Chemically modified [Ru(NH3)6]3+ doped Nafion® thin film was fabricated on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass electrodes by using the drop-coating method to detect heavy metal ions of Pb(II) in de-ionized water analyte solution via anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). This study also determined the effect of varying the concentration of the mediator ([Ru(NH3)6]3+) on the detection of the said heavy metals. The redox mediator Ru(NH3)6]3+ used in the study was effectively incorporated and immobilized within the Nafion modified electrodes. Lead concentration in the electrolyte solution and the concentration of the redox mediator was varied to control the properties of the fabricated electrodes which utilized for heavy metal detection through ASV. The conducting properties of ITO electrodes were enhanced with the deposition of Nafion® attaining minimal interference. The stripping current peaks increased with the concentration of the heavy metal present in the solution as well as with the mediator concentration.

Preparation and microscopy characterization of polymer modified glassy carbon electrodes based on (5-[(azulen-1-yl) methylene]-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one (L) were reported. Atomic Force Microscopy was used to investigate the morphological and mechanical properties of the deposited polyL films onto glassy carbon. The topography images of the analyzed samples exhibited the presence of some columnar shape features onto the layer surfaces. The surface roughness of the layers deposited at constant charge calculated from topography images, increased with the more positive applied potential for controlled potential electrolysis. At different charges, the roughness parameter showed the same behavior for the layers obtained applying a constant potential without having a noticeable influence on the adhesion properties on the substrate. Analysis using scanning electron microscopy shows a relatively uniform surface arrangement of the polymer and the presence of some clusters which are disturbing the planarity. PolyL chemically modified electrodes have been used for heavy metal ions detection with best results for lead.
