In the present work, a convenient, efficient and disposable electrochemical sensor has been developed by electropolymerizing methylene blue (PMB) on the surface of a pencil graphite electrode (PGE), which facilitates the electrochemical analysis of an antioxidant l-Ascorbic Acid (AA). The structural characteristics of both the methylene blue modified pencil graphite electrode (PMB/PGE) and the bare pencil graphite electrode (BPGE) have been examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in conjunction with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). Additionally, the charge transfer behavior has been evaluated using the electron impedance spectroscopy (EIS).

This paper deals with the electrochemical degradation of Novacron Deep Red C-D (NDRCD) and Novacron Orange C-RN (NOCRN) reactive azo dyes from aqueous solution using graphite carbon electrodes. The results indicated that initial pH, current density and supporting electrolytes were played an important role in the degradation of dyes.
