In this project, we have attempted to develop a new technique utilizing Boron-doped diamond (BDD) films to electrochemically detect mercury dissolved in solution via the initial deposition of metallic mercury, followed by anodic linear sweep voltammetry in the range from 1010 M to 10 M. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques were employed. The extremely low ...

Thymus is regarded as one of the medicinal species, which according to obtained chromatograms of floral water of Thymus; one of the main components is thymol as strong antioxidant. In this study the appropriate and physically powerful correlation was found between the anti-radical and oxidation potentials. The antioxidant activity of the Thymus was measured by using square wave and cyclic volta...

Layer by layer films of protein and redox polymer were constructed and used to simultaneously analyze ascorbic acid and hydrogen peroxide. The films were made using hemoglobin and poly[4-vinylpyridine Os(bipyridine)(2)Cl]-co-ethylamine (Pos-Ea). The film growth was monitored using cyclic voltammetry, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Reversible pairs of oxidat...

Monitoring the acetaminophen in biological samples and also in pharmaceutical formulations is important due to the concerns of public health care and drug safety. In this work a carbon paste electrode modified with BaTiO3 nanoparticle (BTO NPs) and room-temperature ionic liquid (IL) (n-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluoro phosphate) was fabricated. The direct electro-oxidation behavior of aceta...

Modification of a glassy carbon (GC) electrode surface by adhered microparticles of zinc oxide (ZnO) using electrochemical performance of microparticles of ZnO/GC electrode shows excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of ascorbic acid in 0.1 M KH2PO4 electrolyte solution by cyclic voltammetry (CV). This paper seeks to critically examine the modification of GC electrode with Z...

Hydrazine has been identified as a carcinogenic mutagenic, hepatotoxic, and neurotoxin material. A metal-organic framework with tetragonal symmetry, DMOF-1 (Zn2(bdc)2dabco) was synthesized by a versatile and facile technique, followed by its efficient development and validation as hydrazine electrochemical sensor. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), and c...

Clinical and Epidemiological studies have shown that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancers and other related disorders. These beneficial health effects have been attributed in part to the presence of antioxidants in dietary plants. Therefore screening for antioxidant properties of plant extracts has been one of the interests...

A report is presented on the use of cyclic voltammetry using silver as a working electrode. The combined electrocatalytic properties of silver and ionic liquids allow cyclic voltammetry to be turned into an ideal tool for the rapid and accurate access to diffusion coefficient values and solubility values of carbon dioxide in ionic liquids under standard conditions.
