The modification of glassy carbon electrode was achieved by electrochemical reduction of in situ generated diazonium cations in acetonitrile. The in situ generation of 4-nitrophenyl diazonium cations in acetonitrile was investigated by spectroscopic methods. UV-visible spectroscopy revealed slow kinetics for the reaction of 4-nitroaniline with tert-butylnitrite in acetonitrile to form the corresponding diazonium cation. As a result, a coupling reaction, which implies a consumption of the amine and loss of the already formed diazonium cations, was evidenced by 1H NMR spectroscopy. This spectroscopic study allowed the optimization of the in situ diazonium cations generation prior to the modification step. The electrochemical modification of the carbon electrodes with 4-nitrophenyl, 4-bromophenyl and anthraquinone groups was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and the resulting grafted layer were characterized by electrochemical techniques. The cyclic voltammetric behaviour during the electrochemical grafting was very similar to the one observed for an isolated diazonium salt dissolved in acetonitrile. In the case of the anthraquinone-modified electrode, the use of acetonitrile, into which the corresponding amine is soluble but not in aqueous media, allowed for its grafting by the in situ approach. The barrier properties of these grafted layers are similar to those obtained from isolated diazonium salts. Finally, the chemical composition of the grafted layers was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and surface coverage in the range 5-7 × 10−10 mol cm−2 was estimated for films grown in our experimental conditions. 相似文献

The electrochemical reduction of oxygen has been studied on quinone-modified glassy carbon (GC) electrodes as a function of solution pH using the rotating disk electrode (RDE) technique. The surface of GC was grafted with anthraquinone (AQ) and phenanthrenequinone (PQ) by electrochemical reduction of their diazonium derivatives and the oxygen reduction measurements were carried out at different pHs (pH 7-14). The redox-potentials of surface-bound quinones were determined using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The kinetic parameters of oxygen reduction on GC/AQ and GC/PQ electrodes were determined considering a surface redox catalytic cycle model for quinone-modified electrodes. 相似文献

The pH-dependence of oxygen electroreduction has been investigated on multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) modified glassy carbon (GC) electrodes. Various surfactants were used in the electrode modification: dihexadecyl hydrogen phosphate, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, sodium dodecyl sulfate and Triton X-100. Electrochemical experiments were carried out in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution, acetate buffer (pH 5), phosphate buffers (pH 6, 7 and 8), borate buffer (pH 10), 0.01 M KOH, 0.1 M KOH and in 1 M KOH solution, using the rotating disk electrode (RDE) method. The oxygen reduction behaviour of MWCNT-modified GC electrodes at different pHs was compared. The RDE results revealed that the half-wave potential (E1/2) of oxygen reduction was higher in solutions of high pH. At lower pHs (pH < 10) the value of E1/2 did not essentially depend on the solution pH. A comparison with previous studies on bare GC showed that the pH-dependence of the half-wave potential of oxygen reduction on MWCNT-modified GC electrodes follows a similar trend to that observed for bare GC. 相似文献

The electrochemical modification of the glassy carbon (GC) electrode surface with biphenyl, 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl, 4-bromophenyl, 4-decylphenyl and 4-nitrophenyl groups was performed by the diazonium reduction method. The blocking behaviour of aryl films grafted by three different procedures was compared. Oxygen reduction was studied on these modified GC electrodes using the rotating disk electrode (RDE) method. The highest blocking efficiency for O2 reduction was observed for 4-bromophenyl groups. The barrier properties of aryl-modified GC surfaces were also characterised using Fe(CN)63− and dopamine redox probes. Electrochemical measurements were carried out in 0.1 M K2SO4 containing 1 mM K3Fe(CN)6 and in 0.1 M H2SO4 containing 1 mM dopamine using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The blocking action varied significantly depending on the surface modifier used and the solution based redox species studied. 相似文献

