Electrochemical Determination of Dopamine and Uric Acid Using Poly(proline) Modified Carbon Paste Electrode: A Cyclic Voltammetric Study

A cyclic voltammetric technique was used for electropolymerisation of proline on the surface of carbon paste electrode and for individual and concurrent determination of dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA). The surface morphology of the developed electrode was studied by using field emission scanning electron microscopy. The modified electrode showed a high current response towards DA as compared to the bare electrode. The developed modified electrode shows good catalytic activity with a different oxidation potential of DA and UA.

Electrosynthesis of Poly(selenophene-co-thiophene) Films in Boron Trifluoride Diethyl Etherate/Ethyl

Electrosynthesis of selenophene-thiophene copolymers was successfully realized at con¬stant electrode potential in a binary solvent system consisting of boron trifluoride-ethyl ether and an additional amount of ethyl ether (mole ratio 1:2). The homo- and copolymer films obtained were studied and characterized with cyclic voltammetry and FTIR spectroscopy. The influence of the applied polymerization potential and the monomer feed ratio of selenophene and thiophene on the copolymer materials was investigated.
