Electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose on Ni and NiCu alloy modified glassy carbon electrode

Nickel and nickel–copper alloy modified glassy carbon electrodes (GC/Ni and GC/NiCu) prepared by galvanostatic deposition were examined for their redox processes and electro-catalytic activities towards the oxidation of glucose in alkaline solutions. The methods of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA) were employed. The cyclic voltammogram of NiCu alloy demonstrates the formation of β/β crystallographic forms of the nickel oxyhydroxide under prolonged repetitive potential cycling in alkaline solution. It is also observed that the overpotential for O₂ evolution increases for NiCu alloy modified electrode. In CV studies, NiCu alloy modified electrode yields significantly higher activity for glucose oxidation compared to Ni. The oxidation of glucose was concluded to be catalyzed through mediated electron transfer across the nickel hydroxide layer comprising of nickel ions of various valence states. The anodic peak currents show linear dependency with the square root of scan rate. This behavior is the characteristic of a diffusion-controlled process. Under the CA regime, the reaction followed a Cottrellian behavior, and the diffusion coefficient of glucose was found to be 1 × 10⁻⁵ cm² s⁻¹, in agreement with diffusion coefficient obtained in CV studies.

Preparation of nanostructured Co–Mo alloy electrodes and investigation of their electrocatalytic activity for hydrazine oxidation in alkaline medium

Cobalt and cobalt–molybdenum alloy electrodes are prepared by galvanic deposition on copper substrates. In this paper, we report a study on the influence of alloying cobalt with molybdenum for the oxidation of hydrazine in 1 M NaOH aqueous solutions. The electrocatalytic properties of the electrodes are studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS,) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis demonstrate that the structural features and compositions of the as‐prepared Co–Mo coatings vary with the deposition conditions. Electrochemical characterization indicates that the electrochemical properties and the electrocatalytic activity of the investigated alloys were strongly dependent on the microstructural features obtained under different deposition conditions. The overall experimental data indicate that alloying cobalt with molybdenum metal leads to an increase of the electrocatalytic activity in hydrazine electroxidation compared to when using the pure cobalt electrode. High catalytic efficiencies were achieved on Co/25 at.% Mo and Co/33 at.% Mo electrodes, the latter being the best electrocatalyst for hydrazine electroxidation.

Metal nanowires composed of Fe–Co and Fe–Co–Ni alloys were successfully prepared by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and pulse-reverse (PR) electroplating techniques from acidic metal chloride solutions. The anodic dissolution process in the CVs or in the reverse electroplating period was found to be the key factor influencing the formation of metal nanowires. The addition of nickel into the Fe–Co alloy was found to extend the diameter of these nanowires. The morphology and crystalline information of these alloy deposits prepared by CV and PR deposition techniques were obtained from the field-emission scanning electron microscopic (FE-SEM) photographs and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, respectively.     

Kinetic studies of underpotential deposition of antimony on Se-modified Au electrode

Atomic layers of antimony can be electrodeposited onto the Se monolayer covered Au electrode in the underpotential region. In this paper, the formation and dissolution kinetics of antimony monolayer on the Se monolayer covered Au electrode are investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA) techniques. Scanning-rate-dependent CV experiments reveal that the peak current of underpotential deposition (UPD) wave of antimony is not a linear function of the scanning rate, υ, but scales as υ ^2/3. Similar behavior is observed when the Antimony monolayer is stripped from the modified substrate. These results indicate the character of monolayer formation and dissolution by a two-dimensional nucleation and growth mechanism. Additionally, current density−time transient obtained through CA experiments also reveal that both the deposition and stripping of the antimony monolayer involve an instantaneous nucleation and two-dimensional growth process.

The field emission scanning electron microscopy has been used to analyze the surface morphologies of 1,5-PDAN-coated PGE by CV (PGE/1,5-PDAN(CV)) and CA (PGE/1,5-PDAN(CA)). Electrochemical measurements have been performed to evaluate usability of the electrodes for supercapacitors using CV, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), galvanostatic charge–discharge and repeating chronopotentiometry (RCP) methods in 1.0 M HClO₄. When compared the results of electrochemical measurements, it is concluded that PGE/1,5-PDAN(CA) has higher specific capacitance than PGE/1,5-PDAN(CV). Despite having high specific capacitance, long-term charge–discharge cycling stability of PGE/1,5-PDAN(CA) is lower than that of PGE/1,5-PDAN(CV). Additionally, electrodes exhibit high power and energy density, according to galvanostatic charge–discharge measurements. In conclusion, it can be said that PGE/1,5-PDAN(CV) and PGE/1,5-PDAN(CA) are promising materials for supercapacitor applications.