A glassy carbon (GC) electrode surface was modified with a cadmium pentacyanonitrosylferrate (CdPCNF) film as a novel electrode material. The modification procedure of the GC surface includes two consecutive procedures: (i) the electrodeposition of metallic cadmium on the GC electrode surface from a CdCl2 solution and (ii) the chemical transformation of the deposited cadmium to the CdPCNF films in 0.05 M Na2[Fe(CN)5NO] + 0.5 M KNO3 solution. The modified GC electrode showed a well-defined redox couple due to [CdIIFeIII/II(CN)5NO]0/−1 system. The effects of supporting electrolytes and solution pH were studied on the electrochemical behavior of the modified electrode. The diffusion coefficients of alkali-metal cations in the film (D), the transfer coefficient (α) and the charge transfer rate constant at the modifying film | electrode interface (ks), were calculated in the presence of various alkali-metal cations. The stability of the modified electrode was investigated under various experimental conditions. 相似文献

Synthesis of poly(N-methylaniline) (PNMA) on pure iron and Pt electrodes was carried out from aqueous 0.3 M oxalic acid solution containing 0.1 M N-methylaniline (NMA) by potentiodynamic and galvanostatic techniques. It was found that when compared to polyaniline (PAni) and its ring- and N-ethyl-substituted derivatives, PNMA can be electrosynthesized with lower upper scanning potential (upper potential limit, Eupp) of 0.8 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE) on an Fe electrode. PNMA coatings were characterized by electrochemical, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR techniques. Linear anodic potentiodynamic polarization results proved that increasing the acidity of the polymerization solution causes more effective protection against corrosion in 0.5 M H2SO4 medium for PNMA. Moreover, PNMA exhibited similar protective properties with PAni under the same corrosion test conditions. Tafel test results reveal that the PNMA coating appears to enhance protection for iron in 0.5 M NaCl and 0.1 M HCl solutions. According to EIS results, the PNMA coating is able to offer protection to Fe electrodes in NaCl compared to that in HCl medium over a long immersion period. 相似文献

In this study, pyridine, quinoline and phenanthroline molecules were covalently bonded to glassy carbon (GC) electrode surfaces for the first time using the diazonium modification method. Then, the complexation ability of the modified films with ruthenium metal cations was investigated. The derivatization of GC surfaces with heteroaromatic molecules was achieved by electrochemical reduction of the corresponding in situ generated diazonium salts. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to confirm the attachment of heteroaromatic molecules to the GC surfaces and to determine the surface concentration of the films. The barrier properties of the modified GC electrodes were studied in the presence of redox probes such as Fe(CN)63− and Ru(NH3)63+ by cyclic voltammetry. Additionally, the presence of the resulting organometallic films on the surfaces was verified by XPS after the chemical transformation of the characterized ligand films to the ruthenium complex films. The electrochemical behavior of these films in acetonitrile solution was investigated using voltammetric methods, and the surface coverage of the organometallic films was determined from the reversible metal-based Ru(II)/Ru(III) oxidation waves. 相似文献

Electrochemical behavior of peroxyacetic acid (PAA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was examined at various metal and carbon electrodes (i.e., Au, Ag, Cu, Pt, Pd, Rh, Ti, W, Hg, Ni, Fe, glassy carbon (GC), and basal-plane pyrolytic graphite (BPG)) in 0.1 M acetate buffer solution (pH 5.5) using potentiostatic (i.e., cyclic voltammetry and rotating disk electrode voltammetry) and galvanostatic techniques. It was found that the electro-reductions of PAA and H2O2 are highly sensitive to electrode material. Both species were found to be electrochemically and separately reduced at Au, Ag, Cu, Pt, Pd, GC, and BPG electrodes. On the other hand, at Fe, Ni, Hg, Rh, Ti, and W electrodes, voltammetric response for the PAA reduction was not obviously observed. The kinetics of electro-reduction of PAA in 0.1 M acetate buffer solution was studied at Au, Ag, and GC electrodes in details, and the relevant kinetic parameters (i.e., the exchange current density, j0, the standard rate constant, k0, and cathodic transfer coefficient, αc) were estimated from the Tafel plots. The cyclic voltammetric reduction peak potentials obtained for the PAA reduction at Au, Ag, and GC electrodes were compared with those calculated using the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters obtained under the same experimental conditions. The measured and calculated reduction peak potentials at each electrode were found to be in agreement with each other, indicating that the evaluated values of kinetic parameters for the reduction of PAA at Au, Ag, and GC electrodes are reasonable. 相似文献

