Electrochemical characterization of simvastatin by abrasive stripping and square-wave voltammetry

Electroanalytical chemistry for the analysis of solids: Characterization and classification (IUPAC Technical Report)

Solid state electroanalytical chemistry (SSEAC) deals with studies of the processes, materials, and methods specifically aimed to obtain analytical information (quantitative elemental composition, phase composition, structure information, and reactivity) on solid materials by means of electrochemical methods. The electrochemical characterization of solids is not only crucial for electrochemical applications of materials (e.g., in batteries, fuel cells, corrosion protection, electrochemical machining, etc.) but it lends itself also for providing analytical information on the structure and chemical and mineralogical composition of solid materials of all kinds such as metals and alloys, various films, conducting polymers, and materials used in nanotechnology. The present report concerns the relationships between molecular electrochemistry (i.e., solution electrochemistry) and solid state electrochemistry as applied to analysis. Special attention is focused on a critical evaluation of the different types of analytical information that are accessible by SSEAC.

Estimation of antioxidative properties of tea leaves by abrasive stripping electrochemistry using paraffin-impregnated graphite electrode

Electrooxidation potentials of powdered green and black teas were determined by abrasive stripping voltammetry. A circular surface of paraffin-impregnated graphite rod was contaminated with tea microparticles and used as a chemically prepared working electrode in square-wave voltammetric experiments. The responses are ascribed to electrooxidation of flavanols in teas. Low oxidation potentials of some green teas were observed. An advantage of the proposed method is that no extraction of electroactive components is necessary.
