Electrochemical behaviors of methocarbamol (MET) at the bare carbon paste electrode (CPE), acetylene black (AB) modified carbon paste electrode (AB/CPE), an ionic liquid 1-Benzyl-3Methylimidazole hexafluorophosphate ([BnMIM]PF6) modified carbon paste electrode ([BnMIM]PF6/ CPE) and AB-[BnMIM]PF6 modified carbon paste electrode (AB-[BnMIM]PF6/CPE) in PBS (pH = 6.8) were investigated by cyclic vo...

It has been found that multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CS-CNT) can be produced in mass level, simply by pyrolysing mustard oil which was then derivatized with carboxylic acid (CS-CNT (acid)) and ammonia (CS-CNT (base)). A low cost electrode was fabricated on Teflon substrate with three silver wires which was coated with different types of carbon nanotube. A comparative study of electrochemical be...

Carbon nanotubes have been explored as interconnects in solid acid fuel cells to improve the link between nanoscale Pt catalyst particles and macroscale current collectors. The nanotubes were grown by chemical vapor deposition on carbon paper substrates, using nickel nanoparticles as the catalyst, and were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The composite el...

A carbon-paste electrode spiked with 1-[4-(ferrocenyl ethynyl)phenyl]-1-ethanone was constructed by the incorporation of 1-[4-(ferrocenyl ethynyl)phenyl]-1-ethanone in a graphite powder silicon oil matrix. It shown by cyclic voltammetry and double potential-step chronoamperometry, which this ferrocene derivative modified a carbon-paste electrode, can catalyze the ascorbic acid oxidation in an a...

Dye-sensitized solar cells present promising low-cost alternatives to the conventional Silicon (Si)-based solar cells. The counter electrode  generally consists of Pt deposited onto FTO plate. Since Pt is rare and expensive metal, nanostructured carbonaceous materials have been widely investigated as a promising alternative to replace it. Carbon nanotubes  have shown significant properties such...

a chemically modified carbon paste electrode with multiwall carbon nanotube (mwcnt) was prepared and used as a sensor for cu2+ ion. the unique chemical and physical properties of cnt have paved the way  to  new  and  improved  sensing  devices.  a  central  composite chemometrics  design  was  applied  for  multivariate  optimization  of the  effects  of  three  significant  parameters  (graphi...

Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was used to modify BPPG electrode because of its unique structure and extraordinary properties. MWCNT modified electrode exhibited obvious enhancing and electrocatalyzing effects to the oxidation of ascorbic acid using cyclic voltammetry technique. MWCNT was bonded on BPPG electrode surface using carbon paste with ratio of 30% (w/w) carbon paste (binder): 70...

a sensor, based on multi-wall carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (mwcnt/gce), was developed for determination of fenitrothion. determining the surface area of mwcnt/gce showed that this surface is three times more active than that of a glassy carbon electrode. the experimental parameters, such as the amount of mwcnts, ph of the fenitrothion solution, preconcentration potential an...

2-amino-n-benzthioazolyl benzamide (abtb) was synthesized, characterized and used for thefabrication of a potentiometric sensor for cu2+ metal ions. the electrode exhibits linear response to cu(ii) over a wide concentration range (4.79×10 -8 – 1.85×10 -1 m) with nernstian slope of 30 ± 1.5 mvper decade. the electrode can be used in the ph range from 2 to 9. it has a fast response time of about1...
