Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was used to modify BPPG electrode because of its unique structure and extraordinary properties. MWCNT modified electrode exhibited obvious enhancing and electrocatalyzing effects to the oxidation of ascorbic acid using cyclic voltammetry technique. MWCNT was bonded on BPPG electrode surface using carbon paste with ratio of 30% (w/w) carbon paste (binder): 70...

A promising electrochemical sensor was fabricated by the self-assembling of Pt nanoparticles (nano-Pts) on a chitosan (CS) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). A field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrochemical techniques were used for characterization of these composites. It has been found that nano-Pts are inserted into the CS...

The electrochemical behavior of isorhamnetin (ISO) at a glassy carbon electrode was studied in a phosphate buffer solution (PBS) of pH 4.0 by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetric method (DPV). A well-defined redox wave of ISO involving one electrons and one proton appeared. The electrode reaction is a reactant weak adsorption-controlled process with a charge transfer coef...

L-Ascorbic acid (AsA) is known for its reductive properties and for its use on a wide scale as an antioxidant agent in foods and drinks; it is also important for therapeutic purposes and biological metabolism. Therefore, recent advances in the food and pharmaceutical industries and the need for nutritional assessments necessitate the development of a selective, simple and accurate method to det...

A novel electrochemical technique for DNA detection has been developed by a simple combination cisplatin and a glassy carbon electrode. The complexation of cisplatin with DNA caused suppression of the electroreduction of cisplatin owing to the steric hindrance and, subsequently, the electrolytic current for reducing proton that is catalyzed by the platinum deposited on the glassy carbon electro...

A simple and green chemistry protocol has been proposed based on the covalent anchoring of benzamide molecule on glassy carbon spheres through ball milling under solvent free condition. The modification proceeds through the formation of an amide bond between carboxylic group of glassy carbon spheres and the amino group of modifier molecule. The formation of covalent bond was ascertained using X...

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...

A chemically modified carbon paste electrode with 2-chlorobenzoyl ferrocene (2CBF) and carbon nanotube (2CBFCNPE) was employed to study the electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid in aqueous solution using cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The diffusion coefficient (D = 1.42 × 10-6 cm2 s-1), and the kinetic parameter such as ...

Gas-phase modification of glassy carbon (GC) was investigated in an attempt to make a C-H-terminated surface that is resistant to oxidation. By using a hot filament technique, hydrogen radicals were generated from a flow of hydrogen gas, and then the radicals attacked glassy carbon electrode surfaces. The modified glassy carbon surfaces were characterized first by X-ray photoelectron spectrosco...

A stable electroactive thin film of poly(caffeic acid) has been deposited on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode by potentiostatic technique in an aqueous solution containing caffeic acid. The voltammetric behavior of epinephrine (EP) at the poly(caffeic acid) modified glassy carbon electrode was studied by cyclic voltammetry. The poly(caffeic acid) modified electrode exhibited a promotion...
