A cationic surfactant-selective electrode for sensitive analysis of cationic surfactant has been developed by using a plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) membrane based on nanocomposite cation exchanger polypyrrole zirconium titanium phosphate. The electrode is excellently selective for the cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) ion over inorganic ions and other cationic surfactants. The membran...

The electrochemical response of thyroxine (T4) at a carbon paste electrode (CPE) in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was investigated. It gave a well-defined oxidation peak at 0.80 V and a sensitive reduction peak at 0.40 V. Compared with the indiscernible signal in the absence of CTAB, the reduction current of T4 at CPE was greatly enhanced in the presence of CTAB, due to ...

in this work we introduce a practical use of synthesized schiff base metal complex in sensing application. a new perchlorate-selective electrode based on the complex n, n'-4-nitro-phenylmethanebis-(salicylaldiminato) copper (ii) [cul] as the membrane carrier was developed. the electrode exhibits a good  nernstian slope of -55.0 ± 1.0 mv/decade and a linear range of  for perchlorate. the limit o...

a pvc membrane electrode based on 1-[({[(butylsulfunyl)carbothioyl]disulfanyl} carbothioyl)sulfanyl]butane as a suitable ion carrier for determination of lanthanum(iii) ion was prepared. this electrode revealedsuch a good selectivity toward la3+ ion over a wide variety of other metal ions. some experimental parametersuch as membrane composition, nature, and amount of plasticizer, the amount of ...

A hydrogen ion-selective poly(vinyl chloride) membrane electrode was constructed using 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetracyanomethoxycalix[4]arene as a neutral carrier. The electrode showed an apparent Nernstian response in the 2-11.5 pH range with a slope of 54.0 +/- 0.2 mV/pH at 20 +/- degrees C. This electrode showed a rapid response of the emf to changes in the pH, high ion selec...

an enzyme electrode was developed using the enzyme sulfite oxidase (ec1.8.3.1) immobilized onto pig intestine. hydrogen peroxide produced was monitored amperometrically. all experimental parameters such as ph, temperature, buffer constituent concentration, were thoroughly investigated and optimized when appropriate. the response to sulfite concentration was linear in the range 5.2´10-6 to 1.02´...

The macrocyclic ligands 3,8,12,17-tetramethyl-2,18,9,11-bipyridyl-1,4,7,10,13,16hexaazacyclooctadecanetetrahydro bromide has been synthesized and explored as suitable ionophores for chloride selective membrane sensors. It displays Nernstian behavior (59.2 mV decade-1) across the range of 4.1 × 10-8 to 1.0 × 10-2 M. The detection limit of the electrode is ~ 15 nM and the response time and life t...

In this paper, a novel membrane triiodide sensor based on a charge-transfer complex of (1,3-diphenyldihydro-1H-imidazole-4,5-dionedioxime) with iodine (CTCI) as a membrane carrier is introduced. The best performance was obtained with a membrane containing 30% polyvinylchloride (PVC), 63% dibutylphthalate (DBP), 5% CTCI and 2% hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB). The electrode shows a Nern...

A bromide–modified silver electrode is reported, in the present study, to catalyze the redox reactions of metalloproteins. This study describes that the bromide ions show very good redox behavior with silver electrode. The cathodic and anodic peak potentials were related to the concentration of bromide ions involved in making bromide-modified silver electrode. The electrode reaction in the brom...
