The electrocatalytic oxidation of L-tyrosine was investigated on a gold nanoparticles self-assembled glassy carbon electrode (gold nanoparticles/cysteamine/glassy carbon) using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. Cyclic voltammetry was carried out to study the electrochemical oxidation mechanism of L-tyrosine, which showed an irreversible oxidation process at a potential of 0...

Benznidazole is a drug used commonly as a therapeutic agent against Chagas' disease in Brazil. To clarify the cytotoxic action of benznidazole the electrochemical reduction of benznidazole has been investigated using a DNA-electrochemical biosensor, prepared by modification of a glassy carbon electrode with DNA, and the results compared with reduction at a bare glassy carbon electrode. The depe...

A promising electrochemical sensor was fabricated by the self-assembling of Pt nanoparticles (nano-Pts) on a chitosan (CS) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). A field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrochemical techniques were used for characterization of these composites. It has been found that nano-Pts are inserted into the CS...

In the present study, Nickel-Copper nanoparticles were electrodeposited on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by using electroplating deposition method.

Results showed that Ni-Cu nanoparticles with a high density are distributed at the surface of the glassy carbon electrode. Subsequentl...

The present work describes the construction of a new modified electrode by casting the appropriate mixture of a metallocene, which has been introduced in the experimental part, as a mediator at the surface of glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The proposed modified GC electrode was used for the determination of ascorbic acid (AA) in phosphate buffer (PB) solution (pH = 4.0). When compared to bare GC...

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes were used to modify the surface of a glassy carbon electrode to enhance its electroactivity. Nafion served to immobilise the carbon nanotubes on the electrode surface. The modified electrode was used to develop an analytical method for the analysis of ascorbic acid (AA) by square-wave voltammetry (SWV). The oxidation of ascorbic acid at the modified glassy carbon el...

0a thin film of cobalt hexacyanoferrate (cohcf), an analogue of mixed-valence prussian blue, was deposited electrochemically on the glassy carbon, platinum and gold electrode surfaces in 0.5m kc1 solution. the electrochemical behavior of these modified electrodes show three couples of redox peaks by cv in a supporting electrolyte solution of 0.5m nacl, whereas for au modified electrode only one...

Gas-phase modification of glassy carbon (GC) was investigated in an attempt to make a C-H-terminated surface that is resistant to oxidation. By using a hot filament technique, hydrogen radicals were generated from a flow of hydrogen gas, and then the radicals attacked glassy carbon electrode surfaces. The modified glassy carbon surfaces were characterized first by X-ray photoelectron spectrosco...

A simple approach based on cyclic voltammetry (CV) was developed for the simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA) in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) using a modified glassy carbon paste electrode (GCPE). In the present study, analytical parameters were optimized and electrochemical performance of modified electrode was investigated. The calibration curves were obtained ...

Modification of carbon materials, especially graphene-based materials, has wide applications in electrochemical detection such as electrochemical lab-on-chip devices. A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with chemically alternated graphene oxide was used as a working electrode (glassy carbon modified by graphene oxide with sulphur containing compounds and Nafion) for detection of nucleobase...
