Energy dispersivespectroscopy (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were adopted to study the composition andthe morphology of the film. It is found that the film is composed of Al, Zn, Cu, and small amount ofcerium. The polarization curves of the specimens treated with SWP technique measured in 3.5% (massfraction) NaCl solution reveal that the film thus formed inhibits both the anodic and cathodicprocess of the corrosion of the specimen. The immersion tests of treated specimens in 3.5% NaClsolution indicate that the corrosion resistance of the SWP treated specimen is better than that ofthe untreated and is equivalent to or even better than that of the traditionally electro-chemicallytreated specimens.展开更多

The square wave voltammogram of lidocaine solution showed a well-defined peak between +0.5 and +1.5 V. Instrumental and chemical parameters influencing voltammetric response were optimized by both one at a time and Box–Behnken model of response surface methodology. The results revealed that there was no significant difference between two methods of optimization. The linear range was 1–2500 μmol L^-1(Ip= 0.11 C(LH)+ 17.38, R^2= 0.999).

This study describes the use of a carbon fiber microelectrode modified with a tetrasulfonated nickel phthalocyanine complex for the detection of MNP at a lower potential than that of direct phenol oxidation. The MNP voltammogram showed the presence of an anodic peak at -0.11 V vs SCE, corresponding to the oxidation of the hydroxylamine group generated after the reduction of the nitro group. The effect of buffer pH on the peak current and SWV parameters such as frequency, scan increment, and pulse amplitude were studied and optimized to have better electrochemical response of the proposed sensor. With these optimal parameters, the calibration curve shows that the peak current varied linearly as a function of MNP concentration, leading to a limit of detection (LoD) of 1.1 μg/L. These results show an appreciable sensitivity of the sensor for detecting the MNP at relatively low potentials, making it possible to avoid passivation phenomena.展开更多

Mercury content in sample Tuna Fish ISPRA T22 was determined to value the accuracy of the determination. The concentration in this sample is not certified, so, the Hg amount was determined also with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS): the results obtained with ASV were in good agreement and confirmed literature value reported for this sample. Then, real samples of tuna fish were analyzed. The voltammetric analyses were performed using previously optimized conditions (deposition potential 0 V, step potential 0.004 V, frequency 150 Hz and amplitude 0.003 V). Medium exchange technique permitted to eliminate possible matrix effects. The concentrations in the real samples were found to be in agreement with the common Hg levels reported in literature for commercialized tuna fish in different countries.展开更多

文摘In this paper,dendritic Bi film electrodes with porous structure had successfully been prepared on glassy carbon electrode using a constant current electrolysis method based on hydrogen bubble dynamic templates.The electrode prepared using a large applied current density showed an increased internal electroactive area and a significantly improved electrochemical performance.The analytical utility of the prepared dendritic Bi film electrodes for the determination of Pb(Ⅱ)and Cd(Ⅱ)in the range of 5–50 μg·L^(-1)were presented in combination with square wave stripping voltammetry in model solution.Compared with non-porous Bi film electrode,the dendritic Bi film electrode exhibited higher sensitivity and lower detection limit.The prepared Bi film electrode with dendritic structure was also successfully applied to real water sample analysis.
文摘The cathodic process of cerium(III) ions in NaCl-2CsCl melt was studied bycyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry with tungsten and gold electrodes at 873 K. The twoelectroanalytical methods yield similar results. The cathodic process of cerium(III) ions consistsof two reversible steps: Ce^(3+)+ e^-= Ce^(2+) and Ce^(2+) + 2e^-= Ce. The half wave potentials ofCe^(3+)/Ce^(2+) and Ce^(2+)/Ce were determined as -2.525 V vs. Cl_2/Cl^- and -2.975 V vs. Cl_2/Cl^-,respectively. The diffusion coefficient of Ce^(3+) was also determined as 5.5 X 10^(-5) cm^2 centredot s^(-1).

文摘Electroanalytical techniques could be a reliable and promising alternative to classical and sophisticated methods because of their simplicity(small and portable),easy use,the ability to deliver fast response with high sensitivity and selectivity.A square wave voltammetric method was developed for the assessment of organophosphorus(OPs) compound impact on acetylcholinesterase(AChE) of Pheretima with 2,6-dimethyl-p-benzoquinone(2,6DMBQ) as a redox indicator.The substrate of acetylthiocholine is hydrolyzed by AChE and the produced thiocholine reacts with 2,6-DMBQ to give an obvious shift of electrochemical signal.The reduction peak of 2,6-DMBQ is located at around 0.18 V which is far away from the oxidation potential of possible interference components often present in biosample.The decreased rate of reduction current was related with the activity of AChE.The inhibition of parathion-methyl on AChE was assessed.The inhibiton rate of OPs on AChE activity increased quickly during the first 10 min inhibition,and after that the value of inhibition rate approached to be constant.AChE lost almost 29.3% of activity after 10 min incubation with 1 μg/mL parathion-methyl and 67.5% of activity with 10 μg/mL parathion-methyl,while the activity that corresponds to 40 μg/mL parathion-methyl was nearly completely inhibited(94.9%).Compared to cyclic voltammetry and amperometry,Square wave voltammetry(SWV) method is a high sensitive electroanalysis with fast scan-rate(only several seconds for one signal value) which is useful to prevent the electrodes from possible fouling or passivation.This method can be employed to assess the inhibition of organophosphate on AChE and investigate OPs impact on environmental animals.

