“…In this context, it is well known that, an effective way to solve this problem and to enhance the electrocatalytic activity of an electrode is to appropriately modify its conventional surface, and thus, to shift the overpotential of the redox reaction. Consequently, some new electrocatalytic systems for nitrite determination were developed using electrodes modified with both inorganic and organic compounds as: copper-thallium composite film (Casella & Gatta, 2004), CuNi alloy (Mattarozzi et al, 2013), polyoxometalates (i.e., a 2 -K 7 P 2 VW 17 O 62 Á18H 2 O) (Zhang, Ma, Chen, Pang, & Yu, 2013), ferricyanide-poly(diallyldimethylammonium)-alginate composite film (Qin et al, 2013), graphene oxide (Mani, Periasamy, & Chen, 2012), graphene oxide-multiwalled carbon nanotubes-Pt nanoparticles/myoglobin (Mani, Dinesh, Chen, & Saraswathi, 2014), graphene oxide/Pd nanoparticles (Zhang, Zhao et al, 2013), graphene--Au nanoparticles (Jiang, Fan, & Du, 2014), graphene/phtalocyanine (Cui, Pu, Liu, & He, 2013), chitosan (CS) -Prussian Blue (PB) and graphene nanosheets -carbon nanospheres mixture (Cui et al, 2012), zeolites (Guzmán-Vargas, Oliver-Tolentino, Lima, & Flores-Moreno, 2013), polydiphenylamine -Pt nanoparticles (Unnikrishnan, Ru, Chen, & Mani, 2013), nanocomposite 3,6-bis(2-[2-sulfanyl-ethylimino-methyl]-4-(4-nitro-phenylazo)-phenol)pyridazine coated SiO 2 -Fe 3 O 4 (L-SCMNPs) in carbon paste electrode (Afkhami et al, 2012), ionic-liquid carbon paste electrode (Ojani, Raoof, & Zamani, 2013), electronic tongue (Nuñez, Cetó, Pividori, Zanoni, & del Valle, 2013), tetraruthenated metalloporphyrins , tetrapyridylporphyrins coordinated to four [Ru(5-NO 2 -phen) 2 Cl] + moieties (Dreyse et al, 2011), organoruthenium(II) complexes onto polyethyleneimine-wrapped carbon nanotubes/in situ formed gold nanoparticles (Azadbakht, Abbasi, Derikvand, & Amraei, 2015), hemoglobin (Saadati, Salimi, Hallaj, & Rostami, 2014), hemin (Turdean, Popescu, Curulli, & Palleschi, 2006) and/or myoglobin (Canbay, S ßahin, Kıran, & Akyilmaz, 2015). Despite the huge number of modified electrodes realized in recent years, a simple solution is always more suitable.…”
