In the present study, an electrochemical sensor for the determination of Cu(II) ions in aqueous solutions was introduced. This study proposes an electrochemical method using the calyx [6]arene-TiO2 nanocomposite modified carbon paste electrode (calyx[6]arene-TiO2/CPE) for the determination of metal Cu2+ ion. Calyx[6]arene-TiO2 were synthesized using the hydrolysis method as the Cu-binding ionophore. The electrode surface was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the reduction and oxidation processes were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. The effect of modifier composition, scan rate, variation concentration, repeatability, and type of supporting electrolyte on the determination of metal ions was investigated. The best composition was 0.005 g calyx[6]arene-TiO2 in the carbon paste electrode with a scan rate of 0.5 V/s. The modified electrodes showed good performance for Cu2+ ion detection. Under optimum experimental conditions, a linear range for metal Cu(II) ions was from 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, and 1.0 ppm with respective currents of 500, 550, 600, 700, and 800 µA. The limit of detection (LOD) for metal Cu2+ ions is found to be 0.022 ppm with a relative standard deviation (%RSD) of 0.011%.

Abstract A small scale of environmentally hazardous 4-aminophenol can show significant impact on human health. Hence, in the present work, we have designed L-Valine film (Vf) modified carbon paste electrode (Vf/CPE) for the determination of 4-aminophenol. Herein, a facile in-situ L-Valine film was developed by electrochemical polymerization method onto the surface of bare carbon paste electrode (BCPE) with the help of cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique. A two-folds of electrochemical peak current enhancement was achieved at Vf/CPE in comparison with BCPE towards the determination of 4-aminophenol in optimum pH 7.0 of phosphate buffer solution (PBS). This was achieved due to the large surface area and conductive nature of Vf/CPE, which was concluded through the techniques of cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The effect of pH of buffer and scan rate studies were successfully studied. Morphological changes of BCPE and Vf/CPE was studied with the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The formation of Vf on CPE was also analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. Under the optimized conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) values of 4-aminophenol were estimated with the aid of chronoamperometry (CA) technique and was found to be 9.8 μM and 32 μM, respectively. Finally the proposed method was found to have satisfactory repeatability, reproducibility and stability results with low relative standard deviation (RSD) values.

In this study voltammetric behaviour of secnidazole (SCZ) at 1, 4-Benzoquinone Modified Carbon Paste Electrode (1,4-BQMCPE) was investigated in Britton Robinson buffer solution using cyclic voltammetric technique. A well-defined cathodic peak was observed for the SCZ in the entire pH range. The current increases steadily with scan rate and the results indicated that the process is irreversible reduction and adsorption controlled. The number of electrons transferred and different kinetic parameters like transfer coefficient and rate constant were calculated by using cyclic voltammetry technique. Differential pulse voltammetric method has been used for the determination of SCZ content in pharmaceutical tablet. This method enabled to determine SCZ in the concentration range 1.0 × 10-8 to 4.0 × 10-4 M. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were found to be 2.13 × 10-9 and 2.85 × 10-9 respectively. The method was applied to determine the content of SCZ in different sample solutions of SCZ tablet with excellent recovery and relative standard deviation results (99.892±1.53 respectively) for spiked standard SCZ in tablet sample solutions. The selectivity of the method for SCZ was further studied in the presence of selected potential interferents such as fluconazole, azithromycin etc and confirmed the potential applicability of the developed method for the determination of SCZ in real pharmaceutical tablets.

A polymeric thin film modified electrode, that is, poly(niacinamide) modified carbon paste electrode (MCPE), was developed for the electrochemical determination of catechol (CC) by using cyclic voltammetric technique. Compared to bare carbon paste electrode (BCPE), the poly(niacinamide) MCPE shows good electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of catechol in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) of physiological pH 7.4. All experimental parameters were optimized. Poly(niacinamide) modified carbon paste electrode gave a linear response between concentration of CC and its anodic peak current in the range within 20.6–229.0 μM. The limit of detection (3S/M) and limit of quantification (10S/M) were 1.497 μM and 4.99 μM, respectively. From the study of scan rate variation, the electrode process was found to be adsorption-controlled. The involvement of protons and electrons in the oxidation of CC was found to be equal. The probable electropolymerisation mechanism of niacinamide was proposed. Finally, this method can be used in development of a sensor for sensitive determination of CC.

Abstract Here we describe a new electrochemical sensor for PO4 3− detection in seawater. In this work, we prepared a carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with molybdate and pretreated in 0.1 M NaOH using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The modified CPE was employed for the determination of PO4 3− in artificial seawater (35 g/L NaCl) acidified with sulfuric acid to pH 0.8. An additional cleaning step (cyclic voltammetry (CV)) of 10 cycles in 0.1 M NaOH at −0.5 to 0.5 V was required between PO4 3− determinations to dissolve the phosphomolybdic complex formed on the surface of the working electrode. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results confirmed that the molybdate-modified CPE (molybdate/CPE) exhibited a low charge-transfer resistance (Rct) toward PO4 3−, and showed an improved analytical performance for different concentrations of PO4 3−. A calibration plot in the range of 0.01–5 µM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.003 µM was obtained. The proposed electrode demonstrated good precision (4.3% and 5.8%) for concentrations of 5 and 0.2 µM, respectively. The proposed method was employed to analyze PO4 3− in seawater samples on a research cruise in the North Sea, with results in close agreement to those obtained using conventional colorimetric measuremen

The objective of the work was to investigate the possibility of using a tricresyl phosphate-based carbon paste electrode for the direct voltammetric determination of the neonicotinoid insecticide thiamethoxam. The analyte was determined by differential pulse voltammetry in Britton-Robinson buffer pH 7.0 in the concentration range of 3.72 - 41.5 ?g mL-1. The reproducibility of the analytical signal at the 7.29 ?g mL-1 level was characterized by a relative standard deviation of 1.3 %. The applicability of the developed method was evaluated by determining thiamethoxam in a river water sample and a commercial formulation Actara 25 WG.

The potential capabilities and analytical performance of lab-on-valve (LOV) manifold as a front end to amperometry have been explored for the on-line determination of morin. Meanwhile, the electrochemical behaviors of morin were investigated based on polyvinylpyrrolidone- (PVP-) doped carbon paste electrode (CPE), which found that PVP can significantly improve its oxidation peak current. The excellent amperometric current response was achieved when the potential difference (ΔE) of 0.6 V was implemented in pH 6.5 phosphate buffer solution (PBS) that served as the supporting electrolyte. A well-defined oxidation peak has been obtained in studies using PVP as a modifier of CPE based on the oxidation of morin. The present work introduces the LOV technique as a useful tool for amperometric measurement, documents advantages of using programmable flow, and outlines means for miniaturization of assays on the basis of PVP modified CPE. The proposed method was applied successfully to the determination of morin in real samples, and the spiked recoveries were satisfactory.
