Ion-transfer- and photo-electrochemistry at liquid|liquid|solid electrode triple phase boundary junctions: perspectives

Ion transfer at liquid|liquid junctions is one of the most fundamental processes in nature. It occurs coupled to simultaneous electron transfer at the line junction (or triple phase boundary) formed by the two liquids in contact to an electrode surface. The triple phase boundary can be assembled from a redox active microdroplet deposit of a water-immiscible liquid on a suitable electrode surface immersed into aqueous electrolyte. Ion transfer voltammetry measurements at this type of electrode allow both thermodynamic and kinetic parameters for coupled ion and electron transfer processes to be obtained. This overview summarises some recent advances in understanding and application of triple phase boundary redox processes at organic liquid|aqueous electrolyte|working electrode junctions. The design of novel types of electrodes is considered based on (i) extended triple phase boundaries, (ii) porous membrane processes, (iii) hydrodynamic effects, and (iv) generator-collector triple phase boundary systems. Novel facilitated ion transfer processes and photo-electrochemical processes at triple phase boundary electrodes are proposed. Potential future applications of triple phase boundary redox systems in electrosynthesis, sensing, and light energy harvesting are indicated.     

Electrodeposition of poly(N-vinylcarbazole) at the three-phase junction. Formation of very different polymer structures

Poly(N-vinylcarbazole) films can be deposited at the three-phase boundary when the organic phase contains only monomer, N-vinylcarbazole, while the aqueous phase contains supporting electrolyte. A cylindrical platinum microelectrode is immersed into the two-liquid system in such a way that a part of it is located in one liquid and the other part resides in the second liquid. The thickness of the reaction layer, or the width of the microelectrode zone where the polymer grows, depends on the kind of ions present in the aqueous phase and the time of the experiment. The structure of the deposited polymer may be very different and depends on the distance from the three-phase boundary and the type of the anion present in the aqueous phase. The key parameters here are the local electrode potential and the local concentration of the anions. The list of obtained polymer structures includes, among others, arrays of perfectly arranged deep oval channels and groups of microcrystals. The porosity of the polymer deposits increases with the distance from the aqueous phase.     

Control of the electrode temperature for electrochemical studies: A new approach illustrated on porous anodizing of aluminium

A new approach for studying the effect of temperature on electrochemical processes is presented in this paper. Using an in-house developed electrode holder, experiments are performed under conditions of applied and controlled electrode temperature. This new approach provides an improved temperature control during the experimental study and, additionally, allows distinguishing both the influences of the electrolyte and electrode temperatures. The advantages of the applied electrode temperature approach are illustrated by considering porous anodizing of aluminium. In a broad temperature range the electrochemical behaviour of the aluminium electrodes, recorded during the new and the conventional way of anodizing, are compared. Differences between the anodic potential evolutions in both approaches are observed, and are explained by a heat flux to the surroundings during the experiments at uncontrolled electrode temperature. These results illustrate the advantage of applying the electrode temperature. If the influence of temperature on a process is investigated by merely varying the electrolyte temperature, the electrode temperature is only indirectly influenced and can significantly differ from the electrolyte temperature. Therefore, when evaluating the influence of temperature on an electrochemical system the electrode temperature should be considered, and preferentially also controlled.     

Gas-Generating Porous Electrodes: Calculating Characteristics in the Low-Polarizability Portion

It is shown in the paper how specific features of the structure of the porous space in gas-generating porous electrodes (GGPE) create conditions for the emergence of a low-polarizability portion (LPP) in a polarization curve (PC). A set of equations is derived, which allows one to perform calculation of PC in the initial part of LPP. In the region of small overvoltages and in the initial part of a low-polarizability portion, calculations of basic characteristics of GGPE are performed. The calculations are carried out with the values of constants that are close to those that take place for the process of chlorine generation in dimensionally stable anodes. The shape of PC is established, together with the distribution of the oversaturation of electrolyte solution with gas over the GGPE thickness, the specific liquid surface area at which the electrochemical process of gas generation occurs, the amount of gas in the pores of the porous electrode, the overvoltage dependence of the oversaturation of electrolyte solution with gas at the front surface of GGPE, and the magnitude of the effective penetration depth of the process of gas formation into the porous electrode.     

Electropolymerization of 3-methylthiophene at liquid 3-methylthiophene | aqueous solution | graphite three-phase junction

Droplets of 3-methylthiophene are mechanically attached to the surface of paraffin-impregnated graphite electrode (PIGE) and immersed into aqueous solution of LiClO₄. It is demonstrated that the oxidative electropolymerization (observed in non-aqueous solutions) can be accomplished by potential cycling between −0.3 and 1.4 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE). Since the droplets do not contain a dissolved electrolyte, the electrochemical reaction starts at the very edge of the three-phase junction organic droplet | graphite | aqueous electrolyte.     

Comparison of transmissive permeable and reflective impermeable interfaces between electrode and electrolyte

This article described the basic concepts of the permeable boundary (PB) and impermeable boundary (IPB) conditions between electrode and electrolyte that are essential in studying diffusion and migration of ions through the electrode for electrochemical devices. The transmission line models (TLMs) were introduced to explain the boundary conditions at the electrode/electrolyte interfaces. The impedance data were simulated based upon the TLMs for PB and IPB conditions, giving attention to the different behaviors of low-frequency impedance. In addition, this article explained that the electrodes used for fuel cells and batteries can be classified according to the PB and IPB conditions.     

Modelling of solid state voltammetry of immobilized microcrystals assuming an initiation of the electrochemical reaction at a three-phase junction

The electrochemical reduction of a solid compound characterized by mixed ionic/electronic conductivity, immobilized on an electrode surface and in contact with an electrolyte solution, has been studied theoretically. The uptake or expulsion of electrons and electrolyte cation is coupled to maintain electroneutrality and is assumed to obey Fick's law of diffusion. Starting with the fully oxidized species, the simultaneous uptake of cations and electrons will be possible at the three-phase junction only, where electrode, solid and electrolyte solution meet. From this point, electrons and cations diffuse perpendicularly into the crystal lattice. The reaction zone grows owing to the formation of the electronically and ionically conducting reduced product. Two- and three-dimensional models have been utilized to simulate the diffusion and the current flow in response to an applied potential step. The resulting chronoamperometric curves have been analyzed with the help of fitting procedures. Under certain conditions, a transition of the three-phase reaction to a pure two-phase reaction occurs. This transition to a two-phase condition is the reason that a number of equations for the exhaustive conversion are similar to those known for planar diffusion, for example. To illustrate this, and for a better understanding of the phenomena, concentration profiles are presented for different degrees of the reaction and for varied simulation conditions. It is demonstrated how geometrical properties like crystal shape (cuboid with x ≠ y ≠ z) and crystal size as well as physical properties, e.g. the diffusion coefficients, govern the electrochemical behavior of mixed ionic/electronic conductors and form the basis of the current-time functions. The numerical simulation of a two-dimensional semi-infinite model of the reaction at the three-phase junction gives results comparable to an algebraical approach. The finite-difference method turned out to be suitable to solve the problems arising from the three-dimensional and finite diffusion conditions and from different crystal shapes.
