Electrochemical characterisation and sensing of diclofenac anion and dibucaine cation by ion transfer across water and dichlorohexane interface

Ion sensing is a significant challenge in both clinical diagnosis and environmental monitoring. Ion transfer reactions at liquid | liquid interfaces allow detection of substances that are not easy to oxidise/reduce or that undergo significant interference in these reactions. In addition, it offer...
