A hydrogen ion-selective poly(vinyl chloride) membrane electrode was constructed using 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetracyanomethoxycalix[4]arene as a neutral carrier. The electrode showed an apparent Nernstian response in the 2-11.5 pH range with a slope of 54.0 +/- 0.2 mV/pH at 20 +/- degrees C. This electrode showed a rapid response of the emf to changes in the pH, high ion selec...

This paper describes the design and fabrication of ion-sensing electrochemical paper-based analytical devices (EPADs) in which a miniaturized paper reference electrode is integrated with a small ion-selective paper electrode (ISPE) for potentiometric measurements. Ion-sensing EPADs use printed wax barriers to define electrochemical sample and reference zones. Single-layer EPADs for sensing of c...

Oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) is very important, owing to its use in fuel cells. Modification of electrodes surfaces is an excellent way to decrease the overpotentials as well as to increase the current density of the voltammetric response.pt as most efficient metal catalyst can easily be poisoned by product of oxidation and also it has high cost. In this work an efficient and low cost elect...

In this work, CoMoO4@NiMoO4·xH2O core-shell heterostructure electrode is directly grown on carbon fabric (CF) via a feasible hydrothermal procedure with CoMoO4 nanowires (NWs) as the core and NiMoO4 nanosheets (NSs) as the shell. This core-shell heterostructure could provide fast ion and electron transfer, a large number of active sites, and good strain accommodation. As a result, the CoMoO4@Ni...

carbon paste electrode was modified by disodium 2,4-diamino-7-methylbenzo[g] pteridine-5,10-dioxide to fabricate a sensor for potentiometric determination of vanadyl ion (vo2+) in aqueous medium. the new ligand was synthesized in three steps with high yield. the optimal composition of the carbon paste was made of graphite powder (64.5%), ionophore (16.6%), paraffin oil (17.8%), and sodium tetra...

Sodium ion batteries are attractive due to the abundance of sodium in the earth's crust. Sodium ion is larger than the lithium ion; hence, transforming the understanding emanated from lithium ion battery research into sodium ion battery investigations is not straightforward. However, a successful lithium battery electrode exhibited impressive performance while it was being used as an electrode ...

Lithium ion batteries have been one of the major power supplies for small electronic devices since the last century. However, with the rapid advancement of electronics and the increasing demand for clean sustainable energy, newer lithium ion batteries with higher energy density, higher power density, and better cyclic stability are needed. In addition, newer generations of lithium ion batteries...

The resting membrane potential of the lobster axon becomes 5-8 mv more negative when the temperature of the perfusion solution is increased 10 degrees C. This potential change is about twice that predicted if the axon membrane potential followed that expected for a potassium ion electrode potential. When the inhibitors, 2, 4-dinitrophenol, sodium cyanide, and sodium azide, were added separately...

Globally 30% deaths occur due to Cardio Vascular Diseases(CVD). ECG is one of the way to monitor this circulatory disease. Ag/Agcl Gel based ECG electrodes have their inherent problems, for prolonged continuous monitoring of ECG, connecting to a Cellular Mobile Phone, carried for early warnings. ECG electrodes with solid electrolyte connectable to mobile phones for Digital Signal Processing(DSP...
