The Deactivation of Nickel Hydroxide to Hypophosphite Electrooxidation on a Nickel Electrode

The deactivation of nickel hydroxide to the electrooxidation of hypophosphite on a nickel electrode was studied by means of in situ UV-Vis subtractive reflectance spectroscopy. The experimental results show that when the potential is lower than -1.0 V (SCE), the surface on nickel electrode is free of nickel hydroxide, on which hypophosphite is active. When the potential moves positively to about 0.75V, two absorbency bands around 300nm and 550nm, which were ascribed to the formation of α-nickel hydroxide, were observed, nickel is oxidized to α-nickel hydroxide. Severe deactivation of the surface occurs when the nickel surface is covered with nickel hydroxide, which separates the hypophosphite ion from nickel substrate.

Electrochemical Behavior of Hydrogen Peroxide at a Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with Nickel Hydroxide–Decorated Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract

The multiwalled carbon nanotube–nickel hydroxide composite film used to modify glassy carbon electrode was prepared and confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The process and mechanism of film formation were discussed in detail. The electrode modified with the composite film exhibited good catalytic activity toward electrochemical oxidation of hydrogen peroxide in 0.1 mol/L sodium hydroxide solution. Various factors affecting the electrocatalytic activity of nickel hydroxide film were investigated. The anodic peak current increased with the increased concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The linear range for the determination of hydrogen peroxide was from 1.5 × 10^?6 mol/L to 2.5 × 10^?3 mol/L with the detection limit 6.1 × 10^?7 mol/L (S/N = 3). And the proposed method was applied to the determination of hydrogen peroxide in disinfector with higher sensitivity and lower detection limit.

Adsorptive Voltammetric Study of Thorium–Alizarin Complexon Complex at a Carbon Paste Electrode

A new sensitive adsorptive voltammetric procedure is described for trace measurement of thorium. It is based on the cathodic stripping peak of the thorium–alizarin complexon (ALC) complex at a carbon paste electrode (CPE). The complex of Th(IV) with alizarin is adsorbed at a CPE in a mixed buffer solution (pH 5.0) which consists of 0.1mol·L^–1 sodium acetate and 0.04mol·L^–1 potassium biphthalate, yielding a sensitive cathodic voltammetric peak corresponding to the reduction of alizarin in the complex at –0.57V (vs. SCE). The second-order derivative peak current of the complex is linearly dependent upon the concentration of Th(IV) over the range of 3.0×10^–9 8.0×10^–7mol·L^–1. The detection limit is 1.0×10^–9mol·L^–1 for 180s accumulation. The molar ratio of each component in the complex was estimated as n_Th(IV):n_ALC=1:1 by a continuous variation method. The electrode processes of the Th(IV)–alizarin complex at a CPE were investigated. The procedure was successfully applied to the trace determination of thorium in ore and clay samples.

Studies on the Adsorption and Dissociation of Methane and Carbon Dioxide on Nickel Catalysts

The adsorption and dissociation of methane and carbon dioxide for reforming on nickel catalysts were extensively investigated by TPSR, TPD, XPS and pulse reaction methods. These studies showed that the decomposition of methane results in the formation of at least three kinds of surface carbon species on supported nickel catalysts. Carbidic Cα, carbonaceous Cβ and carbidic clusters C-γ surface carbon species formed by the decomposition of methane demonstrated different surface mobility, thermal stability and reactivity. Carbidic Cα is a very active and important intermediate in carbon dioxide reforming with methane, and the carbidic clusters Cγ species might be the precursor of surface carbon deposition. The partially dehydrogenated Cβ species can react with H2 or CO2 to form CH4 or CO. On the other hand, it was proven that CO2 can be weakly adsorbed on supported nickel catalysts, and only one kind of CO2 adsorption state is formed. The interaction mechanism between the species dissociated from CH4     

Immobilization of Horseradish Peroxidase on a Biocompatible Titania Layer–Modified Gold Electrode for the Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide

Abstract

A procedure for fabricating an enzyme electrode has been described based on the effective immobilization of horseradish peroxidase to an ultrathin titania layer–modified self‐assembled gold electrode. The resulting electrode exhibits excellent electrocatalytical activity to hydrogen peroxide in the presence of hydroquinone as a mediator. The analytical conditions were studied in detail by using an amperometric method. Under the optimized conditions, a detection limit of 7.1×10^?7 mol l^?1 and a linear response to hydrogen peroxide that ranged from 1×10^?6 mol l^?1 to 7.6×10^?4 mol l^?1 were obtained. The reproducibility and stability were examined with satisfactory results.

