Surface poisoning during electrocatalytic monosaccharide oxidation reactions at gold electrodes in alkaline medium

In the present study, the surface poisoning of electrocatalytic monosaccharide oxidation reactions at gold electrodes were investigated. In the cyclic voltammetric studies, the electrocatalytic oxidation of aldohexose and aldopentose type monosaccharides, aminosugars, acetyl-glucosamine and glucronamide were observed at gold plate electrodes in alkaline medium. However, in controlled-potential electrolytic studies ranging −0.3 to −0.2 V in reaction solutions, current flows during electrolyses decreased quickly with time, except when glucosamine was used as a substrate.Results from surface enhanced infrared adsorption (SEIRA) spectroscopic measurements at an evaporated gold electrode for the electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose in 0.1 mol dm⁻³ NaOH at −0.3 V and Gaussian simulated spectra indicated that the gluconic acid as a 2-electron oxidation product and/or its analogs adsorbed onto the gold surface. Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) measurement results, along with surface adsorption results from surface poisoning at the gold electrode during electrolytic reactions, suggested that gluconic acid and/or its analogs adsorbed vertically onto electrode surfaces in a full monolayer packing-like conformation. In the case of the electro oxidation of glucosamine in 0.1 mol dm⁻³ NaOH at −0.2 V, the obtained SEIRA spectra and EQCM results, clearly indicated that the glucosaminic acid as a 2-oxidation glucosamine product did not strongly bind onto the gold electrode surface.     

Voltammetric Study and Detection of Methane on Nickel Hydroxide–Modified Nickel Electrode

Abstract

The nickel hydroxide–modified nickel (NMN) electrode was prepared by cyclic voltammetry. The modified electrode exhibited better catalytic effect toward electrochemical oxidation of methane in 1.0 mol · L^?1 NaOH solution. The catalytic activation of nickel hydroxide on the nickel electrode surface was investigated in different supporting electrolyte solutions by the cyclic voltammetry method in detail, and the related electrochemical oxidation of methane at the NMN electrode was first proposed by amperometric i‐t curve method under the experiment conditions. The results indicated that in the 1.0 mol · L^?1 NaOH solution, the anodic peak current increased with the increased concentration of methane.

高碳铬铁在氢氧化钠水溶液中电化学氧化过程

铬铁电化学氧化法是一种新的制备铬酸钠的方法,然而高碳铬铁在NaOH水溶液中的电化学氧化过程尚不明确。 采用循环伏安法(CV)、稳态极化法(LSV)等电化学测试方法对金属铬、高碳铬铁在NaOH水溶液中的电化学氧化过程进行研究,通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、能量散射谱(EDS)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)对高碳铬铁电解后固相产物表征,判断固相产物的组成。 结果表明,高碳铬铁不同于金属铬的电氧化过程,它在NaOH溶液中通过Cr(0)→Cr(Ⅵ)的电氧化方式生成铬酸钠,中间产物Cr(OH)₃和Fe(0)发生电化学反应生成稳定的FeCr₂O₄。 随着NaOH浓度的增加,电势较低时,受高碳铬铁中Fe(0)的影响,高碳铬铁容易在NaOH水溶液中发生钝化;当电势足够正时,钝化膜溶解,生成铬酸钠、氢氧化铁和亚铬酸亚铁,同时,阳极表面有氧气析出。 高碳铬铁电化学氧化制备铬酸钠的适宜条件:碱浓度≥2 mol/L,阳极电势≥1.6 V(vs.SCE)。

Surface characterization and electrical property of carbon fibers modified by air oxidation

Polyacrylonitrile‐based carbon fibers were modified by oxidation in air, and a systematic study of surface groups and surface resistance at different treated temperatures was made. Progressive fiber weight loss occurred with increasing extents of air oxidation, and it was approximately proportional to the extent of air oxidation from the onset of oxidation up to 400 °C. At this point 4.4% of the initial fiber weight had been lost. A faster loss of weight occurred as the extent of air oxidation increased from 400 °C to 700 °C. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies (C 1s and O 1s) indicated that the oxygen/carbon atomic ratio rose rapidly from 2.64% (as‐received carbon fiber) to 42.83% as the oxidation temperature was increased to 400 °C. Fourier transform infrared spectra showed the relative intensity of the peaks at about 3440 cm^?1 from ―OH stretching vibrations and at 1634 cm^?1 from ―C?O stretching vibrations increased significantly at 400 °C. FESEM micrographs showed that as‐received fibers show relatively smooth surface. With oxidation temperature increasing, the fiber surface was rougher. The surface resistance of treated carbon fibers decreased obviously with increasing oxidation temperatures. The most decrease was about 100% at 400 °C. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Non-enzymatic electrochemical detection of glycerol on boron-doped diamond electrode

A non-enzymatic direct electrochemical glycerol detection method at a commercial boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode in 0.1 M NaOH supporting electrolyte was developed. All the used electrochemical techniques proved useful features for the oxidation and direct amperometric determination of glycerol at a BDD electrode in 0.1 M NaOH aqueous solution. It was found that the direct electrooxidation of glycerol on the BDD electrode requires both adsorbed glycerol and hydroxyls at the electrode surface. Also, the sp(2) carbon did not allow enhancement of the glycerol oxidation process. The electronalytical sensitivity for the determination of glycerol at the BDD electrode ranged from 0.040 to 0.226 μA mM(-1) as a function of the technique used. The highest electroanalytical sensitivity for the determination of glycerol at the BDD electrode was reached in batch system amperometric quantification under stirring conditions. Performed recovery studies indicated that it is possible to determine glycerol in real samples, and the proposed batch system analysis-based methodology can be a valuable tool for practical glycerol analysis.     

