Ferric oxides cobalt modified

Electrocatalysis in oxidation has apparently first been shown for ascorbic acid oxidation by Prussian blue [60] and later by nickel hexacyanoferrate [61]. More valuable for analytical applications was the discovery in the early 1990s of the oxidation of sulfite [62] and thiosulfate [18, 63] at nickel [62, 63] and also ferric, indium, and cobalt [18] hexacyanoferrates. More recently electrocatalytic activity in thiosulfate oxidation was shown also for zinc [23] hexacyanoferrate. Prussian blue-modified electrodes allowed sulfite determination in wine products [64], which is important for the wine industry. 

A particular interest for clinical applications was a possibility for detection of dopamine by its oxidation on nickel [19], cobalt [65], and osmium [66] hexacyanofer-ates. Except for oxidation of dopamine, cobalt and osmium hexacyanoferrates were active in oxidation of epinephrine and norepinephrine. For clinical analysis it is also important to carry out the detection of morphine on cobalt [67] and ferric [68] hexacyanoferrates, as well as the detection of oxidizable amino acids (cystein, methionine) by manganous [69] and ruthenium [70] hexacyanoferrate-modified electrodes. In general, oxidation of thiols was first shown for Prussian blue [71] and nickel hexacyanoferrate [72], This approach has been used for the detection of thiols in rat striatum microdialysate [73], Alternatively, the detection of thiocholine with Prussian blue was employed for pesticide determination in acetylcholine-esterase test [74],...