Electrochemical modification of glassy carbon (GC) electrode by poly-4-nitroaniline (P4NA), electrochemical reduction of P4NA and applicability of electrode modified in this way for determination of copper(II) (Cu(II)) is reported in this study. Electrochemical surface modification was performed by cyclic voltammetry in the potential range between +0.9 V and +1.4 V vs. Ag/Ag+ (in 10 mM AgNO3) at the scan rate of 100 mV/s by 100 cycles in non-aqueous media. In order to provide electrochemical reduction of nitro groups on the P4NA-modified GC electrode surface (P4NA/GC), the cyclic voltammograms inducing/evidencing the reduction of nitro groups were performed in the potential range between −0.1 V and −0.8 V vs. Ag/AgCl/(sat.KCl) at the scan rate of 100 mV/s. The reduced P4NA/GC surfaces (Reduced-P4NA/GC) were treated with aqueous solution of nitrilotriacetic acid. The sensitivity of GC electrode modified in described way towards Cu(II) was investigated in Britton-Robinson buffer solution, pH 5.0. The potentiometric generic pulse technique was applied as innovative electrochemical method for detection of analytical signal. It was shown that GC electrodes modified in here described way will be suitable for the determination of Cu(II) in technological waste water and/or some other solutions containing Cu(II) ions. 相似文献

Unstable acetonitrile | aqueous emulsions generated in situ with ultra-turrax agitation are investigated for applications in dual-phase electrochemistry. Three modes of operation for liquid | liquid aqueous-organic electrochemical processes are demonstrated with no intentionally added electrolyte in the organic phase based on (i) the formation of a water-soluble product in the aqueous phase in the presence of the organic phase, (ii) the formation of a product and ion transfer at the liquid | liquid-electrode triple phase boundary, and (iii) the formation of a water-insoluble product in the aqueous phase which then transfers into the organic phase.A three-electrode electrolysis cell with ultra-turrax agitator is employed and characterised for acetonitrile | aqueous 2 M NaCl two phase electrolyte. Three redox systems are employed in order to quantify the electrolysis cell performance. The one-electron reduction of Ru(NH3)63+ in the aqueous phase is employed to determine the rate of mass transport towards the electrode surface and the effect of the presence of the acetonitrile phase. The one-electron oxidation of n-butylferrocene in acetonitrile is employed to study triple phase boundary processes. Finally, the one-electron reduction of cobalticenium cations in the aqueous phase is employed to demonstrate the product transfer from the electrode surface into the organic phase. Potential applications in biphasic electrosynthesis are discussed. 相似文献

The electrocatalytic reduction of dioxygen by one mono and four dihydroxy derivatives of 9,10-anthraquinone (AQ) incorporated in polypyrrole (PPy) matrix on glassy carbon electrode has been investigated. The electrochemical behaviour of the modified electrodes was examined in various pH media and both the formal potential of anthraquinones and reduction potential of dioxygen exhibited pH dependence. AQ and PPy composite film showed excellent electrocatalytic performance for the reduction of O2 to H2O2. pH 6.0 was chosen as the most suitable medium to study the electrocatalysis by comparing the peak potential of oxygen reduction and enhancement in peak current for oxygen reduction. The diffusion coefficient values of AQ at the modified electrodes and the number of electrons involved in AQ reduction were evaluated by chronoamperometric and chronocoulometric techniques, respectively. In addition, hydrodynamic voltammetric studies showed the involvement of two electrons in O2 reduction. The mass specific activity of AQ used, the diffusion coefficient of oxygen and the heterogeneous rate constants for the oxygen reduction at the surface of modified electrodes were also determined by rotating disk voltammetry. 相似文献

The reciprocal influence of the phenylsubstituents and diazonium groups allows to monitor the diazonium reactivity and to electrochemically detect the grafting reaction. Extended understanding concerning the grafting of para substituted tetrafluoroborate aryl diazonium salts p-(R-Ph-N2+, BF4−) was obtained by studying comparatively four compounds (R = NO2, NEt2, NHPh, NPh2) by electrochemistry. For R = NEt2, the grafted molecules showed no reversible electroactivity whereas for the aminophenyl substituents, the first oxidation process induced chemical modification of the deposited layers before being totally reversible. The compound with electron withdrawing group (NO2) was the only one able to create spontaneous covalent bounding with the glassy carbon electrode (GCE). We observed that the substituent directly acts upon the diazonium reactivity. This effect can be directly monitored through the potential onset value of the diazonium reduction. In addition, the elimination of the diazonium group during electrografting induces a cathodic shift of the electroactivity of the aminodiphenyl and aminotriphenyl groups covalently attached onto the carbon electrode surface. The shift between these electrochemical values may be considered as a signature of the grafting reaction. 相似文献

