In this study, pyrocatechol violet (Pcv) is proposed for the first time as an efficient electrocatalyst for oxidation of sulfide and flow injection analysis (FIA) of sulfide. A graphite pencil electrode (GPE) was modified with Pcv via immersion of the GPE into 0.01 M Pcv solution for 15 min. Cyclic voltammograms (CVs) demonstrated that Pcv/GPE exhibits a good electrocatalytic performance due to shift in the potential from +400 at bare GPE to +70 mV at Pcv/GPE and obtaining an enhancement in the peak current compared with the bare GPE. A linear range between 0.25 and 250 μM sulfide with a detection limit of 0.07 μM was obtained from the recorded current-time curves in Flow Injection Analysis (FIA) of sulfide. Sulfide in water samples was also successfully determined using the proposed FI amperometric methods.

In this study a new, simple, precise, accurate and economic electrochemical method was developed and validated for the voltammetric determination of zolpidem (ZP) using disposable pencil graphite (PG) electrode. The anodic oxidation of ZP on the surface of the PG electrode was examined in a britton robinson (BR) buffer. Square wave and cyclic voltammetry were used as electrochemical techniques in the potential range of 0-1.2 V in the pH 8 BR buffer. In cyclic voltammetry studies, the diffusion coefficient of ZP oxidation was found to be 3.6×10^-6 cm² s^-1. On the other hand, the ZP has shown a well-defined irreversible anodic peak at 0.98 V in the square wave voltammetry mode. The PG electrode, primarily being graphite which has a large active surface area gives rise to increasing peak current with respect to ZP electrooxidation. PG electrode showed an electrocatalytic effect in anodic oxidation of ZP. A linear relationship between catalytic current response and ZP concentration was obtained over a concentration range of 10-30 μM with R.S.D. values ranging from 0.29-3.89. Limits of detection and quantitation were found to be 1 and 3 μM, respectively. Finally, the PG electrode was successfully used to determine ZP in standard and tablet dosage forms with a mean recovery of 100.69 %.

의료용 센서들은 대부분 일회용 제품으로, 검사·진단 비용을 줄이기 위해서는 저가의 전극 소재 개발이 무엇보다 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 일회용 전기화학센서의 전극 소재로 pencil graphite를 도입하여 전처리 효과와 전도성 고분자 폴리아닐린(polyaniline; PANI) 및 금속 산화물 CuO NPs를 이용한 표면 개질(modification)을 통한 전기화학적 특성을 조사하고, 이를 글루코스 검출용 비효소 전기화학센서에 적용하였다. Pencil graphite electrode (PGE)의 표면 활성화를 위한 전처리는 화학적과 전기화학적으로 각각 진행되었으며, 전처리된 샘플들은 시간대전류법(CA)과 순환전압 전류법(CV), 전기화학 임피던스(EIS) 분석법을 이용한 전기화학적 특성 조사를 통해 최종적으로 전기화학적 전처리 방법을 채택하여 CuO NPs/PANI/E-PGE를 제작하였다. 이를 적용한 비효소적 글루코스 검출용 전기화학 센서는 0.282 ~2.112 mM과 3.75423~50 mM의 선형 구간에서 각각 239.18 mA/mM×cm²과 36.99 mA/mM×cm² 정도의 감도(sensitivity)와 17.6 μM의 검출 한계(detection limit), 글루코스에 대한 좋은 선택도(selectivity)를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 PGEs를 활용한 다양한 일회용 센서 응용과 저가의 고성능 전극 소재 개발 가능성을 확인하고, 더 많은 분야에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A voltammetric toxic metal of cadmium detection was studied using a fluorine doped graphite pencil electrode (FPE) in a seawater electrolyte. In this study, square wave (SW) stripping and chronoamerometry were used for determination of Cd(II) in seawater. Affordable pencils and an auxiliary electrode were used as reference. All experiments in this study could be performed at reasonable cost by using graphite pencil. The application was performed on the tissue of contaminated soil earthworm. The results show that the method can be applicable for vegetables and in vivo fluid or medicinal diagnosis.

Threelectrodes systems were used in stripping voltammetry (SW) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) instead of the expensive platinum and Ag/AgCl reference electrodes. Moreover, the electrolyte solution was used with deep seawater, which can reduce water pollution, is more eco-friendly, and has a lower cost. The analytical optimum parameters measured via CV and SW and with working ranges were obtained from 10 to 80 ug/L using fluorine immobilized on a graphite pencil electrode (FE). Under the optimum conditions, the analytical detection limit of 6.30 ug/LAu was obtained. The results of the study can be applied to diagnostic assay for natural minerals and human finger tissue.

A voltammetric investigation of Au assay was conducted at a low cost, using Nafion and DNA immobilized on a graphite Pencil working electrode (NDP) with a black lead counter and reference. The following optimal parameters were found: 0.4 V amplitude, 500 Hz frequency, -0.7 V initial potential, and 0.015 V increment potential. These optimal conditions were also applied to sand obtained from the river site. The aforementioned technique is simpler and less costly compared to the common voltammetry and spectrophotometric methods.

In this paper, a potentiometric sensor based on polyaniline conducting polymer for potentiometric determination of Cr (VI) ions is reported. Polyaniline was synthesized electrochemically (cyclic voltammetry method) onto a micro pencil graphite electrode (0.7 mm diameter) in the presence of HCl and diphenylcarbazide (termed as (PGE/PAni/DPC). Some initial experiments were performed in order to find out the optimized conditions for preparation of the introduced Cr (VI) sensor electrode. The plot of E vs. log [Cr (VI)], showed a linear response in the range from $1.0{\times}10^{-6}$ to $1.0{\times}10^{-1}$ M. High repeatability with the detection limit of $8.0{\times}10^{-7}$ M was obtained.
