Application Of Pd/Graphene Modified Electrode In The Detection Of 4-Chlorophenol, Peng Shi, Bo-Xuan Wang, Quan-Lin Song, Hui Wang, Xin Liu, Zhao-Yong Bian

Journal of Electrochemistry

The Pd/graphene composites were synthesized by a modified Hummers method and NaBH4 reduction process, and then were characterized using XRD, SEM, XPS, and TEM. The Pd/graphene modified glassy carbon electrode (Pd/graphene/GCE) was prepared based on this method. Cyclic voltammetry was used to study the optimum operation conditions for the 4-chlorophenol detection. It was shown that the surface of the graphene was smooth and Pd nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on graphene. The average particle size was calculated to be 6.5 ± 0.05 nm. These nanoparticles exhibited high catalytic activity and sensitivity toward chlorophenols. PBS with a concentration of 0.1 mol?L-1 at …

Effect Of Adsorption Potential On Co Oxidation At Au@Pt Nanoparticles Electrodes, A Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopic Study, Pu Zhang, Yi Wei, Yong-Li Zheng, Yan-Xia Chen, Zhong-Qun Tian

Journal of Electrochemistry

The adsorption/oxidation of CO on the 55 nm Au@0.7 nm Pt nanoparticles electrode in both potentiodynamic and potentiostatic modes were investigated by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy in a thin layer electrochemical flow cell under controlled mass transport, with the aim of clarifying the origin CO oxidation at lower electrode potentials (in current pre-wave region of corresponding cyclic voltammograms). Our results demonstrated that the CO oxidation kinetics differed significantly from the three kinds of different CO adsorption history, with almost no CO oxidation current in the pre-peak potential region after 0.35 VRHE CO adsorption with or without subsequent holding the …


Broadband Sum-Frequency Generation Spectroscopic Invstigations Of Thiocyanate On Polycrystalline Au Electrode In Alkaline Solutions, Mei Xu, Jing-Jing Wang, Zhi-Chao Huangfu, Ng Ying Wa, Yu-Han He, Zhao-Hui Wang Aug 2015

Broadband Sum-Frequency Generation Spectroscopic Invstigations Of Thiocyanate On Polycrystalline Au Electrode In Alkaline Solutions, Mei Xu, Jing-Jing Wang, Zhi-Chao Huangfu, Ng Ying Wa, Yu-Han He, Zhao-Hui Wang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Broadband sum frequency generation (BB-SFG) spectroscopy has been used to investigating the potential-dependent adsorption behaviors of thiocyanate ions on polycrystalline Au electrode in alkaline solutions. During the positive scan, a change in the Stark slope (dωC-N/dE) for C—N stretching mode can be observed in the range of -1.1 V ~ 0.2 V (vs. SCE), which implies that the orientation of adsorbed thiocyanate ions at Au electrode surface changes from N-bound (dωC-N/dE=45 cm-1·V-1) form to S-bound (dωC-N/dE = 16.2 cm-1·V-1 …

Electrochemical Detection Of L-Cysteine Based On Iron Phthalocyanine/Nitrogen-Doped Graphene Modified Electrodes, Jing-Jing Xiao, Hui-Ying Xu, Li Xu, Bao-Hong Liu

Journal of Electrochemistry

In this study, we report a facile method to develop FePc/N-G hybrid modified electrode for the detection of L-cysteine. The electrochemical sensor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and amperometric response. The sensor exhibited a wider linear range with rapid response which has outperformed pure FePc/GCE, highlighting the important role of nitrogen doped graphene as substrate for improving the electrochemical response property.

A Novel Nitrite Sensing Electrode Based On Au/Fe3O4/Chitosan Nanocomposite, Ying Dong, Yong Wang, Huan-Huan Xing, Jian-Ying Qu

Journal of Electrochemistry

A novel nitrite sensing electrode based on gold nanoparticles and iron oxides (Fe3O4) magnetic nanoparticles was fabricated with chitosan as the protective film on glassy carbon matrix. Experiment results showed that the sensing electrode exhibited good electrocatalytic activity toward oxidation of nitrite, and the oxidation peak current increased linearly with the concentration of nitrite varying from 5.0×10-6 to 2.0×10-3 mol·L-1 (R=0.9996) with a detection limit of 7.1×10-7 mol·L-1 (S/N=3). The sensing electrode exhibited good sensitivity, selectivity and repeatability.


Electrochemiluminescence Assay Based On Bipolar Electrode For Bioanalysis, Mei-Sheng Wu, Jing-Juan Xu, Hong-Yuan Chen Feb 2015

Electrochemiluminescence Assay Based On Bipolar Electrode For Bioanalysis, Mei-Sheng Wu, Jing-Juan Xu, Hong-Yuan Chen

Journal of Electrochemistry

Bipolar electrodes (BPEs) are electronic conductors which are usually embedded into microchannels. The potential difference at the BPE/solution interface is obtained by applying a voltage at the two ends of the microchannel. When it reaches a critical value, the redox reaction takes place at both poles of the BPE simultaneously. Compared with other detection methods, the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) platform based on BPE possesses the advantages of concentration enrichment, high sensitivity, low cost, portable sensor system, no need for a light source, which is quite suitable for bioanalysis. This paper reviews the ECL-BPE strategy for bioanalysis and proposes the future research …
