Nanowires of polytetrakis(o-aminophenyl)porphyrin (PTAPPNW) were fabricated by electrochemical polymerization with the cyclic voltammetric method in anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes. The glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified by PTAPPNW, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) and Nafion as a binder was investigated with voltammetric methods in a phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution at pH 7.4. The PTAPPNW + SWNT + Nafion/GCE exhibited strongly enhanced voltammetric and amperometric sensitivity towards hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$), which shortened the response time and enhanced the sensitivity for $H_2O_2$ determination at an applied potential of 0.0 V by amperometric method. The PTAPPNW + SWNT + Nafion/GCE can be used to monitor $H_2O_2$ at very low concentrations in biological pH as an efficient electrochemical $H_2O_2$ sensor.

A highly sensitive electrochemical detection method for dopamine (DA) has been developed by relying on a multiwalled carbon nanotube (CNT)-sol-gel titania-Nafion composite film modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards DA. Therefore, the CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode showed improved voltammetric and amperometric responses for DA compared to those obtained with both titania-Nafion/GC and Nafion/GC electrodes. The CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode gave a linear response ($R^2$ = 0.999) for DA from $0.5\;{\mu}M$ to 0.5 mM with a detection limit (S/N = 3) of $0.1\;{\mu}M$ and a good sensitivity of 150 mA/M while other electrodes such as CNT-Nafion/GC, titania-Nafion/GC, and a bare GC gave a sensitivity of 89, 39, and 36 mA/M, respectively. Besides, the CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode displayed very fast response time within 2 s. The modified electrode showed good selectivity against ascorbic acid. The modified electrode showed good stability and reproducibility. The CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode was applied to the determination of DA in urine and serum samples.

A highly sensitive electrochemical detection method for bisphenol A (BPA) has been developed by using multi-walled carbon nanotube (CNT)-doped titania-Nafion composite modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards BPA. Therefore, the CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode showed improved voltammetric responses for BPA compared to that obtained with bare GC electrode. In addition, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a cationic surfactant, was added into the BPA sample solution in order to accumulate BPA through hydrophobic interaction between CTAB and BPA. The CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode gave a linear response ($r^2$ = 0.999) for BPA from $1.0{\times}10^{-8}$ M to $5.0{\times}10^{-6}$ M with a detection limit of $9.0{\times}10^{-10}$ M (S/N = 3). The modified electrode showed good selectivity against interfering species and also exhibited good reproducibility. The present electrochemical sensor based on the CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode was applied to the determination of BPA in food package samples.

An electrochemical study related to the redox characteristics of Ethyl-3-acetyl-6-methyl-1, 4-diphenyl-4, 3a-dihydro-1, 3, 4-triazolino[3, 4-a] pyrimidine-5-carboxylate ester and its derivatives (1a-f) and (2a-e) in nonaqueous solvents such as 1, 2-dichloroethane (DCE), dichloromethane (DCM), acetonitrile (AN), dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) and tetrahydrofurane (THF) using $0.1\;mol\;dm^{-3}$ tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) as a supporting electrolyte at platinum, glassy carbon and gold electrodes, has been performed using cyclic voltammetry (CV). Controlled potential electrolysis (CPE) is also carried out to elucidate the course of different electrochemical reactions through the separation and identification of the intermediates and final electrolysis products. The redox mechanism is suggested and proved. It was found that all the investigated compounds in all solvents are oxidized in a single irreversible one electron donating process following the well known pattern of the EC-mechanism to give a dimer. On the other hand, these compounds are reduced in a single irreversible one electron step to form the anion radical, which is basic enough to proton from the media forming the radical which undergoes tautomerization and then dimerization processes to give also another bis-compound through N-N linkage formation.

A simple and sensitive electrochemical sensor for simultaneous and quantitative detection of ranitidine (RT) and metronidazole (MT) was developed, based on a poly(thionine)-modified anodized glassy carbon electrode (PTH/GCE). The modified electrode showed the excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the reduction of both RT and MT in 0.1M phosphate buffer solution (PBS, pH 7.0). The peak-to-peak separations (${\Delta}E_p$) for the simultaneous detection of RT and MT between the two reduction waves in CV and DPV were increased significantly from ca. 100 mV at anodized GCE, to ca. 550 mV at the PTH/GCE. The reduction peak currents of RT and MT were linear over the range from 35 to $500{\mu}M$ in the presence of 200 and $150{\mu}M$ of RT and MT, respectively. The sensor showed the sensitivity of 0.58 and $0.78{\mu}A/cm^2/{\mu}M$ with the detection limits (S/N = 3) of 1.5 and $0.96{\mu}M$, respectively for RT and MT.

