A novel electrochemical sensor poly(taurine)/TiO2-graphene nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (PT/TiO2-Gr/GCE) was fabricated. This sensor was based on an electrochemically polymerized taurine layer on a TiO2-graphene modified glassy carbon electrode. The electrochemical behavior of acetaminophen and caffeine at the modified electrode was studied by cyclic voltammetry and differenti...

OBJECTIVE Needle-implantable sensors have shown to provide reliable continuous glucose monitoring for diabetes management. In order to reduce tissue injury during sensor implantation, there is a constant need for device size reduction, which imposes challenges in terms of sensitivity and reliability, as part of decreasing signal-to-noise and increasing layer complexity. Herein, we report sensit...

Gallic acid (GA) is the main phenolic antioxidant which has been subjected of many studies because of its important biological properties including anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities as well as free radicals scavenger and cardiovascular diseases protector. Hereupon, fabricating a selective and sensitive sensor for GA detection and measurement is an important issue. In th...

Zinc oxide nanoflower (ZnONF) was synthesized by a simple process and was used to construct a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for the detection of sunset yellow (SY). Due to the large surface area and high accumulation efficiency of ZnONF, the ZnONF-modified carbon paste electrode (ZnONF/CPE) showed a strong enhancement effect on the electrochemical oxidation of SY. The electrochemical ...

The demands for electrochemical sensor materials with high strength and durability in physiological conditions continue to grow and novel approaches are being enabled by the advent of new electromaterials and novel fabrication technologies. Herein, we demonstrate a probe-style electrochemical sensor using highly flexible and conductive multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) yarns. The MWNT yarn-b...

The development and application of nanowires for electrochemical sensors and biosensors are reviewed in this article. Next generation sensor platforms will require significant improvements in sensitivity, specificity and parallelism in order to meet the future needs in variety of fields. Sensors made of nanowires exploit some fundamental nanoscopic effect in order to meet these requirements. Na...

Films of conducting polymers can be oxidized and reduced in a reversible way. Any intermediate oxidation state determines an electrochemical equilibrium. Chemical or physical variables acting on the film may modify the equilibrium potential, so that the film acts as a sensor of the variable. The working potential of polypyrrole/DBSA (Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid) films, oxidized or reduced under...

A rapid electrochemical technique was developed to determine 8-Hydroxyquinoline (8HQ). In the current study, the anionic surfactant Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) was immobilized on the multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) paste surface for the fabrication of electrode to detect 8HQ in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) of pH 7.0. The response of SLS modified carbon nanotube paste electrode (SLSMCNTP...
