A PVC membrane Ni(II) ion selective electrode has been constructed using (1E,2E)-bis(2-aminophenyl)N'1,N'2-dihydroxyethanebis as membrane carrier. The electrode exhibited a goodpotentiometric response for Ni(II) over a wide concentration range 1.0×10-4 to 1.0×10-1M with aslope of 29.4±0.5 mV/decade a and a working pH range of 6.5-9.0. It had a fast response time of≤20s. The best performance was...

An immunosensing device, comprising a lipid membrane incorporating ion channels tethered to the surface of a gold electrode, has been reported [Cornell, Braach-Maksvytis, King, Osman, Raguse, Wieczorek and Pace (1997) Nature (London) 387, 580-583]. The present article describes key steps in the assembly of the device and provides further evidence for its proposed sensing mechanism.

A PVC membrane Cr(III) ion selective electrode has been constructed using 2H-1,4-benzothioazine-2,3(4H)dione dioxime (BTD) as membrane carrier. The influence of membrane composition on the electroderesponse was studied. The electrode exhibits a Nernstian response over a Cr(III) concentration range of 1.0 x10 6 to 1.0>< 10-1 M (r = 0.99) with a slope of 19.5 ± 0.5 mV per decade of concentration,...

A biofuel cell is a device for converting chemical energy to electrical energy by a simple way. A high-impact anode is prepared in this research. Here, carboxylated multiwall carbon nanotube (COOH-MWCNT), polydiallyldimethyl ammonium chloride (PDDA) and alcohol dehydrogenase were cast on modified glassy carbon with polymethylene green to construct the bioanode for ...

In this work, we investigated the influence of catalyst supports, particularly Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) surface area support materials, on membrane electrode assembly (MEA) performance. Keeping anode layer (CL), membrane, Pt loading, operating condition unchanged, prepared cathode CLs using catalysts identical content (30 wt% Pt) which were supported carbon black materials having diff...

a new schiff base 2-aminothiophenol furfural self assembled monolayer (sam) has been fabricated on a bare gold electrode as a novel sensor for determination of dopamine. electrochemical impedance spectroscopywas utilized to investigate the properties of the au 2-aminothiophenol furfural self assembled monolayermodified electrode (au atf sam-me) using the [fe(cn)6]3-/4- redox couple. the electro...

In this article, one-phase and three dimensional computational fluid dynamics analysis was utilized to investigate the effect of annular field pattern of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) with different geometry on the performances and species distribution. This computational fluid dynamics code is used for solving the equation in single domain namely the flow field, the mass conserva...

A simple thermodynamic theory of the equilibrium potentials of membrane electrodes is formulated and applied to the glass electrode for measurement of pH. The new formulation assumes the selective adsorption or binding of specific ions on the surface of the membrane which may or may not be permeable to the ion, and includes the conventional derivation based on reversible ion transport across me...
