Direct electrochemistry of myoglobin in a room temperature ionic liquid aqueous solution and its catalysis to H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript>

Using 1-ethyl-2-methylimidazolium trifluoroacetate (EMImTfa) as the supporting electrolyte, a couple of well-defined and reversible redox peaks of Myb could be observed at the basal plane graphite (BPG) electrode through direct electron transfer between the protein and the BPG electrode, whose anodic and cathodic peak potentials were at −0.098 V and −0.144 V vs. Ag | AgCl, respectively. Both anodic and cathodic peak currents increased linearly with the potential scan rates. Compared with the supporting electrolyte of phosphate buffer solution, EMImTfa played an important role for the direct electron transfer between Myb and the BPG electrode. Further investigation suggested that Myb was adsorbed tightly on the surface of the BPG electrode in the presence of EMImTfa to form a stable, approximate monolayer Myb film. Myb adsorbed on the BPG electrode surface could retain its biological activity and showed a remarkable electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of H₂O₂ in an EMImTfa aqueous solution. Based on these, a third-generation biosensor could be constructed to directly detect the concentration of H₂O₂ in EMImTfa aqueous solution with a limit of detection of 3.24 × 10⁻⁸ M.

Measurement and modeling of osmotic coefficients of aqueous solution of ionic liquids using vapor pressure osmometry method

Osmotic coefficients of binary mixtures containing an ionic liquid, (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, [BMIm]BF₄, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate, [EMIm]ES, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate, [BMIm]MS) with water were measured until about 3 molal concentrations using vapor pressure osmometry method (VPO) at temperature ranges 298.15–328.15 K and modeled using different electrolyte excess Gibbs free energy models including electrolyte non-random two liquids (NRTL), modified NRTL (MNRTL), mean spherical approximation NRTL (MSA-NRTL), non random factor (NRF), and extended Wilson models. The results show that osmotic coefficient data increase with increasing temperature. The calculated standard deviations of the studied systems show that the applicability of these models for the correlation of VLE properties of ionic liquid solutions. The average standard deviations for the models have the order σ(?) MNRTL < σ(?) Wilson < σ(?) NRTL < σ(?) MSA-NRTL < σ(?)NRF. The results show MNRTL model is able to reproduce experimental osmotic coefficients of aqueous solution of studied ionic liquids with good precision.     

Mg-ion conducting gel polymer electrolyte membranes containing biodegradable chitosan: Preparation,structural, electrical and electrochemical properties

A biodegradable gel polymer electrolyte system based on chitosan/magnesium trifluoromethanesulfonate/1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (CA/Mg (Tf)₂/EMITf) is developed. The structure, thermal performance, mechanical properties, ionic conductivity, relaxation time, electrochemical stability and ionic transport number of the membranes are analyzed by various techniques. The ion migration mainly depends on the complexation and decomplexation of Mg²⁺ with amine band (NH₂) in chitosan. The 90CA-10Mg (Tf)₂ system plasticized with 10% EMITf (relative to the amount of 90CA-10Mg (Tf)₂) is identified as the optimum one and the temperature dependence of ionic conductivity obeys the Arrhenius rule. Moreover, the relaxation time of the electrolyte is very short, being just 1.25 × 10⁻⁶ s, and its electrochemical stability window is quite wide, being up to 4.15 V. The anodic oxidation and cathodic reduction of Mg at the Mg-electrode/electrolyte interface is facile, and the ionic transference number of this electrolyte is 0.985, indicating that it could be a potential electrolyte candidate for Mg-ion devices.

⁹⁰Y was separated from ⁹⁰Sr using an extraction chromatographic resin consisting of 4, 4′(5′)-bis-t-butylcyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DtBuCH₁₈C₆), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) amide (C₂mimNTf₂), and a polymer (Amberlite XAD-7). Ionic liquid was introduced into the column to improve the separation efficiency. The column showed an excellent performance for the separation of Y from Sr. After the separation, the ratio of ⁹⁰Sr/⁹⁰Y was <2.0 × 10^?5; the column was recycled for >18 times. This study provides preliminary results on columns to produce ⁹⁰Y with a high purity in radiopharmaceuticals.     

