Voltammetric and amperometric determination of hydrogen peroxide using a carbon-ceramic electrode modified with a nanohybrid composite made from single-walled carbon nanotubes and silver nanoparticles

A nanohybrid composite material was prepared from single-walled carbon nanotubes and silver nanoparticles, and used to fabricate a modified carbon-ceramic electrode. The preparation of the composite is facile and efficient. The nanohybrid composite deposited on the carbon-ceramic electrode was characterized by X-ray diffraction and cyclic voltammetry. The new electrode displays favorable electrocatalytic ability towards hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and can be used to electrocatalytically reduce this species. Under the optimum conditions, the current measured during hydrodynamic amperometry is linearly related to the concentration of H₂O₂ over the concentration range from 0.01 to 8 mM, with a detection limit of 2?×?10^?7 M at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 and sensitivity of 3.23 μA/mM. The electrode exhibits good reproducibility, long-term stability and negligible interference by dopamine, uric acid, and other important biological compounds. The electrode was successfully applied to the determination of H₂O₂ in honey samples, and the recovery was 101.2%.

Targetry and specification of <Superscript>167</Superscript>Tm production parameters by different reactions

In recent years, there has been a rapid expansion in the use of radio nuclides for therapeutic purposes. Thulium–167 is an important radionuclide (T _1/2 = 9.25 d) due to it could be used for tumor and bone studies in nuclear medicine. ¹⁶⁷Tm complexed with hydroxy ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (HEDTA) could be used with the aim of bone imaging. ¹⁶⁷Tm emits a prominent γ ray of 208 keV energy and low energy electrons. This study describes calculations on the excitation functions of ¹⁶⁵Ho(α,2n)¹⁶⁷Tm, ¹⁶⁷Er(p,n)¹⁶⁷Tm, ^natEr(d,xn)¹⁶⁷Tm and ^natEr(p,xn)¹⁶⁷Tm reactions by ALICE/ASH (hybrid and GDH models) and TALYS-1.0 codes. In addition, calculated data by codes were compared to experimental data that earlier were published and TENDL-2010 database. Moreover, optimal thickness of the targets and physical yield were obtained by SRIM (stopping and range of ions in matter) code for each reaction. According to the results, the ¹⁶⁷Er(p,n)¹⁶⁷Tm and ¹⁶⁵Ho(α,2n)¹⁶⁷Tm reactions are suggested as the best method to produce ¹⁶⁷Tm owing to minimum impurities. The TALYS-1.0 code, predict the maximum cross-section of about 382 mb at 11 MeV and 849 mb at 26 MeV for ¹⁶⁷Er(p,n)¹⁶⁷Tm and ¹⁶⁵Ho(α,2n)¹⁶⁷Tm reactions, respectively. Finally, deposition of ^natEr₂O₃ on Cu substrate was carried out via the sedimentation method. The 516 mg of erbium(III)oxide with 103.2 mg of ethyl cellulose and 8 mL of acetone were used to prepare a ^natEr₂O₃ layer of 11.69 cm². ¹⁶⁷Tm was produced via the ^natEr(p,n)¹⁶⁷Tm nuclear process at 20 μA current and 15 → 7 MeV protons beam (1 h). Yield of about 3.2 MBq ¹⁶⁷Tm per μA h were experimentally obtained.     

Uranyl sensor based on a N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-2-hydroxy-phenylmethanediamine and multiwall carbon nanotube electrode

The electrochemical determination of uranyl was investigated by using carbon paste electrode modified with a Schiff base namely N,N??-bis(salicylidene)-2-hydroxy-phenylmethanediamine (SHPMD/CPE) and also in the presence of carbon nanotube (SHPMD/CNT/CPE). The both modified electrodes displayed an irreversible peak at E _pa?=?0.798?V versus Ag/AgCl. The electrocatalytic reduction of uranyl has been studied on SHPMD/CNT/CPE, using cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry, chronocoulometry and linear sweep techniques. Electrochemical parameters including the diffusion coefficient (D), the electron transfer coefficient (??), the ionic exchange current (i) and the redox reaction rate constant (K) were determined for the reduction of uranyl on the surface of the modified electrodes. Linear range concentration is 0.002?C0.6???mol?L^?1 and the detection limit of uranyl is 0.206?nmol?L^?1. The proposed method was used to detect uranyl in natural waters and good recovery was achieved.     

Study of complexation process between N-phenylaza-15-crown-5 with yttrium cation in binary mixed solvents

The complexation reaction between Y³⁺ cation with N-phenylaza-15-crown-5(Ph-N15C5) was studied at different temperatures in acetonitrile–methanol (AN/MeOH), acetonitrile–propanol (AN/PrOH), acetonitrile–1,2 dichloroethane (AN/DCE) and acetonitrile–water (AN/H₂O) binary mixtures using the conductometric method. The results show that in all cases, the stoichiometry of the complex is 1:1 (ML). The values of formation constant of the complex which were determined using conductometric data, show that the stability of (Ph-N15C5.Y)³⁺ complex in pure solvents at 25?°C changes in the following order: PrOH?>?AN?>?MeOH and in the case of binary mixed solutions at 25?°C it follows the order: AN–DCE?>?AN–PrOH?>?AN–MeOH?>?AN–H₂O. The values of standard thermodynamic quantities (?H _c ^° and ?S _c ^° ) for formation of (Ph-N15C5.Y)³⁺ complex were obtained from temperature dependence of the formation constant using the van’t Hoff plots. The results show that in most cases, the complex is entropy and enthalpy stabilized and these parameters are influenced by the nature and composition of the mixed solvents. In most cases, a non-linear behavior was observed for variation of log K_f of the complex versus the composition of the binary mixed solvents. In all cases, an enthalpy–entropy compensation effect was observed for formation of (Ph-N15C5.Y)³⁺ complex in the binary mixed solvents.
