Electrocatalytic oxidation of sulfhydryl compounds was effective on a copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) film glassy carbon electrode, at a significantly reduced overpotential (0.55 to 0.65 V) and for a broader pH range (2.0 to 7.0). The electrocatalysis was evaluated in terms of several preliminary experimental parameters, such as buffer pH, surface adsorbent concentration, operating potential, mobile-phase flow rate, and concentration dependence in batch and flow systems. Electrochemical liquid chromatography (LCEC) of sulfhydryl compounds gave a linearity over mo orders of magnitude and detection limits at picomole level. Overlaying the CuHCF film electrode surface with a Nafion layer is essential for improving the catalysis stability and offers enhancement of the liquid chromatography electro chemistry (LCEC) response.
A vitamin B-12 chemically modfied electrode (CME) was constructed by adsorption of vitamin B-12 onto a glassy carbon surface. The electrode catalyzes the electrooxidation of hydrazine compounds over a wide pH range. The electrocatalytic behavior of hydrazines is elucidated with respect to the CME preparation conditions, solution pH, operating potential, mobile phase flow rate, and other variables. When applied to liquid chromatographic detection of the analytes, the vitamin B-12 CME yielded a linear response range over 2 orders of magnitude, and detection limits at the picomole level, The vitamin B-12 CME offers acceptable catalytic stability in both batch and flow systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