An electrochemical study related to the electroreduction of 4-amino-6-methyl-3-thio-1,2,4-triazin-5-one(I), 6-methyl-3-thio-1,2,4-triazin-5-one(II), and 2,4-dimetoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine(III) in dimethylformamide at glassy carbon electrode has been performed. A variety of electrochemical techniques, such as differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry, and coulometry were employed to clarify the mechanism of the electrode process. The compounds I and II with thiol group exhibited similar redox behavior. Both displayed two cathodic peaks, whereas the third compound, III, without thiol group showed only one cathodic peak in the same potential range of the second peak of I and II. The results of this study suggest that in the first step the one electron reduction of thiol produced a disulfide derivative and in the second reduction step the azomethane in the triazine ring was reduced in two electron processes. A reduction mechanism for all three compounds is proposed on this basis. In addition, some numerical constants, such as diffusion constant, transfer coefficient, and rate constant of coupled chemical reaction in the first reduction peak were also reported.

Cofacial bis-cobalt tetraphenylporphyrin(Co-TPP) 유도체 화합물들이 수식된 유리질 탄소 전극과 carbon microelectrode을 작업 전극으로 사용하여 여러가지 pH 용액에서 순환 전압전류법 및 시간 전류법에 의해 산소의 환원반응을 조사하였다. 산성용액에서 monomer인 cobalt tetraphenylporphyrin 화합물이 수식된 전극에서 산소의 환원반응경로는 중간 생성물인 H$_2$O$_2$로 가는 2전자 반응으로, dimer인 cofacial bis-cobalt tetraphenylporphyrin 유도체 화합물들이 수식된 전극에서는 최종 생성물인 H$_2$O로 가는 4전자 반응으로 진행되었다. 이와 같은 산소의 환원반응은 전체적으로 비가역적이며 확산지배적인 반응으로 주어졌다. pH 변화에 따른 산소의 환원전위는 pH 13에서 pH 4 까지는 직선관계가 성립하였으나 강한 산성용액에서는 이들 관계가 성립하지 않았다. 산성용액에서 산소의 환원전위는 알몸 유리질 탄소전극에서 보다 monomer Co-TPP 화합물이 수식된 유리질 탄소전극에서는 400 mV만큼, dimer Co-TPP 화합물이 수식된 전극에서는 750 mV 만큼 더 양전위 방향으로 이동되었다.

Determination of mercury(II) using Nafion-EDTA-modified glassy carbon electrodes is proposed. it is based on the chemical reactivity of an immobilized modifier, Nafion-EDTA. Differential pulse voltammetry is employed, and the oxidation of complexes, at +0.43V vs. Ag/AgCl, is observed. For a 5-min preconcentration period, a linear calibration curve is obtained for mercury(II) concentrations ranging from 1.0$\times$ 10$^{-8}$ to 1.0$\times$10$^{-6}$ M. Further, when an approximate amount of copper(II) is added to the test solution, We demonstrate that at a preconcentration time of 5 min the Nafion-EDTA-modified glassy carbon electrode has a dynamic range of 2 orders of magnitude(from 10$^{-10}$ to 10$^{-8}$ M) and the detection limit is as low as 0.5$\times$ 10$^{-10}$ M(0.01 ppb). This method is applied to the determination of mercury(II) in sea water(4.0$\times$10$^{-10}$ M, 0.08ppb). The result agrees satisfactorily with the value(below 0.1 ppb) measured by using ICP/MS.

본 연구에서는 고체 입자인 유리상 탄소입자와 액체인 수용액적을 이용한 접촉충전 비교 실험을 수행하여 액적 접촉충전 현상에 적용했던 완전도체 이론 적용의 적합성 및 고체 도체의 접촉충전 특성을 살펴보았다. 동일한 실험 장치내에서 비슷한 크기의 수용액적과 유리상 탄소입자를 이용해 가해준 전기장의 세기와 입자의 크기를 변화시키며 충전량을 측정하고 완전도체 이론과의 비교를 통해 충전 특성을 분석하였다. 유리상 탄소입자의 접촉충전 현상은 기본적으로 완전 도체 이론으로 설명이 가능하였으나 실제 충전되는 충전량은 이론치 대비 70~80% 수준으로 측정되었으며 이는 고체 입자가 전극과 접촉하여 전하가 전달되는 과정 중 전극과 오일 사이 오일 필름의 형성으로 주어진 짧은 시간 내에 충분한 전하의 전달이 이루어지지 못해 나타난 것으로 추정된다. 본 연구 결과는 고체 도체의 접촉충전 특성에 대한 이해를 높여 향후 이 분야에 중요한 기초 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The cobalt (Co(II)) ion is a main component of alloys and considered to be carcinogenic, especially due to the carcinogenic and toxicological effects in the aquatic environment. The toxic trace of the Co(II) detection was conducted using the infrared photodiode electrode (IPDE) using a working electrode, via the cyclic and square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry. The results indicated a sensitive oxidation peak current of Co(II) on the IPDE. Under the optimal conditions, the common-type glassy carbon, the metal platinum, the carbon paste, and the carbon fiber microelectrode were compared with the IPDE in the electrolyte using the standard Co(II). The IPDE was found to be far superior to the others.
