Novel nanoarchitectures based on lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) were designed and realized for electrochemical eco-friendly biosensing development. Two types of lignin nanoparticles were utilized for the modification of a gold bare electrode, namely organosolv (OLNPs) and kraft lignin (KLNPs) nanoparticles, synthetized from a sulfur-free and a sulfur lignin, respectively. The electrochemical behavior of LNP-modified electrodes was studied using two electrochemical techniques, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Compared to the gold bare electrode, an evident decrease in the faradaic current and increase of the ΔEp were observed in cyclic voltammograms. In addition, larger semicircles were registered in Nyquist plots. These results suggest a strong inhibition effect of the electron transfer reaction by LNPs layer, especially in the case of KLNPs. The modified electrodes, properly assembled with concanavalin A (ConA) and glucose oxidase (GOx), were successively tested as biosensing platforms for glucose, showing a sensitivity of (4.53 ± 0.467) and (13.74 ± 1.84) μA mM−1 cm2 for Au/SAMCys/OLNPs/ConA/GOx and Au/KLNPs/ConA/GOx biosensors, respectively. Finally, different layers of the KNLPs/ConA/GOx-modified Au electrode were tested, and the three-layered Au(KNLPs/ConA/GOx)3 showed the best analytical performance.

A recently synthesized azulene-tetrazole molecular receptor is proposed in this paper to continue the series of azulene substituted compounds that have been developed to build polyazulene-based materials for heavy metal (HM) ion detection. This study focuses on characterization of (E)-5-((6-t-butyl-4,8-dimethylazulen-1-yl) diazenyl)-1H-tetrazole (L) by electrochemical techniques in view of its use for designing electrochemical sensors for HM ion complexation. The character of redox processes was proved by cyclic, differential pulse, and rotating disk electrode voltammetry. An in-depth thermodynamic study of the complexation properties of the free ligand with Pb(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solutions was performed, and the stoichiometry and stability constant values were determined. Chemically modified electrodes (CMEs) based on L (L-CMEs) prepared by controlled potential electrolysis (CPE) at different applied potentials and charges were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Their surface morphology was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The complexing properties of L-CMEs were investigated towards the detection of HM ions by anodic stripping and compared to the stability constants of the complexes in solution. Voltametric curves showed well-defined peaks for Pb (II), Cd (II), Cu (II) and Hg (II), but the responses differ from each other and vary depending on the ion concentrations in the accumulation solutions. The best results were obtained for Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions. The results obtained for Pb(II) are promising and can be used for its analysis in water solutions (detection limit of about 10−9 M).

The oxidative chemical polymerizations of three isomers of aminophenol,ortho,meta, andpara(PoAP, PmAP, and PpAP), were performed in aqueous HCl using ammonium persulfate as an oxidant at 0–3°C. The synthesized polymers were characterized by employing elemental analysis, GPC, UV-VIS-NIR, FT-IR, XRD, and TGA. The corrosion inhibition effect of these three polymers on mild steel in 1 M HCl solution was studied by using electrochemical techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. These measurements reveal that the inhibition efficiency obtained by these polymers increased by increasing their concentration. The inhibition efficiency follows the order PpAP > PoAP > PmAP. The results further revealed that PpAP at a concentration of 250 mg/L furnishes maximum inhibition efficiency (96.5%). Polarization studies indicated that these three polymers act as the mixed type corrosion inhibitors.

The inhibitory effect of glycerol on copper corrosion in aerated NaCl (0.5 M) solutions at three pH values (4, 7, and 10) was evaluated. Inhibition efficiency was assessed with conventional electrochemical techniques: open circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance analysis. Glycerol reduced the corrosion rate of copper in NaCl solutions. The best inhibition effect (η≈83%) was produced in alkaline (pH 10) chloride media. This effect can be ascribed to increased viscosity and the presence of copper-glycerol complexes.

Background: Tricyclic psychotropic drugs are defined as a tricyclic rings of the dibenzazepine group with the presence of sulfur and nitrogen atoms. They have been prescribed for antidepressive therapy over the years. Due to their medical importance, many analytical methods have been developed for their monitoring. However, benefits of electrochemical techniques such as costeffectiveness, fast, easy operation and non-destructiveness make them appropriate analytical methods for drug assays. Electrochemical determinations of pharmaceuticals require suitable working electrodes. During years, many electrodes are modified by a variety of modifiers and several sensors were developed based on them. In this regard, nanomaterials, due to their remarkable properties, are one of the most important choices. Objective: Here, the application of electroanalytical methods in the determination of electroactive tricyclic psychotropic drugs will be reviewed and the nanomaterials which are used for improvements of the working electrodes will be considered.

Anticorrosive Pigments

Purpose This study aims to apply novel anticorrosive pigments containing silica fume-phosphates (Si-Ph), which were prepared using core-shell technique by covering 80-90 per cent silica fume (core) with 10-20 per cent phosphates (shell) previously, to play dual functions simultaneously as anticorrosive pigments in coating formulations and as an anticorrosive admixture in concrete even if it is not present in the concrete itself. Two comparisons were held out to show the results of coatings on rebars containing core-shell pigments in concrete, and concrete admixtured with silica fume can perform a dual function as anticorrosive pigment and concrete admixture. The evaluation of corrosion protection efficiency of coatings containing core-shell pigments and those containing phosphates was performed. Design/methodology/approach Simple chemical techniques were used to prepare core-shell pigments, and their characterization was carried out in a previous work. These pigments were incorporated in solvent-based paint formulations based on epoxy resin. Different electrochemical techniques such as open-circuit potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to evaluate the anticorrosive efficiency of the new pigments. Findings The electrochemical measurements showed that concrete containing coated rebars with core-shell pigments exhibited almost similar results to that of concrete admixtured with silica fume. Also, the anticorrosive performance of coatings containing Si-Ph pigments offered protection efficiency almost similar to that of phosphates, proving that these new pigments can perform both roles as anticorrosive pigment and concrete admixture. Originality/value Although the new Si-Ph pigments contain more than 80 per cent waste material, its performance can be compared to original phosphate pigments in the reinforced concrete.
