Voltammetric sizing of inert particles.

The average size of inert particles is determined using a simple electrochemical procedure. Alumina particles are deposited on an edge-plane graphite electrode, and a cyclic voltammogram is recorded. The scan rate employed varies between 0.2 and 2 V s(-1). At these scan rates the diffusion layer thickness is greater than the size of the alumina particles, minimizing the influence of the particles' height on the observed voltammetry. The average size of the particles is determined via comparison of the experimental voltammograms with simulations.

Thin-layer cell with a rapidly dropping mercury electrode for liquid chromatographic detection

Summary A thin-layer cell with a horizontally positioned, rapidly dropping mercury electrode (TL-RDME) was developed for use in electrochemical detection in liquid chromatography. A specific application to electrosorptive detection based on the measurement of differential doublelayer capacitance, C_d, is detailed. The construction is of both Kel-F and acrylic materials, the latter chosen for ease of viewing. Interchangeable capillaries of varying internal diameter combined with gasket-determined channel thickness allows for a variation in drop times from below 10 ms to more than 200 ms. A drain solution flowing past the reference electrode, which is positioned upstream of the working electrode, provides a convenient electrolyte make-up stream. Typical C_d responses are compared to those obtained using a largevolume wall-jet cell/electrode geometry.     

The Effect of Supporting Electrolyte Concentration on Zinc Electrodeposition Kinetics from Methimazole Solutions

The kinetic parameters of Zn²⁺ ion electroreduction in sodium perchlorate used as the supporting electrolyte on the mercury electrode in the presence of methimazole were determined using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and DC polarography. The two‐stage nature of this process was demonstrated. Both steps are catalysed by a methimazole. The size of the acceleration effect depends on the concentrations of methimazole and the supporting electrolyte. The acceleration of the electrode process involves the formation of active complexes between the depolarizer ions and methimazole on the electrode surface. These complexes facilitate the exchange of charge between the electrode and zinc ions during electroreduction process. The change of the hydrating sphere of the zinc ion is also important here. This in turn depends on its oxidation state and the concentration of the supporting electrolyte.     

Electrochemical Studies of Chemically Modified Nanometer‐Sized Electrodes

Self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 4‐aminothiophenol (4‐ATP) has been successfully deposited onto nanometer‐sized gold (Au) electrodes. The cyclic voltammograms obtained on a 4‐ATP SAMs modified electrode show peaks and the peak height is proportional to the scan rate, which is similar to that on an electroactive SAMs modified macro electrode. The electrochemical behavior and mechanism of outer‐sphere electron transfer reaction on the 4‐ATP SAMs modified nanometer‐sized electrode has also been studied. The 4‐ATP SAMs modified electrode is further modified with platinum (Pt) nanoparticles. Electrochemical behaviors show that there is electrical communication between Pt nanoparticles and Au metal on the Pt nanoparticles/4‐ATP SAMs/Au electrode. However, scanning electron microscopic image shows that the Pt nanoparticles are not evenly covered the electrode.     

Layer-by-layer assembly of silicotungstate multilayer films modified on glassy carbon electrode and their electrochemical behaviors

A new electrode was modified by multilayer films composed of heteropolyanion (SiW12) and cationic polymer poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) through electrochemical growth. The modified electrode electrochemical behavior, the effect of solution pH and electrocatalytic response to the reduction of BrO3- and NO2- have been investigated. The result shows that the electrochemical process of multilayer films modified electrode including SiW12 is a reversible process by electrochemical step. One-electron process has no proton participation in the first step, and one-electron process is accompanied by one proton participation in the second step and two-electron process is accompanied by two protons participation in the third step. The films grow uniformly, and the peak currents increase with increasing layer numbers. The peak currents increase with scan rate, and the reduced potentials of multilayer films shift negatively with increasing pH. The electrochemical mechanism of multilayer films was suggested.     

