Gas diffusion electrode was used for providing better conditions in fuel cell systems for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Because the slow kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction at the proton exchange membrane fuel cell cathode restricts fuel cell efficiency. To this end, researchers have used platinum-coated carbon. In the present study, due to the reduction of carbon corrosion, Zinc oxide...

In this work we report preparation TiO2 hollow spheres and its application as an electrochemical sensor. Therefore the novel carbon paste electrode modified with TiO2 hollow spheres (TOHS), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and poly-glutamic acid (PGA) film (PGA/TOHS/MWCNTs/CPE) was used for simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA) and piroxicam (PRX) in the presence of ascorbic acid (A...

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...

Supercapacitors are electrochemical energy-storage devices that exploit the electrostatic interaction between high-surface-area nanoporous electrodes and electrolyte ions. Insight into the molecular mechanisms at work inside supercapacitor carbon electrodes is obtained with (13)C and (11)B ex situ magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS-NMR). In activated carbons soaked with an ele...

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are one of the most widely used nonmaterials. It is applied in various fields due to its special physical characteristics, excellent electronic performance and stable chemical activity. There are two types of CNT occur (a) Single walled carbon nanotube (b) Multiwalled carbon nanotube. As their names shows, SWNTs consist of a single, cylindrical graphene layer, where as MW...

Biomass materials are promising precursors for the production of carbonaceous materials due to their abundance, low cost and renewability. Here, a freestanding wrinkled carbon membrane (WCM) electrode material for flexible supercapacitors (SCs) was obtained from flower petal. The carbon membrane was fabricated by a simple thermal pyrolysis process and further activated by heating the sample in ...

ronment, the determination of trace Hg(II) is important. Atomic absorpt ion and inductively coupled plasma spectroscopic methods are currently widely used. Many publications on this subject focus on electrochemical methods (anodic and potentiometric stripping voltammetry) at a variety of electrode materials. Glassy carbon, goldplated glassy carbon, screen-printed carbon, platinum (Pt) and gold ...

a carbon-paste electrode (cpe) chemically modified with the n-4,4'-azodianiline(ferrocenyl schiff base) complex and multi wall carbon nanotubes (adafcnte) was used as a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for determination of trace amounts of atenolol. the oxidation peak potentials in cyclic voltammogram of adafcnte occurred around 550 mv vs ag/agcl (at ph 6.0) while this peak potentia...

Electrochemical oxidation of quercetin, as an important biological molecule, has been studied in non-aqueous media using cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. To investigate the electrochemical properties of quercetin, an important flavonoid derivative, on a different surface, a new glassy carbon electrode has been developed using dithiooxa...
