The surface of a gold (Au) disk electrode was modified with a self-assembled monolayer consisting of phenylboronic acid moiety to fabricate a voltammetric sensor sensitive to sugars. The modified Au electrode exhibited a voltammetric response to sugars in the presence of Fe(CN)6(3-) ion in the sample solution at neutral pH. The peak current of the cyclic voltammograms decreased depending on the...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were immobilized on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to form a MWCNTs-CTAB nanocomposite-modified electrode. The electrocatalytic response of the modified electrode towards tryptophan (Trp) was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The surface...

A transistor pH electrode (pH-ISFET electrode) was placed in each of four human mouths and bacteria were allowed to accumulate on it for 1, 2 or 3 days. Changes of plaque pH were measured in situ after application of sucrose solution (0.1, 1 or 3%) and, then, quick pH recovery by mouth-rinses with water was estimated. Although the acidic pH after application of 0.1% sucrose was easily and quick...

We used an effective electrochemical sensor for the determination of imipramine at pH 7.2 using a carbon nanocomposite electrode. The electrode has been designed by incorporation of montmorillonite nanoclay into the carbon ionic liquid electrode. The high sensitivity of 1.714 μA (μM)-1, two linear calibration ranges of 0.1–2 μM and 2-40 μM, and detection limit of 19 nM were achieved. The relati...

The voltammetric performance of edge-plane pyrolytic graphite (EPG) electrode via adsorptive stripping voltammetry was investigated for study of the electrochemical behavior of omeprazole (OMZ) in aqueous solution. The results revealed that the oxidation of OMZ is an irreversible pH-dependent process that proceeds with the transfer of one electron and one proton in an adsorption-controlled mech...

Bismuth&d platinum electrodes were investigated as pH indicating electrodes in strong KOH solutions (pH 14-16). The E-pH curve of freshly prepared bismuth electrodes is linear, but the E-pH slope altered with time. It is shown that the slope is constant if the bismuth electrode has been aged via immersion in a concentrated KOH solution. The value of the E-pH slope depends on the KOH concentrati...

The H2 electrode is commonly assumed to be a half-cell, 2 H + 2e == H2, and explained by the Nernst equation. We cannot assume that the H is easily reduced to H2 in an H2 saturated solution, and H2 becoming oxidized to H in a strongly acid solution against the equilibrium principle. How can the H2 gas is involved from a basic solution where there is practically no H ions? Another equilibrium ha...

a chemically modified carbon paste electrode with multiwall carbon nanotube (mwcnt) was prepared and used as a sensor for cu2+ ion. the unique chemical and physical properties of cnt have paved the way  to  new  and  improved  sensing  devices.  a  central  composite chemometrics  design  was  applied  for  multivariate  optimization  of the  effects  of  three  significant  parameters  (graphi...

The stability of a Ag/AgCl reference electrode equipped with a gelled ionic liquid, 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (C(8)mimC(1)C(1)N), as a salt bridge, was examined in the potentiometry of pH standard solutions. The variation in the liquid junction potential (LJP) of the ionic liquid (IL)-type reference electrode, measured with respect to a double junction-type ...
