The modified multiwall carbon nanotubes paste electrode exhibited a good electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of hydrazine at pH = 7.0. The catalytic oxidation peak currents showed a linear dependence of the peaks current to the hydrazine concentrations in the range of 0.5–175 μmol/L with a correlation coefficient of 0.9975. The detection limit (S/N = 3) was estimated to be 0.3 μmol/L of hydrazine. The relative standard deviations for 0.7 and 5.0 μmol/L hydrazine were 1.7 and 1.1%, respectively. The modified electrode showed good sensitivity and selectivity. The diffusion coefficient (D = 9.5 × 10–4 cm2/s) and the kinetic parameters such as the electron transfer coefficient (α = 0.7) of hydrazine at the surface of the modified electrode were determined using electrochemical approaches. The electrode was successfully applied for the determination of hydrazine in real samples with satisfactory results.展开更多

The modified electrode showed good electrocatalytic activity for the anodic oxidation of isoprenaline, which was due to a substantial decrease in the anodic overpotential. Under the optimum conditions, measurements using square wave voltammetry had a linear range in the range of 0.3 to 125.0 μmol/L of isoprenaline and a detection limit of 0.1 μmol/L. The diffusion coefficient and kinetic parameters were determined using electrochemical methods. The relative standard deviation for seven successive assays of 1.0 and 20.0 μmol/L isoprenaline were 1.9% and 2.4%, respectively.This electrochemical sensor was successfully applied for the determination of isoprenaline in human urine and injection solution samples.展开更多

To achieve this goal, a novel modified carbon paste electrode using ZnO nanoparticles and l-methyl-3-butylimidazolium bromide as a binder （ZnO/NPs/ILs/CPE） was fabricated. The oxidation peak potential of promazine at the surface of the ZnO/ NPs/ILs/CPE appeared at 685 mV, which was about 65 mV lower than the oxidation potential at the surface of CPE under similar conditions. Also, the peak current was increased to about 4.0 times higher at the surface of ZnO/NPs/ILs/CPE compared to that of CPE. The linear response range and detection limit were found to be 0.08-450 and 0.04 μmol/L, respectively. The modified electrode was successfully used for the determination of promazine in real samples with satisfactory results.展开更多
