Different carbon electrodes were explored for application in electroanalysis, namely for sensing of bismuth ion as model analyte. Carbon materials tested included glassy carbon, basal and edge plane pyrolytic graphite, as well as nanostructured carbonized polyaniline prepared in the presence of 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid. Bismuth ion was chosen as model analyte as protocol for its detection and quantifications is still to be determined. Herein, anodic stripping voltammetry was used with study of effect of several parameters such as scan rate and deposition time. Electrode based on carbonized polyaniline showed the highest activity for bismuth ion sensing in terms of the highest current densities recorded both in a laboratory and in real sample, while basal plane pyrolytic graphite electrode gave the lowest limit of detection.

Poly(1,5-diaminonaphthalene) has been electropolymerized on the screen-printed device with a three-electrode configuration. The modified electrodes have been developed as the new electrode for electrochemical determination of trace levels of lead ions (Pb2+). The poly(1,5-diaminonaphthalene) film prevents the deposition of Pb2+ into the surface defects of the bare carbon screen-printed electrode and possesses sensitivity to heavy metal ions thanks to amine and secondary amino groups on the polymer chain. The square wave anodic stripping voltammetry was applied to detect Pb2+ ions, showing a sharp stripping peak with the linear range from 0.5 μg·L-1 to 5.0 μg·L-1 ( R 2 = 0.9929 ). The limit of detection was found to be 0.30 μg·L-1. The sensors were applied to the analysis of Pb2+ in the tap water sample matrix with satisfactory results.

A simple, rapid, selective and sensitivity approach for the determination of Pb(II) in G. fisheri seaweed is described. The method is based on differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) at hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) vs. Ag/AgCl in 0.2 M ammonium acetate (NH4OAc) pH 7.5. The operating analytical conditions; deposition potential (Edep) of -0.4 V, peak potential of -0.78 V, and mercury dropped size of 3 were performed. To see the sensitivity of Pb(II) measurement, the influences of deposition time and stirring speed were investigated. From the findings, the optimal parameters; deposition time of 90 s, and stirring speed of 2000 rpm were obtained. In these conditions, the limit of detection (3σ) of 0.60 µgL-1 and the linear range extended to 12.50 µgL-1 (r2=0.9999) were obtained. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of triplicate measurements using 1.8 µgL-1 of Pb(II) was 1.22%. The method was then applied to measure Pb(II) in real samples. In this study, the desorption efficiency of edible eluents by batch method was determined. The method is based on Pb(II) desorption using different types of edible eluents; acetic acid (HOAc), citric acid (CTA), sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and chitosan (CTS). Batch desorption of Pb(II) from seaweed soaked in individual eluent was performed by shaking at 100 rpm for 2 h at ambient temperature. Results show that the most effective eluent in desorbing the contaminated Pb(II) from G. fisheri with up to 82% of desorption efficiency for bound Pb(II) was EDTA solution.

In this research, determination of Cu(II) using anodic stripping voltammetry were conducted by measuring the current peak of Cu(II) standard solution and the concentration of the metals in the seawater around Benoa Port. Deposition time and scan rate was optimized before validation. Parameters of the method validation examined were linear range concentration, limit of detection, repeatability, and % recovery. Seawater samples were collected from two different locations, which were Dermaga Ikan Tuna and Dermaga 2. The result showed the optimum deposition time and scan rate were 540 s and 7 mV/s. Linear range concentrations were 50 to 1000 ppb with correlation coefficient of 0,9998 and the detection limit of 29 ppb. Horwitz Ratio (HorRat) factor was obtained less than 2 for repeatability measurement and percent recovery was 100.58%. The concentration of Cu(II) was found to be 188 ppb in Dermaga Ikan Tuna and 117 ppb in Dermaga 2. The concentration of Cu(II) in the seawater around Benoa Port was higher than the treshold according to Ministry of  Environment Regulation No. 51/2004 for Seawater Quality Standard.

