Theory of cyclic voltammetry for electrochemical nucleation and growth

The theory of cyclic voltammetry for processes of 3D nucleation, diffusion-controlled growth, and dissolution is proposed. The cases of single metal cluster formation and multiple nucleation are studied. The main features of cyclic voltammograms are analyzed: current increase on forward scan during nucleation, nucleation loop, maximum cathode current on reverse scan, and anodic peak of metal stripping.     

Contribution of migration current to the voltammetric deposition and stripping of lead with and without added supporting electrolyte at a mercury-free carbon fibre microdisc electrode

In order to assess the contribution and analytical significance of migration, electrochemical studies on the deposition and stripping of lead at a carbon fibre microelectrode (diameter of 10 μm) have been undertaken in aqueous solutions containing 1 mM lead ions with variable KNO₃ supporting electrolyte concentrations (10⁻¹ to 10⁻⁵ M), as well as in the total absence of deliberately added supporting electrolyte. The methodology involved the application of cyclic voltammetry to characterise the Pb²⁺ (solution)+2e⁻Pb (metal) process in both the reduction (Pb deposition) and stripping (Pb dissolution) directions. The use of a mercury-free carbon surfaces means that the lead stripping does not occur from the amalgam state, as is commonly the case in anodic stripping voltammetry. In the deposition step, the current rises sharply with potential in response to a lead nucleation-growth process and then reaches an almost potential independent limiting value. The stripping step, obtained on the reverse scan, exhibited oxidation peak currents resulting from the redissolution or stripping of the metal from the electrode surface. The influence of the electrolyte concentration and hence migration current at −0.8 V versus Ag/AgCl for the deposition process, as well on the redissolution peak current and the dependence of the voltammograms on scan rate (10–1000 mV) are discussed. Interestingly, neither deposition limiting nor stripping peak currents vary in a simple manner with added supporting electrolyte concentrations, with maximum values being observed at 10⁻⁵ M rather than zero concentration of added KNO₃. An important implication for the voltammetric determination of lead in low ionic strength media by the very sensitive technique of anodic stripping voltammetry is that use of the method of standard additions commonly employed to minimise unknown matrix problems, is prone to error when contributions to the process from migration current are important.     

Electrooxidation of ethylene glycol using gold nanoparticles electrodeposited on pencil graphite in alkaline medium

The electrooxidation of ethylene glycol(EG) on the surface of gold nanoparticles(AuNPs) in alkaline medium was investigated.AuNPs were electrodeposited on pencil graphite(PG) by fast scan cyclic voltammetry.Different sizes of AuNPs deposited on the surface of PG(AuNPs/PG) were used for the electrooxidation process.AuNPs were electrodeposited on PG at various deposition times in the same potential range but with different scan rates and scan cycles.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) were used to visualize and characterize the prepared AuNPs/PG electrodes.Cyclic voltammograms were also used to investigate the electrooxidation of EG.The effects of EG and supporting electrolyte concentrations,scan rate,particle size of AuNPs and final potential limit on the electrooxidation process have been investigated.Further studies showed that the electrooxidation of EG is affected by temperature of the medium.The prepared AuNPs showed stability after long-term use.     

Determination of lead in an Sb-Pb alloy by anodic linear scan voltammetry

Anodic linear scan voltammetry (ALSV) has been used to determine the content of Pb (up to 3.5 wt%) in a eutectic type of binary Sb-Pb alloy. The effect of type of electrolyte and as well as the rate of the potential change on the dissolution of Pb from this alloy were investigated by ALSV. The method can be used for the determination of low concentrations of Pb in the investigated alloy and well-defined current peaks of Pb dissolution can be detected on the voltammograms. Well-de-fined linear dependencies between the quantities of electricity under the current peak of Pb dissolution (QPb) and the respective contents of Pb (w) in the alloy, so-called "check curves", were found. The smallest ratio of Pb in Sb-Pb alloy which could be detected by ALSV was 0.45 wt%. The dissolution involves only ten atomic layers of the less precious metal (Pb) from the surface of the alloy samples.     

Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Ultra Trace of Zinc and Lead with Carbidopa as Complexing Agent in Food and Water Samples

In the present work, the cathodic stripping voltammetric methodology using a hanging mercury drop electrode was described for simultaneous determination of lead and zinc in different real samples. The method is based on adsorption of metal ions on mercury electrode using carbidopa as a suitable complexing agent. The potential was scanned to the negative direction and the differential pulse stripping voltammograms were recorded. Optimal conditions were found to be: accumulation time; 70 s, accumulation potential; 50 mV versus Ag/AgCl, scan rate; 40 mV s^?1, supporting electrolyte; 0.01 M ammonia buffer at pH 8.5, and concentration of carbidopa; 8.0 μM. The relationship between the peak current versus concentration was linear over the range of 0.1–210 and 0.2–170 nM for lead and zinc, respectively. The detection limits are 0.09 and 0.15 nM for lead and zinc ions respectively. The relative standard deviations at a concentration level of 70 nM of both metal ions are found 1.08 and 1.24% for lead and zinc ions respectively.     

Electrodeposition mechanism of nickel films on polycrystalline copper from dilute simple sulphate solutions

In this paper, we have studied the mechanism of nucleation and growth of nickel from a simple sulfate bath on polycrystalline copper (Cu) substrate. Cyclic voltammetry technique and current transients recorded during electrodeposition of nickel on Cu were used to evaluate the electrochemical deposition of nickel on copper. Results show that nickel starts to grow on copper from a typical potential of −0.7 V vs. Ag/AgCl. Increasing scan rate of cyclic voltammograms shifts the reduction peaks towards a more negative values. We plotted non-dimensional graphs according to the Scharifker-Hills theory and concluded an instantaneous nucleation and growth mechanism for nickel elecrodeposited on copper based on our experimental conditions.     

Cupric Hexacyanoferrate Nanoparticle Modified Carbon Ceramic Composite Electrodes

Graphite powder-supported cupric hexacyanoferrate(CuHCF) nanoparticles were dispersed into methyltrimethoxysilane-based gels to produce a conducting carbon ceramic composite,which was used as electrode materials to fabricate surface-renewable CuHCF-modified electrodes.Electrochemical behavior of the CuHCF-modified carbon ceramic composite electrodes was characterized using cyclic and square-wave voltammetry. Cyclinc voltammograms at various scan rates indicated that peak currents were suface-confined at low scan rates.In the presence of glutathione,a clear electrocatalytic response was observed at the CuHCF-modified composite electrodes.In addition,the electrodes exhibited a distinct advantage of reproducible surface-renewal by simple mechanical polishing on emery paper,as well as ease of preparation,and good chemical and mechanical stability in a flowing stream.     

The electrochemistry of gold in acid aqueous solutions containing chloride ions

Results obtained with differently prepared gold electrodes in acid solutions containing chloride ion at temperatures ranging from 22 to 65°C are reported. Potentiostatic techniques and rotating disc electrodes were employed. The anodic dissolution, the onset of passivity and the cathodic deposition of the metal are investigated under different experimental conditions. The anodic dissolution of Au is discussed in terms of possible reaction mechanisms involving the participation of different adsorbed species. The onset of passivation is related to the depletion of chloride ion at the reaction interface. The experimental voltammograms can be reporduced by means of an equation which considers the diffusion of chloride ion, the activation polarization related to the dissolution of Au and the establishment of passivity.
