This work deals with the formation of supramolecular complexes between ascorbic acid (AA), the guest, and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), the host, that was first potentiodynamically immobilized on the surface of a carbon paste electrode (CPE) throughout the formation of a β-CD-based conducting polymer (poly-β-CD). With the bare CPE and the β-CD-modified CPE, an electrochemical study was performed to un...

Carbon nanotubes are of great interest due to their high surface area and rich edge sites, which are favorable for wide applications. Here, a simple and efficient routine is presented by decoration of multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) with nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles.The morphologies of NiO-MWCNT  were  investigated  by  using scanning  electron  microscope  (SEM)  and energydispersive X-...

A novel modified Ni-ZSM-5 nanozeolite was fabricated via an organic template-free hydrothermal route. The average particle size of Ni-ZSM-5 nanozeolite was calculated to be 85 nm by scanning electronic microscopy. Then, Carbon paste electrode (CPE) was modified by Ni-ZSM-5 nanozeolite and Ni2+ ions were then incorporated to the nanozeolite matrix. Electrochemical behavior of this electrode was ...

This work presents a sensitive method for the determination of trace antimony based on the antimony-pyrogallol red (PGR) adsorption at a carbon paste electrode (CPE). The optimal conditions were to use an electrode containing 25% paraffin oil and 75% high purity graphite powder as working electrode, a 0.10 mol/L HCl solution containing 3.0×10 mol/L PGR as accumulation medium and a 0.20 mol/L HC...

In this research, quantities of carbon nanospheres (CNSs) were prepared with a convenient and low cost method at atmospheric pressure and functionalized with the xanthate group in a simple way. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In addition, the c...

The electrochemical properties of uric acid (UA) were determined by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave (SWV) at a carbon paste electrode modified with aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3NP/CPE) in 0.05 M pH 5.0 phosphate buffer. adsorption the molecule on Al2O3NP/CPE investigated number electrons transferred reaction was calculated. A new voltammetric method for determination UA human seru...

A new carbon paste electrode (CPE) for the determination of iodide ion based on a cetyltrimethylammonium iodide (CTMAI) ion pair as an electroactive material is described. The electrode shows a linear response for iodide ion over the concentration range of 4 x 10(-5) M to 1 x 10(-1) M with a lower detection limit of 4 x 10(-5) M at 25 degrees C. The electrode has a Nemstian slope of -55.0 +/- 0...

The precise roles of hypoxia in the initiation and progression of kidney disease remain unresolved. A major technical limitation has been the absence of methods allowing long-term measurement of kidney tissue oxygen tension (Po₂) in unrestrained animals. We developed a telemetric method for the measurement of kidney tissue Po₂ in unrestrained rats, using carbon paste electrodes (CPEs). After ac...
