1 Energy storage is an essential element of the complete landscape of energy processes, closely coupled with energy generation, transmission and usage. Development of lithium-based rechargeable batteries with higher energy density, lower costs and improved safety is highly desirable1–3. Over the past 25 years, lithiumion batteries based on conventional intercalation electrode materials have pla...

the voltammetric performance of edge-plane pyrolytic graphite (epg) electrode via adsorptive stripping voltammetry was investigated for study of the electrochemical behavior of omeprazole (omz) in aqueous solution. the results revealed that the oxidation of omz is an irreversible ph-dependent process that proceeds with the transfer of one electron and one proton in an adsorption-controlled mech...

in order to study the cu(ii) ion selective electrode, an optimized membrane was prepared by mixing of 30 mg of pvc powdered, 5 mg of considered ionophore, 60 mg of plasticizer and 5 mg of additive. the sensor showed a near nernstian response for cu(ii) ions over a concentration range from 1.0×0-6 –1.0×0-2 m with a slope of 28.90.5 mv per concentration decade with a working ph range of 3.5-6.3. ...

a sensor, based on multi-wall carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (mwcnt/gce), was developed for determination of fenitrothion. determining the surface area of mwcnt/gce showed that this surface is three times more active than that of a glassy carbon electrode. the experimental parameters, such as the amount of mwcnts, ph of the fenitrothion solution, preconcentration potential an...

Many cosubstrates for the peroxidase activity of prostaglandin H synthase-1 (PGHS-1) have been reported to produce a large (2-7-fold) increase in the cyclooxygenase velocity in addition to a substantial increase in the number of cyclooxygenase catalytic turnovers. The large stimulation of cyclooxygenase velocity has become an important criterion for evaluation of putative PGHS reaction mechanis...

Intercalation chemistry has dominated electrochemical energy storage for decades, and capacity worldwide now reached the terawatt-hour level. State-of-the-art intercalation cathodes Li-ion batteries operate within limits of transition metal cation electrochemistry, but discovery anion-redox processes in recent decades suggests rich opportunities substantially increasing stored densities. The di...

glassy carbon (gc) is the most commonly used carbon-based electrode in the analytical laboratory. because of the high background current and low electrode response, modification of this electrode can be done by various materials and techniques. an ionic liquid (il), 1-methyl-3-(3-trimethoxysilyl propyl) imidazoliumbis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide, was covalently cross linked onto the gc surf...

a pvc-based membrane containing cerium phosphate was developed. unlike the cerium phosphate itself that acts as a cation exchanger, the membrane exhibited anion-exchange properties. therefore, the utility of this compound as a sensory element for detection of molybdate ions was pursued. the response of molybdate selective electrode based on this membrane was perfectly linear in the concentratio...
