It has been found that multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CS-CNT) can be produced in mass level, simply by pyrolysing mustard oil which was then derivatized with carboxylic acid (CS-CNT (acid)) and ammonia (CS-CNT (base)). A low cost electrode was fabricated on Teflon substrate with three silver wires which was coated with different types of carbon nanotube. A comparative study of electrochemical be...

In this work we present a critical study of the nucleic acid layer immobilized at glassy carbon electrodes. Different studies were performed in order to assess the nature of the interaction between DNA and the electrode surface. The adsorption and electrooxidation of DNA demonstrated to be highly dependent on the surface and nature of the glassy carbon electrode. The DNA layer immobilized at a ...

We have fabricated a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) with a pair of carbon-based electrodes using a transparent, conductive carbon nanotubes (CNTs) film modified with ultra-thin titanium-sub-oxide (TiOx) as the working electrode and a bilayer of conductive CNTs and carbon black as the counter electrode. Without TiOx modification, the DSSC is almost nonfunctional whereas the power conversion ef...

A novel biochemical sensor was assembled on a glass carbon electrode by a electrodeposition process. Gold nanoparticles were deposited by potential +1.5 V on the glass carbon electrode. CT-DNA was deposited by potential +1.5 V on the gold nanoparticles array electrode. The properties of the modified electrode were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), X-ray photoelectro...

a carbon paste electrode modified with cobalt (ii) phthalocyanine (copc) was used as a sensitive potentiometric sensor for determination of ascorbic acid in aqueous solutions. the potential response of the electrode is a linear function of ascorbic acid concentration over the range 5 10 to 10 m (?1- 1800 µg ml ) with a nernstian slope of 56 mv at ph 7. the limit of detection was 0.2 µg ml ascor...

Traditional multibarreled pipette electrodes are still widely used in microiontophoresis studies. Although better electrodes have been introduced, they are difficult and time-consuming to make. Construction of a carbon fiber recording and microiontophoresis assembly is described here. The construction of a carbon fiber electrode assembly is easy and carbon fibers have excellent characteristics ...

Titania nano particles were synthesized at carbon paste electrode by cyclic voltammetry and then it was employed for the determination of acetaminophen in phosphate buffer at pH 7.4. Carbon paste electrode with titania nano particle displayed excellent electrochemically catalytic activities by shifting the oxidation potential of acetaminophen towards the negative side. The mass transfer process...

the conditional formal potential, e°′of methyldopa has been studied by cyclic voltammetry at the surface of activated glassy carbon electrode (agce) as the working electrode in different ph phosphate buffered solutions. the experimental standard redox potential, e°′, of methyldopa is obtained to be 0.72 mv versus she (standard hydrogen electrode). e°′ values have also been calculated with the a...
