Zinc oxide nanoflower (ZnONF) was synthesized by a simple process and was used to construct a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for the detection of sunset yellow (SY). Due to the large surface area and high accumulation efficiency of ZnONF, the ZnONF-modified carbon paste electrode (ZnONF/CPE) showed a strong enhancement effect on the electrochemical oxidation of SY. The electrochemical ...

Currently, the use of time of flight (TOF)-mass spectrometry (MS) in quantitative analysis of small molecules is rare. Recently, the quantitative performance of TOF mass analyzers has improved due to the advancements in TOF technology. We evaluated a Q-TOF-MS in different modes, i.e., Q-TOF-full scan (Q-TOF-FS), Q-TOF-enhanced-full scan (Q-TOF-En-FS), MS(E), Q-TOF-targeted (Q-TOF-TGT), Q-TOF-en...

Among all non-conventional micro-machining, electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) is having high quality of material removal rate with zero residual stress. This machining has been accepted as a highly modern technology in micromachining. In this paper an effort has been done on micro drilling of glass using electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM). A fixed tool and a step down transform...

Eight conducting polymer films of polypyrrole and its derivatives were used as sensitive and selective coatings for thickness-shear mode (TSM) acoustic wave sensors. They were applied to the detection of volatile alcohols and carbonyl compounds, which are important fish freshness determinants. The conducting polymers were synthesized and coated on TSM devices by electrochemical oxidation. The e...

Simultaneous acquisition of in vivo electrophysiological and neurochemical information is essential for understanding how endogenous neurochemicals modulate the dynamics of brain activity. However, up to now such a task has rarely been accomplished due to the major technical challenge of operating two independent recording systems simultaneously in real-time. Here we propose a simpler solution ...

This paper investigated carbon steel corrosion in an enclosed environment, where one set of was immersed 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution and another exposed to humid (condensation) conditions. The study employed electrochemical noise impedance spectroscopy techniques monitor real time behaviour. samples were evaluated with surface characterisation including optical light microscope, scanning electron mi...

Graphene quantum dots, GQDs, have been synthesized using two strategies: electrochemical (E) and wet chemical (W) methods. A simple, industrially up-scalable, two-electrode electrochemical setup, starting from graphite and a one-pot wet chemical synthesis, modified from reference [1] were used to produce GQDs. Filtration, centrifugation, concentration and dialysis were used to purify the obtain...
