Electron-transfer reactions at the plasma-liquid interface

Electrochemical reactions are normally initiated in solution by metal electrodes such as Pt, which are expensive and limited in supply. In this Communication, we demonstrate that an atmospheric-pressure microplasma can act as a gaseous, metal-free electrode to mediate electron-transfer reactions in aqueous solutions. Ferricyanide is reduced to ferrocyanide by plasma electrons, and the reduction rate is found to depend on discharge current. The ability to initiate and control electrochemical reactions at the plasma-liquid interface opens a new direction for electrochemistry based on interactions between gas-phase electrons and ionic solutions.

Calorimetry of electrode reaction under linear sweep-current polarization

The mathematical-physical equation concerning the process of calorimetry of electrode reactions was deduced, and the corresponding solutions were obtained respectively for the period of the electrochemical polarization and that of the natural cooling. The calorimetry of the anodic oxidation of ferrocyanide to ferricyanide under linear sweep-current polarization was carried out, the obtained apparent enthalpy change of the electrode reaction agreed well with that obtained by the calorimetry with constant currents. The developed calorimetry with linear sweep-current and the data processing method are applicable for quick determination of apparent enthalpy changes of electrode reactions.     

Limiting current in a redox system on a vertical electrode under conditions of natural convection

The problem of calculating the limiting current in a redox system on a vertical plane electrode under the natural convection conditions is solved. By way of example, the reaction of ferrocyanide oxidation on platinum in a solution containing a mixture of potassium ferrocyanide and ferricyanide (in excess). An equation for the effective Rayleigh number determining the limiting current is derived by Kármán’s method with allowance made for the migration current of an indifferent electrolyte. Limiting currents in the electrochemical system under study are determined experimentally. The calculated and measured limiting currents are compared.     

Study of the Adsorption of Glutathione on a Gold Electrode by Using Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Impedance, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy, and Cyclic Voltammetry

Adsorption of a biological peptide, glutathione, on a gold electrode was studied by using electrochemical quartz crystal impedance (EQCI), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. The time courses of responses of piezoelectric and electrochemical impedance parameters were simultaneously obtained during the adsorption processes of the two forms of peptide, oxidized and reduced glutathione. It was found that the frequency curve due to the oxidized glutathione (GSSG) adsorption exhibited a character of a sum of two exponential functions. For reduced glutathione (GSH), the frequency adsorption curve could be expressed by a first-order reaction kinetic model and the corresponding kinetic parameters at different amounts of GSH were obtained. The heterogeneous charge-transfer rate constants of ferricyanide/ferrocyanide before and after the peptide adsorption were determined by CV and EIS methods, respectively. According to the simple equivalent electric network of the electrochemical interface, the electrochemical impedance parameters were also obtained. The results showed that the proposed method should be found in wider applications in interfacial biochemistry studies since these combined techniques have advantages in real time multidimensional information including electrochemical and electrochemical impedance parameters.

Kinetic study of transmembrane electron transport by the hinkle process

Trans-membrane redox reactions mediated by t-amylferrocene (one-electron carrier) were studied kinetically in a liposome system separating two redox pairs (ferricyanide/ferrocyanide and dehydroascorbate/ascorbate). In order to eliminate the membrane potential generated, which suppressed the rate of the reaction, the rate was measured in the presence of carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone. The reaction rate was independent of concentrations of ascorbate and dehydroascorbate. Ferricyanide also had virtually no effect on the rate, but addition of ferrocyanide decreased it. The results were analysed on the basis of rate equations derived from the possible reaction mechanism, and it was concluded that the rate-determining step of the trans-membrane redox reaction was the process of diffusion of the mediator in the membrane.     

Study of the Electrochemical Behavior of Biodiesel Microemulsion

Microemulsions have become a widely employed technique for the control of biodiesel quality but are still poorly understood as regard to their electrochemical behavior. In this work, we report the fundamental importance associated with the knowledge of electrochemical behavior of microemulsions composed of water in the presence of a supporting electrolyte, soybean biodiesel and propan‐1‐ol as consolute, along with the ferrocyanide–ferricyanide redox system applied as probe. The voltammetric results showed that for different compositions of microemulsions, variation in peak currents and change in system reversibility as well as in the electron transfer process were clearly noted. Furthermore, through the study of the diffusion coefficient, three different types of microemulsions including Oil/Water, Bicontinuous, and Water/Oil were successfully identified. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies were also carried out aiming at obtaining more information regarding the electrode/solution interface. All the studies performed demonstrated that different types of microemulsions were formed upon exerting a direct influence on the electrochemical behavior of the redox probe. These results, in essence, point to the possibility of choosing a more suitable and advantageous microemulsion type for the development of an analytical method, as in the case, for example, of the microemulsions ME‐2 and ME‐3 which presented high voltammetric response in redox probe oxidation.     

Respiration activity of Escherichia coli entrapped in a cone-shaped microwell and cylindrical micropore monitored by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM)

The metabolic activity of E. coli cells embedded in collagen gel microstructures in a cone-shaped well and in a cylindrical micropore was investigated using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), based on the oxygen consumption rate and the conversion rate from ferrocyanide to ferricyanide. The analysis of the concentration profiles for oxygen and ferrocyanide afforded the oxygen consumption rate and the ferrocyanide production rate. A comparison indicated that the ferrocyanide production rates were larger than the oxygen consumption rate, and also that the rates observed in the cylindrical micropore were larger than those observed in the cone-shaped well. The ferrocyanide production rate of a single E. coli cell was calculated to be (5.4 +/- 2.6) x 10(-19) mol s(-1), using a cylindrical micropore system.     

Comparative study of electron transfer reactions at the ionic liquid/water and organic/water interfaces

The rates of electron transfer (ET) reactions at the water/ionic liquid (IL) interface have been measured for the first time using scanning electrochemical microscopy. The standard bimolecular rate constant of the interfacial ET between ferrocene dissolved in 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide and aqueous ferricyanide (0.4 M-1 cm s-1) was found to be approximately 30 times higher than the corresponding rate constant measured at the water/1,2-dichloroethane interface. The driving force dependence of the ET rate was investigated over a wide range of the interfacial potential drop values (>200 mV). The observed Butler-Volmer-type dependence is discussed in terms of the interfacial model. The ET was also probed at the interface between aqueous solution and the mixture of the IL and 1,2-dichloroethane. The mole fractions in this mixture were varied systematically to investigate the transition from the water/organic to the water/IL interface. The observed decrease in the rate constant with increasing mole fraction of 1,2-dichloroethane is in contrast with the previously reported direct correlation between the electrochemical rate constant and the diffusion coefficient of redox species in solution.
