Sensitive Flow-Injection Electrochemical Determination of Hydrogen Peroxide at a Palladium Nanoparticle-Modified Pencil Graphite Electrode

A novel flow-injection amperometric method was proposed for the sensitive and enzymeless determination of hydrogen peroxide based on its electrocatalytic reduction at a palladium nanoparticle-modified pretreated pencil graphite electrode in a laboratory-constructed electrochemical flow cell. Cyclic voltammograms of the unmodified and modified electrodes were recorded in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer containing 0.10 M KCl at a scan rate of 50?mV s^?1 for the investigation of electrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide at the palladium nanoparticle-modified pretreated pencil graphite electrode. Cyclic voltammograms of the pretreated pencil graphite electrode revealed an irreversible oxidation peak and a weak reduction peak of hydrogen peroxide at +1100?mV and –450?mV vs. an Ag/AgCl/KCl saturated reference electrode. However, the reduction of hydrogen peroxide was observed at –100?mV with an increase in current in the cyclic voltammograms of the palladium nanoparticle-modified pretreated pencil graphite electrode compared to the unmodified electrode. These results indicate that the palladium nanoparticle-modified pretreated pencil graphite electrode exhibits efficient electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. A linear concentration range was obtained between .01 and 10.0?mM hydrogen peroxide with a detection limit of 3.0 µM from flow injection amperometric current–time curves recorded in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer at –100?mV and a 2.0?mL min^?1 flow rate. The novelty of this work relies on its use of a laboratory-constructed flow cell constructed for the pencil graphite electrode using these inexpensive, disposable, and electrochemically reactive modified electrodes for the amperometric determination of hydrogen peroxide in a flow injection analysis system.     

Highly Efficient and Stable Palladium Nanoparticles Supported on an Ionic Liquid Silica Sol?Gel Modified Electrode

A carbon ionic liquid electrode modified with a thin layer of silica sol? gel containing phosphinite ionic liquid was prepared for deposition of palladium nanoparticles. Palladium nanoparticles were formed easily by simple contact of the modified electrode with palladium chloride solution. The novel material overcomes the shortcomings of conventionally modified electrodes with a thin layer of silica sol? gel, due to the existence of ionic liquid in silica matrix. A crack‐free sol? gel matrix was obtained and also, the uniform porous structure of the ionic liquid‐sol? gel matrix resulted in a fast mass transport and increased ionic conductivity. The electrode exhibits high electrocatalytic effects towards hydrazine and ascorbic acid. It is very stable against repetitive cycling in the applied potential window.     

Strain Influences the Hydrogen Evolution Activity and Absorption Capacity of Palladium

Strain engineering can increase the activity and selectivity of an electrocatalyst. Tensile strain is known to improve the electrocatalytic activity of palladium electrodes for reduction of carbon dioxide or dioxygen, but determining how strain affects the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is complicated by the fact that palladium absorbs hydrogen concurrently with HER. We report here a custom electrochemical cell, which applies tensile strain to a flexible working electrode, that enabled us to resolve how tensile strain affects hydrogen absorption and HER activity for a thin film palladium electrocatalyst. When the electrodes were subjected to mechanically‐applied tensile strain, the amount of hydrogen that absorbed into the palladium decreased, and HER electrocatalytic activity increased. This study showcases how strain can be used to modulate the hydrogen absorption capacity and HER activity of palladium.     

Preparation of palladium nanoparticles–titanium electrodes as a new anode for direct methanol fuel cells

Pd nanoparticle/Ti electrodes are prepared by electroless plating of palladium on titanium plates. The morphology and surface analysis of Pd nanoparticle/Ti electrodes are investigated using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, respectively. The results indicate that palladium nanoparticles are homogeneously deposited on the surface of titanium plates. The electro-catalytic activity of Pd nanoparticle/Ti electrodes in the methanol electro-oxidation is studied by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry methods. The results show that the electro-catalytic oxidation of methanol on the Pd nanoparticle/Ti electrode improved compare to pure palladium electrode and confirmed the better electro-catalytic activity and stability of these new electrodes.     

