Palladium nanoparticle decorated carbon ionic liquid electrode for highly efficient electrocatalytic oxidation and determination of hydrazine

In this work arrays of palladium nanoparticles were synthesized on carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) (Pd/CILE), and the electrocatalytic oxidation of hydrazine was investigated using this electrode. Electrochemical oxidation of hydrazine in phosphate buffer (pH 7) was performed using cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetric techniques (SWV). Using the proposed electrode, a highly reproducible and well-defined peak was obtained for hydrazine at a very low potential of −0.02 V versus Ag/AgCl. A linear dynamic range of 5-800 μM with an experimental detection limit of 0.82 μM was obtained. These results show that the proposed electrode displays better electrocatalytic activity compared to the previously reported palladium modified electrodes towards oxidation of hydrazine.

尿酸和叶酸存在下改性碳纳米管糊电极上多巴胺电催化氧化(英文)

A chemically modified carbon paste electrode (CPE), consisting of 2,2'-[ (1E)- (1,2- phenylenebis (azanylylidene)] bis (methanylylidene)]bis (benzene-1,4-diol) (PBD) and multiwalled carbon nano-tubes (CNTs), was used to study the electrocatalytic oxidation of dopamine using cyclic voltamme-try, chronoamperometry, and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). First, the electrochemical be-havior of the modified electrode was investigated in buffer solution. Then the diffusion coefficient, electrocatalytic rate constant, and electron-transfer coefficient for dopamine oxidation at the sur-face of the PBD-modified CNT paste electrode were determined using electrochemical approaches. It was found that under optimum conditions (pH = 7.0), the oxidation of dopamine at the surface of such an electrode occurred at about 200 mV, lower than that of an unmodified CPE. DPV of dopa-mine at the modified electrode exhibited two linear dynamic ranges, with a detection limit of 1.0 μmol/L. Finally, DPV was used successfully for the simultaneous determination of dopamine, uric acid, and folic acid at the modified electrode, and detection limits of 1.0, 1.2, and 2.7 μmol/L were obtained for dopamine, uric acid, and folic acid, respectively. This method was also used for the determination of dopamine in a pharmaceutical preparation using the standard addition method.     

An exclusive fluoride receptor: fluoride-induced proton transfer to a quinoline-based thiourea

A new quinoline-based tripodal thiourea has been synthesized, which exclusively binds fluoride anion in DMSO, showing no affinity for other anions including chloride, bromide, iodide, perchlorate, nitrate, and hydrogen sulfate. As investigated by ¹H NMR, the receptor forms both 1:1 and 1:2 complexes yielding binding constants of 2.32(3) (in log β₁) and 4.39(4) (in log β₂), respectively. The quinoline groups are protonated by fluoride-induced proton transfer from the solution to the host molecule. The 1:2 binding is due to the interactions of one fluoride with NH binding sites of urea sites and another fluoride with secondary ⁺NH binding sites within the tripodal pocket. The formation of both 1:1 and 1:2 complexes has been confirmed by theoretical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT).     

Simultaneous Determination of Nitrite and Hydrogen Peroxide Using Hemoglobin Modified Pencil Lead Electrode as a Novel Biosensor: Application to the Analysis of Mother’s Milk

In the present paper simultaneous determination of nitrite and hydrogen peroxide using hemoglobin modified pencil lead electrode (Hb/PLE) prepared by a simple and rapid electroless method was described. In the first part of the work the reduction of NO₂ and H₂O₂ at the modified electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. Then under optimal conditions using differential pulse voltammetry, the biosensor could be used for the determination of H₂O₂ at concentration ranging from 5 to 240 M and NO₂ at concentration ranging from 10 to 240 M. The detection limits were 3×10^?6 and 5×10^?6 M, for NO₂ and H₂O₂ respectively. Differential pulse voltammetry also used for the simultaneous determination of NO₂ and H₂O₂. This modified electrode successfully used for the determination of NO₂ and H₂O₂ in tap water and mother’s milk samples.     

A Highly Sensitive Sensor Based on Reduced Graphene Oxide,Carbon Nanotube and a Co(II) Complex Modified Carbon Paste Electrode: Simultaneous Determination of Isoprenaline,Captopril and Tryptophan

This paper describes the development of a reduced graphene oxide (RGO), carbon nanotube (CNT) and Co(II) complex (cobalt(II) bis (benzoylacetone) ethylenediimino) (CBE) modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) for simultaneous determination of isoprenaline (IP), captopril (CAP) and tryptophan (Try). A pair of well‐defined redox peaks of Co(II) complex were obtained through a direct electron transfer between the Co(II) complex and the CPE. The proposed sensor showed very efficient electrocatalytic activity for anodic oxidation of IP in a 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0). Square wave voltammetry (SWV) exhibited two linear dynamic ranges of 0.125–30.0 µM and 30.0–300.0 µM for IP. The detection limit for IP was found to be 50 nM. The proposed sensor was successfully applied for the determination of IP in real samples such as human blood serum, urine and IP ampoule.