Catalytic wet air oxidation of oleic acid on ceria-supported platinum catalyst.effect of pH

Summary Catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of oleic acid was carried out in a batch reactor on platinum supported ceria catalyst (Pt/CeO₂). Oleic acid is a water insoluble linear unsaturated fatty acid of 18 carbon atoms. To increase the homogeneity of the solution by saponification, the influence of NaOH additions in oleic acid CWAO mechanism and catalyst performances have been investigated. The oxidation of such molecule occurs by two types of mechanisms: successive carboxy-decarboxylation which leads essentially to CO₂and/or C-C bonds splitting in the alkyl chain inducing a high formation of acetic acid. With or without NaOH, the 5%Pt/CeO₂catalyst is active in the conversion of oleic acid and selective to carbon dioxide. In alkaline medium, oleic acid is initially saponified which increases the solubility of the reactant before it to be oxidized. Finally the oxidation is slightly delayed by the presence of NaOH. The catalyst characterizations show no significant difference before and after reaction.</o:p>

氢氧化钠水溶液体系中金属铬的电化学氧化过程

铬铁电氧化溶出技术是一种全新的制备铬酸钠的方法,具有反应条件温和、过程可控、工艺环保等优点,然而金属铬在NaOH水溶液中的电化学氧化过程尚不明确. 本文采用循环伏安法（CV）和阳极极化法（LSV）对金属铬在NaOH水溶液中的电化学氧化过程进行研究. 使用EDS、SEM、XRD和XPS对电解前后的金属铬表征,判断中间物的产生,使用紫外可见分光光度计验证电解液中生成了铬酸钠. 结果表明,金属铬和中间产物Cr(OH)₃可能依次发生电化学氧化直接生成Na₂CrO₄,阳极极化为金属铬的活化. 随着NaOH溶液浓度的增加,Cr(OH)₃和Na₂CrO₄的生成量在增加,金属铬电化学氧化制备铬酸钠的适宜条件为碱浓度≥ 2 mol·L^-1,阳极电势≥ 1.6 V（vs. SCE）.     

Nickel Hydroxide and Intercalated Graphene with Ionic Liquid Nanocomposite‐modified Electrode for Sensing of Glucose

A novel non‐enzymatic glucose sensor based on nickel hydroxide and intercalated graphene with ionic liquid (G‐IL) nanocomposite modified glass carbon electrode was fabricated. Scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectra and energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy of the nanocomposite confirmed the morphology and ingredient of Ni(OH)₂ as well as G‐IL. Moreover, experimental results of cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and chronoamperometry indicated the sensing properties of Ni(OH)₂ at Ni(OH)₂/G‐IL modified electrode towards the typical electrocatalytic oxidation process of glucose at 0.43 V in 0.10 M NaOH. The current response was linearly related to glucose concentration in a range from 0.5 to 500 μM with a detection limit of 0.2 μM (S/N = 3) and sensitivity of 647.8 μA mM^?1 cm^?2. The response time of the sensor to glucose was less than 2 s. This work may be expected to develop an excellent electrochemical sensing platform of G‐IL as a catalysis carrier.

采用了溶剂再生法和气体再生法对脱硫化氢失活后的活性炭进行再生,溶剂再生时所用的溶剂为H2O2溶液、HNO3溶液以及NaOH溶液。结果表明,NaOH溶液不能使活性炭得到再生,而H2O2溶液、HNO3溶液能够通过氧化的方法使活性炭得到再生。气体再生时所用的气体分别为高纯N2,含20%O2的N2,H2,它们再生的原理分别是热再生,通过氧化单质硫再生和通过还原单质硫再生。再生效果最好的是30%的HNO3溶液和H2,它们能将活性炭孔道内的单质硫分别脱出69.8%和81.2%,再生后的活性炭中硫容量能达到原来的70%以上。再生后活性炭的比表面积和pH值是再生性能的两个重要指标。     

Electrochemistry of electropolymerized tetra (p-aminophenyl)porphyrin nickel film electrode and catalytic oxidation of acetaminophen

A polymer film of tetra(p-aminophenyl) porphyrin nickel was obtained at a glassy carbon electrode by a cyclic voltammetric method. Cyclic voltammograms of the film electrode exhibited two stable redox waves with anodic peak potential at 0.43V and cathodic peak potential at 0.30 V in 0.5M NaOH aqueous solution. The electrocatalytic characteristics of the film electrode were studied by cyclic voltammetry, a. c. impedance analysis and other methods. The oxidation peak current increased linearly with the addition of acetaminophen to the aqueous NaOH medium in the range 1 × 10^–6–2 × 10^–4 M acetaminophen. The performance of the electrode was verified by the determination of acetaminophen in a paracetamol preparation.     