EQCM Study of Iridium Anodic Oxidation in H2SO4 and KOH Solutions

In the present study anodic oxidation of iridium layer formed thermally on a gold‐sputtered quartz crystal electrode has been investigated by electrochemical quartz crystal microgravimetry (EQCM) in the solutions of 0.5 M H₂SO₄ and 0.1 M KOH. The emphasis here has been put on the microgravimetric behavior of iridium as a metal, because a few previous EQCM studies reported in literature have been devoted to iridium oxide films (IROFs). The objective pursued here has been to elucidate the nature of the main voltammetric peaks, which occur at different ranges of potential in the solutions investigated. It has been found that anodic oxidation of iridium electrode in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ and 0.1 M KOH solutions is accompanied by irregular fluctuations of the electrode mass at 0.4 V<E<0.8 V followed by regular increase in mass at 0.8 V<E<1.2 V. The cathodic process initially, at 1.2 V>E>0.9 V, proceeds without any or with slight increase in electrode mass, whereas at E<0.8 V a regular decrease in mass is observed. It has been found that mass to charge ratio characterizing the processes of interest is 2 to 3 g F^?1in acidic medium, whereas in the case of alkaline one it is 4 to 6 g F^?1. The main pair of peaks seen in the voltammograms of Ir electrode in alkaline medium at E<0.8 V is attributable to redox transition Ir(0)→Ir(III), whereas those observed in the case of acidic medium at E>0.8 V should be related to the redox process Ir(0)→Ir(IV) going via intermediate stage of Ir(III) formation. As a consequence of these redox transitions, the gel‐like surface layer consisting of Ir(III) or Ir(IV) hydrous oxides forms on the electrode surface.     

Hydrogen diffusivity in the massive LaNi5 electrode using voltammetry technique

The Randles–Sev?ik relationship has been applied to evaluate atomic hydrogen diffusivity in massive LaNi₅ intermetallic compound. The electrode was cathodically hydrogenated in 6 M KOH solution (22 °C), and then voltammetry measurements were carried out at various, very slow potential scan rates (υ?=?0.01–0.1 mV?·?s^?1). At potentials more noble than the equilibrium potential of the H₂O/H₂ system, the anodic peaks were registered as a consequence of oxidation of hydrogen absorbed in cathodic range. The peak potentials linearly increase with the logarithm of the scan rate with a slope of 0.059 V. The slope testifies to a symmetric charge transfer process with symmetry factor α?=?½. The peak currents linearly increase with the square root of the potential scan rate, and the straight line runs through the origin of the coordinate system. The slope of the I _a ^(peak) ?=?f(υ ^1/2) straight line is a measure of the atomic hydrogen diffusion coefficient. Assuming the hydrogen concentration in the LaNi₅ material after cathodic exposure to be C _0,H?=?0.071 mol?·?cm^?3 (63 % of theoretical value), the hydrogen diffusion coefficient equals D _H?=?2.0?·?10^?9 cm²s^?1. Extrapolation of rectilinear segments of potentiodynamic polarization curves with Tafel slopes of 0.12 V and linear polarization dependencies from voltammetry tests allowed the exchange current densities of the H₂O/H₂ system on the tested material to be determined. The exchange current densities on initially hydrogenated LaNi₅ alloy are close to 1 mA?·?cm^?2, irrespective of the electrode potential scan rate.     

Electrochemical Polymerization of Methylene Green

The electrochemical polymerization of methylene green has been carried out using cyclic voltammetry. The electrolytic solution consisted of 4° 10^?3 mol/L methylene green, 0.1 mol/L NaNO₃ and 1 × 10^?2 mol/L sodium tetraborate with pH 11.0. The temperature for polymerization is controlled at 60°C. The scan potential is set between ?0.2 and 1.2 V (vs. Ag/AgCl with saturated KCl solution). There are an anodic peak and a cathodic peak on the cyclic voltammogram of poly (methylene green) at pH≤3.8. Both peak potentials shift towards negative potentials with increasing pH value, and their peak currents decrease with increasing pH value. Poly (methylene green) has a good electrochemical activity and stability in aqueous solutions with pH≤3.8. The UV‐Visible spectrum and FTIR spectrum of poly (methylene green) are different from those of methylene green.     

