Developing simple, sensitive and selective sensing systems for dopamine is important due to its biological significance. In this work, a silver nanoparticles-modified carbon paste electrode (AgNPs-CPE) has been constructed and used to detect of dopamine (DA) in the simultaneous presence of ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) at neutral pH 7.0 by cyclic voltammetry. The modified electrode show...

We studied the direct electron transfer (DET) of proteins on a carbon nanofiber (CNF) modified carbon film electrode by employing the one-step UV/ozone treatment of CNF. This treatment changed the CNF surface from hydrophobic to hydrophilic because a sufficient quantity of oxygen functional groups was introduced onto the CNF surface. Furthermore, this simple approach increased both the effectiv...

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 the catalytic rate constant (k = ...

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...

The electrochemistry of horse heart cytochrome c was studied by cyclic voltammetry at a glassy carbon electrode modified with single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). A pair of well-defined redox waves was obtained in cytochrome c aqueous solution at an activated SWNT film-modified electrode. The optimal conditions for activating the SWNT film-modified electrode has been determined. The electrode ...

An analytical method has been described for the determination of mercury using a carbon paste electrode. Conditions for the preparation of the carbon paste electrode were optimized for low background current in order to use it for the determination of ultra trace levels of mercury. The carbon paste electrode was found to be a good electrode material for the determination of mercury. The optimiz...

Surface oxidized carbon vulcane XC-72 is prepared as catalyst support and platinumnanoparticles are chemically anchored onto the modified surface. The nanoparticles of Pt weresynthesized by reduction of H2PtCl6 with sodium borohydride in a 5.5 M buffer solution ofsodium citrate; the complexation of citrate with metal ions is beneficial to the formation ofnanoparticles. The electro-oxidation of ...

Dopamine, uric acid and ascorbic acid have been determined simultaneously on a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) modified electrode using electrochemical techniques. On a bare glassy carbon electrode, all three undergo oxidation and appear as a single peak at around 200 mV, whereas on the modified electrode, distinct peaks with clear potential separation are observed, paving way for their simult...

A trifunctional electrochemical sensor was fabricated for simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid (AA), levodopa (LD), and insulin. This was done by modifying a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with multi-walled carbon nanotubes and reactive blue 19 (RB-MWCNT-GCE). Cyclic voltammetry was used to investigate the redox properties of this modified electrode. The electro-catalytic activity of the ...
