Effect of electrode surface microstructure on electron transfer induced conformation changes in cytochrome c monitored by in situ UV and CD spectroelectrochemistry

Electrochemical redox processes of bovine heart cytochrome c were investigated by in situ UV-vis and CD spectroelectrochemistry at bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) modified glassy carbon electrode (SWNTs/GCE) using a long optical path thin layer cell. The spectra obtained at GCE and SWNTs/GCE reflect electrode surface microstructure-dependent changes in protein conformation during redox transition. Potential-dependent conformational distribution curves of cytochrome c obtained by analysis of in situ circular dichroism (CD) spectra using singular value decomposition least square (SVDLS) method show that SWNTs can retain conformation of cytochrome c. Some parameters of the electrochemical reduction process, i.e. the product of electron transfer coefficient and number of electrons (alpha n = 0.3), apparent formal potential (E0' = 0.04 V), were obtained by double logarithmic analysis and standard heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant k0 was obtained by electrochemistry and double logarithmic analysis, respectively.     

Electrode/Electrolyte Synergy for Concerted Promotion of Electron and Proton Transfers toward Efficient Neutral Water Oxidation

Neutral water oxidation is a crucial half-reaction for various electrochemical applications requiring pH-benign conditions. However, its sluggish kinetics with limited proton and electron transfer rates greatly impacts the overall energy efficiency. In this work, we created an electrode/electrolyte synergy strategy for simultaneously enhancing the proton and electron transfers at the interface toward highly efficient neutral water oxidation. The charge transfer was accelerated between the iridium oxide and in situ formed nickel oxyhydroxide on the electrode end. The proton transfer was expedited by the compact borate environment that originated from hierarchical fluoride/borate anions on the electrolyte end. These concerted promotions facilitated the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) events. Due to the electrode/electrolyte synergy, Ir−O and Ir−OO⁻ intermediates could be directly detected by in situ Raman spectroscopy, and the rate-limiting step of Ir−O oxidation was determined. This synergy strategy can extend the scope of optimizing electrocatalytic activities toward more electrode/electrolyte combinations.     

Electron dopable molecular wires based on the extended viologens

Facile electron transfer in molecules with one dimension greatly exceeding the other two is essential in the development of new molecular electronic devices as these molecules can serve as so-called molecular wires. In this communication the electrochemical behavior of a series of molecules with multiple extended viologen moieties has been studied. We show that the electron transfer in the shortest wire is due to reduction of two identical communicating pyridinium moieties leading to a full charge delocalization, whereas the electron transfer in molecules with n≥ 2 is due to reduction of initially non-communicating centers. This was confirmed by digital simulation of cyclic voltammograms. All studied molecules accept reversibly at least four and up to ten electrons without any long-term chemical changes, which is a prerequisite for their future application. Chemical stability of these molecules after multiple electron transfer was confirmed by in situ UV-Vis spectroelectrochemical detection.     

Monte Carlo simulations of heterogeneous electron transfer: New challenges

We report results of MC simulations of electron transfer across a metal electrode/electrolyte solution interface. The model presumes the Landau–Zener theory and a random walk on a two-dimensional lattice formed by crossing parabolic reaction free energy surfaces along the solvent coordinate. Emphasis is put on investigating the activationless discharge regime; the bridge-assisted electron transfer is also partially addressed. We have calculated effective electronic transmission coefficient as a function of the electrode overpotential and temperature in a wide range of orbital overlap. The dependence of the transmission coefficient on the electronic density of states is analyzed as well.

ZnO/Cu nanocomposite: a platform for direct electrochemistry of enzymes and biosensing applications

Unique structured nanomaterials can facilitate the direct electron transfer between redox proteins and the electrodes. Here, in situ directed growth on an electrode of a ZnO/Cu nanocomposite was prepared by a simple corrosion approach, which enables robust mechanical adhesion and electrical contact between the nanostructured ZnO and the electrodes. This is great help to realize the direct electron transfer between the electrode surface and the redox protein. SEM images demonstrate that the morphology of the ZnO/Cu nanocomposite has a large specific surface area, which is favorable to immobilize the biomolecules and construct biosensors. Using glucose oxidase (GOx) as a model, this ZnO/Cu nanocomposite is employed for immobilization of GOx and the construction of the glucose biosensor. Direct electron transfer of GOx is achieved at ZnO/Cu nanocomposite with a high heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant of 0.67 ± 0.06 s(-1). Such ZnO/Cu nanocomposite provides a good matrix for direct electrochemistry of enzymes and mediator-free enzymatic biosensors.     

Direct electron transfer reaction of glucose oxidase at bare silver electrodes and its application in analysis

The direct electron transfer reaction of glucose oxidase (GOx) at a bare silver electrode is verified. The electron transfer number n = 2, electron transfer coefficient α = 0.45 and rate constant of the electrochemical reaction K_s = 0.1 s⁻¹ are obtained. This communication presents a multimolecular adsorption model to explain the properties of the direct electron reaction between GOx and bare silver electrodes. The residual valence force may be an important factor to ensure a direct electron transfer reaction on the bare electrode. On the basis of the experimental fact that only biologically active GOx exhibits electrochemical activity in solution, a facile analytical method for analyzing the active GOx concentration is developed. The results determined correspond very well to that of a spectrometric method.
