In the present study electrochemical detection of α-lipoic acid (α-LA) was carried out with a poly(Vanillin) modified platinum electrode p(VA)/PtE in Brinton Robinson buffer (BR) solution. The platinum electrode surface’s was modified with cyclic voltammetry method. The prepared Pt electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry in ferrocyanide and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. T...

Hydroquinone was found to suppress bubble formation at the outlet electrode of a sheathless capillary electrophoresis/electrospray ionization-mass spectrometer by replacing the oxidation of water (2H2O(1)<-->O2(g) + 4H+ + 4e) with that of more easily oxidized hydroquinone (hydroquinone<-->p-benzoquinone + 2H+ + 2e). Formation of p-benzoquinone replaces the formation of oxygen gas, effectively s...

326-pg. 1964.-The advantages of a ~-p-diameter platinum cathode in the Clark-type o:xygen electrode are shown to be freedom from effects due to flow, stirring, or mechanical pressure. When used with a .5-mil polyethylene membrane the I-P electrode shows only a 2 ts difference between a vigorously stirred solution and the unstirred solution. A mechanical pressure of 200 psi on the I-P covered el...

In this article electrochemical determination of captopril at the surface of the platinum coated nanoporous gold film (PtNPGF) electrode is reported using the cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. For the preparation of PtNPGF, the surface of NPGF electrode was covered with Cu layer using underpotential electrochemical deposition (UPD).Afterward, the copper layer is replaced with platinum ions vi...

Platinum nanoparticles, which are used as catalysts in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC), tend to degrade after long-term operation. We discriminate the following mechanisms of the degradation: poisoning, migration and coalescence, dissolution, and electrochemical Ostwald ripening. There are two ways to tackle this problem. The first option involves formulation of durable catalyst, wh...

Platinum therapies For half a century, the field of metalbased anticancer drugs has been dominated by the precious metal platinum. The discovery of platinum’s anticancer properties was made by chance during an experiment in 1965, conducted at Michigan State University by Barnett Rosenberg. Rosenberg used a platinum electrode to apply an electric field to a colony of E. coli, which was observed ...

In this study a simple, highly sensitive, and selective electrochemical method was developed for determination of the low concentration curcumin (CUR) using a poly(vanillin-co-caffeic acid) p(Van-CA) modified platinum electrode. Electrode modification was carried out electrochemically with cyclic voltammetry (CV) method. For this purpose; a solution of 6 mM vanillin (Van) and 6 mM caff...

In this study, the electrochemical mechanism of catechol in presence and absence of nitrite ion, is investigated in phosphate buffer medium (pH=7) using platinum electrode through cyclic voltammetry method in various scan rates. Electrochemical oxidation of catechol showed how quinone has changed to o-benzoquinone and also how o-benzoquinone has reacted with nitrite ion and potential scan rate ...
