An attractive electrochemical sensor of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/reduced graphene oxide electrode (PrGO) was developed for an electrochemical technique for uric acid (UA) detection in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA). PrGO composite film showed an improved electrocatalytic activity towards UA oxidation in pH 6.0 (0.1 M PBS). The PrGO composite exhibited a high current signal and low c...

Herein the modifications of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with palladium nanoparticles and a palladium film are reported. The response to hydrogen peroxide on the modified electrode was examined using cyclic voltammetry and amperometry (at –0.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode in the phosphate buffer solution, pH 7.4). The palladium film and palladium nanoparticle-modified GCE showed a linea...

The present work describes the construction of a new modified electrode by casting the appropriate mixture of a metallocene, which has been introduced in the experimental part, as a mediator at the surface of glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The proposed modified GC electrode was used for the determination of ascorbic acid (AA) in phosphate buffer (PB) solution (pH = 4.0). When compared to bare GC...

A DNA/chitosan-Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticle bio-complex film was constructed for the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on a glassy carbon electrode. HRP was simply mixed with DNA, chitosan and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles, and then applied to the electrode surface to form an enzyme-incorporated polyion complex film. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to study the surface features of...

The redox activity of a chitin film on a glassy carbon electrode was remarkably improved by the addition of carbon powder to the film in the detection of ascorbic acid, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). Although oxidation of ascorbic acid using the electrode with the chitin film did not give an appreciable voltametric response, the addition of carbo...

Voltammetric detection of biological molecules was carried out using chopped carbon fibers produced from carbon fiber reinforced plastics that are biocompatible and inexpensive. Because chopped carbon fibers normally are covered with a sizing agent, they are difficult to use as an electrode. However, when the surface of a chopped carbon fiber was treated with ethanol and hydrochloric acid, it b...

The reduction process for some quinones has been studid by cyclic voltammeby, rotating disk electrode voltammetry and chronopotentiometry in chloroform at platinum, gold and glassy carbon electrodes using tetrabutylmonium perchlorate (TB AP) as supporting eiectrolyte. The results obtained from this study reveal that the reduction of the quinones is two one-electron processes, the first redu...

0A thin film of cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF), an analogue of mixed-valence Prussian blue, was deposited electrochemically on the glassy carbon, platinum and gold electrode surfaces in 0.5M KC1 solution. The electrochemical behavior of these modified electrodes show three couples of redox peaks by CV in a supporting electrolyte solution of 0.5M NaCl, whereas for Au modified electrode only ...
