Enhanced voltammetric determination of metal ions by using a bismuthene-modified screen-printed electrode
A new bismuthene carbon-based screen-printed electrode (2D Bi exf -SPCE) was easily prepared, taking advantage of the strongest features of exfoliated layered bismuth (bismuthene) for metal ions detection by differential ...
Crown ether-modified electrodes for the simultaneous stripping voltammetric determination of Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II)
This work describes the immobilization of 4-carboxybenzo-18-crown-6 (CB-18-crown-6) and 4-carboxybenzo-15-crown-5 (CB-15-crown-5) assisted by lysine on aryl diazonium salt monolayers anchored to the surface of graphite-epoxy ...
Combining Hyperspectral Imaging and Chemometrics to Assess and Interpret the Effects of Environmental Stressors on the Organism at Tissue Level
Changes on an organism by the exposure to environmental stressors may be characterized by hyperspectral images (HSI), which preserve the morphology of biological samples, and suitable chemometric tools. The approach proposed ...
Antimonene-modified screen-printed carbon nanofibers electrode for enhanced electroanalytical response of metal ions.
A two-dimensional (2D) Sb-modified screen-printed carbon nanofibers electrode (2D Sbexf-SPCNFE) was developed to improve the stripping voltammetric determination of Cd(II) and Pb(II), taking advantage of the synergistic ...
Crystallization and properties of poly(ethylene terephtalate) copolymers containing 5-tert-butyl isophtalic units
The influence of incorporating 5-tert-butyl isophthalic units (tBI) in the polymer chain of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) on the crystallization behavior, crystal structure, and tensile and gas transport properties ...
Understanding the effect of the nature of the nucleobase in the loops on the stability of the i-motif structure
The nature and length of loops connecting cytosine tracts in i-motif structures may affect their stability. In this work, the influence of the nature of the nucleobases located in two of the loops of an intramolecular ...
Carbon based electrodes for the voltammetric determination of capsaicin in spicy samples
A voltammetric sensor based on the modification of a screen-printed carbon electrode with reduced graphene oxide (rGO-SPCE) is presented for the cyclic voltammetric determination of capsaicin in a wide range of concentrations. ...