Carbon composite electrodes: surface and electrochemical properties

Electrodes based on particulate carbon-epoxy or silicone composites have been formed and characterised using electrochemical methods, scanning electron microscopy and scanning electrochemical microscopy. These composites are rigid, exhibit high electrical conductivity and are stable in organic solvents for prolonged periods. The bulk resistance of the Araldite-M and Araldite-CW2215 based electrodes is low, 130+/-12 and 185+/-15 ohms, respectively. In contrast, the bulk resistance of the silicone based electrodes is 1480+/-112 ohms. The uncompensated resistance of electrochemical cells where the composites act as working electrodes is significantly larger than that expected on the basis of solution resistance alone, i.e., up to 7.5 kohms in the case of the silicone composites. These results are interpreted in terms of the presence of pores within the composite material. The response times of the composite electrodes to changes in the applied potential is between 3.1 and 7.2 ms which, although almost an order of magnitude longer than a comparable glassy carbon electrode, is sufficiently rapid to give useful voltammetric data for scan rates of several V s(-1). Close to ideal reversible cyclic voltammetry is observed for ferrocene under semi-infinite diffusion control for scan rates between 0.01 and 0.1 V s(-1) at the Araldite composites. In contrast, the large resistance associated with the silicone based materials causes quasi-reversible responses to be observed over this range of scan rate. Scan rate dependent cyclic voltammetry and time resolved chronoamperometry responses observed for ferrocene in solution are consistent with those expected for a random array of microelectrodes. Scanning electron microscopy and scanning electrochemical microscopy has been used to image the shape, size and electrochemical activity of the electroactive zones. In the case of Araldite-M, the quality of the electrode surface has been probed by comparing the rate of heterogeneous electron transfer at a composite microelectrode with that found for a carbon fibre electrode. The standard heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant, k degrees , is 6.0+/-0.1 x 10(-3) cm s(-1) for the composite compared to 1.5+/-0.1 x 10(-1) cm s(-1) for the carbon fibre electrode. While the smaller rate constant found for the composite suggests a less pristine surface, k degrees is sufficiently large to support reversible, electron transfer under typical electroanalytical conditions. These fundamental measurements will underpin the development of enzyme based biosensors for use in organic solvents.

Dielectrophoresis force spectroscopy for colloidal clusters

Optical trapping-based force spectroscopy was used to measure the frequency-dependent DEP forces and DEP crossover frequencies of colloidal polymethyl methacrylate spheres and clusters. A single sphere or cluster, held by an optical tweezer, was positioned near the center of a pair of gold-film electrodes where alternating current elecroosmosis flow was negligible. Use of amplitude modulation and phase-sensitive lock-in detection for accurate measurement of the DEP force yielded new insight into dielectric relaxation mechanisms near the crossover frequencies. On one hand, the size dependence of the DEP force near the crossover frequencies indicates that the dominant polarization mechanism is a volume effect. On the other hand, the power-law dependence of the crossover frequency on the particle radius with an exponent of -2 indicates the dielectric relaxation is more likely because of ionic diffusion across the particle surface, suggesting the dominant polarization mechanism may be a surface polarization effect. Better theories are needed to explain the experiment. Nevertheless, the strong size dependence of the crossover frequencies suggests the use of DEP for size sorting of micron-sized particles.

Spectroscopic and electrochemical study of the adsorption of [Co(en)2Cl2]Cl on gamma-alumina: influence of the alumina ligand on Co(III)/(II) redox potential

UV-visible and Raman spectroscopies as well as electrochemical techniques have been used to characterize cis- and trans-[Co(III)(en)2Cl2]Cl (en=ethylenediamine) complexes and the gamma-alumina-supported cis-Co((III)) complex. It is shown that the electrochemical reduction of these complexes occurs according to a multistage mechanism involving two electrochemical steps, with the formation of a dimer that was characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy (intervalence band at 670 nm). The apparent standard redox potential for each step has been determined, and experimental results reveal that cis and trans complexes present similar electrochemical characteristics. It is also shown that the deposition of trans-[Co(III)(en)2Cl2]+ on gamma-alumina leads to an inner-sphere complex (ISC) in a cis configuration in which Cl- ligands are substituted by OH or O- surface groups of alumina. These changes in the coordination sphere of the complex induce a substantial decrease of its apparent redox potential since it is -0.63 V/SCE (saturated calomel electrode) for the gamma-alumina-supported cis-Co(III) complex, whereas values of -0.17 and -0.35 V/SCE were determined in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for the trans and cis precursor complexes, respectively.

Capillary electrophoresis of some tetracycline antibiotics coupled with reductive fast cyclic voltammetric detection.

The separation and quantitative performance parameters for tetracycline, chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline antibiotics were investigated by capillary zone electrophoresis coupled with fast cyclic voltammetric detection. Optimization of pH and complexation with a boric acid-sodium tetraborate buffer provided good resolution of all compounds. Detection by electrochemical reduction using fast on-line cyclic voltammetric detection with a Hg-film-microm electrode gave detection limits (2 x peak-to-peak baseline noise) of 7 x 10(-7) mol/l for tetracycline and chlortetracycline, and 1.5 x 10(-6) mol/l for oxytetracycline. The influence of electrode material, potential range and scan rate was examined and discussed. Optimal electrochemical detection was obtained at a Hg-film electrode with a waveform that consisted of an initial constant potential of -0.6 V for 200 ms followed by a cyclic voltammetry (CV) scan at 300 V/s from - 0.6 V to a vertex potential of 1.7 V. The analytical signal was obtained by plotting the integrated values of the CV current from each applied waveform as a function of time. The calibration plot (peak areas) for each separated peak was found to be linear over three-orders of magnitude.