文摘The application of homogeneous electrocatalytic reactions in energy storage and conversion has driven surging interests of researchers in exploring the reaction mechanisms of molecular catalysts.In this paper,homogeneous electrocatalytic reaction between hydroxymethylferrocene(HMF)and L-cysteine is intensively investigated by cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry for which,the secondorder rate constant(k_(ec))of the chemical reaction between HMF^(+)and L-cysteine is determined via a 1D homogeneous electrocatalytic reaction model based on finite element simulation.The corresponding k_(ec)(1.1(mol·m^(-3))^(-1)·s^(-1))is further verified by linear sweep voltammograms under the same model.Square wave voltammetry parameters including potential frequency(f),increment(Estep)and amplitude(ESW)have been comprehensively investigated in terms of the voltammetric waveform transition of homogeneous electrocatalytic reaction.Specifically,the effect of potential frequency and increment is in accordance with the potential scan rate in cyclic voltammetry and the increase of pulsed potential amplitude results in a conspicuous split oxidative peaks phenomenon.Moreover,the proposed methodology of k_(ec)prediction is examined by hydroxyethylferrocene(HEF)and L-cysteine.The present work facilitates the understanding of homogeneous electrocatalytic reaction for energy storage purpose,especially in terms of electrochemical kinetics extraction and flow battery design.

文摘In this work,carbon nanosheet(CNS) based electrode was designed for electrochemical biosensing of glucose.CNS has been obtained by the pyrolysis of barley at 600-750℃ in a muffle furnace:it was then purified and functionalized.The CNS has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).X-ray diffraction(XRD) and Raman spectroscopic techniques.The electrochemical activity of CNS-based electrode was investigated by linear sweep vollammetry(LSV) and square wave voltammetry(SWV),for the oxidation of glucose in 0.001 M H2SO4(pH 6.0).The linear range of the sensor was found to be 10-4-10-6M(1-100 μM) within the response time of 4 s.Interestingly,its sensitivity reached as high as 26.002±0.01 μA/μM cm2.Electrochemical experiments revealed that the proposed electrode offered an excellent electrochemical activity towards the oxidation of glucose and could be applied for the construction of non-enzymatic glucose biosensors.
文摘Electrochemical determination of paracetamol(PCT)was successfully performed using carbon paste electrodes(CPEs)modified with treated coffee husks(CHt)or cellulose powder(Ce).Scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize unmodified or modified CPEs prior to their use.The electrochemical oxidation of PCT was investigated using square wave voltammetry(SWV)and cyclic voltammetry(CV).The oxidation current density of PCT was two-fold higher with the CPE-CHt sensor and 30%higher with CPE-Ce in comparison with the unmodified CPE,and this correlated with the higher hydrophilicity of the modified electrodes.Using SWV for the electrochemical analysis of PCT,carbon paste electrode modified with raw coffee husks(CPE-CHr)showed the presence of impurities at+0.27 V/SCE,showing the interest in using pure cellulose for the present analytical application.Furthermore,CPE-Ce presented a higher real area compared to CPE-CHr,which explains the increase in the limit of saturation from 400 mg/L to 950 mg/L.The better saturation limit exhibited by CPE-Ce justifies its choice for electroanalysis of PCT in commercialized tablets.The proposed method was successfully applied in the determination of PCT in commercialized tablets(DolipraneR 500)with a recovery rate close to 100%,and no interference with the excipients contained in the tablets analyzed was observed.This novel sensor opens the way for sustainable development of electroanalytical control of drugs sold individually in developing countries.
文摘The cyclic voltammetry(CV) and the square wave technique were used for the investigations of thallium(Ⅰ) underpotential deposition(UPD) on the silver electrode. A solution of 10 \{mmol/L\} HClO 4+10 mmol/L NaCl was selected as the supporting electrolyte. The calibration plots for Tl(Ⅰ) concentration in the range of 2×10 -9 -1×10 -7 mol/L were obtained. The detection limit was 5×10 -10 mol/L. For the solutions of 4 0×10 -9 mol/L thallium added before the urine sample pretreatment procedure, the average recovery was 105 6% with a relative standard deviation(RSD) of 15 5%.
文摘The applicability of a gold nanoparticle-modified glassy carbon sensor (AuNPs-GCS) for the determination of inorganic mercury in fresh and canned tuna fish by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SW-ASV) is demonstrated. Mercury content in sample Tuna Fish ISPRA T22 was determined to value the accuracy of the determination. The concentration in this sample is not certified, so, the Hg amount was determined also with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS): the results obtained with ASV were in good agreement and confirmed literature value reported for this sample. Then, real samples of tuna fish were analyzed. The voltammetric analyses were performed using previously optimized conditions (deposition potential 0 V, step potential 0.004 V, frequency 150 Hz and amplitude 0.003 V). Medium exchange technique permitted to eliminate possible matrix effects. The concentrations in the real samples were found to be in agreement with the common Hg levels reported in literature for commercialized tuna fish in different countries.
