Rate data for electrochemical and homogeneous redox reactions involving R u , ~ + / ~ + , V,q3+/2+, Fe,q3+/2+, E u , ~ ~ + / ~ + , and Cr,2+/2+ redox couples (where "aq" represents aquo ligands) have been analyzed and compared by using the rate relations due to Marcus in order to ascertain how the kinetics of outer-sphere electron exchange are dependent upon the metal redox center. The work-cor...

A signal registration strategy from micropatterned immunosensors that converts antigen-antibody binding reactions into electrochemical signals was demonstrated. An array-type micropatterned gold electrode on a silicon wafer was fabricated, containing two electrode geometries of rectangular (100 microm x 500 microm) and circular (r. 50 microm) types, exhibiting electrochemical characteristics of...

In the current work, graphene oxide (GO) samples were prepared at room temperature from graphite flakes using a modified Hummer's method to produce metal-free electrocatalysts. The effect of the duration of the oxidation process on the structural, chemical and physical characteristics of the GO samples was evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ...

We describe a new approach for reagentless electrochemical immunoassay sensing in which Au/Pd NPs can be "loaded" onto antibodies to create an electrocatalytic antibody that is sensitive to the oxygen reduction reaction.

A new type of voltage-responsive comb-like superamphiphilic block polymer PEG113-b-PAA30/FTMA was prepared by the electrostatic interactions of an ionic ferrocenyl surfactant (FTMA) and an oppositely charged double-hydrophilic block polyelectrolyte poly-(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(acrylic acid) (PEG113-b-PAA30) in aqueous solution. An in situ electrochemical redox system was designed to research i...

The electrolysis of toluate esters leads smoothly to the formation of the radical of the alkyl fragment. This property has been used to develop a new electrochemical deoxygenation reaction.

The influence of electrode surface structure on electrochemical reaction rates and mechanisms is a major theme in electrochemical research, especially as electrodes with inherent structural heterogeneities are used ubiquitously. Yet, probing local electrochemistry and surface structure at complex surfaces is challenging. In this paper, high spatial resolution scanning electrochemical cell micro...

LiMnPO4 with a morphology controlled by carbonate anions was prepared via a simple template-free hydrothermal reaction; the LiMnPO4 shows a promising electrochemical activity as cathode material for lithium ion batteries.

A strategy for the electrochemical detection of DNA based on catalytic hairpin assembly combined with nanocatalyst label-based redox cycling reaction signal amplification. A superior detection limit of 0.3 aM toward DNA can be achieved.