CrIII-Phthalocyaninate: Darstellung und spektroskopische Eigenschaften von Di(halogeno)phthalocyaninatochromaten(III)

Cr^III Phthalocyaninates: Synthesis and Spectroscopical Properties of Di(halo)phthalocyaninato(2 –)chromates(III) [Cr(H₂O)₂Pc^2?]⁺ reacts in acetone with (ⁿBu₄N)X to yield less soluble tetra(n-butyl)ammonium di(halo)phthalocyaninato(2 –)chromate(III), (ⁿBu₄N)[Cr(X)₂Pc^2?] (X = F, Cl, Br, I). In the differential pulse voltammograms the first ring oxidation is observed at 0,80 V, the ring reduction at ?1,48 V and the metal reduction (Cr(III)/Cr(II)) at ?0,80 V (averaged potentials). The last is followed by a partial dissociation of one of the halo ligands. In the UV-VIS-NIR spectra there are three weakly absorbing spin-allowed trip-quarter(TQ) transitions (TQ1 (8,4) < TQ2 (11,5) < TQ3 (20,6); averaged values (av) in 10³ cm^?1), a (Pc + X)-CrCT transition (31,3; av in 10³ cm^?1) and the characteristic π-π* transitions of the Pc^2? ligand (B (14,5) < Q₁ (24,5) < Q₂ (29,2) < N (36,0) < L (41,0); av in 10³ cm^?1). Q₁ and (Pc + X)-CrCT depend strongly on the halo ligands. Prominent luminescence spectra are obtained by excitation within the TQ1 region, in which the spin-forbidden trip-sextet transition (8330 (X = F), 7680 (Cl), 7460 (Br) 7450 cm^?1 (I)) dominates at low temperatures (T < 50 K). The vibrational spectra are discussed. In coincidence of the excitation lines with TQ3, v_s(Cr? X) at 458 (X = F) < 246 (Cl) < 157 (Br) < 107 cm^?1 ( I ) is selectively resonance Raman enhanced. v_as(Cr? X) is observed in the FIR spectrum at 522 (X = F) < 283/326 (Cl) < 227 (Br) < 205 cm^?1 ( I ).     

Interfering influence of silver on the voltammetric behaviour of Cd2+ and Zn2+ ions on hmde in supporting electrolytes containing nitrates

A new kind of secondarily formed peaks was found in cyclic and stripping voltammetry in neutral sulphate, perchlorate and nitrate supporting electrolytes containing some divalent cations and a substance (for example O₂), the reduction of which gives as a by-product OH^? ions. The hydroxides deposited in the vicinity of the mercury electrode, in the course of a cathodic scan, react during the anodic scan according to the reaction Hg+Me(OH)₂=Hg(OH)₂+Me²⁺+2e forming a new, separate anodic peak.It was found that silver exerts a catalytic effect on the reduction of NO₃^? ions on the mercury electrode. In neutral nitrate supporting electrolyte containing Ag⁺ ions the hydroxides of some cations (Cd²⁺, Zn²⁺, Mn²⁺, Co²⁺ and Ni²⁺) were deposited during the cathodic scan or during the preelectrolysis. Afterwards, in the course of the anodic scan, a new peak, of the kind described above, was observed. The same effect was formerly interpreted, for Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺, as evidence for the formation of intermetallic compounds, AgZn and AgCd.     