Electrocatalytic amperometric determination of amitrole using a cobalt-phthalocyanine-modified carbon paste electrode

Cobalt-phthalocyanine-modified carbon paste electrodes are shown to be excellent indicators for electrocatalytic amperometric measurements of triazolic herbicides such as amitrole, at low oxidation potentials (+0.40 V). The detection and determination of amitrole in flow injection analysis with a modified carbon paste electrode with Co-phthalocyanine is described. The concentrations of amitrole in 0.1 M NaOH solutions were determined using the electrocatalytic oxidation signal corresponding to the Co(II)/Co(III) redox process. A detection limit of 0.04 microg mL(-1) (4 ng amitrole) was obtained for a sample loop of 100 microL at a fixed potential of +0.55 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) in 0.1 M NaOH and a flow rate of 4.0 mL min(-1). Furthermore, the modified carbon paste electrodes offers reproducible responses in such a system, and the relative standard deviation was 3.3% using the same surface, 5.1% using different surface, and 6.9% using different pastes. The performance of the cobalt-phthalocyanine-modified carbon paste electrodes is illustrated here for the determination of amitrole in commercial formulations. The response of the electrodes is stable, with more than 80% of the initial retained activity after 50 min of continuous use.

Effect of low current density electrochemical oxidation on the properties of carbon fiber‐reinforced epoxy resin composites

Changes in surface physicochemical structures of polyacrylonitrile‐based carbon fibers resulted from low current density electrochemical oxidation were monitored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The relationship between the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) values of carbon fiber‐reinforced polymers (CFRPs) and carbon fiber surface chemistry including elemental ratios and the relative content of oxygen‐containing functional groups were researched. SEM results revealed that the electrochemical oxidation got rid of surface contaminants generated during the production process. XPS analysis showed that the relative contents of oxygen and nitrogen increased by 446% and 202%, respectively, after the electrochemical oxidation. Carbon fiber surface chemistry was of paramount importance to the interfacial properties of CFRPs. The higher the carbon fiber surface activity, the better the interfacial bonding was, and an increase in the acidic‐group contents was responsible for a higher ILSS value. However, when the current density increased to 1.0 A/m², the interfacial bonding between carbon fiber and the epoxy resin became weak which led to the decline in ILSS values.

Reaction mechanism of aerobic oxidation of alcohols conducted on activated-carbon-supported cobalt oxide catalysts

Catalytic performances and the reaction mechanism of Co(3)O(4)/AC (AC=activated carbon) for aerobic oxidation of alcohols carried out in the liquid phase were investigated. Co(3)O(4)/AC shows a high activity for aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol, comparable to noble metal catalysts (e.g., Au/AC) even in the absence of additives or promoters (e.g., NaOH). Changing preparation conditions, such as treatment temperature and/or time, can affect the catalytic performances of Co(3)O(4)/AC, due to decomposition of surface groups of the carbon support. Careful studies show that low alcohol conversions are obtained with either Co(3)O(4) or AC alone, which indicates that the high conversion observed over the Co(3)O(4)/AC is due to a synergistic effect between Co(3)O(4) and AC. Parallel experiments using a high-surface-area covalent triazine framework or oxygen-inert carbon nitride as support for the Co(3)O(4) catalyst also show lower conversions, which suggest that the ability of AC (in Co(3)O(4)/AC) to activate molecular oxygen is essential for the reaction. FTIR and XPS spectra taken from catalysts before and after the reaction confirm that oxygen activation proceeds mainly on the carbon support. As a result, it can be assumed that the alcohol dehydrogenation step proceeds on the metal oxide, whereas the oxygen activation step occurs mainly on the carbon support.     

Controlled-potential electrosynthesis of glucosaminic acid from glucosamine at a gold electrode

The electrocatalytic oxidation of d-glucosamine (2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose) in alkaline and neutral solutions was examined using a carbon felt electrode modified with 2 nm core sized gold nanoparticles (Au_2 nm nanoparticles) and a gold plate electrode. The electrocatalytic voltammetric oxidation curves of d-glucosamine were obtained in both solutions. The voltammetric responses for the electrocatalytic oxidation at a Au_2 nm nanoparticle-modified electrode in both alkaline and neutral solutions were almost the same to those at a gold plate electrode. The oxidized product was identified to be d-glucosaminic acid (2-amino-2-deoxy- d-gluconic acid) generated by the 2-electron oxidation product of d-glucosamine by electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectra (ESI TOF-MS). The HPLC results also indicated that the oxidation product was d-glucosaminic acid.The controlled-potential electrolysis of d-glucosamine was performed at the Au_2 nm nanoparticle-modified carbon felt electrodes in both alkaline and neutral solutions. In the alkaline solution, at a potential of −0.2 V, d-glucosaminic acid was formed with a current efficiency of 100%. In the neutral solution, electrolysis at 0.4 V on d-glucosaminic acid was obtained with current efficiencies of 70%.
