The electrochemical deposition of polyaniline nanofibers and nanoparticles have been investigated on gold electrodes by cyclic voltammetry and their morphology by high resolution scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The type and dimensions of the nanostructures obtained depend on deposition conditions such as monomer concentration, scan rate and electrical potential. We hav...

Detailed analysis of the voltammetry of decamethylferrocene at micro and macrodisc electrodes has been carried out in scCO2/MeCN (15 wt%), 20 mM [NBu(n)4][BF4] and 309 K and 17.5 MPa. A passivating film needs to be removed from platinum electrodes before stable, reproducible voltammetry can be obtained. At low concentrations (0.22 mM) reversible 1e(-) behaviour is observed. Significant effects ...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) modified DNA based biosensors were prepared by immobilizing dsDNA over MWCNT coated graphite electrode. The film forming abilities of MWCNT coated graphite electrodes were studied using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) by placing the electrodes in electrolyte containing redox couple. Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DP...

Development of an in situ technique for measuring electrochemical impedance spectra in real time during an electrochemical experiment is described. The technique is based on staircase voltammetry with relatively large step heights, in which a series of increasing potential steps are applied to an electrochemical system, and the resulting currents are sampled. The first derivatives of the curren...

We report direct electrochemistry of the iNOS heme domain in a DDAB film on the surface of a basal plane graphite electrode. Cyclic voltammetry reveals FeIII/II and FeII/I couples at -191 and -1049 mV (vs Ag/AgCl). Imidazole and carbon monoxide in solution shift the FeIII/II potential by +20 and +62 mV, while the addition of dioxygen results in large catalytic waves at the onset of FeIII reduct...

In this research work, electrochemical biosensor was fabricated based on immobilization of tyrosinase onto graphene-decorated gold nanoparticle/chitosan (Gr-Au-Chit/Tyr) nanocomposite-modified screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) for the detection of phenolic compounds. The nanocomposite film was constructed via solution casting method. The electrocatalytic activity of the proposed biosensor ...

A novel experimental methodology based on a Prussian blue (PB) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) was developed for use in a label-free amperometric immunosensor for the sensitive detection of human immunoglobulin G (HIgG) as a model protein. The CILE was fabricated by using the ionic liquid 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate as binder. Con...

Due to their unique physicochemical properties, carbon nanochips (CNCs) have been used for studies of the direct electrochemical and electrocatalytic properties of oxidoreductase. In this report, a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with CNCs, and glucose oxidase (GOx) was immobilized on the modified electrode surface. Chitosan (CS) was employed to fix the GOx/CNCs tightly to the surfac...

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...
