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...

a sodium dodecyl sulfate modified carbon paste electrode (sds/cpe) was developed in this work based on the surface modification method. the modified electrode was prepared by immersing sds/cpe in a nickel nitrate solution. this electrode showed a strong accumulation ability toward nickel ions. then modified electrode was conditioned by potential recycling in a potential range of 0.2–0.8 v (vs. ...

In this work, for the first time, a new and effective bulk modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) was prepared by TiO2 nanoparticles and chitosan and then Ni2+ ions were incorporated to this electrode by immersion of the modified electrode in nickel chloride solution. The values of electron transfer coefficient, charge-transfer rate constant and electrode surface coverage f...

We have carried out comparative studies on transparent conductive thin films made with two kinds of commercial carbon nanotubes: HiPCO and arc-discharge nanotubes. These films have been further exploited as hole-injection electrodes for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) on both rigid glass and flexible substrates. Our experiments reveal that films based on arc-discharge nanotubes are overwh...

The effects of AC field strength and AC frequency on the density of dielectrophoretically deposited multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were investigated and explained in terms of existing theory. We show that while both parameters can be used to control deposition density, the experimentally observed frequency trend can not be explained by the theoretical Clausius–Mossotti factors. We demon...

A chemically modified carbon paste electrode with 2-chlorobenzoyl ferrocene (2CBF) and carbon nanotube (2CBFCNPE) was employed to study the electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid in aqueous solution using cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The diffusion coefficient (D = 1.42 × 10-6 cm2 s-1), and the kinetic parameter such as ...

Nowadays, modified electrodes with metal nanoparticles have appeared as an alternative for the electroanalysis of various compounds. In this study, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were chosen as interesting metal nanoparticles for modifying of carbon paste electrode (CPE). GNPs and the gold nanoparticles-modified carbon paste electrode (GNPs/CPE) were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmissio...

A new and simple approach for carbaryl determination in natural sample was proposed using Low Silica X (LSX) zeolite modified carbon paste electrode. LSX zeolite with a porous structure was incorporated into carbon paste electrode in the appropriate portion. The prepared electrode was then characterized using scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectro...
