in this paper, the effect of penicillin g drug as a green corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in 1.0 mhydrochloric acid solution has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy (eis) and electrochemical noise (en) techniques. the inhibition efficiencywas found to increase with increasing inhibitor concentration. potentiodynamic polarizationmeasureme...

the influence of increasing the sio2/k2o molar ratio on the electrochemical action of a waterbornepotassium silicate zinc-rich coating was investigated by means of electrochemical impedancespectroscopy (eis) and corrosion potential (ecorr) measurements. the eis results showed thatincreasing the sio2/k2o molar ratio in the range of 3.135 to 5 by the addition of nano-sio2 to theresins improved th...

In this article, we report a newly devised composite electrode for electrochemical capacitors, by depositing manganese dioxide (MnO2) on the surface of carbon nanotubes via a spontaneous redox reaction. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopic studies demonstrated a homogeneous coating of layered MnO2 on the surface of the carbon nanotubes. The MWNT@MnO2 composite electrode displ...

In this work, we describe the electrochemical activation of glucose oxidase (GOx) via covalent attachment of a novel redox mediator, Os(bpy)2(API)Cl (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, API = 3-aminopropylimidazole), to the peptide backbone of GOx targeting at aspartate and glutamate residues. Cyclic voltammetry showed a pair of well-defined voltammetric peaks centered at 0.11 V for the activated enzyme. Os...

This paper reports a novel approach in the electrode immobilization of an enzyme, invertase, by electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of enzyme. The polypyrrole/invertase and polyamide/polypyrrole/invertase electrodes were constructed by the entrapment of enzyme in conducting matrices during electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole. This study involves the preparation and c...

This paper documents the main results of studies that have been carried out, during a period of more than a decade, at University of Pisa in co-operation with other technical Italian institutions, about models of electrochemical batteries suitable for the use of the electrical engineer, in particular for the analysis of electrical systems with batteries. The problem of simulating electrochemica...

Nowadays glucose detection is of great importance in the fields of biological, environmental, and clinical analyzes. In this research, we report a zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod powder surface-coated with carbon material for non-enzymatic glucose sensor applications through a hydrothermal process and chemical vapor deposition method. A series of tests, including crystallinity analysis, microstructure...
