In this work, the electro-catalytic oxidation of ibuprofen was studied using aluminum oxide supported on clay (Clay/Al2O3). The latter has been successfully prepared by impregnating aluminum particles in the clay by heat treatment. The electro-catalytic performances of Clay/Al2O3 for the oxidation of ibuprofen were studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry, and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in 0.1 mol L-1 of the phosphate buffer (pH = 7). It has been shown that the proposed catalyst exhibits remarkably an electro-catalytic effect performance vis-a-vis the oxidation of ibuprofen. In addition, the peak oxidation currents depend linearly on the ibuprofen concentration in the wide ranges from 1.0·10-3 mol L-1 to 1.0·10-6 mol L-1 with a detection limit of 1.95·10-8 mol L-1 and response time of 30 second. Possible interferences were evaluated in 1.0·10-5 mol L-1 ibuprofen. The proposed catalyst also indicated suitable repeatability and stability. Besides, the proposed CPE-Clay/Al2O3 has been successfully applied for ibuprofen analysis in human blood with good recoveries.

In this work, an electrochemical sensor is fabricated by decorating the surface of graphite electrode with NiO/graphene (NGMG) nanoparticles and employed for the detection of dopamine (DA), tyrosine (Tyr) and ascorbic acid (AA). The structure and morphology of prepared NiO nanoparticles are examined by XRD,SEM, FTIR and Raman techniques. The electrochemical properties have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and chronoamperommety. The modified electrode is prepared by a simple drop casting method. The electrode shows good electro catalyticactivity towards oxidation of DA, Tyr and AA. It successfully separates the oxidation current signals of AA, DA and Tyr into clearly visible three distinct oxidation peaks compared to a single, overlapped oxidative peak on bare graphite electrode. The peak potential difference between AA-DA, DA-Tyr and AA-Tyr is 228 mV, 303 mV and 565 mV respectively in cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies and the corresponding peak potential separations are 243 mV, 318 mV and 561 mV respectively in differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). It is found that oxidation mechanism of DA, AA and Tyr on NGMG are different owing to a different type of interaction of the modified layer with the bio-analytes. The modified electrode, NGMG has high selectivity and sensitivity in addition to other factors like low cost, convenient and a hassle free electrochemical method for simultaneous determination of DA, AA and Tyr in their ternary mixture.

Introduction: In this study, solar exfoliated graphite oxide modified glassy carbon electrode was used for the anodic oxidation of epinephrine in a phosphate buffer medium at pH7. The modified electrode showed fast response and sensitivity towards Epinephrine Molecule (EP). The electrode was characterized electrochemically through Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV). Area of the electrode enhanced three times during modification and studies reveal that the oxidation process of EP occurs by an adsorption controlled process involving two electrons. The results showed a detection limit of 0.50 ± 0.01μM with a linear range up to 100 μM. The rate constant calculated for the electron transfer reaction is 1.35 s-1. The electrode was effective for simultaneous detection of EP in the presence of Ascorbic Acid (AA) and Uric Acid (UA) with well-resolved signals. The sensitivity, selectivity and stability of the sensor were also confirmed. Methods: Glassy carbon electrode modified by reduced graphene oxide was used for the detection and quantification of epinephrine using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. Results: The results showed an enhancement in the electrocatalytic oxidation of epinephrine due to the increase in the effective surface area of the modified electrode. The anodic transfer coefficient, detection limit and electron transfer rate constant of the reaction were also calculated. Conclusion: The paper reports the determination of epinephrine using reduced graphene oxide modified glassy carbon electrode through CV and DPV. The sensor exhibited excellent reproducibility and repeatability for the detection of epinephrine and also its simultaneous detection of ascorbic acid and uric acid, which coexist in the biological system.

This work is devoted to the synthesis and characterization of new indolizine derivatives. Particular attention was paid to the electrochemical investigations by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The redox processes for each compound were established, analyzed and assessed to the particular functional groups at which they take place. This assessment was based on detailed comparison between the electrochemical behaviour of the compounds, similarities in their structure, as well as substituent effects.

In this paper, graphene (Gr)/Co3O4 nanocomposite was synthesized and utilized for the development of a novel electrochemical sensor to detect tramadol. Tramadol determination was examined by linear sweep voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, and chronoamperometry on Gr/Co3O4 nanocomposite-modified screen-printed electrode (Gr/Co3O4/SPE) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Under the optimized condition, the detection limit of tramadol is 0.03 μM (S/N = 3) in the linear ranges of 0.1–500.0 μM. Furthermore, Gr/Co3O4/SPE was satisfactorily utilized to detect tramadol in tramadol tablet and urine specimens.
