A simple procedure for the modification of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) from castor oil soot using acid treatment was described herein. Characterization studies revealed the presence of edge plane sites and surface carbon–oxygen functionalities at the surface of the CNP material. Voltammetric studies revealed the increased electrochemical activity of the CNP-modified electrode toward various biologically...
4-Amino-3-hydroxynaphthalene sulfonic acid (AHNSA) was electropolymerized on a glassy carbon electrode. The deposited film showed electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of caffeine. The polymer-modified electrode showed high sensitivity, selectivity and stability in the determination of caffeine in coffee. The peak current increased linearly with the concentration of caffeine in the range...
Electrochemical behavior of β-carotene in polar organic media and solubilized systems has been investigated. β-Carotene is irreversibly oxidized at 500 and 920mV on glassy carbon electrode in 0.1M LiClO 4 ethanol containing 10% of CH 2 Cl 2 . Effect of surfactants (cationic, nonionic and anionic) on voltammetric characteristics of β-carotene oxidation has been evaluated. High...
A novel carbon modified electrode was developed by incorporating titanium dioxide/zirconium dioxide into the graphite carbon paste electrode to detect heavy metals—cadmium and lead. In this work, the development of the novel titanium dioxide/zirconium dioxide modified carbon paste electrode was studied to determine the optimum synthesis conditions related to the temperature, heating duration, amount...
The interaction of ciprofloxacin (Cf) with double-stranded DNA was studied by cyclic voltammetry, fluorescence emission spectroscopy, and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The presence of DNA results in a decrease in the current and a positive shift in the Cf oxidation peak indicates the intercalative interaction. The corresponding heterogeneous rate constant (k s ) and the electron transfer coefficient...
An air and moisture stable ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate (EMIMES) was used as an electrolyte for electropolymerization of l-cysteine followed by electrodeposition of nickel nanoparticles (NiNP) on paraffin wax impregnated graphite electrode (PIGE). The electrodeposited NiNP modified electrode showed good redox activity and stability in 0.1M KOH solution. The modified electrode...
Nitro-explosives contain reducible aromatic –NO 2 groups or cyclic >N–NO 2 bonds that may undergo reductive cleavage. This work reports the development of a cyclic voltammetric (CV) assay for nitro-aromatics (trinitrotoluene (TNT), dinitrotoluene (DNT)) and nitramines (1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (RDX) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX)) using...
In this work, we study the electrochemical properties of protein layer grafted on gold electrode for C-reactive protein detection. Two CRP-antibody immobilization methods were used: the first method is based on direct physisorption of CRP-antibody onto the gold surface and the second method is based on oriented CRP-antibody with protein G intermediate layer. The two developed immunosensors were tested...
In this study we investigated the possibility of applying disposable electrochemical screen-printed carbon sensors for the rapid identification and quantitative determination of diazepam in beverages. This was achieved utilising a previously unreported oxidation peak. The origin of this peak was investigated further by cyclic voltammetry and gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy. At pH 6 the voltammetric...
Chloroanisoles, namely 2,4,6-trichloroanisole, are pointed out as the primary responsible of the development of musty off-flavours in bottled wine, due to their migration from cork stoppers, which results in huge economical losses for wine industry. A prevention step is the detection of these compounds in cork planks before stoppers are produced. Mass spectrometry gas chromatography is the reference...
A simple and green chemistry protocol has been proposed based on the covalent anchoring of benzamide molecule on glassy carbon spheres through ball milling under solvent free condition. The modification proceeds through the formation of an amide bond between carboxylic group of glassy carbon spheres and the amino group of modifier molecule. The formation of covalent bond was ascertained using X-ray...
We report a microfluidic platform that integrates several parallel optical sources based on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA) as luminophore agent. The annihilation of DPA radicals provides a low wavelength emission at λ=430nm in the blue-visible range. By varying the distance between electrodes for each ECL integrated source, this glass/PDMS/glass platform enabled a...
In this work, a novel electrochemical sensor was developed for the detection of nitroaromatic explosive materials, based on a gold nanoparticle-modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode coated with poly(o-phenylenediamine–aniline film) (GC/P(o-PDA-co-ANI)-Au nano electrode). Nitroaromatic compounds were detected through their π-acceptor/donor interactions with o-phenylenediamine–aniline functionalities...
