Some nano structured bimetallic NiPd electrocatalysts were electrodeposited on glassy carbon electrodes using a double potential step chronoamperometry. The morphology of the electrodeposited samples was investigated by field emission-scanning electron microscopy, while their compositions were evaluated using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. It was observed that the electrodeposited samples contained a low Ni content, in the range of 0.80 - 7.10%. The electrodeposited samples were employed as the anode electro-catalysts for the oxidation of sodium borohydride in NaOH solution (1.0 M) using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, rotating disk electrode, and impedance spectroscopy. The number of exchanged electrons, charge transfer resistances, apparent rate constants, and double layer capacitances were calculated for the oxidation of borohydride on the prepared catalysts. According to the results obtained, the NiPd-2 sample with the lowest Ni content (0.80%), presented the highest catalytic activity for borohydride oxidation compared with the other NiPd samples as well as the pure Pd sample. The anodic peak current density was obtained to be about 1.3 times higher on the NiPd-2 sample compared with that for the Pd sample.

In this study, an amperometric non-enzymatic glucose sensor was developed on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode by simply drop-casting the synthesized homogeneous suspension of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets with a copper metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) composite. Comprehensive analytical methods, including field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and amperometry, were used to investigate the surface and electrochemical characteristics of the h-BN-Cu-MOF composite. The FE-SEM, FT-IR, and XRD results showed that the h-BN-Cu-MOF composite was formed successfully and exhibited a good porous structure. The electrochemical results showed a sensor sensitivity of $18.1{\mu}A{\mu}M^{-1}cm^{-2}$ with a dynamic linearity range of $10-900{\mu}M$ glucose and a detection limit of $5.5{\mu}M$ glucose with a rapid turnaround time (less than 2 min). Additionally, the developed sensor exhibited satisfactory anti-interference ability against dopamine, ascorbic acid, uric acid, urea, and nitrate, and thus, can be applied to the design and development of non-enzymatic glucose sensors.

The electrochemical properties of the liposoluble vitamin $K_1$ adsorbed on bare and lipid coated glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) were studied in unbuffered and well buffered aqueous media. The reduction products of vitamin $K_1$ were characterized by employing cyclic voltammetry and the in situ UV-visible spectroelectrochemical technique. The radical species of vitamin $K_1$ cannot be observed at the bare GCEs in well buffered media. The formation of the anion radical of vitamin $K_1$ was observed in unbuffered solutions above pH 5.9 or at the lipid coated GCE in a well-buffered solution. UV-visible absorption bands of neutral vitamin $K_1$ were observed at 260 nm and 330 nm, and a band corresponding to the anion radical species was observed at 450 nm. The derivative cyclic voltabsorptometric (DCVA) curves obtained for electrochemical reduction of vitamin $K_1$ confirmed the presence of both neutral and anion radical species. The anion radical of vitamin $K_1$ formed at the hydrophobic conditions with phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipid coated electrode was stable enough to be observed in the spectroelectrochemical experiments.

Three new transition metal complexes based on Ozagrel $[Cu(Ozagrel)]_n$ (1), $[Zn(Ozagrel)(Cl)]_n$ (2), ${[Mn_2-(Ozagrel)(1,4-ndc)_2]{\cdot}(H_2O)}_n$ (3), (Ozagrel = 3-(4-((1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)acrylic acid; 1,4-ndc = 1,4-Naphthalenedicarboxylic acid) have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analyse, IR, TG, PXRD, electrochemical analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray structure analysis reveals that 1 and 3 are 3D coordination polymers, while complex 2 is a two-dimensional network polymer, the 2D layers are further packed into 3D supramolecular architectures that are connected through hydrogen bonds. The electrochemistry of 1-3 was studied by cyclic voltammetry in methanol and water using a glassy carbon working electrode. Also, thermal decomposition process and powder X-ray diffraction of complexes were investigated.

The simultaneous sensing of nitric oxide (NO) and its metabolite, nitrite $(NO_2^-)$ has been studied by Osteryoung square-wave voltarnmetery (OSWV) in physiological pH solution (0.1 M phosphate buffer solution, pH 7.2). Using an electrochemically pretreated glassy carbon (GC) electrode, OSWV was successfully applied to observe the well-separated oxidation peaks at ca. 0.58 and 0.80V vs. Ag/AgCI for NO and $(NO_2^-)$, respectively. This clear separation between the NO and $(NO_2^-)$ oxidation peaks may be due to the formation of surface oxides (e.g., quinone (C=O) or carboxylic $(COO^-)$ group) and surface defects introduced by the electrochemical pretreatment of GC electrodes.

