The calculations were focused on the protonated forms of the molecules under study, seeing that these classes of inhibitors can easily be protonated in acidic medium. The most preferred protonation centers were determined proton affinity (PA). Fukui indices have been computed to evaluate the nucleophilic and electrophilic sites of atoms in the molecule. The interaction of the inhibitors with the iron surface was studied by calculating the combined energy (E<sub>com</sub>) and the free energy of adsorption ( ΔG°<sub>ads</sub> ). Observable correlation was found between experimental corrosion inhibition efficiency and the theoretical data. The molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations used show that all investigated Benzimidazol inhibitors are positioned parallel to the metal surface reflecting the coverage of a large portion of the steel surface.https://www.abechem.com/article_39948_c9d7967e81679c3390cc5b45f7d21a54.pdfAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry is an international scientific journal, which is published online every 3 months (since 2009), every 2 months (since 2011) and monthly (since 2018) by Center of Excellence in Electrochemistry, University of TehranAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry-12520200531Aqueous Extracts of Santolina Pectinata lag., Aerial Parts as Green Corrosion Inhibitor for Mild Steel in 1.0 M HCl60762439949ENMounir ManssouriMoulay Ismail University of Meknes, Laboratory of Natural Substances & Synthesis and Molecular Dynamics, Faculty of Sciences and Techniques, BP 509, 52000, Errachidia, Moroccohttps://orcid.org/00Mohamed ZniniMoulay Ismail University of Meknes, Laboratory of Natural Substances & Synthesis and Molecular Dynamics, Faculty of Sciences and Techniques, BP 509, 52000, Errachidia, Moroccohttp://orcid.org/000Zouhair LakbaibiMoulay Ismail University of Meknes, Laboratory of Natural Substances & Synthesis and Molecular Dynamics, Faculty of Sciences and Techniques, BP 509, 52000, Errachidia, MoroccoYassir El OuadiLaboratory of Analytical Chemistry, Materials, and Environment (LC2AME), Faculty of Sciences, University of Mohammed Premier, B.P. 717, 60000 Oujda, MoroccoLhou MajidiMoulay Ismail University of Meknes, Laboratory of Natural Substances & Synthesis and Molecular Dynamics, Faculty of Sciences and Techniques, BP 509, 52000, Errachidia, MoroccoJournal Article20200223The protective effect of the aqueous extracts of Santolina pectinata (Lag.) aerial parts (Odorized aqueous extract (AE1) and Deodorized aqueous extract (AE2)) on the corrosion of mild steel (MS) in 1M HCl solution were tested by the weight loss (WL) analysis, potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The inhibition efficiency (%IE) is highly raised with increasing of the dose of inhibitors and increased slightly for AE1 but decreased for AE2 with the rise of the temperature media (308-343K). The charge transfer process mainly controls the results of EIS measurements, PDP measurements showed that the studied inhibitors performs as a mixed-type inhibitor. Furthermore, the adsorption on the steel is made according to the Langmuir model of each inhibitor.https://www.abechem.com/article_39949_c91b2efe2dec8d20b8a78945ce7a8469.pdfAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry is an international scientific journal, which is published online every 3 months (since 2009), every 2 months (since 2011) and monthly (since 2018) by Center of Excellence in Electrochemistry, University of TehranAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry-12520200531Voltammetric Determination of Curcumin in Spices using Platinum Electrode Electrochemically Modified with Poly(Vanillin-co-Caffeic Acid)62564339950ENMuammer BurçChemistry Department, Arts and Sciences Faculty, İnönü University, 44280, Malatya-Turkey0000-0002-9507-7283Öznur GüngörChemistry Department, Arts and Sciences Faculty, İnönü University, 44280, Malatya-Turkey0000-0002-0664-1218Serap TİTRETİR DURANChemistry Department, Arts and Sciences Faculty, İnönü University, 44280, Malatya-Turkey0000-0001-8361-9818Journal Article20200331In this study a simple, highly sensitive, and selective electrochemical method was developed for determination of the low concentration curcumin (CUR) using a poly(vanillin-co-caffeic acid) <em>p</em>(Van-CA) modified platinum electrode. Electrode modification was carried out electrochemically with cyclic voltammetry (CV) method. For this purpose; a solution of 6 mM vanillin (Van) and 6 mM caffeic acid (CA) in phosphate buffer solution (PB) adjusted to pH 7.4 was used. Then, electrochemical behaviour of CUR on the platinum electrode modified with <em>p</em>(Van-CA) was investigated by using CV and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) methods. Tween 20 as surfactant was used to increase the solubility and stability of CUR in this study. CUR responses of the modified electrode showed that it was selective, sensitive and stable. A linear calibration graph was acquired in the high concentration range of 0.1 to 1.0 mM CUR.