Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was used to modify BPPG electrode because of its unique structure and extraordinary properties. MWCNT modified electrode exhibited obvious enhancing and electrocatalyzing effects to the oxidation of ascorbic acid using cyclic voltammetry technique. MWCNT was bonded on BPPG electrode surface using carbon paste with ratio of 30% (w/w) carbon paste (binder): 70...

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 simple square-wave adsorptive voltammetric (SWAV) method was developed for determining Captopril (CAP) in pharmaceutical formulations. The proposed method was based on the electrochemical reduction of CAP at a mercury thin film electrode (MTFE). The preparation of the TMFE/Glassy carbon electrode was very simple; also, this electrode had very good reproducibility and regeneration of its surfa...

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 electrochemical behavior of sanguinarine, a quaternary benzophenanthridine glycoside alkaloid with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and/or immune-stimulatory activities, was studied at a glassy carbon electrode using cyclic, differential pulse, and square wave voltammetry. The oxidation of sanguinarine is a quasireversible, diffusion-controlled process and occurred in a cascade...

A chemically modified electrode based on a chitosan-multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT) coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) is described, which exhibits an attractive ability to determine dopamine (DA) and ascorbic acid (AA) simultaneously. The modified electrode exhibited a high differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) current response to DA at 0.144 V and AA at -0.029 V (vs. SCE) in a 0.1 mol l(-1)...

in this paper, multi-wall carbon nanotubes (mwcnts), gold nanoparticles (gnp) and glucose oxidase (god) was developed for the specific detection of glucose. mwcnts were chemically modified with the h2so4–hno3 pretreatment to introduce carboxyl groups which were used to interact with the amino groups of poly(allylamine) (paa) and cysteamine via 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/n-hy...

the electrocatalytic oxidation of captopril (cap) was studied by modified carbon nanotubes paste electrode in the presence of isoproterenol (ispt) using cyclic voltammetry (cv), chronoamperometry and square wave voltammetry (swv). also, the values of catalytic rate constant (k), and electron transfer coefficient (α) for cap were calculated. the mechanism of ca electrochemical behavior at the mo...

polypyrrole (ppy) nanofibers have been fabricated on glassy carbon electrode (gce) usingelectrochemical technique. electropolymerization of pyrrole (py) for the fabrication of ppy nanofiberswas occurred on gce by applying a fixed potential of about 0.85 v for 120 sec in a mild basic solutioncontaining sodium carbonate and sodium perchlorate. in the mild basic media, the monomer, py, isoxidized ...

copper nanoparticles were fabricated by electro-reduction of cuso4solution in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab) cationic surfactant as an additive through potentiostatic method. the prepared copper nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem) and electrochemical methods. the sem images reveal that the nanoparticles with diameters at about 70 n...
