The properties of mercury-coated glassy carbon electrodes coated with a thin membrane of Nation 117 were studied to evaluate the potential analytical applications in metal ion analysis. The Nation membrane was found to contain two types of binding sites — a strong site that bound metal ions in a nonelectroactive form and cation exchange sites that were useful for preconcentrations prior to differential pulse voltammetry. The exchange constants for the weak sites ranged from 0.413 for copper to 12.5 for methyl viologen. The differential pulse currents were increased by a factor of 75 to 100 and a linear calibration curve was observed from about 25 n M to 1000 n M for copper, lead, cadmium, and zinc. The ion exchange reaction is very sensitive to ionic strength and significant enrichments occur only in solutions of ionic strength below 0.10. The Nafion-coated glassy carbon electrode in a flow cell can be used to determine the free copper ion concentration in samples by a combination of ion exchange and differential pulse voltammetry. The flow-through system required about 15 mL of sample solution and an analysis time of about 10 min. The ion exchange measurement gave a linear calibration from 40 n M to 10 μ M for free copper.

Modified glassy carbon electrodes have been made by deposition of functionalised multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) followed by formation of poly(Nile blue) (PNB) films by electropolymerisation, using potential cycling in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH 6.0. The electrochemical oxidation of carbidopa (CD) and benserazide (BS) on these MWCNTs/PNB-modified electrodes was investigated using cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry in 0.1 M PBS at different values of pH between 5.0 and 8.0; both CD and BS gave one diffusion-controlled irreversible oxidation peak in cyclic voltammetry. Analytical characterisation of CD and BS was carried out in 0.1 M PBS, pH 5.0. Peak currents in differential pulse voltammetry were linear over the concentration range of1×10−5to1×10−4 M for CD and4×10−6to4×10−5 M for BS. The repeatability, precision, and accuracy of the method were also investigated. Higher sensitivities and lower detection limits, of 1.17 μM for CD and 0.50 μM for BS, were obtained with this new modified electrode compared with previous studies reported in the literature.

Carbon-nanotube(CNT)-modified glassy carbon electrodes exhibiting strong electrocatalytic response toward nitrite are described. Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry are used to investigate the electrocatalytic property of CNT-modified glassy carbon electrode toward the reduction of nitrite. The modified electrode could be used for nitrite sensing.

The possibility of determination of chloramphenicol by differential pulse voltammetry at four different carbon paste electrodes, in the full pH range (2–12) of Britton–Robinson (BR) buffer was investigated. Electrodes were prepared by mixing spectroscopic graphite powder or glassy carbon microbeads with mineral oil (Nujol) or tricresyl phosphate. Under optimal conditions (BR buffer pH 12, the electrode prepared from glassy carbon microbeads and tricresyl phosphate), linear calibration graph was obtained only in 10–5 M chloramphenicol concentration range. Determination of lower concentrations of chloramphenicol was complicated by irreproducible peak of oxygen from the carbon paste which overlapped with peak of chloramphenicol. Addition of sodium sulfite removed the oxygen peak without influence on the peak of chloramphenicol. Under optimal conditions (electrode paste made from glassy carbon microbeads, BR buffer pH 10 and 0.5 M sodium sulfite), straight calibration line was obtained in the 10–6 and 10–5 M chloramphenicol concentration range. Limit of determination was 5 × 10–7 mol/l.