3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde(3,4-DHB) was oxidatively el electropolymerized on glassy carbon (GC) electrodes to prepare CC/p-3,4-DHB type electrodes, which were subsequently modified with 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid(3,4-DHBA) using 0.05M HCI as a catalyst. The esterification reactions were performed between -OH sites on the polymeric film surface of the p-3,4-DHB and the -COOH sites within the 3,4-DHBA molecules in solution. These reactions had a rate constant value of $1.1\times10^{-1}\;s^{-1}$ for the esterification step as obtained from the first-order rate constant in the solution. The electrochemical responses of the GC/p-3,4-DHB-3,4-DHBA electrodes exert an influence upon the buffer solution, its pH and applied potential ranges. The redox process of the electrode was more easily controlled by charge transfer kinetics than that of the CC/p-3,4-DHB. The modified electrodes had redox active sites that were 10 times more active than those present before modification. The electrical admittance of the modified electrodes was also three times higher than that of the unmodified electrodes. After being annealed in ethanol for 20 hrs the electrodes brought about a 3.3 times greater change of water molecules in the redox reaction. The modified electrodes are stable in the potential range of 0.4 to 0.55V.

A novel HPLC method with electrochemical detection has been developed for the determination of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) in pharmaceutical products. rhEGF was separated from other components in formulation on a reversed-phase C18 column with 24% acetonitrile in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 4.75). The optimum electrochemical oxidation of EGF was obtained at 0.85 V vs. Ag/AgCl in a glassy carbon working electrode due to electroactive tyrosine, tryptophan, methionine, and arginine residues. The quantitation range was from 1.0 to 200 ng of rhEGF with the linear correlation coefficient greater than 0.999. The method was successfully applied for the quantitation of rhEGF in a pharmaceutical preparation.

High concentration of copper in mezcal, a representative Mexican spirituous alcoholic beverage, is a serious problem due to the damage that it may cause to human health. A cyclic voltammetry and square wave anodic stripping voltammetry study of copper (II) in three commercial mezcal samples based on glassy carbon electrode response was undertaken. The analysis was developed using a simulated matrix solution ($EtOH/H_2O$ (1:1), 0.1 M $LiClO_4$ and AcOH/AcONa 0.05 M/0.008 M), with Cu (II) concentrations in the range 0 - 1 ppm. Direct electrochemical analysis of mezcal samples was complicated by the presence of different organic compounds in the matrix. The analytical signal of Cu (II) in the spirituous was notably improved and the interferences caused by organic compounds were minimized, by diluting the mezcal samples 10% with $EtOH/H_2O$ (1:1) solution. An efficient quantification of Cu (II) was obtained from the calibration curve by the SWASV and using the internal standard method (Cd (II)) in commercial samples (1.2-6.7 ppm); the results were correlated satisfactorily with the values obtained by AAS.

A series of tetradentate Schiff base ligands; [1,2-bis(naphthylideneimino)ethane, 1,3-bis(naphthylideneimino)propane, 1,4-bis(naphthylideneimino)butane, and 1,5-bis(naphthylideneimino)pentane] and their Ni(Ⅱ) complexes have been synthesized. The properties of these ligands and their Ni(Ⅱ) complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR, UV-vis spectra, molar conductance, and thermogravimetric analysis. The mole ratio of Schiff base to Ni(Ⅱ) metal was found to be 1:1. The electrochemical redox process of the ligands and their Ni(Ⅱ) complexes in DMF and DMSO solution containing 0.1 M tetraethyl ammonium perchlorate (TEAP) as a supporting electrolyte have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, differential pulse voltammetry, and controlled potential coulometry at glassy carbon electrode. The redox process of the ligands was highly irreversible, whereas redox process of Ni(Ⅱ) complexes were observed as one electron transfer process in quasi-reversible and diffusion-controlled reaction. The electrochemical redox potentials of the Ni(Ⅱ) complexes were affected by the chelate ring size of ligands. The diffusion coefficients of Ni(Ⅱ) complexes containing 0.1 M TEAP in DMSO solution were determined to be 5.7-6.9 × 10-6 cm2/sec. Also the exchange rate constants were determined to be 1.8-9.5 × 10-2 cm2/sec. These values were affected by the chelate ring size of ligands.
