A novel micro-needle sensor based on gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) immobilized with conducting polymer film poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT-PSS) was fabricated for determination of iron in coastal waters. The unique aciform structure the electrode (MNE) provided larger specific surface area than common electrodes. modification MNE PEDOT-PSS improved conductiv...

In this paper, multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), gold nanoparticles (GNp) and glucose oxidase (GOD) was developed for the specific detection of glucose. MWCNTs were chemically modified with the H2SO4–HNO3 pretreatment to introduce carboxyl groups which were used to interact with the amino groups of poly(allylamine) (PAA) and cysteamine via 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/N-hy...

In this study, pencil graphite electrode was modified using conductive polypyrrole (Ppy) and grapheme (GF) nanocomposite for electrochemical determination of insulin. Electrochemical behavior of insulin on PGE was investigated using cyclic voltammetric (CV) and differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) and chronoaprometry (CA) methods. Several effective parameters including pH, concentration, and s...

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...

We have measured the conductance of single peptides covalently bonded to two Au electrodes via S-Au bonds by repeatedly forming a large number of molecular junctions. The conductance decreases exponentially with the peptide length, with a decay constant of beta = 0.9 +/- 0.1 A-1, suggesting that tunneling is the mechanism of electron transport in the peptides. The conductance of the peptides is...

Here, in this work we have designed a molecular bridge structure which can be used as a spin filter where the prototypical highly ferromagnetic m-phenylene connected bis(aminoxyl) diradical is used as a bridging fragment between two semi-infinitely widened gold (Au) electrodes along the [100] direction. A state-of-the-art non-equilibrium Green function's (NEGF) method coupled with the density f...
