Poly(1,5-diaminonaphthalene) has been electropolymerized on the screen-printed device with a three-electrode configuration. The modified electrodes have been developed as the new electrode for electrochemical determination of trace levels of lead ions (Pb2+). The poly(1,5-diaminonaphthalene) film prevents the deposition of Pb2+ into the surface defects of the bare carbon screen-printed electrode and possesses sensitivity to heavy metal ions thanks to amine and secondary amino groups on the polymer chain. The square wave anodic stripping voltammetry was applied to detect Pb2+ ions, showing a sharp stripping peak with the linear range from 0.5 μg·L-1 to 5.0 μg·L-1 ( R 2 = 0.9929 ). The limit of detection was found to be 0.30 μg·L-1. The sensors were applied to the analysis of Pb2+ in the tap water sample matrix with satisfactory results.

Different carbon electrodes were explored for application in electroanalysis, namely for sensing of bismuth ion as model analyte. Carbon materials tested included glassy carbon, basal and edge plane pyrolytic graphite, as well as nanostructured carbonized polyaniline prepared in the presence of 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid. Bismuth ion was chosen as model analyte as protocol for its detection and quantifications is still to be determined. Herein, anodic stripping voltammetry was used with study of effect of several parameters such as scan rate and deposition time. Electrode based on carbonized polyaniline showed the highest activity for bismuth ion sensing in terms of the highest current densities recorded both in a laboratory and in real sample, while basal plane pyrolytic graphite electrode gave the lowest limit of detection.

In the present work, a novel electrochemical sensor was developed for the detection of trace cadmium with high sensitivity and selectivity in an easy and eco-friendly way. Firstly, a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with nontoxic sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) by a simple drop-casting method, which was applied to detect cadmium by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) in a solution containing both target cadmium and eco-friendly bismuth ions, based on a quick electro-codeposition of these two metal ions on the surface of the modified electrode (CMC-GCE). Investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), both CMC (with good film-forming ability) and bismuth (with well-defined stripping signal) were found to be well complexed with target cadmium, leading to vital signal amplification for cadmium detection at a sub-nanomolar level. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed sensor exhibited a good linear stripping signal response to cadmium (Ⅱ) ion, in a concentration range of 0.001 μmol/L–1 μmol/L with a limit of detection of 0.75 nmol/L (S/N = 3). Meanwhile, the results demonstrate that this novel electrochemical sensor has excellent sensitivity and reproducibility, which can be used as a promising detection technique for testing natural samples such as tap water.

The widely spread use of the hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) for multi-ion analysis is primarily ascribed to the following reasons: (i) excellent reproducibility owing to the easy renewal of the electrode surface avoiding any hysteresis effect (i.e., a new identical drop is generated for each measurement to be accomplished); (ii) a wide cathodic potential window originating from the passive hydrogen evolution and solvent electrolysis; (iii) the ability to form amalgams with many redox-active metal ions; and (iv) the achievement of (sub)nanomolar limits of detection. On the other hand, the main controversy of the HMDE usage is the high toxicity level of mercury, which has motivated the scientific community to question whether the HMDE deserves to continue being used despite its unique capability for multi-metal detection. In this work, the simultaneous determination of Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, and Cu2+ using the HMDE is investigated as a model system to evaluate the main features of the technique. The analytical benefits of the HMDE in terms of linear range of response, reproducibility, limit of detection, proximity to ideal redox behavior of metal ions and analysis time are herein demonstrated and compared to other electrodes proposed in the literature as less-toxic alternatives to the HMDE. The results have revealed that the HMDE is largely superior to other reported methods in several aspects and, moreover, it displays excellent accuracy when simultaneously analyzing Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, and Cu2+ in such a complex matrix as digested soils. Yet, more efforts are required towards the definitive replacement of the HMDE in the electroanalysis field, despite the elegant approaches already reported in the literature.

Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) is considered one of the most common chemicals that could cause environmental endocrine disrupting. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for simple, rapid and sensitive methods for BPA detection that result from BPA leaching into foods and beverages from storage containers. Herein, a simple laccase electrochemical biosensor was developed for the determination of BPA based on Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode (SPCE) modified graphenegold/ chitosan. The synergic effect of graphene-gold/chitosan nanocomposite as electrode modifier greatly facilitates electron-transfer processes between the electrolyte and laccase enzyme, thus leads to a remarkably improved sensitivity for bisphenol A detection. Methods: In this study, laccase enzyme is immobilized onto the Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode (SPCE) modified Graphene-Decorated Gold Nanoparticles (Gr-AuNPs) with Chitosan (Chit). The surface structure of nanocomposite was studied using different techniques including Field Emission Scanning Microscopy (FESEM), TRANSMISSION Electron Microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX). Meanwhile, the electrochemical performances of the modified electrodes were studied using Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV). Results: The developed laccase biosensor offered excellent analytical performance for the detection of BPA with a sensitivity of 0.271 μA/μM and Limit of Detection (LOD) of 0.023 μM, respectively. Moreover, the constructed biosensor showed good reproducibility, selectivity and stability towards BPA. The sensor has been used to detect BPA in a different type of commercial plastic products as a real sample and satisfactory result was obtained when compared with the HPLC method. Conclusion: The proposed electrochemical laccase biosensor exhibits good result which is considered as a promising candidate for a simple, rapid and sensitive method especially in the resource- limited condition.

In this work, a microfabricated Au-film sensor was designed and fabricated for thevoltammmetric determination of Hg(II). The electrode was fabricated on a silicon chip with astandard microengineering approach utilizing photolithography for patterning the electrode shapeand sputtering for deposition of thin Cr and Au films on the surface of the sensors. The sensorswere used for the determination of trace Hg(II) with anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV): initiallyHg(II) in the sample was accumulated on the Au working electrode surface by reduction andformation of an Au(Hg) amalgam followed by oxidation of the preconcentrated metallic Hg using asquare wave voltammetric scan. The limit of detection was 1.5μgL−1 and the coefficient of variationof 10 consecutive measurements was 3.1%.

17α-methyltestosterone (MT) is a synthetic androgen. It is used widely for inducing an all-male population of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). In this work, the detection of MT was conducted using screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE). These were a bare electrode, a bismuth modified electrode (Bi-SPCE) and an antimony modified electrode (Sb-SPCE). The successful electrode modification was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. The electroanalytical performance of the SPCE modified electrodes for MT detection was examined by cyclic voltammetry. The highest active surface area of 1.073x10-4 cm2 was obtained on Sb-SPCE. This indicates that Sb-SPCE can enhance the sensitivity of MT detection better than the bare-SPCE and the Bi-SPCE. The Sb-SPCE showed a linear response for MT concentrations ranging from 2 to 8 mg.L-1. The sensitivity obtained from the slope of a calibration curve was -0.452 mA.mol-1.L-1 in a Britton-Robinson buffer pH 4.0 containing Sb 16 mg.L-1 with deposition potential and deposition time of 1 V and 90 seconds, respectively. A linear relationship between the square root of the scan rate and the peak current revealed that mass transfer of MT to the electrode was driven by a diffusion mechanism. The limit of detection was found to be 1 mg.L-1.
