Electrochemical deposition of Graphene Oxide- metal nano-composite on Pencil-Graphite Electrode for the high sensitivity detection of Bisphenol A by Adsorptive Stripping Differential Pulse VoltammetryGhaffari, Nastaran January 2018 (has links)
Magister Scientiae - MSc (Chemistry) / Electrochemical platforms were developed based on pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs) modified
electrochemically with reduced graphene oxide metal nanoparticles (ERGO-metalNPs) composite
and used for the high-sensitivity determination of Bisphenol A (BPA) in water samples.
Synergistic effects of both reduced Graphene Oxide sheets and metal nanoparticles on the
performance of the pencil graphite electrode (PGE) were demonstrated in the oxidation of BPA by
differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). A solution of graphene oxide (GO) 1 mg mL-1 and 15 ppm
of metal stock solutions (1,000 mg L-1, atomic absorption standard solution) (Antimony or Gold)
was prepared and after sonication deposited onto pencil graphite electrodes by cyclic voltammetry
reduction. Different characterization techniques such as FT-IR, HR-SEM, XRD and Raman
spectroscopy were used to characterize the GO and ERGO-metalNPs. Parameters that influence
the electroanalytical response of the ERGO-SbNPs and ERGO-AuNPs such as, pH, deposition
time, deposition potential, purging time were investigated and optimized. Well-defined,
reproducible peaks with detection limits of 0.0125 ?M and 0.062 ?M were obtained for BPA using
ERGO-SbNPs and ERGO-AuNPs respectively. The rGO-metalNPs-PGE was used for the
quantification of BPA in tap water sample and proved to be suitable for the detection of BPA
below USEPA prescribed drinking water standards of 0.087 ?M. / 2021-12-31

Determination of paracetamol at the electrochemically reduced graphene oxide-metal nanocomposite modified pencil graphite (ERGO-MC-PGE) electrode using adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetryLeve, Zandile Dennis January 2020 (has links)
>Magister Scientiae - MSc / This project focuses on the development of simple, highly sensitive, accurate, and low cost electrochemical sensors based on the modification of pencil graphite electrodes by the electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide-metal salts as nanocomposites (ERGO-MC-PGE; MC = Sb or Au nanocomposite). The electrochemical sensors ERGO-Sb-PGE and ERGO-Au-PGE were used in the determination of paracetamol (PC) in pharmaceutical formulations using adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry. The GO was prepared from graphite via a modified Hummers’ method and characterized by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy to confirm the presence of oxygen functional groups in the conjugated carbon-based structure whilst, changes in crystalline structure was observed after XRD analysis of graphite and GO. / 2023-10-07

Determination of heavy metals at the electrochemically reduced graphene oxide mercury film electrode (ERGO-HgF-PGE) using adsorptive stripping voltammetrySanga, Nelia Abraham January 2020 (has links)
>Magister Scientiae - MSc / This work reports the use of a pencil graphite electrode (PGE) as inexpensive and sensitive
electrochemical sensing platform fabricated by using electrochemically reduced graphene oxide
(ERGO) in conjunction with an in-situ plated thin mercury film. For the first time the ERGOHgF-PGE sensor is proposed for simultaneous detection of cadmium (Cd2+), copper (Cu2+), lead
(Pb2+) and zinc (Zn2+) using N-Nitroso-N-phenylhydroxylamine (cupferron) as complexing agent
by square-wave adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (SW-AdCSV). The technique is
based on the adsorption of cupferron- metal ion complexes onto the surface of the ERGO-HgFPGE at 0.1 V for 60 s carried out in 0.1 M acetate buffer solution (pH 4.6). The synthesized
graphene oxide (GO) and graphene nanosheets (GNs) were characterized using different
analytical techniques such as FT-IR which confirms the presence of oxygen moieties embedded
in the graphitic structure and further demonstrated by UV-Vis, validating the synthesis of GO / 2023

A Low Cost, Compact Electrochemical Analyzer based on an Open-Source MicrocontrollerAddo, Michael Kofi Darko 01 August 2023 (has links) (PDF)
Compared to other instruments for chemical analyses, electrochemical analyzers are relatively simple, inexpensive, easy to miniaturize and require little-to-no maintenance. However, like all commercially available instruments, commercial electrochemical analyzers like potentiostats primarily operate as black boxes with manufacturers providing little or no information about internal circuitry and programming. This practice can limit a researcher’s ability to develop new techniques or adapt an instrument for applications outside its typical use. In contrast, creators of open-source instruments release all the necessary information for reproduction of the hardware and software – minimizing such barriers to innovation in chemical analyses. Here, we report a low-cost, compact potentiostat based on an open-source Arduino microcontroller capable of performing electrochemical analyses such as cyclic and linear sweep voltammetry with an operating range of ± 208 𝜇A and ± 2.5 V. Performance of the potentiostat is investigated with low-cost pencil graphite electrodes and compared to a commercial potentiostat.

A Low-Cost, Compact Electrochemical Analyzer Based on an Open-Source MicrocontrollerAddo, Michael 25 April 2023 (has links)
Electrochemical measurements are utilized in various fields, including healthcare (e.g., potentiometric measurements for electrolytes in blood and blood gas, amperometric biosensing of glucose as in blood glucose meters), water quality (e.g., pH measurement, voltammetric analyses for heavy metals), and energy. Much of the appeal of electrochemical analyses can be attributed to the relative simplicity, low cost and lack of maintenance associated with electrochemical instruments, along with techniques that can exhibit high sensitivity and selectivity, wide linear dynamic range, and low limits of detection for many analytes. While commercial electrochemical analyzers are less expensive than many other instruments for chemical analyses and are available from various manufacturers, versatility and performance often coincide with added expense. Recently, the development of low-cost, adaptable, open-source chemical instruments, including electrochemical analyzers, has emerged as a topic of great interest in the scientific community. In contrast to commercial instruments, for which schematics and underlying operation details are often obscured – severely limiting modifications and improvements, creators of open-source instruments release all the necessary information for reproduction of the hardware and software. As a result, open-source instruments not only serve as excellent teaching tools for novices to gain experience in electronics and programming, but also present opportunity to design and develop low-cost, portable instruments, which have particular significance for point-of-care sensing applications, use in resource-limited settings, and the rapidly developing field of on-body sensors. In this work, we report the design of a low-cost, compact electrochemical analyzer based on an open-source Arduino microcontroller. The instrument is capable of performing electrochemical analyses such as cyclic and linear sweep voltammetry with an operating range of ± 138 ��A and ± 1.65 V. Performance of the platform is investigated with low-cost pencil graphite electrodes and results compared to commercial potentiostats.
