Part 1: In the first work, the electrochemical behavior of Ceftriaxone was thoroughly investigated at the surface of a glassy carbon electrode modified with nano-diamond graphite (NDG). The surface morphology and electrochemical properties of thin film modifier are characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. The prepared electrode showed a considerable improvement in the peak current of Ceftriaxone compared to either glassy carbon electrode or nanodiamond (NDs) modified glassy carbon electrode. Under the optimum conditions, the modified electrode showed a wide linear dynamic range of 0.04-10 μM with the detection limit of 10 nM for voltammetric... 

At the first part of this thesis, a pyrolitic graphite electrode (PGE) modified with graphite/nanodiamond film (GND) was applied as a sensitive electrochemical sensor for determination and study of electrochemical behavior of tryptophan (Trp) and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) in aqueous solutions. The results showed that GND caused a remarkable increase in the peak currents so the GND/PGE electrode surface was more sensitive to the concentration of Trp and 5-HTP than the PGE surface. The determination of Trp and 5-HTP were investigated by stripping voltammetry. Experimental parameters such as scan rate, pH, accumulation conditions and amount of the modifier used on the PGE surface were... 

In the first part, the electropolymerization of pyrrole was performed in the presence of Titan Yellow (TY) as a dopant anion on the surface of the electrode precoated with CNTs. The modified electrode was used to study the voltammetric response of tizanidine (TIZ). A remarkable increase was observed in the anodic peak current of TIZ on the surface of the modified electrode relative to the bare GCE. The surface morphology PPY/CNT/GCE was thoroughly characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. Under the optimized analysis conditions, the modified electrode showed two linear dynamic ranges of 0.01 - 1 μM and 1-10 μM with a detection limit of 3 nM... 

In the first work, the method of direct growth was used to grew MOFs based on cobalt, as electroactive centers, for preparing electrochemical sensors for the determination of glucose. In comparison to most of the electrochemical sensing platforms based on MOFs for determining glucose, which suffer from some disadvantages like time-consuming synthesis procedures and using hazardous organic solvents, the proposed in situ growth method is much faster and no need to toxic organic solvents. Herein, cobalt-based MOFs were grown on the surface of the reduced graphene oxide modified glassy carbon electrode by the direct and rapid conversion of cobalt hydroxide nanosheets intermediates. The... 

In the present study, the method of direct growth was used to grew bi-metalic MOFs based on cobalt and zinc, as electroactive centers, for preparing electrochemical sensors for the determination of glucose. In comparison to most of the electrochemical sensing platforms based on MOFs for determining glucose, which suffer from some disadvantages like time-consuming synthesis procedures and using hazardous organic solvents, the proposed in-situ growth method is much faster and without any need to toxic organic solvents. Herein, cobalt and zinc-based MOFs were grown on the surface of glassy carbon electrode by the direct and rapid conversion of layered double hydroxide nanosheets intermediates....
