Anodic Stripping Voltammetry of Tl(I) Determination with the Use of a Solid Bismuth Microelectrode

Abstract

For the first time a solid bismuth microelectrode was utilized for anodic stripping voltammetry in the course of Tl(I) ions determination. The proposed solid bismuth microelectrode (ϕ 25 μm) is more environmentally friendly sensor in comparison to bismuth film electrodes as bismuth ions are not added to the supporting electrolyte for bismuth film formation. Furthermore, an amount of metallic bismuth needed for fabrication of proposed sensor is significantly minimized as compared to solid bismuth electrode with a large surface area. Furthermore, the measurements may be carried out from unstirred solutions that gives possibility of performing fields analysis. The optimization of the analytical parameters of Tl(I) determination procedure was presented. A calibration graph for Tl(I) determination was linear in the range from 2 × 10−9 to 2 × 10−7 mol l−1 (deposition time of 120 s). The detection limit for thallium ions determination was 8.3 × 10−10 mol l−1 for deposition time of 120 s. Repeatability of the proposed procedure calculated as RSD% for Tl(I) at concentration of 2 × 10−8 mol l−1 was 5.2% (n = 5). The accuracy of the proposed procedure was successfully checked by analysis of a lake water certified reference material TM 25.5.

Sensitive adsorptive stripping voltammetric procedure of Imatinib determination in spiked urine samples using solid lead microelectrode

“…As it was previously observed [29, 30] the main stage on which the signal shape and repeatability depends is activation step understood as a short potential pulse at a high negative potential value. The results of measurements conducted without activation step are poorly shaped Imatinib analytical signals that confirms the importance and meaningfulness of an activation step in the standard measurements procedure.…”

Double deposition/accumulation and double stripping steps system as a new way of decreasing the detection limit and elimination of interferences in stripping voltammetry of inorganic ions: A review

“…The appropriate selection of a supporting electrolyte is a crucial issue to avoid peaks' overlapping [27]. Furthermore the influence of the presence of divalent and trivalent ions on the analytical signal of monovalent ions can be overcome by the use of complexing properties of Na 2 EDTA [28], surface active properties of Triton X-100 [29] or a masking effect in the presence of potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) [30]. Intermetallic compounds formation may be eliminated by the addition of so called the third element [31], a proper choice of a working electrode [32,33] or a selection of deposition/accumulation potential [34].…”

The Use of a Solid Bismuth Microelectrode for Vanadium Quantification by Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetry in Environmental Water Samples

“…A solid bismuth microelectrode is a miniaturized sensor that was introduced to the stripping analysis of both metal ions and organic compounds by Geca et al in 2020 [ 1 , 2 ]. In this novel electrode, melted metallic bismuth is placed within a glass capillary whose thickness and diameter are 5 mm and 25 µm, respectively.…”

“…It should also be emphasized that the use of a microelectrode as a working electrode gives the possibility of miniaturization of the measuring system, as well as making it possible to carry out the analysis at the location of the sampling. Besides, since the capacitive current in the microelectrodes is limited to a minimum, the use of miniaturized sensors allows obtaining a more favorable signal-to-noise ratio compared to the use of classic macroelectrodes [ 1 , 2 , 3 ].…”