Electrochemical behaviour of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) in a room-temperature ionic liquid

The cyclic voltammetry responses and the redox switching dynamics of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) in a room-temperature ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)amide (EMImTf₂N), were investigated. The shape of the cyclic voltammograms showed two anodic and two cathodic peaks. These peak currents varied linearly with the scan rate indicating a thin-layer behaviour. No memory effects were observed during the cyclic voltammetry experiments in this ionic liquid. On the other hand, the redox switching dynamics of PEDOT were studied by means of potential step experiments. The analysis of chronocoulograms in term of RC-circuits indicated that the time dependence of the charge transferred during the potential step showed two time constants. These results were consistent with the postulated structure or morphology of the PEDOT film which contained two types of coexisting zones: a compact and an open structures.     

Ultrasensitive Determination of Vitamin B12 Using Disposable Graphite Screen‐Printed Electrodes and Anodic Adsorptive Voltammetry

A facile, rapid and ultra‐sensitive method for the determination of vitamin B₁₂ (cyanocobalamin) at the sub‐nanomolar concentration range by using low‐cost, disposable graphite screen‐printed electrodes is described. The method is based on the cathodic preconcentration of square planar vitamin B_12s, as occurred due to the electro reduction of Co(III) center in vitamin B_12a to Co(I), at ?1.3 V versus Ag/AgCl/3 M KCl for 40 s. Then, an anodic square wave scan was applied and the height of the peak appeared at ca. ?0.73 V versus Ag/AgCl/3 M KCl, due to the oxidation of Co(I) to Co(II) in the adsorbed molecule, was related to the concentration of the vitamin B₁₂ in the sample. EDTA was found to serve as a key‐component of the electrolyte by eliminating the background signal caused by metal cations impurities contained in the electrolyte (0.1 M phosphate buffer in 0.1 M KCl, pH 3). It also blocks trace metals contained in real samples, thus eliminating their interference effect. The method was optimized to various working parameters and under the selected conditions the calibration curve was linear over the range 1×10^?10–8×10^?9 mol L^?1 vitamin B₁₂ (R²=0.994), while the limit of detection for a signal‐to‐noise ratio of 3 (7×10^?11 mol L^?1 vitamin B₁₂) is the lowest value of any reported in the literature for the electrochemical determination of vitamin B₁₂. The sensors were successfully applied to the determination of vitamin B₁₂ in pharmaceutical products.     

An in situ STM and DTS study of the extremely pure [EMIM]FAP/Au(111) interface

Herein the structure of the interfacial layer between the air- and water-stable ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate ([EMIM]FAP) and Au(111) is investigated using in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), distance tunneling spectroscopy (DTS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. The in situ STM measurements reveal that structured interfacial layers can be probed in both cathodic and anodic regimes at the IL/Au(111) interface. The structure of these layers is dependent on the applied electrode potential, the number of subsequent STM scans and the scan rate. Furthermore, first DTS results show that the tunneling barrier during the 1st STM scan does not seem to change significantly in the cathodic potential regime between the ocp (-0.2 V) and -2.0 V.     

Polarographic determination of glycine with a dropping copper amalgam electrode

The anodic oxidation of a dropping copper amalgam electrode in presence of dilute solutions of glycine in 0.50 M NaClO₄ has been studied. An anodic wave at ?0.28V (SCE) is observed, yielded by diffusion of glycinate anion in the solution towards the electrode surface. The wave-heights increase with the glycinate concentration (function of glycine concentration and pH value) until the anodic oxidation is controlled by the metal diffusion into mercury. The effect of pH is interpreted by attributing it to the depolarizer effects at glycinate anion even though the zwitterion is present in much larger concentrations. The applicability of anodic oxidation of a dropping copper amalgam electrode in the determination of glycine in the range of concentrations 10^?4–10^?2M with a rigorous control of pH (8.0<pH<10.5) is shown. The standard deviation of the proposed method is 4.1% and the minimum concentration determinable is in the 1×10^?4M range.     

