Exocytosis is one of the major means for cells to transmit messages. Amperometric detection of exocytosis is an important method in studying communication between cells. In this study a new type of ITO micro-pore electrochemical sensor was fabricated by means of ITO and UV light lithographic mask and was used in the detection of exocytosis with promising results. Compared with the conventional method, the ITO micro-pore sensor can not only replace the carbon fiber electrode, but be combined with fluorescent or chemiluminescent methods in detecting the physiological phenomena of cells.

A New type of dehydrogenase-based amperometric ethanol biosensor was constructed using alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) which was immobilized on the edge-plane pyrolytic graphite (EPPG) electrode modified with poly(phenosafranin)-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube (PPS-SWCNT). The PPS-SWCNT modified EPPG electrode was prepared by electropolymerization of phenosafranin on the EPPG electrode which was previously coated with SWCNT. The performance of the ADH/PPS-SWCNT/EPPG electrode was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry and amperometry in the presence of ethanol. The fabricated ethanol biosensor provided a reasonable sensitivity of 2.0 μA cm–2 mM–1 and a low detection limit (36 μM) for the electrocatalytic oxidation of ethanol with a linear concentration …

A novel molecularly imprinted membranes electrochemical sensor with good memory capacity to acetamiprid was developed. Based on electrodeposition technique, chitosan was deposited onto the surface of gold electrode as a functional polymer matrix along with aimed molecules acetamiprid and glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent. Cationic probe Ru(NH3)6Cl3 was employed to indirectly investigate the electrochemical characteristics as well as the imprinted effect of the sensors. The results showed that the sensors had a specific recognition to acetamiprid compared to the structural similarity midacloprid and other pesticide.

The Flip-Flop Behavior Of Acetonitrile At Au Electrode Surface Investigated By Sum Frequency Generation Vibrational Spectroscopy, Zhi Huang, Xin Tang, Gang-Hua Deng, En-Cai Zhou, Hong-Fei Wang, Yuan Guo

Journal of Electrochemistry

The electrochemical interface between liquid acetonitrile and polycrystal gold electrode is investigated by in situ infrared visible sum frequency generation spectroscopy (SFG-VS). The structure of acetonitrile adsorbed at polycrystal gold electrode surface is studied as a function of electrode potential. The SFG spectra of CH3 group indicate acetonitrile orients in response to the electrode potential. The SFG signal of CH3 group turns lower as the electrode potential changes from -700mV to 300mV, and vanishes around the 300mV(pzc), then becomes a negative signal above 500mV, which indicates that the orientation is predominately with the CH3 group toward the metal between -700 …
