In this paper, a screen-printed boron-doped electrode (aSPBDDE) was subjected to electrochemical activation by cyclic voltammetry (CV) in 0.1 M NaOH and the response to rifampicin (RIF) oxidation was used as a testing probe. Changes in surface morphology and electrochemical behaviour of RIF before and after the electrochemical activation of SPBDDE were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), CV and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The increase in number and size of pores in the modifier layer and reduction of charge transfer residence were likely responsible for electrochemical improvement of the analytical signal from RIF at the SPBDDE. Quantitative analysis of RIF by using differential pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetry in 0.1 mol L−1 solution of PBS of pH 3.0 ± 0.1 at the aSPBDDE was carried out. Using optimized conditions (Eacc of −0.45 V, tacc of 120 s, ΔEA of 150 mV, ν of 100 mV s−1 and tm of 5 ms), the RIF peak current increased linearly with the concentration in the four ranges: 0.002–0.02, 0.02–0.2, 0.2–2.0, and 2.0–20.0 nM. The limits of detection and quantification were calculated at 0.22 and 0.73 pM. The aSPBDDE showed satisfactory repeatability, reproducibility, and selectivity towards potential interferences. The applicability of the aSPBDDE for control analysis of RIF was demonstrated using river water samples and certified reference material of bovine urine.

AbstractThis work compares the electrochemical impedance response of polished and unpolished boron doped diamond (BDD) electrodes, during mercury detection measurements. For each substrate type both bare electrodes and electrodes decorated with average diameter 30 nm AuNPs were used, to investigate the role of AuNPs during mercury sensing with diamond electrodes. In square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) measurements for mercury detection, the mercury ions in the electrolyte are deposited onto, then stripped from the diamond electrode surface. To investigate the different electrode performances during these steps, the EIS measurements were made at the deposition and stripping potentials, alongside scans at open circuit potential for comparison. The performance of the electrodes is assessed in terms of their electron transfer rate (k0). The electrodes decorated with AuNPs are shown to have lower capacitance and higher reactivity than the bare pBDD and BDD electrodes, until the mercury concentration in the electrolyte is < 500 µM, when the sp2/sp3 carbon ratio at the surface of the electrodes has a greater influence on the sensitivity for mercury detection than the presence of AuNPs.

A sensitive electroanalytical methodology for the determination of resveratrol is presented for the first time using adsorptive stripping voltammetry at a bare boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode. In cyclic voltammetry, resveratrol shows one irreversible and an adsorption-controlled oxidation peak at a BDD electrode. The voltammetric results indicated that in the presence of hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, the BDD electrode remarkably enhanced the oxidation of resveratrol, which leads to an improvement in the peak current with a shift of the peak potential to more positive values. Using the square-wave stripping mode, the compound yielded a well-defined voltammetric response in 0.1 M nitric acid solution containing 100 ?mol L-1 hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide at 0.74 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), after 60 s accumulation at the open-circuit condition. A linear calibration graph was obtained in the concentration range 0.025 to 60.0 ?g mL-1, with a detection limit of 0.0063 ?g mL-1. The applicability of the proposed method was verified by analysis of resveratrol in commercial dietary supplements.

In this work, an electrochemically activated screen-printed carbon electrode modified with sodium dodecyl sulfate (aSPCE/SDS) was proposed for the simultaneous determination of paracetamol (PA), diclofenac (DF), and tramadol (TR). Changes of surface morphology and electrochemical behaviour of the electrode after the electrochemical activation with H2O2 and SDS surface modification were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The influence of various parameters on the responses of the aSPCE/SDS such as pH and concentration of the buffer, SDS concentration, and techniques parameters were investigated. Using optimised conditions (Eacc. of −0.4 V, tacc. of 120 s, ΔEA of 150 mV, ν of 250 mV s−1, and tm of 10 ms), the aSPCE/SDS showed a good linear response in the concentration ranges of 5.0 × 10−8–2.0 × 10−5 for PA, 1.0 × 10−9–2.0 × 10−7 for DF, and 1.0 × 10−8–2.0 × 10−7 and 2.0 × 10−7–2.0 × 10−6 mol L−1 for TR. The limits of detection obtained during the simultaneous determination of PA, DF, and TR are 1.49 × 10−8 mol L−1, 2.10 × 10−10 mol L−1, and 1.71 × 10−9 mol L−1, respectively. The selectivity of the aSPCE/SDS was evaluated by examination of the impact of some inorganic and organic substances that are commonly present in environmental and biological samples on the responses of PA, DF, and TR. Finally, the differential pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetric (DPAdSV) procedure using the aSPCE/SDS was successfully applied for the determination of PA, DF, and TR in river water and serum samples as well as pharmaceuticals.

AbstractThis paper examined for the first time, the possibilities of the usage of a boron-doped diamond electrode for the redox behavior of rutin using cyclic and adsorptive stripping voltammetry. The cyclic voltammograms showed a pair of redox peaks at lower potentials followed by an irreversible oxidation peak at higher positive potential. Using square-wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry, the compound yielded a well-defined voltammetric response in Britton-Robinson buffer, pH 4.0 at +0.48 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) (after 60 s accumulations at a fixed potential of 0.2 V). The calibration curve was linear in the concentration range from 0.01 µg mL−1 to 0.1 µg mL−1 (1.64×10−8 M − 1.64×10−7 M). A detection limit of 0.0017 µg mL−1 (2.78×10−9 M) was observed without any chemical modifications and electrochemical surface pretreatments. As an example, the practical applicability of boron-doped diamond electrode was tested with the measurement of rutin in dietary supplement products.
