Thiol anchoring and catalysis of gold nanoparticles at the liquid interface of thin-organic film-modified electrodes

Abstract: The deposition of in-situ formed gold nanoparticles at the liquid/liquid (L/L) interface is studied by means of thin-organic-film-modified electrodes (TFE). The degree of ordering and aggregation of gold nanoparticles can be tuned by adding a lipophilic and hydrophilic thiol in the organic and aqueous phase, respectively. The ordered thiol-anchored gold nanoparticles exhibit pronounced catalytic effect toward electron-transfer reactions across the L/L interface.

“…As observed previously, a white precipitate rapidly accumulated at the interface between water and DCE when r ≥ 2. The presence of the precipitate blocks the interface, reducing the ion transfer currents . To avoid this phenomenon, the pellucid DCE phase of each sample was separated from the precipitate and contacted with a fresh aqueous solution for further voltammetry.…”

“…Electro analytical methods are rapid, an accurate and cheap alternative which offer very low detection limits for electroactive molecules. Applications of modified electrodes have great interest in various areas of research and development, such as electroanalysis, biosensors and electroanalysis [11][12][13][14].…”

“…The results obtained were compared statistically with those from reported Spectrofluorimetric method [11] by using Student's t-test and the variance ratio F-test. The results in Table 5 show that the t and F values were smaller than the critical values, indicating that there is no significant difference between the proposed voltammetric method and the published method with respect to accuracy and precision.…”

“…Electroanalytical methods are rapid, accurate and cheap with very low detection limits for electroactive molecules. Applications of modified electrodes have great interest in various areas of research and development, such as electroanalysis, biosensors and electroanalysis [14][15][16][17][18]. Gold nanoparticles have been used in electroanalysis of pharmaceutical compounds studies, due to its large surface area, high conductivity and electroanalytical characteristics.…”
