In this work a new chemically modified carbon paste electrode was constructed for accurate, simple, sensitive and selective determination of molybdenum (VI) ions. The results of modified electrode by an ion imprinted polymer were compared with those obtained with carbon paste electrode. The results showed the stripping peak currents had a dramatic increase at the modified electrode. Under the o...

Objective: The annual incidence of cancer in the world is growing rapidly. The most important factor in the cure of cancers is their early diagnosis. miRNA, as a biomarker for early detection of cancer, has attracted a lot of attention. Methods: In this study, an electrochemical biosensor was developed to detect the amount of miR-106a, the biomarker of gastric cancer, by modifying a glass...

A new voltammetric sensor for determination of uric acid (UA) by Cuppercomplex- multiwalled carbon nanotube (Cu-complex-CNT) nanocomposite modifiedcarbon paste electrode (CPE) is reported. The electrocatalytic behavior of theCu-complex-CNT nanocomposite modified CPE was studied in pH 2.0 phosphatebuffer solution by chronoamperometry (CA) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) in th...

The anode electrode material is a crucial factor for the overall performance of a microbial fuel cell (MFC). In this study, a plain carbon paper modified with the CNT/MnO2 nanocomposite was used as the anode for the MFC and a mixed culture inoculum was used as the biocatalyst. The modified anode showed better electrochemical performance than that of plain carbon paper, and Brunauer Emmett Telle...

Liquid crystalline cubic phases formed with monoolein and Myverol have been used as matrixes to host a catalytic complex of nickel(II) and 1-hexadecyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane for the reduction of carbon dioxide. The structures of the cubic phases, both with and without the catalyst, were established using small-angle X-ray scattering. The catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide was perf...

A novel chemically modified electrode containing Prussian blue complex was achieved on the surface of glass carbon electrode by sol-gel technique. The electrochemical behavior of modified electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry in detail. The film electrode obtained was very stable and exhibited electrocatalytic response for oxidation of nitrite. Results showed at bare GC electrode, a...

The modification of carbon powder with manganese dioxide using a wet impregnation procedure with electrochemical characterisation of the modified powder is described. The process involves saturation of the carbon powder with manganese(II) nitrate followed by thermal treatment at ca. 773 K leading to formation of manganese(IV) oxide on the surface of the carbon powder. The construction of compos...

a multi-walled carbon nanotube modified paste electrode (mwcn-pe) was used for determination of promethazine (pmz) in drug formulations and blood plasma by cyclic voltammetry (cv) and differential pulse voltammetry (dpv) methods. results revealed that the mwcn-pe shows an electrocatalytic activity toward the anodic oxidation of pmz by a marked enhancement in the current response in buffered sol...
