Poly(taurine)/MWNT-modified glassy carbon electrodes for the detection of acetaminophen

Abstract

A novel dye-polymer/CNT, poly(taurine)/MWNT-modified glassy carbon electrode was fabricated. This electrode is based on an electrochemically polymerized taurine layer coated on a MWNT film. The application of this electrode for voltammetric detection of acetaminophen is described. The electroactive surface area of the modified electrode was calculated to be 0.37 cm2. Acetaminophen is oxidized at 0.38 V and then reduced at 0.27 V on the modified electrode. The irreversible oxidation process is due to the conversion of acetaminophen into imidogenquinone; the reduction process is ascribed to the reverse electrode reaction. The adsorption-controlled anodic peak current is proportional to the acetaminophen concentration (from 1.0 M to 0.1 mM) with a detection limit of 0.5 M. The detection of acetaminophen in drugs was conducted

Multi-wall carbon nanotube film-based electrochemical sensor for rapid detection of Ponceau 4R and Allura Red

“…Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), including single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) and multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT), have obtained wide applications in electrochemical detection owing to the distinctive properties (Chen et al, 2009;Gan, Li, & Wu, 2008;Goyal & Singh, 2008;Sims, Li, Kachoosangi, Wildgoose, & Compton, 2009;Sun et al, 2009;Wan, Wang, Yu, Wang, & Yang, 2009;Zheng, Hu, Peng, & Hu, 2009). However, to the best of our knowledge, electrochemical detection of Ponceau 4R and Allura Red using carbon nanotube film has not been reported.…”

Electrochemistry and voltammetric determination of furazolidone with a multi-walled nanotube composite film-glassy carbon electrode

“…They have been known to promote electron transfer reactions when used as an electrode-modifying material. Utilization of these properties has led to the application of carbon nanotubes as scanning probes [4], electron field emission sources [5], sensors [6], nanoelectronic devices [7], and the electrocatalytic behavior toward many biomolecules such as proteins [8], hemoglobin [9], cytochrome c [10], DNA [11], acetaminophen [12,13], and tyrosinase [14].…”

Role of the anionic dopant of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) for the electroanalytical performance: electrooxidation of acetaminophen

“…Different electrode materials based on conducting polymers [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] including PEDOT [16][17][18]20,21], metal and metal oxides [22][23][24][25][26][27], carbon-based materials (e.g. single-and multiwalled carbon nanotubes, graphene etc) [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36], other chemicallymodified electrodes [37,38] have been already tested for electroanalytical determination of acetaminophen. In the last years these investigations started involving complex composites by combining various materials, e.g.…”
