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...

A chemically modified carbon paste electrode with 2-chlorobenzoyl ferrocene (2CBF) and carbon nanotube (2CBFCNPE) was employed to study the electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid in aqueous solution using cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The diffusion coefficient (D = 1.42 × 10-6 cm2 s-1), and the kinetic parameter such as ...

A new and simple approach for carbaryl determination in natural sample was proposed using Low Silica X (LSX) zeolite modified carbon paste electrode. LSX zeolite with a porous structure was incorporated into carbon paste electrode in the appropriate portion. The prepared electrode was then characterized using scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectro...

The agricultural use of organophosphorus pesticides is a widespread practice with significant advantages in crop health and product yield. An undesirable consequence the contamination soil groundwater by these neurotoxins resulting from over application run-off. Here, we design synthesize mononuclear zinc(II) complexes, namely, [Zn(AMB)2Cl](ClO4) 1 [Zn(AMB)2(OH)](ClO4) 2 (AMB = 2-aminomethylben...

As electrode materials for analytical applications, carbon-based electrodes have been widely employed as detectors for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), capillary electrophoresis (CE) and various biosensors. Carbon materials usually shows wider potential window compared with those of novel metals such as platinum and gold electrode. These electrodes are chemically stable, highly co...

A carbon Paste electrode modified with cobalt (II) phthalocyanine (CoPC) was used as a sensitive potentiometric sensor for determination of ascorbic acid in aqueous solutions. The potential response of the electrode is a linear function of ascorbic acid concentration over the range 5 10 to 10 M (?1- 1800 µg ML ) with a Nernstian slope of 56 mV at pH 7. The limit of detection was 0.2 µg ...

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disease characterized by an inability to metabolize the amino acid l-phenylalanine. The resulting buildup leads to brain damage and ultimately mental retardation in children if their phenylalanine intake is not carefully controlled. The National Institutes of Health recently suggested that people with PKU monitor their phenylalanine levels throughout their life and be...

This study compares between unmodified carbon paste (CPE; the paste has no ion pair) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane selective electrodes that were used in potentiometric determination of ketotifen fumarate (KTF), where sodium tetraphenylborate (NaTPB) was used as titrant. The performance characteristics of these sensors were evaluated according to IUPAC recommendations which reveal a fas...

An amperometric xanthine biosensor was developed based on the immobilization of xanthine oxidase (XO) into the Fe3O4 nanoparticles modified carbon paste. Electron transfer properties of unmodified and Fe3O4 nanoparticles modified carbon paste electrodes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Fe3O4 nanoparticles increased electroactive surface area of...
