information about the strongly adsorbed intermediate during methanol electrooxidation on platinum in sulfuric acid. It turned out that three electrons are released upon oxidation of one adsorbate molecule to CO₂. In the presence of oxygen, however, the number of electrons was determined to be between 2 and 2.5. Therefore CO can be excluded as the intermediate during methanol oxidation. COH seems to be the more likely adsorbate involved in the reaction pathway.     

Electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH at glassy carbon electrodes modified with an electropolymerized film of nile blue A

The kinetic parameters for the electrocatalytic oxidation of di-hydronicotiamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) at glassy carbon electrodes modified with an electropolymerized film of nile blue A (PNB) have been determined based on rotating disk electrode measurements. The rate constant for the chemical reaction between NADH and PNB is strongly influenced by NADH concentration and the pH value of solution, and it decreases with increasing NADH concentration, indicating that the electrocatalytic process proceeds via the formation of an intermediate of charge-transfer complex between NADH and PNB.

Electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH based on bicontinuous gyroidal mesoporous carbon with low overpotential

The electrochemical oxidation of β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) is studied at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with bicontinuous gyroidal mesoporous carbon (BGMC). Due to the large surface area and remarkable electrocatalytic properties of BGMC, the BGMC/GCE exhibits potent electrocatalytic activity toward the electro-oxidation of NADH. A substantial decrease of 649 mV in the overpotential of NADH oxidation reaction is achieved compared with a bare GCE. The anodic peak currents increase steadily with the concentration of NADH in a broad range from 3.0 × 10^?6 to 1.4 × 10^?3 M with a low detection limit of 1.0 × 10^?6 M under the optimal condition.

Electrocatalytic oxidation of hydrazine at cobalt hexacyanoferrate- modified glassy carbon, Pt and Au electrodes

The electrocatalytic oxidation of hydrazine has been studied on glassy carbon, Pt and Au electrodes modified by cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF) using cyclic voltammetry and rotating disc techniques. It has been shown that the oxidation of hydrazine to nitrogen occurs at the potential coinciding with that of Co(II) to Co(III) transformation in a CoHCF film, where no oxidation signal is observed at a bare glassy carbon electrode. A Tafel plot, derived from RDE voltammograms, exhibits a slope of 150 mV, indicating a one-electron charge transfer process to be the rate-limiting step. The electrocatalytic efficiency of the modified electrode towards hydrazine oxidation depends on solution pH, and the optimum range was found to be located between pH 5 and pH 7. The kinetic behaviour and location of the electrocatalytic process were examined using the W.J. Albery diagnosis table, and it was concluded that the reaction has either a “surface” or a “layer” reaction mechanism. Pt- and Au-CoHCF-modified electrodes show no significant electrocatalytic activity towards hydrazine oxidation. Received: 25 April 1997 / Accepted: 12 August 1997     

Electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH at carbon paste electrodes modified with meldola blue adsorbed on zirconium phosphate: effect of Ca2+ and polyethyleneimine

The basic electrochemistry of carbon paste electrodes modified with Meldola Blue adsorbed on zirconium phosphate (MB-ZP-CPEs) and their ability to oxidize NADH have been investigated. Three types of carbon powder (graphite and glassy carbon-type Sigradur K and G) were used to obtain MB-ZP-CPEs. On comparing cyclic voltammograms recorded at MB-ZP-CPEs, similarly prepared from the three different carbon powders, those made with Sigradur K exhibited the lowest background current, and the best MB electrochemistry, seen as the highest peak intensities and smallest peak separation. Using MB-ZP-CPEs based on Sigradur K a study on NADH oxidation was done focusing on the effect of the Ca²⁺ concentration in the contacting solution and on the addition of polyethyleneimine (PEI) into the paste. It can be stated that MB-ZP-CPEs based on Sigradur K and containing 1.23% (w/w) PEI exhibited the best behavior for NADH oxidation, measured by the highest electrocatalytic rate constant (8.2×10³ M^–1 s^–1).     

Electrocatalytic oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) at thick-film gold electrodes

Cyclic voltammetric and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic investigations of screen-printed, thick-film gold electrodes reveal significant differences when compared with conventional polished gold disk electrodes of comparable size. The rough and porous structure of the thick-film electrode surface leads to an actual electrode area which is increased six-fold compared to polished disk electrodes. Due to the catalytic properties of these surface structures it is possible to perform the electrochemical oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) at relatively low overpotentials, i.e. +0.145 V vs. SCE. By operating electrodes at this potential, electrode fouling processes and interference from electroactive species, e.g. acetaminophen, are minimized. An amperometric glucose sensor based on polymer matrix-entrapped glucose dehydrogenase with a working potential of +0.145 V vs. SCE was successfully incorporated into a flow injection analysis (FIA) system.     

Electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose at a Ni-curcumin modified glassy carbon electrode

The electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose was investigated on a nickel-basedchemically modified electrode (Ni(II)-curcumin) prepared by electropolymerization of Ni-curcumin complex (curcumin=1,7-bis[4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl]-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione) in alkaline solution. Reaction kinetic and mechanism were investigated by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA) techniques and steady-state polarization measurements. Cyclic voltammetry studies indicated that in the presence of glucose the anodic peak current of surface redox mediator was increased, followed by decrease in the corresponding cathodic current. This indicates that glucose was oxidized at the surface of this modified electrode. The results were explained based on the concept of electrocatalytic reactions that occur in this chemically modified electrode. The diffusion coefficient of glucose and the rate constant of the catalytic oxidation of glucose were found to be 6.7×10⁻⁶ cm² s⁻¹ and 6.5×10³ M⁻¹ s⁻¹, respectively. It has shown that by using the Ni-curcumin modified electrode, glucose can be determined with good response and low detection limit.

