A poly-o-phenylenediamine film modified glassy carbon electrode (PoPD/GC) was successfully prepared by cyclic voltammetry in acetate buffer solution. The polymerization mechanism of oPD is discussed. The impedance behavior and morphology of the PoPD membrane were characterized using cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. It is discovered that the PoPD/GC prepared only in acetate buffer solution had dual electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation and reduction of H2O2. The optimal buffer solution pH, scanning rate, monomer concentration, and number of scannings for film forming were 4.2, 0.05 V s−1, 6.0 mmol L−1, and 30, respectively. The linear ranges between the anodic (Δia) or cathodic (Δic) current and H2O2 concentration were 0.07−1.0 × 104 and 0.04−4.5 × 104 μmol L−1, respectively. The corresponding calibration curves were Δia (μA) = 8.03c (mmol L−1) + 6.36 (n = 18, R2 = 0.9989) and Δic (μA) = −5.52c (mmol L−1) − 0.77 (n = 18, R2 = 0.9990) with a detection limit of 0.03 and 0.02 μmol L−1 (S/N = 3), respectively. The PoPD/GC prepared in the optimal conditions showed good stability and quick response (<0.2 s) to H2O2, which was successfully applied to the determination of H2O2 in real water samples with satisfactory results.

A simple electrochemical method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of dihydroxybenzene isomers in wastewater samples with poly (glutamic acid) modified electrode (PGA/GCE). PGA/GCE was fabricated by electropolymerization of glutamic acid on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) through cyclic voltammetry (CV). PGA/GCE showed an excellent electrocatalytic ability towards the oxidation of hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC). With CV and differential pulse votammetric (DPV) measurements, HQ and CC in wastewater samples could be simultaneously analyzed at PGA/GCE. The linear range for HQ and CC were 5 - 100 μM and 2 - 160 μM, with a detection limit of 2.0 μM and 1.0 μM, respectively. Moreover, PGA/GCE exhibited good selectivity and repeatability. The method has a promising application in the monitoring of HQ and CC of wastewater.

The electrocatalytic properties of a SiC particle-modified glassy carbon electrode (MGC) for adrenaline oxidation were studied by cyclic voltammetry, double-potential step chronoculometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in a pH 7.4 physiological Kres?Ringer phosphate buffer (KRPB) solution. It was shown that modification of the electrode with SiC particles has a marked electrocatalytic effect on the electrochemical reaction of adrenaline, i.e., the activity and the reversibility of the MGC electrode were significantly improved compared to an unmodified electrode. This was attributed to the adsorption effect of the electroactive adrenaline molecules on the MGC electrode surface. .