The electrochemical reduction of oxygen on thin Pd films with a nominal thickness of 0.25-10 nm on polycrystalline Au substrate (Pd/Au) was studied. The Pd films were prepared by electron beam evaporation and oxygen reduction was studied in 0.1 M HClO4 and 0.05 M H2SO4 solutions using the rotating disk electrode (RDE) method. The surface morphology of Pd overlayers was examined by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). O2 reduction predominantly proceeds through 4e− pathway on all Pd/Au electrodes. The specific activity (SA) of oxygen reduction was lower in H2SO4 solution and decreased slightly with decreasing the Pd film thickness. In HClO4, the SA was higher and not significantly dependent on the film thickness. The Tafel slope values close to −60 mV at low current densities and −120 mV at high current densities were found for all electrodes. 相似文献

This study uses rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) to characterize oxygen reduction kinetics in alkaline solution on platinum electrodes with various thickness of hydrous oxide (oxyhydroxy) film. Oxyhydroxy films are created on Pt electrodes by pretreatment in 1.0 mol dm−3 KOH at a constant voltage. The pretreatment voltage ranges from −1.2 to 1.0 V and is increased stepwise before each new experimental run to produce seven discreet films. LSV plots show oxyhydroxy film thickness strongly inhibits oxygen reduction and is inversely proportional to RRDE oxygen reduction current ID for LSV voltages ED from −0.1 to −0.46 V, but this trend reverses at ED more negative than −0.46 V so that the worst-performing electrode becomes the best. However, this improvement disappears at around −0.8 V, suggesting this change involves a negatively charged ion, possibly embedded into the metal in the top few atomic layers either interstitially or substitutionally. The 1.0 V-pretreated electrode in the ED range from −0.46 to −0.9 V of highest oxygen reduction current also exhibits the lowest hydrogen peroxide production, with zero H2O2 produced at −0.6 V, indicating the brief presence of the oxyhydroxy film on the Pt surface has strong lingering effects. The post-oxyhydroxy Pt surface is very different than the native Pt for oxygen reduction pathway and efficiency. Reaction order with respect to oxygen is close to 1. The rate constants of the direct O2 to H2O electroreduction reaction are increased with decreasing the potential from −0.2 to −0.6 V, but the O2 to H2O2 electroreduction is contrary to this expectation. The rate constants of H2O2 decomposition on the oxyhydroxy film-covered Pt electrode are near constant around 1 × 10−4 cm s−1 at ED > −0.5 V. 相似文献

Nanodiamond (ND) powder electrodes were fabricated and the electrochemical properties were investigated in the solution containing nitrite in this article. This electrode exhibits substantial catalytic ability toward the oxidation of nitrite anions. The electrochemical oxidation mechanism of nitrite on the ND powder electrode is discussed. The oxidation of NaNO2 is a two-electron transfer process. The electrode reaction rate constant k is estimated to be 2.013 × 10−4 cm/s and (1 − α)nα is 0.1643. The peak current increases linearly with the rising of the concentration of NaNO2. 相似文献

The variation of electrode nature and surface structure (the use of stepped single crystal faces with controlled width of (1 1 1) terraces and monoatomic steps of (1 0 0) or (1 1 0) orientation) allows to determine peculiarities of co-adsorption of acetonitrile molecules, hydrogen adatoms and (bi)sulfate anions. It has been shown that first of all acetonitrile blocks adsorption sites at the steps. Anion adsorption at terraces of stepped platinum surfaces in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution with additions of acetonitrile depends on terrace width and the step orientation. This demonstrates the important role of structural factors in competitive adsorption processes. The decrease in adsorption of hydrogen and anions on narrow terraces is substantially due to the influence of acetonitrile molecules placed at the steps or nearby sites. At E < 1.0 V, electrochemical conversion of acetonitrile has not been detected at single crystal Pt surfaces. However, acetonitrile oxidation might proceed on polycrystalline platinum followed by product desorption. On Au(1 1 1) surface acetonitrile adsorption is considerably weaker than that on platinum electrodes. 相似文献