Electrocatalytic oxidation of hydroxylamine on glassy carbon electrodes modified by hybrid copper-cobalt hexacyanoferrate films.

An electrochemical sensor for amperometric detection of hydroxylamine was developed by electrodeposition of hybrid copper-cobalt hexacyanoferrate films on a glassy carbon electrode. The modified electrode could reduce the overpotential of the hydroxylamine oxidation by about 400 mV. This sensor exhibited a linear relationship between the response current and the hydroxylamine concentration in the range of 1.8 x 10(3) M to 4.6 x 10(-6) M with a detection limit of 2.1 x 10(-7) M. Good agreement was obtained between results from the present method and conventional UV-visible spectrophotometry results. The sensor had good recovery, stability and anti-interference ability.     

Electrocatalytic O2 reduction at glassy carbon electrodes modified with dendrimer-encapsulated Pt nanoparticles

Platinum dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs) were prepared within fourth-generation, hydroxyl-terminated, poly(amidoamine) dendrimers and immobilized on glassy carbon electrodes using an electrochemical coupling strategy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and electrochemical experiments confirmed that the Pt DENs were about 1.4 nm in diameter and that they remained within the dendrimer following surface immobilization. The resulting Pt DEN films were electrocatalytically active for the oxygen reduction reaction. The films were also robust, surviving up to 50 consecutive cyclic voltammograms and sonication.

Thiol oxidation at 2-mercaptopyrimidine-appended cobalt phthalocyanine modified glassy carbon electrodes

The electrocatalytic activity of cobalt tetra-2-mercaptopyrimidylphthalocyanine-modified glassy carbon electrode (CoTMPyrPc-GCE) toward gluthathione, l-cysteine and 2-mercaptoethanol has been investigated. CoTMPyrPc-GCE provides a significant improvement on the reported oxidation potential of l-cysteine in pH 4.0 phosphate buffered solution. The oxidation peak potential (E_p), for l-cysteine, was 0.15 V – a relatively lowered oxidation potential compared to reported phthalocyanine complexes. The electrode prepared by drop-dry/thermal annealing method was very stable and sensitive over a long period of time. The stability has been attributed to the thermal annealing and the structure of the mercaptopyrimidine on the periphery of the CoPc.     

Electrocatalytic oxidation of some biologically important compounds at conducting polymer electrodes modified by metal complexes

Conducting poly(3-methylthiophene) electrodes were electrochemically prepared. The resulting polymer films were modified with an inorganic complex, ferrocene. The incorporation of the ferrocene/ferrocenium moiety into the polymer film resulted in enhanced charge transfer towards the oxidation of some organic molecules of biological interest. The electrochemical response of the complex-containing polymer electrode was compared to that of the unmodified polymer electrode and that of the substrate. Apparent diffusion coefficients of the redox species were estimated from the cyclic voltammetric data for different biological molecules at the ferrocene-containing polymer electrode. Infra-red spectroscopic measurements for the “as-grown” films revealed the presence of the inorganic complex within the polymer. The modified polymer electrode showed noticeable enhancement for the charge transfer across the film interface and can be used as an electrochemical sensor for biological compounds.

Electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH based on polyluminol and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes

This work presents that the electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH can be enhanced by the hybrid composites of polyluminol and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The hybrid composites can be easily prepared by the electropolymerization of luminol and the adsorption of functionalized MWCNTs. The modified electrode exhibits two redox couples which can show two electrocatalytic peaks at about 0.1 and 0.3 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) to NADH oxidation. The kinetic constant, k(kin), for the electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH, evaluated by chronoamperometry and voltammetry using a rotating disk electrode (RDE), provided values close to 10(5) M(-1) s(-1). At an applied potential of 0.1 V, the sensor provides a linear response range for NADH from 5 × 10(-6) up to 1.5 × 10(-4) M with a sensitivity of 183.9 μA mM(-1) cm(-2), and detection and quantification limits of 0.6 and 5 μM (S/N = 3), respectively.

Electrocatalytic detection of insulin at RuOx/carbon nanotube-modified carbon electrodes

A bilayer surface coating, prepared by electrodepositing ruthenium oxide (RuOx) onto a carbon nanotube (CNT) layer, offers dramatic improvements in the stability and sensitivity of voltammetric and amperometric measurements of insulin compared to the individual (CNT or RuOx) coated electrodes. The enhanced electrocatalytic activity towards insulin is indicated from lowering the potential of the oxidation process (starting around 0.35 versus Ag/AgCl) and the substantially higher sensitivity over the entire potential range. A wide linear dynamic range (10-800 nM) was achieved with a detection limit of 1 nM. The marked electrocatalytic activity of the RuOx/CNT coating towards insulin is coupled with a greatly enhanced stability. For example, the insulin amperometric response of the RuOx/CNT-coated electrodes is highly stable, with 97% of the initial activity remaining after 60 min stirring of 2 × 10⁻⁶ M solution (compared to significantly faster current diminutions at the RuOx- or CNT-coated surfaces). The results suggest great promise for miniaturized sensors and detectors for monitoring insulin.
