The development of low-cost electrode devices from conductive materials has recently attracted considerable attention as a sustainable means to replace the existing commercially available electrodes. In this study, two different electrode surfaces (surfaces 1 and 2, denoted as S1 and S2) were fabricated from chocolate wrapping aluminum foils. Energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were used to investigate the elemental composition and surface morphology of the prepared electrodes. Meanwhile, cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were used to assess the electrical conductivities and the electrochemical activities of the prepared electrodes. It was found that the fabricated electrode strips, particularly the S1 electrode, showed good electrochemical responses and conductivity properties in phosphate buffer (PB) solutions. Interestingly, both of the electrodes can respond to the ruthenium hexamine (Ruhex) redox species. The fundamental results presented from this study indicate that this electrode material can be an inexpensive alternative for the electrode substrate. Overall, our findings indicate that electrodes made from chocolate wrapping materials have promise as electrochemical sensors and can be utilized in various applications.

Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is a diagnostic biomarker for type 2 diabetes. Traditional analytical methods for haemoglobin (Hb) detection rely on chromatography, which requires significant instrumentation and is labour-intensive; consequently, miniaturized devices that can rapidly sense HbA1c are urgently required. With this research, we report on an aptamer-based sensor (aptasensor) for the rapid and selective electrochemical detection of HbA1c. Aptamers that specifically bind HbA1c and Hb were modified with a sulfhydryl and ferrocene group at the 3′ and 5′-end, respectively. The modified aptamers were coated through sulfhydryl-gold self-assembly onto screen printed electrodes, producing aptasensors with built in electroactivity. When haemoglobin was added to the electrodes, the current intensity of the ferrocene in the sensor system was reduced in a concentration-dependent manner as determined by differential pulse voltammetry. In addition, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy confirmed selective binding of the analytes to the aptamer-coated electrode. This research offers new insight into the development of portable electrochemical sensors for the detection of HbA1c

The unique structural and electrochemical properties of graphene oxide (GO) make it an ideal material for the fabrication of biosensing devices. Therefore, in the present study, graphene oxide nanoparticles modified paper electrodes were used as a low-cost matrix for the development of an amperometric DNA sensor. The graphene oxide was synthesized using the modified hummers method and drop cast on a screen-printed paper electrode (SPPE) to enhance its electrochemical properties. Further, the GO/SPPE electrode was modified with a 5′NH2 labeled ssDNA probe specific to the htrA gene of Orientia tsutsugamushi using carbodiimide cross-linking chemistry. The synthesized GO was characterized using UV-Vis, FTIR, and XRD. The layer-by-layer modification of the paper electrode was monitored via FE-SEM, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The sensor response after hybridization with single-stranded genomic DNA (ssGDNA) of O. tsutsugamushi was recorded using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Methylene blue (1 mM in PBS buffer, pH 7.2) was used as a hybridization indicator and [Fe(CN)6]−3/−4 (2.5 mM in PBS buffer, pH 7.2) as a redox probe during electrochemical measurements. The developed DNA sensor shows excellent sensitivity (1228.4 µA/cm2/ng) and LOD (20 pg/µL) for detection of O. tsutsugamushi GDNA using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV).

Background: The unnatural levels of dopamine (DA) result in serious neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. Electrochemical methods which have the obvious advantages of simple operation and low-cost instrumentation were widely used for determination of DA. In order to improve the measurement performance of the electrochemical sensor, molecular imprinting technique and graphene have always been employed to increase the selectivity and sensitivity. Methods: An electrochemical sensor which has specific selectivity to (DA) was proposed based on the combination of a molecular imprinting polymer (MIP) with a graphene (GR) modified gold electrode. The performance and effect of MIP film were investigated by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) in the solution of 5.0 ×10-3 mol/L K3[Fe(CN)6] and K4[Fe(CN)6] with 0.2 mol/L KCl at room temperature. Results: This fabricated sensor has well repeatability and stability, and was used to determine the dopamine of urine. Under the optimized experiment conditions, the current response of the imprinted sensor was linear to the concentration of dopamine in the range of 1.0×10-7 ~ 1.0×10-5 mol/L, the linear equation was I (µA) = 7.9824+2.7210lgc (mol/L) with the detection limit of 3.3×10-8 mol/L. Conclusion: In this work, a highly efficient sensor for determination of DA was prepared with good sensitivity by GR and great selectivity of high special recognization ability by molecular imprinting membrane. This proposed sensor was used to determine the dopamine in human urine successfully.