The electrocatalytic reduction of nitrite has been studied by ferricyanide at the surface of carbon paste electrode. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry techniques were used to investigate the suitability of ferricyanide as a mediator for the electrocatalytic nitrite reduction in aqueous solution with various pH. Results showed that pH 0.00 is the most suitable for this purpose. In the optimum pH, the electrocatalytic ability about 700 mV can be seen and the homogeneous second-order rate constant (ks) for nitrite coupled catalytically to ferricyanide was calculated 2.75 × 103 M−1 s−1 by Nicholson-Shain method. Also, electron transfer coefficients (α) for ferricyanide was determined by using various electrochemical approaches such as Tafel plot in the absence and presence of nitrite 0.556 and 0.760, respectively. The catalytic reduction peak current was linearly dependent on the nitrite concentration and the linearity range obtained was 5.00 × 10−5 to 1.00 × 10−3 M. Detection limit has been found to be 2.63 × 10−5 M (2σ). This method has been applied as a selective, simple and precise method for determination of nitrite in real sample. 相似文献

We report on direct electron transfer (DET) reactions of bilirubin oxidase at multi-walled carbon nanotube-(MWCNT) modified gold electrodes. MWCNTs are very suitable for protein immobilisation and provide surface groups that can be used for the stable fixation on electrodes. They can also effectively replace the natural substrate of BOD - bilirubin, the electron donor for oxygen reduction. The bioelectrocatalytic oxygen reduction was recorded using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) with BOD covalently linked to the nanotubes. The start potential of the bioelectrocatalytic oxygen reduction at pH 7 and a scan rate of 10 mV/s was determined to be 485 ± 10 mV vs. Ag/AgCl, 1 M KCl (720 mV vs. SHE). Current densities up to 500 μA/cm2 were detected in an air-saturated buffer at room temperature (25 ± 5 °C). Experiments with a rotating disk electrode (RDE) indicate a diffusion controlled electrode reaction. A ks value in the range of 80-100 s−1 could be estimated.The DET could also be observed directly by the redox conversion of a copper centre of BOD under anaerobic conditions. A peak pair with a formal potential of 680 ± 10 mV vs. SHE was found. The T1 site is probably addressed by the electrode as indicated by several experimental studies. 相似文献

Nanostructured Pt electrodes were prepared by electrodeposition of Pt nanoparticles on different substrates (GC, Pt and Au) under cyclic voltammetric conditions and with various number (n) of potential cycling, and were denoted as nm-Pt/S(n) (S = GC, Pt and Au). Adsorption of (bi)sulfate on the nm-Pt/S(n) was studied by in situ FTIR reflection spectroscopy. It has been revealed that the nanostructured Pt electrodes exhibit anomalous IR properties for (bi)sulfate adsorption regardless of the different reflectivity of substrate, i.e. the IR absorption of (bi)sulfate species adsorbed on all the nm-Pt/S(n) electrodes is significantly enhanced and the IR band direction is completely inverted in comparison with the same species adsorbed on a bulk Pt electrode. The two IR bands around 1200 and 1110 cm−1 attributed to adsorbed (bi)sulfate species are shifted linearly with increasing electrode potential, yielding Stark tuning rates () of 152.1 and 21.1 cm−1 V−1 on nm-Pt/GC(20), respectively. Along with increasing n, the Stark tuning rate of the IR band around 1200 cm−1 decreases quickly and declined to 7.6 cm−1 V−1 on nm-Pt/GC(80), while the Stark tuning rate of the IR band near 1100 cm−1 is fluctuated between 23.0 and 16.2 cm−1 V−1. It has determined that the enhancement of IR absorption of (bi)sulfate adsorbed on nanostructured Pt electrode is varied with substrate material and n, and a maximal 16-fold enhancement of the IR band near 1200 cm−1 has been measured on the nm-Pt/GC(30) electrode. The in situ FTIR studies illustrated that the adsorption of (bi)sulfate occurs mainly in the double layer potential region, and reaches a maximum around 0.80 V. The results demonstrated also that the competitive adsorption of CO and oxygen species can inhibit completely (bi)sulfate adsorption, which has evidenced a weak interaction of (bi)sulfate with nm-Pt/S(n) electrode surface. 相似文献
