A simple and selective carbon paste electrode has been developed for the electrochemicaldetermination of acyclovir (ACV). This electrode was designed by incorporation of multiwalledcarbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and ZnO nanoparticles into the carbon paste matrix,and then poly (o-aminophenol; OAP) film were subsequently electropolymerized on it. Thesurface structure of nanoparticles were characterize...

In this study, the electrocatalytic activity of the Co@Pt core-shell nanoparticles toward the ethanol oxidation reaction has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry in acidic and alkaline media in details. The physicochemical data obtained in alkaline solution are compared to those in acidic solution. The obtained results demonstrate that while in the both media Co@Pt core...

In this work, a simple and sensitive electrochemical method was developed to determine Sudan I by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry using a glassy carbon electrode modified with a chitosan/carbon nanotube composite. In cyclic voltammetry, Sudan I exhibited a well-defined oxidation peak located at 0.72 V at the multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/chitosan-modified GCE. The d...

The modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was prepared with 6-amino-4-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-methyl-1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole-5-carbonitrile (pyrazole derivative (AMPC)) and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes. In this research, electrocatalytic activity of nanocomposite (AMPC/MWCNTs) has been studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and chronoa...

Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) such as silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) have shown promise as electrode materials for rechargeable Li-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to the synergy between their disordered carbon phase and hybrid bonds of silicon with oxygen and carbon. This study describes the synthesis and characterization of a new type of PDC composite comprising SiOC embedded with varying wt% of boron...

Herein, we reported for the first time one step procedure for the preparation of cytochrome c (cyt c)-poly (5-amino-2-napthalenesulfonic acid) (PANS)modified glassy carbon electrode by cyclic voltammetrically (CV). Hereafter, we called the above modified electrode as cyt c-PANS electrode. The presence of cyt c on m co m vailable online 8 August 2008

0A thin film of cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF), an analogue of mixed-valence Prussian blue, was deposited electrochemically on the glassy carbon, platinum and gold electrode surfaces in 0.5M KC1 solution. The electrochemical behavior of these modified electrodes show three couples of redox peaks by CV in a supporting electrolyte solution of 0.5M NaCl, whereas for Au modified electrode only ...

A carbon sphere-modified glass carbon electrode was prepared by employing cyclohexanol as a solvent to disperse the carbon spheres efficiently. The resulting electrode exhibits excellent sensitivity to cadmium(II), and a detection limit of 10(-10) mol/L has been obtained, which is one order of magnitude lower than those obtained by other electrodes. Along with immunity from interference of othe...

A sensitive and selective amperometric procedure, based on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with a thin multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) film, for the determination of ascorbic acid (AA) was developed. The modified electrode showed excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of AA. The oxidation potential of AA shifted negatively by as much as 460 mV to –18 mV (vs. SCE) a...