<br />Correlation coefficient (R<sup>2</sup>) was calculated as 0.9951 from this linear calibration curve. The correlation coefficient for the low concentration range 0.01 to 0.07 mM was also calculated from 0.9950. LOD (limit of detection) and LOQ (limit of quantitation) of the developed method were determined as 0.005 mM and 0.015 mM, respectively. However, the detection of CUR in spices samples was made with this method. The recovery efficiency of the <em>p</em>(Van-CA) modified Pt electrode (<em>p</em>(Van-CA)/PtE) was calculated range of 96% and 102% for three different spices samples. Finally; developed method has been shown that it has fast, low cost, simple, reproducible, high accuracy and precision (99.6%) for sensitive and selective determination of CUR by using <em>p</em>(Van-CA)/PtE as effective novel electrode.https://www.abechem.com/article_39950_82fbcdf7d5780660c29032cad15176da.pdfAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry is an international scientific journal, which is published online every 3 months (since 2009), every 2 months (since 2011) and monthly (since 2018) by Center of Excellence in Electrochemistry, University of TehranAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry-12520200531Development of Carbon Paste Electrode/EDTA/Polymer Sensor for Heavy Metals Detection64465239951ENSakina TOUZARAMolecular Electrochemistry and Inorganic Materials Team, Beni Mellal Faculty of Science and Technology, Sultan Moulay Slimane University, MaroccoAmina AmlilMolecular Electrochemistry and Inorganic Materials Team, Beni Mellal Faculty of Science and Technology, Sultan Moulay Slimane University, MaroccoMadiha EnnacheteMolecular Electrochemistry and Inorganic Materials Team, Beni Mellal Faculty of Science and Technology, Sultan Moulay Slimane University, MaroccoMohamed Amine SmainiMolecular Electrochemistry and Inorganic Materials Team, Beni Mellal Faculty of Science and Technology, Sultan Moulay Slimane University, MaroccoAbdelilah ChtainiMolecular Electrochemistry and Inorganic Materials Team, Beni Mellal Faculty of Science and Technology, Sultan Moulay Slimane University, MaroccoJournal Article20200402The method used to immobilize the polymer on the Disodium ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA) modified carbon paste electrode (CPE/EDTA) has proved its effectiveness for the detection and chelation of heavy metals in aqueous solution. Its complex formation with Pb(II) was examined by square wave voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry. CPE/EDTA electrodes are predisposed to the phenomenon of dissolution due to several factors, such as pH, we thought to cover these electrodes with a selective polymer synthesized (9% of the polysulfone and 91% of the polyacrylonitrile) for remedy this problem. It was found that the CPE/EDTA/polymer electrode shows a better performance than the carbon paste electrode modified by EDTA molecular (CPE/EDTA). The polymer used protects the surface of the electrode while preserving its activity. These modified electrodes developed in this study allow simple, rapid and inexpensive identifi1cation of lead ions with 1.08×10<sup>-9</sup>mol/l of detection limit. The morphological study of polymer surface was examined by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).https://www.abechem.com/article_39951_316c33369bc92f05b3688a8433a56409.pdfAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry is an international scientific journal, which is published online every 3 months (since 2009), every 2 months (since 2011) and monthly (since 2018) by Center of Excellence in Electrochemistry, University of TehranAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry-12520200531Manganese Ferrite Nanocomposite Modified Electrochemical Sensor for the Detection of Guanine and Uric Acid65366239953ENYogendra KumarDepartment of Chemistry, GLA University, Mathura, 281406 IndiaVinod KumarVashisthaDepartment of Chemistry, GLA University, Mathura, 281406 India0000-0002-8987-5297Vivek SharmaDepartment of Chemistry, GLA University, Mathura, 281406 IndiaRahul PatilDepartment of Chemistry, GLA University, Mathura, 281406 IndiaDipak KumarDasDepartment of Chemistry, GLA University, Mathura, 281406 India0000-0002-1718-0218Journal Article20200321Manganese ferrite nanoparticles were produced by applying the combustion technique using the manganese acetate and ferric nitrate as the starting material. Analytical techniques like FESEM and TEM were utilized to characterize the synthesized materials. The typical size was observed in the range of 12 to 14 nm with a cubic structure. The synthesized material was used as an electrochemical sensor which was fabricated using the nanocomposite for the identification of guanine (GU) and uric acid (UA) (individually and in their mixture). The cyclic voltammeter and differential pulse voltammeter techniques were deployed to check the sensor activity of the modified electrode. Lower detection limit for GU and UA was found to be 400 nM and 450 nM, with linearity range 0.5 to 120 μM and 02 to 140 μM for GU and UA respectively. The electrochemical sensor developed in this method can be widely employed for the identification of GU and UA and analogs in biofluids or dosage forms.https://www.abechem.com/article_39953_09baa15407e4514e634e56a56c8ee586.pdfAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry is an international scientific journal, which is published online every 3 months (since 2009), every 2 months (since 2011) and monthly (since 2018) by Center of Excellence in Electrochemistry, University of TehranAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry-12520200531A Novel Choline Biosensor Based on Immobilization of Enzyme Choline Oxidase on the β-Ga2O3 Nanowires Modified Working Electrode66368739954ENVahid GhafouriNano and Biophysics Department, Institution Research of Applied Sciences, Academic Center of Education, Culture and Research (ACECR), Shahid Beheshti University, P.

