With the introduction of modern electronics, inexpensive computers, and new materials there is a resurgence of voltammetric techniques in various branches of science as evident in hundreds of new publications. Now, voltammetry can be performed with a nano-electrode for the detection of single molecular events [1], similar electrodes can be used to monitor the activity of neurotransmitter in a single living cell in subnanoliter volume electrochemical cell [2], measurement of fast electron transfer kinetics, trace metal analysis, etc. Voltammetric sensors are now commonplace in gas sensors (home CO sensor), biomedical sensors (blood glucose meter), and detectors for liquid chromatography. Voltammetric sensors appear to be an ideal candidate for miniaturization and mass production. This is evident in the development of lab-on-chip...

Amperometric-voltammetric Sensors Thick-film screen-printed carbon containing electrodes modified with formazan were used for determination of Pb(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) concentration [400]. 

A l-(pyridylazo)-2-naphthol modified glassy carbon electrode was investigated as a voltammetric sensor for the Cd(II) ions [401], its detection limit was 5 x 10 M Cd(II). 

The electrodes modified by hexacyano-ferrates compounds were also used as voltammetric sensors [409-412]. The cadmium hexacyanoferrate-based composite ion-sensitive electrode for voltammetry was explored by Scholz and coworkers [409]. The potential of such electrode depends linearly on the logarithm of concentration of alkali and alkaline-earth metals ions in the solutions. Bo and fin have studied [410] Prussian blue (PB)/Pt modified electrode in GdGh electrolyte by cyclic voltammetry and in situ Fourier transform IR spectroscopy (FTIR) spectro-electrochemistry. Cadmium hexacyanofer-rates were formed on a PB film. 

The silicon-rubber-based graphite electrode has been employed as an appropriate voltammetric sensor to measure the rates of dissolution of several oxidizable pharmaceutical compounds [169].

Chapters 1 to 5 deal with ionophore-based potentiometric sensors or ion-selective electrodes (ISEs). Chapters 6 to 11 cover voltammetric sensors and biosensors and their various applications. The third section (Chapter 12) is dedicated to gas analysis. Chapters 13 to 17 deal with enzyme based sensors. Chapters 18 to 22 are dedicated to immuno-sensors and genosensors. Chapters 23 to 29 cover thick and thin film based sensors and the final section (Chapters 30 to 38) is focused on novel trends in electrochemical sensor technologies based on electronic tongues, micro and nanotechnologies, nanomaterials, etc. 

Voltammetric sensors Here, detection is based on the redox behaviour of the analyte on the electrode. However, when the analyte is bound to suspended particles or present in complexes that are chemically inert, direct determination is generally not possible. Therefore, voltammetric sensors provide information on the species that are chemically available (labile). Uniquely, these sensors typically involve a necessary preconcentration step in which the analyte is usually reduced and accumulated for a certain time at the electrode. This process is followed by its oxidation and stripping from the electrode. Whole family of methods has emerged based on the different potential-current profiles for the stripping step, all having common name Stripping Analysis (SA).

With respect to the type of sensors that can be used in an electronic tongue, practically all the main families of chemical sensors have been used to form the sensor array, viz. potentiometric, voltammetric, resistive, gravimetric and optical, if main sensor families have to be quoted [11], Table 30.1 sketches a survey of different approaches that can be recorded when the specialized literature is inspected. Even hybrid systems have been proposed, mainly those combining potentiometric and voltammetric sensors [3,12], The combination of electronic noses and electronic tongues to improve detection or identification capabilities, in a sensor fusion approach, has also been proposed [13,14],...

In the third part of the book areas in which there are important applications of electrochemistry are described. Chapters 13 and 14 look at potentiometric and amperometric/voltammetric sensors respectively, focusing particularly on recent developments such as new electrode materials and miniaturization. Electrochemistry in industry, which produces many materials used directly or indirectly in everyday life, as well as batteries, is described in Chapter 15. The electrochemical phenomenon... 

An amperometric sensor measures a current at a fixed applied potential, that is at one point on the current-voltage curve. A voltammetric sensor records a number of points on, or a chosen region of, the current-voltage profile. Thus an amperometric sensor is a fixed-potential voltammetric sensor. 

The most important selectivity parameter of electrodes for voltammetric sensors is the applied potential. Ideally, the electrode potentials of the redox couples would be sufficiently far apart for there to be no interference between different species. Unfortunately this is not the case, and it is necessary to look for greater selectivity. We can discriminate better between the different species present in solution through a correct choice of conditions for the study of the electrode reaction electrode material (Chapter 7) in some cases through surface modification use of hydrodynamic electrodes (Chapter 8) application of potential sweep... 

In this chapter, after describing the useful technique of amperometric titrations, recent developments in amperometric and voltammetric sensors are summarized. Their application as biosensors to the study of biological compounds and in vivo, is described in Chapter 17.
