A new electrochemical method was proposed for the determination of adenosine‐5′‐triphosphate (ATP) based on the electrooxidation at a molecular wire (MW) modified carbon paste electrode (CPE), which was fabricated with diphenylacetylene (DPA) as the binder. A single well‐defined irreversible oxidation peak of ATP appeared on MW‐CPE with adsorption‐controlled process and enhanced electrochemical response in a pH 3.0 Britton‐Robinson buffer solution, which was due to the presence of high conductive DPA in the electrode. The electrochemical parameters of ATP were calculated with the electron transfer coefficient (α) as 0.54, the electron transfer number (n) as 1.9, the apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (k_s) as 2.67 × 10^?5 s^?1 and the surface coverage (Γ_T) as 4.15 × 10^?10 mol cm^?2. Under the selected conditions the oxidation peak current was proportional to ATP concentration in the range from 1.0 × 10^?7 mol L^?1 to 2.0 × 10^?3 mol L^?1 with the detection limit as 1.28 × 10^?8 mol L^?1 (3σ) by sensitive differential pulse voltammetry. The proposed method showed good selectivity without the interferences of coexisting substances and was successful applied to the ATP injection samples detection.

In this paper a new electrochemical method based on the ionic liquid modified carbon paste electrode (IL‐CPE) was proposed for the determination of adenosine‐5′‐triphosphate (ATP) in a pH 4.5 Britton‐Robinson (B‐R) buffer solution. IL‐CPE was prepared by using 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium trifluoroacetate (BMIMCF₃COO) as the modifier. Cyclic voltammetry was used to investigate the electrochemical behaviors of ATP on the IL‐CPE, and the results indicated that IL‐CPE exhibited strong electrocatalytic ability to promote the oxidation of ATP with a single well‐defined irreversible adsorption‐controlled oxidation peak appeared.

The obtained results indicated that DHPMB/RGO/CPE is applicable to separate NAC, uric acid (UA) and dopamine (DA) oxidative peaks, simultaneously. For analytic performance, the mentioned modified electrode was used for determination of NAC in the drug samples with acceptable results, and the simultaneous determination of NAC, UA and DA oxidative peaks was investigated in the serum solutions, too.     

A Bifunctional Electrocatalyst Containing Tris(2,2′‐bipyridine) Ruthenium(II) and 12‐Molybdophosphate Bulk‐Modified Carbon Paste Electrode

The electroactive composite containing tris(2,2′‐bipyridine) ruthenium(II) and 12‐molybdophosphate (RuPMo₁₂) was synthesized and first used as a bifunctional electrocatalyst to fabricate a chemically bulk‐modified carbon paste electrode (RuPMo₁₂‐CPE) by direct mixing. The electrochemical behavior of the RuPMo₁₂‐CPE was studied by cyclic voltammetry. The RuPMo₁₂‐CPE presents good electrocatalytic activity not only toward the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and bromate, which is attributed to the function of molybdophosphate, but also toward the oxidation of arsenite, which is primarily attributed to the function of tris(2,2′‐bipyridine) ruthenium(II). The remarkable advantage of the RuPMo₁₂‐CPE is its good stability owing to the insolubility of RuPMo₁₂ and reproducibility of surface renewal.

In the present research, the electro oxidation of methanol was investigated by different electrochemical methods at a carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with bis(salicylaldehyde)‐nickel(II)‐dihydrate complex (Ni(II)‐BS) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) (which named Ni(II)‐BS/RGO/CPE) in an alkaline solution. This modified electrode showed very efficient activity for oxidation of methanol. It was found that methanol was oxidized by NiOOH groups generated by further electrochemical oxidation of nickel (II) hydroxide on the surface of the modified electrode. The rate constant and electron transfer coefficient were calculated to be 2.18 s^?1 and 0.4, respectively. The anodic peak currents revealed a linear dependency with the square root of scan rate.

Under the optimized conditions, the peak current was linear to risperidone concentration over the concentration range of 10–200 nM with sensitivity of 0.016 μA/nM^?1 using differential pulse voltammetry. The detection limit was 6.54 nM (S/N = 3). The electrode also displayed good selectivity and repeatability. In the presence of clozapine (CLZ) the response of RIS kept almost unchanged. Thus this electrode could find application in the determination of RIS in some real samples. The analytical performance of the OPPF₆‐MWCNTs/GCE was demonstrated for the determination of RIS in human serum and pharmaceutical samples.

To identify the redox properties of the modified electrode, and to examine its electrochemical properties, cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were conducted. Through electrochemical investigations, the coefficient of electron transfer between ADPC and the CNs/CPE (i. e. carbon paste electrode which was modified with CNs), the apparent charge transfer rate constant (k_s), and the diffusion coefficient (D) were calculated. The NOE oxidation occurred at the optimum pH of 7.0 and a potential that was about 235 mV less positive than that of the unmodified carbon paste electrode. The interaction between the two metals in the Fe₂O₃@CeO₂ coreshell led to an increase in the surface area and, consequently a sharp increase in the current. The differential pulse voltammogram of NOE showed two linear dynamic ranges an excellent detection limit (3σ) of 40 nM. In addition, NOE, AC and Trp were simultaneously determined at the modified electrode. Finally, NOE was quantitated in a number of real samples.