Palladium nanoparticle decorated carbon ionic liquid electrode for highly efficient electrocatalytic oxidation and determination of hydrazine

In this work arrays of palladium nanoparticles were synthesized on carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) (Pd/CILE), and the electrocatalytic oxidation of hydrazine was investigated using this electrode. Electrochemical oxidation of hydrazine in phosphate buffer (pH 7) was performed using cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetric techniques (SWV). Using the proposed electrode, a highly reproducible and well-defined peak was obtained for hydrazine at a very low potential of −0.02 V versus Ag/AgCl. A linear dynamic range of 5-800 μM with an experimental detection limit of 0.82 μM was obtained. These results show that the proposed electrode displays better electrocatalytic activity compared to the previously reported palladium modified electrodes towards oxidation of hydrazine.     

Preparation and characterization of Pd/PPy-SDS/foam-Ni and Pd/PPy-CTAB/foam-Ni electrodes with high electroactive surface area

The characteristics of the prepared electrodes were investigated. Based on the results of scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry, and cyclic voltammetry tests, both of the two surfactants could improve the electrodes' electrocatalytic activity. Results also indicate that Pd/PPy-SDS/foam-Ni electrode has higher catalytic potential capability than Pd/PPy-CTAB/foam-Ni electrode.     

Synergistic effect in the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol on platinum+palladium alloy electrodes

The electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol has been investigated on platinium+palladium alloy electrodes of different compositions in acid, neutral and alkaline aqueous solutions.The surface characteristics (composition and roughness factor) of the alloys and the stability of the electrodes in contact with different electrolytic solutions have been studied using cyclic voltammetry. In particular, a surface enrichment in platinum due to a preferential dissolution of palladium and an increase of the roughness factor with an increase of the palladium content has been shown.The electrocatalytic activity of different alloys for methanol oxidation has been characterized by exchange current densities obtained from extrapolation of Tafel lines of calculated equilibrium potential. The plot of these current densities vs. the surface composition leads to a synergistic effect, particularly important in alkaline medium. A reasonable explanation of this enhanced electroactivity at about 15 at.% in Pd is given on the basis of a decrease of electrode poisoning.

Gold particles supported on self-organized nanotubular TiO2 matrix as highly active catalysts for electrochemical oxidation of glucose

Au/TiO₂/Ti electrode was prepared by a two-step process of anodic oxidation of titanium followed by cathodic electrodeposition of gold on resulted TiO₂. The morphology and surface analysis of Au/TiO₂/Ti electrodes was investigated using scanning electron microscopy and EDAX, respectively. The results indicated that gold particles were homogeneously deposited on the surface of TiO₂ nanotubes. The nanotubular TiO₂ layers consist of individual tubes of about 60–90 nm in diameter, and the electrode surface was covered by gold particles with a diameter of about 100–200 nm which are distributed evenly on the titanium dioxide nanotubes. This nanotubular TiO₂ support provides a high surface area and therefore enhances the electrocatalytic activity of Au/TiO₂/Ti electrode. The electrocatalytic behavior of Au/TiO₂/Ti electrodes in the glucose electro-oxidation was studied by cyclic voltammetry. The results showed that Au/TiO₂/Ti electrodes exhibit a considerably higher electrocatalytic activity toward the glucose oxidation than that of gold electrode.     

Polycrystalline and monocrystalline antimony, iridium and palladium as electrode material for pH-sensing electrodes

Different ways of making pH-sensing electrodes from monocrystalline or polycrystalline antimony, iridium and palladium have been investigated. Monocrystalline antimony and iridium are superior to the polycrystalline elements with respect to reproducibility between electrodes and stability of the electrode potential over long periods of time. No good palladium/palladium oxide electrode could be obtained by electrochemical oxidation and the thermal preparation method could not take advantage of the properties of the monocrystalline palladium. Therefore, only polycrystalline palladium was used to study this type of electrodes. The different electrodes were compared with respect to the manner of preparation, the pH-response (reproducibility and time response) and the effect that different complexing ligands present in the measuring solutions may have on the electrode response. Also, the redox-response of the electrodes and the effect of different oxygen pressures on the electrode potentials were studied. The monocrystalline antimony electrodes have the best reproducibility and long-term stability but also respond to complexing ligands and to variations in the oxygen pressure. Monocrystalline iridium electrodes can be obtained by continuously cycling the potential between -0.25 and +1.25 V (SCE) in 0.5M sulphuric acid. They do not respond to the complexing ligands tested, and have fairly good long-term stability, but the reproducibility between electrodes is inferior to that of the monocrystalline antimony electrodes. Polycrystalline antimony and iridium electrodes were inferior to the monocrystalline ones. The properties of the palladium electrodes were similar to those of the iridium ones.
