The use of mechanical activation (polishing) as a pre-treatment for screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) is reported and shown to give rise an improved electroanalytical response.
For the first time MDMA and PMA are simultaneously detected using electrochemical techniques.
We demonstrate, for the first time, that electroanalytical quantification of pindolol is actually possible using bare (unmodified) screen-printed graphite electrodes (SPEs).
We report a combination of HPLC and electrochemistry towards the detection heroin, fentanyl ten fentalogues.
The properties of carbon nano-onions (CNOs) make them attractive electrode materials/additives for the development low-cost, simple to use and highly sensitive Screen Printed Electrodes (SPEs). Here, we report first CNO-based ink fabrication low-cost disposable electrodes, leading high-performance sensors. Achieving a true dispersion CNOs is intrinsically challenging key aspect formulation. screen-printing formulation achieved by carefully selecting optimising conductive materials (graphite...
For the first time a novel indirect, independently validated, electrochemical protocol for sensing of MPA and 2-AI (“<italic>Synthacaine</italic>”) is reported.
In this paper the effect of solvent induced chemical surface enhancements upon graphitic screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) is explored. Previous literature has indicated that treating working electrode a SPE with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) offers improvements within electroanalytical response, resulting in 57-fold increment area compared to their unmodified counterparts. The protocol involves two steps: (i) placed into DMF for selected time, and (ii) it cured an oven at time temperature....
Wireless electrochemiluminescence is generated from functionalised gold microparticles using interdigitated, 3D printed, titanium arrays as feeder electrodes. Active transport and intense electric fields leads to bright electrochemiluminescence.
This paper describes the preparation, characterization and electroanalytical application of a composite consisting titanium phosphate modified with nickel hexacyanoferrate. Titanium (TiPh) was formed from reaction isopropoxide H3PO4 deionized water. Next, TiPh performed metal ion (Ni+2) potassium Hexacyanoferrate, designated as TiPhNIHCF. Spectroscopic techniques such vibrational spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance cyclic voltammetry were used to characterize...
