Arsenic poisoning in the environment can cause severe effects on human health, hence detection is crucial. An electrochemical-based portable assessment of arsenic contamination is the ability to identify arsenite (As(III)). To achieve this, a low-cost electroanalytical assay for the detection of As(III) utilizing a silica nanoparticles (SiNPs)-modified screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was developed. The morphological and elemental analysis of functionalized SiNPs and a SiNPs/SPCE-modified sensor was studied using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The electrochemical responses towards arsenic detection were measured using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep anodic stripping voltammetry (LSASV) techniques. Under optimized conditions, the anodic peak current was proportional to the As(III) concentration over a wide linear range of 5 to 30 µg/L, with a detection limit of 6.2 µg/L. The suggested approach was effectively valid for the testing of As(III) found within the real water samples with good reproducibility and stability.

AbstractIn the work presented, a lead film electrode was prepared in situ on a screen-printed carbon support using a reversibly deposited mediator (Zn) and applied to the determination of Cd(II) by anodic stripping voltammetry. The electrochemical method for lead film formation is based on a co-deposition of a metal of interest (Pb), with a reversibly deposited zinc mediator, followed by oxidation of zinc, with additional deposition of lead at the appropriate potential. It serves to increase the density of lead particles, promoting lead film growth, and consequently helps to improve the electrochemical properties of the electrode. This was confirmed by microscopic and voltammetric studies. The obtained detection limit of Cd(II) is equal to 6.6 × 10−9 mol L−1 (−1.6 V for 180 s and then −0.95 V for 5 s). The presented procedure was successfully applied to cadmium determination in Bystrzyca River water samples.


Linalool is a very important flavouring compound found in plants which is used in food and beverages. Linalool has been traditionally detected by analytical instruments such as gas chromatography (GC) coupled with mass spectroscopy(MS) which are not suitable for routine tests. For fast and low cost detection of chemical compounds electrochemial sensors are most suitable. Screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) is one of the most popular and low cost device used for detection of chemical compounds. In this article we present the detection of linalool using a low cost preannodized commercial screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE). Traditionally electrochemical sensors are used in two terminal mode, however three terminal analysis of electrochemical sensors are found to be more rationale and accurate. In this paper we have analyzed detection of linalool by an advanced three terminal analysis. First we have performed cyclic voltammetry(CV) of the SPCE which showed clear oxidation peaks at different concentration of linalool. The input-output data of the CV has been used for analysis of the impedance of the SPCE.The impedance model of the SPCE was estimated by autoregressive moving average with exogenous inputs(ARMAX) modelling technique using the CV data. The three terminal impedance fitting revealed the values of electrical parameters and the parasitic elements at different linalool concentration. The stability limits of the SPCE was also determined from the pole-zero and Nyquist plots of the estimated models. Impedance behaviour to frequency of the SPCE was further analyzed by impedance plot( 𝒁 vs −𝒁 ′ ) from which we are able to relate the CV scan rate to the impedance of the SPCE. Finally the sensitivity and repeatability of the SPCE was determined using a measurement circuit.
