The increasing rise in the rate of both anthropogenic CO2 emissions and atmospheric CO2 concentration, combined with an evolving understanding of what this means for global climate change both now, and in the future, has increased the need for novel technologies for CO2 capture from large point sources. Current industry standards involve the use of amine solvents, which have a large parasitic l...

A recently constructed polyglycine modified carbon paste electrode (PGMCPE) was employed to evaluate the electrochemical behavior of methyl orange (MO). The developed electrode was characterized by FESEM to understand the morphology of the modified electrode and bare carbon paste electrode (BCPE). The modified electrode exhibits an excellent electrochemical activity towards the oxidation of MO....

A selective electrochemical method for the determination of uric acid was developed by using nano poly cresol red modified glassy carbon electrode. This new material has been characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and Differential pulse voltammetry. This modified electrode shows excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of uric acid in the presence of ...

The palladium nanoparticles were immobilized on DNA-modified multi walled carbon nanotubes as stable and powerful heterogeneous catalyst. The catalyst was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma and elemental analysis. DNA as a well-defined structure and...

Clomipramine hydrochloride, active component of an antidepressant drug, was determined in the pharmaceutical formulation by two kinds of potentiometric sensor; a PVC membrane sensor and a carbon paste electrode modified by MWCNTs and ionic liquid. Both sensors were corporated with clomipramine-tetraphenylborate ion-pair complex and they respond based on ion exchange mechanism. The best PVC memb...

In the present paper, electrochemical methods were used to investigate the behavior of ascorbic acid at a carbon paste electrode modified with 2,2'-((1E)-(1,2 phenylenebis(azanylylidene)) bis(methanylylidene))bis(benzene-1,4-diol) (PBD) and oxidized multiwall carbon nanotubes. The modified carbon paste electrode showed high electrocatalytic activity toward ascorbic acid; the current was enhance...

In the present study, a type of graphitic mesoporous carbon (denoted as GMC) is synthesized and its structural properties were characterized by nitrogen physisorption isotherms, transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. According to BET and BJH methods, the specific surface area (SBET) and the average pore diameter of GMC are estimated to be 720 m2/g and 3.4 nm, respectively....

background and objectives: active coal is applied in tissue culture media as the absorbant of phenolic compounds and toxic materials; but no research has been done regarding its direct application like spray on plants. application of this material as the carbone source is based on researches done by sucrose; which had highly positive effect on plant growth and development. thus; a hypothesis wa...