Effect of polarization on the electrode behavior and microstructure of (La,Sr)MnO<Subscript>3</Subscript> electrodes of solid oxide fuel cells

The electrode behavior and microstructure of freshly prepared (La_0.8Sr_0.2)_0.9MnO₃ (LSM) electrodes were investigated under various polarization conditions. The original, large agglomerates in freshly prepared LSM electrodes were broken down into sphere-shaped grains when exposed to cathodic or anodic current passage of 200 mA cm^–2 at 800 °C in air for 3 h. Microstructural changes under cathodic polarization could be related to the pronounced diffusion and migration of oxygen vacancies and Mn ions on the LSM surface and lattice expansion, while lattice shrinkage under oxidation conditions most likely contributes to the structural changes under anodic polarization. Such morphological changes were irreversible and were found to be beneficial to the performance of freshly prepared LSM electrodes. Freshly prepared LSM electrodes behaved very differently with respect to the cathodic and anodic current passage treatment.     

Non-aqueous vanadium acetylacetonate electrolyte for redox flow batteries

The electrochemistry of a single-component redox flow battery employing vanadium(III) acetylacetonate in acetonitrile and tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate has been investigated. The electrode kinetics of the anodic and cathodic reactions were studied using cyclic voltammetry. The V(II)/V(III) and V(III)/V(IV) couples were quasi-reversible and together yielded a cell potential of 2.2 V. The diffusion coefficient for vanadium acetylacetonate was estimated to be in the range of 1.8–2.9 × 10^?6 cm² s^?1 at room temperature. The charge–discharge characteristics of this system were evaluated in an H-type glass cell, and coulombic efficiencies near 50% were achieved.     

Li-NMR study of the stoichiometry, stability and exchange kinetics of Li ion with 12-Crown-4, 15-Crown-5 and cryptands C222, C221 and C211 in 50% ionic liquid-acetonitrile mixtures

⁷Li-NMR spectroscopy was used to study the complexation of Li⁺ ion with 12C4, 15C5, C222, C221, C211 in acetonitrile (AN) and its 50% (wt/wt) mixtures with two new room temperature ionic liquids, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (EMim PF₆) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMim BF₄) at 298 K. Excluding the cases of Li⁺-C211 in all solvents and Li⁺-C221 in AN and 50% (wt/wt) AN-EMim PF₆, in other cases, the exchange between free and 1:1 complexed Li⁺ was fast on the NMR time scale and only a single population average ⁷Li signal was observed. Formation constants of the resulting 1:1 complexes were evaluated by computer fitting of the chemical shift-mole ratio data and integration of two ⁷Li signals. All complexes in EMim PF₆ were found to be more stable than those in EMim BF₄. ⁷Li-NMR line-shape analysis was used to determine the kinetic parameters and the mechanism for the chemical exchange of Li⁺ between the free and 1:1 complex with C221 in 50% (wt/wt) AN-EMim PF₆ mixtures solution. By comparing our study with the previous one, it is derived that, increasing the percentage of ion liquid in acetonitrile, changes the mechanism and decrease the exchange rate constant of Li⁺ ion between free and complex sites.     

Liquid–liquid miscibility and volumetric properties of aqueous solutions of ionic liquids as a function of temperature

The volumetric properties of seven {water + ionic liquid} binary mixtures have been studied as a function of temperature from (293 to 343) K. The phase behaviour of the systems was first investigated using a nephelometric method and excess molar volumes were calculated from densities measured using an Anton Paar densimeter and fitted using a Redlich–Kister type equation. Two ionic liquids fully miscible with water (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C₁C₄Im][BF₄]) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate ([C₁C₂Im][EtSO₄])) and five ionic liquids only partially miscible with water (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C₁C₂Im][NTf₂]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C₁C₄Im][NTf₂]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C₁C₄Im][PF₆]), 1-butyl-3-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C₁C₄Pyrro][NTf₂]), and butyltrimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([N₄₁₁₁][NTf₂])) were chosen. Small excess volumes (less than 0.5 cm³ · mol^?1 at 298 K) are obtained compared with the molar volumes of the pure components (less than 0.3% of the molar volume of the pure ionic liquid). For all the considered systems, except for {[C₁C₂Im][EtSO₄] + water}, positive excess molar volumes were calculated. Finally, an increase of the non-ideality character is observed for all the systems as temperature increases.     

