A MgB2microparticles modified glassy carbon electrode (MgB2/GCE) was fabricated by adhering microparticles of MgB2onto the electrode surface of GCE. It was used as a working electrode for the detection of paracetamol in 0.1 M KH2PO4aqueous solution during cyclic voltammetry. Use of the MgB2/GCE the oxidation process of paracetamol with a current enhancement significantly by about 2.1 times. The detection limit of this modified electrode was found to be 30 μM. The sensitivity under conditions of cyclic voltammetry is significantly dependent on pH, supporting electrolyte, temperature and scan rate. The current enhancement observed in different electrolytic media varied in the following order: KH2PO4> KCl > K2SO4> KBr. Interestingly, the oxidation of paracetamol using modified GC electrode remain constant even after 15 cycling. It is therefore evident that the MgB2modifiedGCelectrode possesses some degree of stability. A slope of 0.52 dependent of scan rate on current indicates that the system undergoes diffusion-controlled process.

The electrochemical oxidation behaviour of Drimarene Blue X-BLN (DB) has been investigated in phosphate buffers (pH 2.54–10.18) by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The oxidation of DB dye generated well-defined pH-dependent two pairs of quasi-reversible anodic-cathodic peak couples. DB exhibited the second redox couple over the entire pH range, while the first redox couple disappeared for pH ≥ 6.70. The redox processes were adsorption-controlled. An electroanalytical method was developed for the determination of DB in phosphate buffer solution (pH 2.85) as supporting electrolyte using DPV. The anodic current heights varied linearly with DB concentrations in the ranges 2 × 10–6–3 × 10–5 and 6 × 10–6–3 × 10–5 mol l–1 with limits of detection (LOD) of 8.7 × 10–7 and 5.7 × 10–7 mol l–1 and limits of quantification (LOQ) of 2.9 × 10–6 and 1.9 × 10–6 mol l–1 for the first and second anodic peaks, respectively. Validation parameters, such as accuracy, precision and recovery were evaluated. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of DB in tap water and the analytical results compared well with those obtained by the spectrophotometric method.

Introduction: In this study, solar exfoliated graphite oxide modified glassy carbon electrode was used for the anodic oxidation of epinephrine in a phosphate buffer medium at pH7. The modified electrode showed fast response and sensitivity towards Epinephrine Molecule (EP). The electrode was characterized electrochemically through Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV). Area of the electrode enhanced three times during modification and studies reveal that the oxidation process of EP occurs by an adsorption controlled process involving two electrons. The results showed a detection limit of 0.50 ± 0.01μM with a linear range up to 100 μM. The rate constant calculated for the electron transfer reaction is 1.35 s-1. The electrode was effective for simultaneous detection of EP in the presence of Ascorbic Acid (AA) and Uric Acid (UA) with well-resolved signals. The sensitivity, selectivity and stability of the sensor were also confirmed. Methods: Glassy carbon electrode modified by reduced graphene oxide was used for the detection and quantification of epinephrine using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. Results: The results showed an enhancement in the electrocatalytic oxidation of epinephrine due to the increase in the effective surface area of the modified electrode. The anodic transfer coefficient, detection limit and electron transfer rate constant of the reaction were also calculated. Conclusion: The paper reports the determination of epinephrine using reduced graphene oxide modified glassy carbon electrode through CV and DPV. The sensor exhibited excellent reproducibility and repeatability for the detection of epinephrine and also its simultaneous detection of ascorbic acid and uric acid, which coexist in the biological system.

The reversible electrodeposition of zinc was investigated in an aqueous electrolyte containing zinc bromide (50 mM) and 1-ethylpyridinium bromide ([C2Py]Br, 50 mM) by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and scanning electron microscopy. Unusual voltammetric behaviour for the Zn/ZnII redox couple was observed in the presence of [C2Py]Br. Passivation of the redox couple was observed after a single deposition–stripping cycle at switching potentials more negative than −1.25 V versus Ag/AgCl. This unusual behaviour was attributed to the reduction of 1-ethylpyridinium cations to pyridyl radicals and their follow-up reactions, which influenced the zinc electrochemistry. This behaviour was further seen to modify the nucleation process of electrodeposition, which altered the morphology of zinc electrodeposits.

A gold nanostructured film modified glassy carbon electrode (Aufilm/GCE) was developed for the determination of chromium (VI) in water sample. GCE was immersed into HAuCl4 solution (10-3M) and electrodeposition of thin gold layer was conducted at –0.4 V (vs Ag/AgCl) for 10 min. The strong affinity between Au and Cr species resulted with increasing of Cr (VI) signal, compared with the bare glassy carbon electrode. The electrodepositing time, type of supporting electrolyte, pH, the scan rate, modulation amplitude, and modulation time were optimized using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DP-ASV). The calibration graph using accumulation time of 120 s was linear from 10 to 120 µgL-1 with a sensitivity 1.3 x 10-2 µA/µgL-1. Under optimum experimental conditions, a good correlation coefficient R2=0.9971, and a low detection limit 5.5 µg/L Cr (VI) was obtained. The signal was reproducible with a relative standard deviation ±4.5 %. The developed Aufilm/GCE sensor was applied for the Cr (VI) determination of in sewage water samples.

A Co-doped ZnO layer was prepared by electrodeposition method on indium doped tin oxide (ITO) substrate using a cathodic reduction from nitrate medium with different doping percentages of cobalt. The bath temperature was controlled at 70 °C. The films were cathodically electrodeposited in a bath containing 5 mM Zn(NO3)2. 6H2O, while the source of Co is Co(NO3)2.6H2O where 0.1M KNO3 was used as supporting electrolyte. The nucleation and growth mechanism of Co-doped ZnO nuclei have been studied by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The cyclic voltammetry shows that the electrodeposition of ZnO and Co-doped ZnO at a negative potential around -1.0 V versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE) is a quasi-reversible reaction controlled by the diffusion process. Comparing current transients curves obtained by the chronoamperometric method with the theoretical curves of current density j versus t ½ allows us to say that the nucleation is 3D instantaneous, as shown in SEM analysis. The presence of Co does not modify the nucleation and growth mechanism. The XRD patterns show that the substitution of zinc by cobalt does not change the würtzite crystal structure, but the crystallite size decreases with the cobalt percentage. The transmittance spectra indicate that the Co-doped ZnO films are transparent in the visible range. The optical gap increases with the doping percentage of cobalt.

The VO2+/VO2+ redox couple commonly employed on the positive terminal of the all-vanadium redox flow battery was investigated at various states of charge (SOC) and H2SO4 supporting electrolyte concentrations. Electron paramagnetic resonance was used to investigate the VO2+ concentration and translational and rotational diffusion coefficient (DT, DR) in both bulk solution and Nafion membranes. Values of DT and DR were relatively unaffected by SOC and on the order of 10−10 m2s−1. Cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed that no significant changes to the redox mechanism were observed as the state of charge increased; however, the mechanism does appear to be affected by H2SO4 concentration. Electron transfer rate (k0) increased by an order of magnitude (10−6 ms−1 to 10−8 ms−1) for each H2SO4 concentrations investigated (1, 3 and 5 M). Analysis of cyclic voltammetry switching currents suggests that the technique might be suitable for fast determination of state of charge if the system is well calibrated. Membrane uptake and permeability measurements show that vanadium absorption and crossover is more dependent on both acid and vanadium concentration than state of charge. Vanadium diffusion in the membrane is about an order of magnitude slower (~10−11 m2s−1) than in solution (~10−10 m2s−1).
