Article Synopsis
  • A new electrochemical hydride generator has been created to detect arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) using a tungsten wire as the cathode, which offers better durability and efficiency compared to traditional materials.
  • The performance of this generator was thoroughly analyzed, revealing detection limits of 0.10 µg/L for As and 0.15 µg/L for Sb, with high precision for repeated measurements.
  • This advanced hydride generator has been successfully used in testing tobacco samples for total levels of As and Sb, demonstrating its practical application in environmental analysis.

Two maximal potential-resolved flow injection-electrochemiluminescent (FI-ECL) peaks were observed for Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)/TPrA system at 0.90 and 1.05 V, and for Ru(phen)(3)(2+)/TPrA at 1.

A novel biosensor was fabricated by electrochemical deposition of gold nanoclusters on ultrathin overoxidized polypyrrole (PPyox) film, formed a nano-Au/PPyox composite on glassy carbon electrode (nano-Au/PPyox/GCE). The properties of the nanocomposite have been characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electrochemical investigations. The nano-Au/PPyox/GCE had strongly catalytic activity toward the oxidation of epinephrine (EP), uric acid (UA) and ascorbic acid (AA), and resolved the overlapping voltammetric response of EP, UA and AA into three well-defined peaks with a large anodic peak difference.

The adsorption and oxidation behavior of rutin was studied by in-situ UV spectroelectrochemistry in a long optical-path thin-layer electrochemical cell with a graphite-wax electrode. The dynamic UV spectra of rutin under potentiostatic oxidation were recorded, which indicated the formation of o-quinonic structure. During the repetitive cyclic potential scans, cyclic voltabsorptomogram was recorded at the three characteristic wavelengths 346, 254 and 296 nm, respectively.

Kinetic degradation process of PAn films during aniline polymerization was in situ monitored by UV-Visible absorption spectrum. The effects of anodic potential, acidity and monomer concentration on the degradation process were also investigated. The experiment results displayed that the more positive the anodic potential, the higher the acidity of the solution, the higher the concentration of aniline, the faster the PAn films degradation speed.

A novel and effective approach to sensitively determine serotonin, known as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), has been proposed based on a 5,5-ditetradecyl-2-(2-trimethylammonioethyl)-1,3-dioxane bromide (DTDB) self-assembled lipid bilayer membrane modified glassy carbon electrode (DTDB/GCE). A DTDB/GCE shows the strong electrocatalysis for the oxidation of 5-HT, with the peak potential shifted to less positive value of 0.376 V vs.

The effect of pH on inhibition and enhancement of luminol-H2O2-Co2+ chemiluminescence (CL) by 18 phenolic compounds and 20 amino acids was studied. It was found that most of the tested compounds showed an inhibiting effect at lower pH and an enhancing effect at higher pH. At a midrange pH, for some phenolic compounds with two ortho-position -OH, both an inhibiting and an enhancing peak were simultaneously observed.

A flow injection (FI)-electrochemiluminescent (ECL) method has been developed for the determination of gallic acid, based on an inhibition effect on the Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)/tri- n-propylamine (TPrA) ECL system in pH 8.0 phosphate buffer solution. The method is simple and convenient with a determination limit of 9.

The study on the in-situ FTIR spectroelectrochemistry of a hybrid copper-cobalt hexacyanoferrate film modified platinum electrode was carried out. The variation of the FTIR spectra was well correlated to the redox process of CuCoHCF. The relative contribution of Cu(II) and Co(II) to the stretching vibration of CN was found to vary with the applied potential.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the electrochemical behavior of two nonlinear optical complexes, Ni(LSB)2 and Co(LSB)2, using electrochemistry and in-situ FTIR spectroelectrochemistry.
  • Ni(LSB)2 undergoes two reversible one-electron oxidation steps, while Co(LSB)2 has a single two-electron oxidation step.
  • The structural difference leads to varying electronic communication, with Ni(LSB)2 showing strong electron delocalization and a distinctive vibration band during oxidation, unlike Co(LSB)2, which displays low electron delocalization and has nearly identical ferrocene components.
