A surface plasmon resonance imaging system combined with a multielement electrode array is described. An optical system with shaping optics is used to direct a wedge of light onto a gold-coated sample. The reflected light is detected in the form of an angle-spread image of the surface, with one direction denoting a variable incident angle and the other showing a span of locations along one late...

Electron transport and recombination in three-dimensionally-ordered (3D-ordered) structure electrodes were investigated using intensity-modulated photocurrent and photovoltage spectroscopy. The surface-modified TiO2 inverse opal structure was applied as a 3D electrode. The morphology, crystalline structure and surface states of the 3D-ordered structure were characterized by SEM, TEM and XPS and...

Discomfort experienced during surface functional electrical stimulation (FES) is thought to be partly a result of localized high current density in the skin underneath the stimulating electrode. This article describes a finite element (FE) model to predict skin current density distribution in the region of the electrode during stimulation and its application to the identification of electrode p...

In the present study, a new chemically modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) is constructed for rapid, accurate, simple, highly sensitive, and selective determination of Mo (VI) using differential pulse voltammetry. The electrode was prepared using magnetic nickel zinc ferrite nanocomposite (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4), as the modifier in CPE (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4/CPE). Mo (VI) was determined after preconcentr...

In this work, for the first time, a new and effective bulk modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) was prepared by TiO2 nanoparticles and chitosan and then Ni2+ ions were incorporated to this electrode by immersion of the modified electrode in nickel chloride solution. The values of electron transfer coefficient, charge-transfer rate constant and electrode surface coverage f...

We have electronically wired the cytochrome P450 BM3 heme domain to a graphite electrode with the use of a pyrene-terminated tether. AFM images clearly reveal that pyrene-wired enzyme molecules are adsorbed to the electrode surface. The enzyme-electrode system undergoes rapid and reversible electron transfer, displaying a standard rate constant higher than that of any other P450-electrode syste...

Dielectric interface would be formed on the electrode surface during the analysis or disposal of many phenolic compounds due to electro-polymerization. This could cause electrode passivation, also called electrode fouling, which is indicated by the continuously decaying current signal. This paper proposed a model based on the potential drop across the fouling layer, which is helpful for deep un...
