Ascorbic Acid determination using linear sweep voltammetry on flexible electrode modified with gold nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide
2020
Indium tin oxide (ITO) coated on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate electrode was modified with reduced graphene oxide and gold nanoparticles by simple co-electrodeposition performed at -0.8 V vs SCE for 200 s. All samples were characterized by electron scan microscopy. The as prepared electrode was used as electrochemical sensor to selective detection of ascorbic acid using linear sweep voltammetry. Excellent results were obtained in a linear range from 20 to 150 µM of ascorbic acid with a limit of detection of about 3.1 µM (S/N=3.3). The sensors have a reproducibility of about 5.5% and also show high selectivity towards different interferents such as chlorine, calcium, ma…
Ion transport through polyelectrolyte multilayers under steady-state conditions
2004
Abstract The permeability of a self-assembled polyelectrolyte multilayer to small ions under the influence of an applied potential difference is studied as a function of the number of layers and the nature of the supporting electrolyte. The multilayer is described as a series of homogeneously charged membranes with alternating sign of their fixed charge. Ion transport is described on the basis of the diffusion equation and the assumption of (Donnan) electrochemical equilibrium at the boundaries between layers. The calculated steady-state current–voltage curves are found to be in good agreement with experimental linear sweep voltammograms (at low sweep rate). The permeability of polystyrenes…
Electrochemical reactions with adsorption of the reactants and electrosorption. Simple analytical solutions for a Henry isotherm
1998
Abstract A theoretical treatment of an electrochemical reaction O + ne− R with adsorption of the reactants is presented when the adsorption, at equilibrium, obeys a Henry isotherm. A simple analytical solution, valid for any degree of adsorption of O and or R, is established for a polarographic wave. In LSV, for slow sweep rates and weak adsorption, both the cathodic and anodic peaks have a ‘diffusional’ character; for high sweep rates and strong adsorption, they are both of a ‘surface’ nature. In the intermediate case, one peak has a ‘diffusional’ character (deposition process), while the other is of a ‘surface’ nature (redissolution process). Expressions of the peak potentials are given i…
Photoelectrocatalysis of paracetamol on Pd–ZnO/ N-doped carbon nanofibers electrode
2021
Abstract The presence of pharmaceuticals in water bodies has become a major concern in recent years. An efficient and innovative way of eliminating these pollutants is through photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) degradation owing to its environmental sustainability and its ability to remove recalcitrant pollutants. In this study, palladium loaded zinc oxide/carbon nanofibers (CZnO–Pd) were employed as a novel photoanode for PEC degradation of paracetamol. The CZnO–Pd composite was prepared through electrospinning and atomic layer deposition (ALD). The obtained materials were characterized. Photoelectrochemical studies were carried out with linear sweep voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The removal…
Fabrication of an extremely cheap poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) modified pencil lead electrode for effective hydroquinone sensing
2021
Hydroquinone (HQ) is one of the major deleterious metabolites of benzene in the human body, which has been implicated to cause various human diseases. In order to fabricate a feasible sensor for the accurate detection of HQ, we attempted to electrochemically modify a piece of common 2B pencil lead (PL) with the conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) or PEDOT film to construct a PEDOT/PL electrode. We then examined the performance of PEDOT/PL in the detection of hydroquinone with different voltammetry methods. Our results have demonstrated that PEDOT film was able to dramatically enhance the electrochemical response of pencil lead electrode to hydroquinone and exhibited a good linear co…
Fabrication of a biocompatible and continuous glucose biosensor with the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) modified electrode
2019
Abstract In this study, we have explored the potentiality of using GOx/AuNP/PEDOT(BSA)/Pt electrode as an implantable, long-lasting, and sensitive glucose biosensor. We have examined the performance of the electrode for glucose calibration with three electrochemical measurements, such as cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, as well as chronoamperometry, which all exhibited strong linear correlation between resulting signal and glucose concentration. In comparison, linear sweep voltammetry gave the best linear sensitivity, whose average was about 3.124 µA/mM/cm2 within a wide glucose concentration range from 0.416 to 50 mM. Meanwhile, the stability of the electrode was confirmed by …
Electrodeposition of CeO2 and Co-Doped CeO2 Nanotubes by Cyclic Anodization in Porous Alumina Membranes
2013
An anodic electrodeposition process is proposed to prepare CeO2 and Co-doped CeO2 nanotubes. Anodic alumina membrane is used as template and linear sweep voltammetry is employed to allow the formation of nanotubes without alumina dissolution. SEM micrographs showed large arrays of well defined and aligned NTs, which resulted to be crystalline soon after deposition according to XRD diffraction patterns and Raman Spectroscopy.
