In this article, it is shown that the efficiency of an electrochemical aptasensing device is influenced by the use of different nanoparticles (NPs) such as gold nanoparticles (Au), silver nanoparticles (Ag), hollow gold nanospheres (HGN), hollow silver nanospheres (HSN), silver–gold core shell (Ag@Au), gold–silver core shell (Au@Ag), and silver–gold alloy nanoparticles (Ag/Au). Among these nano...

Nucleic acids belong to the most important molecules and therefore the understanding of their properties, function and behavior is crucial. Even though a range of analytical and biochemical methods have been developed for this purpose, one common step is essential for all of them - isolation of the nucleic acid from the from complex sample matrix. The use of magnetic particles for the separatio...

Flavonoids are natural products commonly found in the human diet that show antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-hepatotoxic activities. These nutraceutical properties may relate to the electrochemical activity of flavonoids. To increase the understanding of structure-electrochemical activity relations and the inductive effects that OH substituents have on the redox potential of flavonoids, w...

in this paper, the electrochemical hydrogen storage in nanocomposite materials was studied. multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) electrode was prepared by mixing with special composite. the optimum ratio of mwcnts was estimated 30-70% (w/w) in the composite material. mwcnts were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (cvd). the nanocomposite was homogenized by microwave. cyclic voltammetry ...

Three rhodamine derivatives exhibiting electrofluorochromic properties were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and UV-Vis/fluorescence spectroelectrochemistry. Rhodamine 101 (Rh101, compound 1) was used as a reference model. In compound 2, the carboxylate anion of Rh101 was replaced by an alkyne moiety to allow further functionalization. The compound 3 was prepared from 2 by conversion of the a...

Determination of the stability constants of dissolved iron(III) glycine system in water solution (I = 0.6 mol L in NaClO4, pH = 7.3 at 25±1 oC) using differential pulse cathodic voltammetry (DPCV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) was performed out on a static mercury drop electrode (SMDE). By choosing voltammetry as analytical tool, measurements with lower iron(III) concentrations (10 mol L), at the...