The widely spread use of the hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) for multi-ion analysis is primarily ascribed to the following reasons: (i) excellent reproducibility owing to the easy renewal of the electrode surface avoiding any hysteresis effect (i.e., a new identical drop is generated for each measurement to be accomplished); (ii) a wide cathodic potential window originating from the passive hydrogen evolution and solvent electrolysis; (iii) the ability to form amalgams with many redox-active metal ions; and (iv) the achievement of (sub)nanomolar limits of detection. On the other hand, the main controversy of the HMDE usage is the high toxicity level of mercury, which has motivated the scientific community to question whether the HMDE deserves to continue being used despite its unique capability for multi-metal detection. In this work, the simultaneous determination of Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, and Cu2+ using the HMDE is investigated as a model system to evaluate the main features of the technique. The analytical benefits of the HMDE in terms of linear range of response, reproducibility, limit of detection, proximity to ideal redox behavior of metal ions and analysis time are herein demonstrated and compared to other electrodes proposed in the literature as less-toxic alternatives to the HMDE. The results have revealed that the HMDE is largely superior to other reported methods in several aspects and, moreover, it displays excellent accuracy when simultaneously analyzing Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, and Cu2+ in such a complex matrix as digested soils. Yet, more efforts are required towards the definitive replacement of the HMDE in the electroanalysis field, despite the elegant approaches already reported in the literature.

Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs), especially carbon nanotubes and graphene, have been attracting tremendous attention in environmental analysis for rapid and cost effective detection of various analytes by electrochemical sensing. CNMs can increase the electrode effective area, enhance the electron transfer rate between the electrode and analytes, and/or act as catalysts to increase the efficiency of electrochemical reaction, detection, adsorption and removal are of great significance. Various carbon nanomaterials including carbon nanotubes, graphene, mesoporous carbon, carbon dots exhibited high adsorption and detection capacity. Carbon and its derivatives possess excellent electro catalytic properties for the modified sensors, electrochemical methods usually based on anodic stripping voltammetry at some modified carbon electrodes. Metal electrode detection sensitivity is enhanced through surface modification of working electrode (GCE). Heavy metals have the defined redox potential. A remarkable deal of efficiency with the electrochemical sensors can be succeeded by layering the surface of the working electrode with film of active electro-catalytic species. Usually, electro catalysts used for fabrication of sensors are surfactants, nano-materials, polymers, carbon-based materials, organic ligands and biomaterials.

In this work, a microfabricated Au-film sensor was designed and fabricated for thevoltammmetric determination of Hg(II). The electrode was fabricated on a silicon chip with astandard microengineering approach utilizing photolithography for patterning the electrode shapeand sputtering for deposition of thin Cr and Au films on the surface of the sensors. The sensorswere used for the determination of trace Hg(II) with anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV): initiallyHg(II) in the sample was accumulated on the Au working electrode surface by reduction andformation of an Au(Hg) amalgam followed by oxidation of the preconcentrated metallic Hg using asquare wave voltammetric scan. The limit of detection was 1.5μgL−1 and the coefficient of variationof 10 consecutive measurements was 3.1%.

An integrative electroanalytical method was developed for detecting Cd[Formula: see text] and Pb[Formula: see text] ions in aqueous solutions. Polysulfide/graphene (RGO-S) nanocomposites were prepared and their performance as electrochemical sensors for Cd[Formula: see text] and Pb[Formula: see text] was evaluated. The RGO-S nanocomposite was carefully characterized by scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The as-prepared RGO-S was incorporated into a pyrolytic graphite electrode (RGO-S/PGE) and used for detecting trace amount of Cd[Formula: see text] and Pb[Formula: see text] by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. Under optimal conditions, the stripping peak current of RGO-S/PGE varies linearly with heavy metal ion concentration in the ranges 2.0–300[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]g L[Formula: see text] for Cd[Formula: see text] and 1.0–300[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]g L[Formula: see text] for Pb[Formula: see text]. The limits of detection for Cd[Formula: see text] and Pb[Formula: see text] were estimated to be about 0.67[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]g L[Formula: see text] and 0.17[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]g L[Formula: see text], respectively. The prepared electrochemical heavy-metal-detecting electrode provides good repeatability and reproducibility with high sensitivity, making it a suitable candidate for monitoring Cd[Formula: see text] and Pb[Formula: see text] concentrations in aqueous environmental samples.