Electrochemical Detection of Epinephrine Based on a Screen-printed Electrode Modified with NiO−ERGO Nanocomposite Film

This study presents a new electrochemical sensor (NiO−ERGO/SPE) for sensitive and selective detection of epinephrine (EPI) on the screen-printed electrode (SPE) which is modified with a nanocomposite film consisting of electrochemically reduced graphene oxide and NiO nanoparticles. After surface functionalization, structural and electrochemical characterization of NiO−ERGO film, DPV signals of NiO−ERGO/SPE towards the oxidation of EPI exhibited a linear correlation in the concentration range of 0.025 μM to 175 μM with a detection limit of 0.015 μM, which reveals NiO−ERGO film is manifested a good electrocatalytic activity for EPI detection compared with the previous reports. The selectivity of NiO−ERGO film was also tested on a very wide scale of possible interferents (ascorbic acid, uric acid, dopamine, lactic acid, phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, and Zn²⁺). Moreover, to evaluate the applicability of the proposed sensor for real sample analysis, NiO−ERGO/SPE was successfully utilized for the determination of EPI in pharmaceutical samples.     

Study on the Reaction Mechanism for Carbon Dioxide Reforming of Methane over supported Nickel Catalyst

The adsorption and dissociation of methane and carbon dioxide for reforming on nickel catalyst were extensively investigated by TPSR and TPD experiments. It showed that the decomposition of methane results in the formation of at least three kinds of surface carbon species on supported nickel catalyst, while CO2 adsorbed on the catalyst weakly and only existed in one kind of adsorption state. Then the mechanism of interaction between the species dissociated from CH4 and CO2 during reforming was proposed.

Simple, sensitive, accurate and inexpensive differential pulse (DPV) and square wave (SWV) voltammetric methods utilizing zeolite modified carbon paste electrode (ZMCPE) were developed for the determination of Oxymetazoline hydrochloride (OXM) in nasal drops. Various experimental parameters were optimized using cyclic voltammetry (CV). Calibration curves were linear over the concentration ranges 9.8×10⁻⁸–3.6×10⁻⁶ M and 9.8×10⁻⁶–9×10⁻⁵ M for DPV and SWV, respectively. The DPV method showed a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.04×10⁻⁷ M. The method was applied for the determination of OXM in pharmaceutical formulation with an average recovery of 101.18 % (%RSD=0.41, n=9).     

Anodic Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Mercury in Water Using a Chitosan‐Modified Carbon Paste Electrode

Abstract

This paper describes the preparation and electrochemical application of a modified carbon paste electrode with chitosan for the determination of Hg(II) ions in water using anodic stripping voltammetry. Experimental parameters, including the pH of the supporting electrolyte, time and potential of accumulation and scan rate were investigated. The best voltammetric response was observed for a paste composition of 60% (m/m) of graphite powder, 20% (m/m) of chitosan and 20% (m/m) of mineral oil, with 0.1 mol/l NaNO₃ solution at pH 6.3 as supporting electrolyte, a preconcentration potential of ?0.2 V, preconcentration time of 270 s and a scan rate of 25 mV/s. Under these optimal experimental conditions, the voltammetric signals were linearly dependent on the Hg(II) concentration in the range of 9.99×10^?7 to 3.85×10^?5 mol/l with a detection limit of 6.28×10^?7 mol/l. Three “spiked” samples of water were evaluated using the proposed sensor, and results agreed with those obtained by a reference method at the 95% confidence level.