AbstractNon-enzymatic electrochemical detection of catechol (CC) and hydroquinone (HQ), the xenobiotic pollutants, was carried out at the surface of novel carbon nanocoils/zinc-tetraphenylporphyrin (CNCs/Zn-TPP) nanocomposite supported on glassy carbon electrode. The synergistic effect of chemoresponsive activity of Zn-TPP and a large surface area and electron transfer ability of CNCs lead to efficient detection of CC and HQ. The nanocomposite was characterized by using FT-IR, UV/vis. spectrophotometer, SEM and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used for the electrochemical studies. CNCs/Zn-TPP/GCE nanosensor displayed a limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ) and sensitivity for catechol as 0.9 µM, 3.1 µM and 0.48 µA µM−1 cm−2, respectively in a concentration range of 25–1500 µM. Similarly, a linear trend in the concentration of hydroquinone detection was observed between 25 and 1500 µM with an LOD, LOQ and sensitivity of 1.5 µM, 5.1 µM and 0.35 µA µM−1 cm−2, respectively. DPV of binary mixture pictured well resolved peaks with anodic peak potential difference, ∆Epa(CC-HQ), of 110 mV showing efficient sensing of CC and HQ. The developed nanosensor exhibits stability for up to 30 days, better selectivity and good repeatability for eight measurements (4.5% for CC and 5.4% for HQ).

A rapid and sensitive sandwich electrochemical immunosensor was developed based on the fabrication of the graphene/polyaniline (GP/PANI) nanocomposite onto screen-printed gold electrode (SPGE) for detection of tuberculosis biomarker 10-kDa culture filtrate protein (CFP10). The prepared GP/PANI nanocomposite was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The chemical bonding and morphology of GP/PANI-modified SPGE were studied by Raman spectroscopy and FESEM coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, respectively. From both studies, it clearly showed that GP/PANI was successfully coated onto SPGE through drop cast technique. Cyclic voltammetry was used to study the electrochemical properties of the modified electrode. The effective surface area for GP/PANI-modified SPGE was enhanced about five times compared with bare SPGE. Differential pulse voltammetry was used to detect the CFP10 antigen. The GP/PANI-modified SPGE that was fortified with sandwich type immunosensor exhibited a wide linear range (20–100 ng/mL) with a low detection limit of 15 ng/mL. This proposed electrochemical immunosensor is sensitive, low sample volume, rapid and disposable, which is suitable for tuberculosis detection in real samples.

Fenthion, an organophosphate insecticide, is a cholinesterase inhibitor and is highly toxic. An electrochemical sensor based on molecularly imprinted polymer is developed here for its detection. For this purpose, 2-aminothiophenol mixed with gold nanoparticles was immobilized on screen-printed gold electrodes. The FEN pattern was then fixed before being covered with 2-aminothiophenol. Cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods were used for the electrochemical characterization. The low detection limit was 0.05 mg/Kg over a range of 0.01–17.3 µg/mL. The sensor was successfully applied for the determination of FEN in olive oil samples with high recovery values.

Mild steel materials have wide applications in marine construction, because they are low cost, available and easy to handle. However, they have to be protected from corrosive media by coating with polymer hybrid materials. This paper focuses on the anticorrosive properties of poly(4-methyl-5-vinylthiazole) PVTZ coatings on mild steel. Further the coating resistance is enhanced by incorporating Titania Nano particles (TiO2NPs). The nanoparticles were evaluated using X-ray diffraction studies (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). PVTZ and its TiO2 nanocomposite were coated on mild steel. Their anticorrosive behavior was analyzed by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 3.5% (w/v) NaCl.