O. Box 19615-1171 Tehran, IranJournal Article20200427This article is a report on a novel and high-stability biosensor with minor interference effects of surface modification of working electrode with β-Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanowires (NWs) on choline oxidase biosensor were investigated in an electrochemical detection system. β-Ga2O3 NWs were materialized on the silicon substrate in a catalyst-free growth mechanism. The β-Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> NWs were in string form with 10 μm in length and uniformly 30 nm in diameter. Then the enzyme choline oxidase (ChOx) immobilized on the β-Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> NW/CB arrays on the working electrode. The Cyclic voltammetry (CV), Impedance spectroscopy and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurements were performed for bio-sensing detection with choline chloride as substrate. One of the most prominent features of this surface modification with Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> NWs /CB is that the peak intensity, which is often of the order of μA, is greatly increased and reaches about mA. Chronoamperometry amplification well confirms the performance of this surface modification. The current with the CB modified electrode is about three times more than the non-modified electrode, and Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> NWs/CB modified electrode twice more than the CB modified electrode. The maximum current in the DPV data is modelled linearity iap= 0.159 (C)+2.28 and R<sup>2</sup> = 0.982. The limit of detection (LOD) of the electrode for the choline measurement was reached to 8.29 μM. The Sensitivity of the electrode was around 0.0397 mA mM<sup>−1</sup> mm<sup>−2</sup>. The stability of this biosensor has been well studied over a period of 6 months, and more than 80% of the permanency of its response has been confirmed.https://www.abechem.com/article_39954_71fec68ee1eac1e78c76fef269c64310.pdfAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry is an international scientific journal, which is published online every 3 months (since 2009), every 2 months (since 2011) and monthly (since 2018) by Center of Excellence in Electrochemistry, University of TehranAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry-12520200531A Model of Irreversible Electro-Oxidation Inhibited by Either Adsorption or Surface Complexation of the Product68869939956ENMilivoj LovrićDivkovićeva 13, Zagreb 10090, CroatiaJournal Article20200501Theoretical models of irreversible electro-oxidation of dissolved reactant giving dissolved product on the stationary planar electrode are developed for the conditions of staircase cyclic voltammetry. In the first model it is assumed that the product is adsorbed on the electrode surface and that the adsorbate prevents the transfer of electrons. In the second model it is assumed that the electrode surface is reversibly covered by the oxide monolayer and that the product of electro-oxidation forms the inhibiting complex with the oxide. The calculations were performed by the transformation of transport defining differential equations into integral equations and by the numerical solution of the latter. The described mechanisms are investigated in order to analyse the relationship between the second anodic peak in cyclic voltammetry and the type of inhibition. It is shown that anomalous responses appear only if the electro-oxidation is inhibited by the surface complex of its product and the electrode oxide. The condition is that the electrode oxidation is reversible and that the complex disappears when the oxide is reduced.https://www.abechem.com/article_39956_e3243ed5f47a659eeb0682c8ea14315f.pdfAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry is an international scientific journal, which is published online every 3 months (since 2009), every 2 months (since 2011) and monthly (since 2018) by Center of Excellence in Electrochemistry, University of TehranAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry-12520200531Voltammetric Detection of Dopamine and Ascorbic Acid Using a Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes/Schiff Base Complex of Cobalt-Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode70071139960ENHamidreza ZareDepartment of Chemistry, Payame Noor University, PO BOX 19395-3697 Tehran, IranResearch Center of Environmental Chemistry, Payame Noor University, Ardakan, Yazd, IranJournal Article20200504The surface of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) is modified with the composite of new Cobalt complex with a tetradentate Schiff base ligand derived from 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde and 4,5-dimethyl orthophenylenediamine (CoOEtSal) and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT).
