RESUMEN
Significant enhancement of the ECL signals from the Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)/TPA system was achieved when using a BDD nanograss array, mainly because of the highly facile oxidation of TPA. The facile oxidation of TPA is due to the superior properties of the BDD nanograss array, such as improved electrocatalytic activity and accelerated electron transfer.
RESUMEN
We demonstrate electrochemically controlled release of chemodosimeters attached to ultrathin patterned platinum electrodes. Fluorescence and electrochemical methods have been employed for the detection of chemodosimeter modification/desorption and Cu(2+) binding/removal.
RESUMEN
Dopamine plays a significant role in the function of human metabolism. It is important to develop sensitive sensor for the determination of dopamine without the interference by ascorbic acid. This paper reports the synthesis of graphene using a modified Hummer's method and its application for the electrochemical detection of dopamine. Electrochemical measurements were performed at glassy carbon electrode modified with graphene via drop-casting method. Cyclic voltammogram of ferri/ferrocyanide redox couple at graphene modified electrode showed an increased current intensity compared with glassy carbon electrode and graphite modified electrode. The decrease of charge transfer resistance was also analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The capacity of graphene modified electrode for selective detection of dopamine was confirmed in a sufficient amount of ascorbic acid (1 mM). The observed linear range for the determination of dopamine concentration was from 4 microM to 100 microM. The detection limit was estimated to be 2.64 microM.