The determination of some 2-thiobarbiturates by cathodic stripping voltammetry

Pulse polarography and cyclic voltammetry are employed in studies of the electrochemical behaviour of 5-ethyl-5'-(l-methylbutyl)-2-thiobarbituric acid (I), l-methyl-5-ethyl-5'-(l-methylpropyl)-2-thiobarbituric acid (II) and l,3-dimethyl-5-ethyl-5'-p-chlorophenyl)-2-thiobarbituric acid (III) in the pH range 4–12. All three compounds show anodic and cathodic waves or peaks in this pH range. Compounds (I) and (II) are oxidized at mercury indicator electrodes to produce mercury salts which can adsorb thereon and are thus amenable to cathodic stripping voltammetric analysis (c.s.v.) down to concentrations of the order of 10^-6 M, which is superior to the sensitivities obtained by differential pulse polarography (d.p.p.) based on a reduction peak. Compound (III) oxidizes to produce sulphur which is subsequently plated as HgS. Again the sensitivity of the c.s.v. method is of the order of lO^-6 M and analytically superior to d.p.p. The optimum pH for the three determinations is 8. The determination of (II) in the presence of its oxygenated analogue and metabolite, phemitone, and the effect of chloride ions are reported.     

Differential Pulse Polarography for a First‐Order EC Process and Its Diagnostic Parameters

Theoretical expressions for differential pulse polarography (DPP) for a reversible electron transfer coupled with an irreversible follow‐up first‐order chemical reaction (E_rC_i) is derived approximately. The peaks as given by the current expressions are analyzed in terms of several parameters such as a ratio of anodic‐to‐cathodic peak‐currents (i_p^a/i_p^c), a separation of peak‐potentials (E_p^c?E_p^a), and a ratio of anodic‐to‐cathodic half‐peak‐widths (W_1/2^a/W_1/2^c) in order to characterize the E_rC_i process and distinguish it from other types of electrode processes. The anodic peak is found to be more susceptible to the post kinetics than the cathodic peak. The new parameter of W_1/2^a/W_1/2^c ratio is much more sensitive to the post kinetics than the peak separation (E_p^c?E_p^a). The peak current ratio (i_p^a/i_p^c) and the peak‐width ratio (W_1/2^a/W_1/2^c) have comparable sensitivities to the kinetics. Hence, W_1/2^a/W_1/2^c ratio is a better diagnostic parameters than (E_p^c?E_p^a) which has a poor sensitivity. This phenomenon is different from cyclic voltammetry (CV) in which E_p^c?E_p^a is as sensitive as i_p^a/i_p^c. The new criteria for EC with DPV is tested and successfully applied to several Co(III) complex systems, including coenzyme B₁₂. The homogeneous rate constant (k) for the follow‐up step is estimated from the measurements of the experimental values of the parameters. The present treatment is valid quantitatively at lower values of k, yielding relatively larger errors for higher k values (k>10 s^?1).     

Chemical Speciation of Antimony(III and V) in Water by Adsorptive Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry Using the 4‐(2‐Thiazolylazo) – Resorcinol

A simple adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry method has been developed for antimony (III and V) speciation using 4‐(2‐thiazolylazo) – resorcinol (TAR). The methodology involves controlled preconcentration at pH 5, during which antimony(III) – TAR complex is adsorbed onto a hanging mercury drop electrode followed by measuring the cathodic peak current (I_p,c) at ?0.39 V versus Ag/AgCl electrode. The plot of I_p,c versus antimony(III) concentration was linear in the range 1.35×10^?9–9.53×10^?8 mol L^?1.The LOD and LOQ for Sb(III) were found 4.06×10^?10 and 1.35×10^?9 mol L^?1, respectively. Antimony(V) species after reduction to antimony(III) with Na₂SO₃ were also determined. Analysis of antimony in environment water samples was applied satisfactorily.
