Kinetics of Adsorption of Neutral Molecules from a Thin Layer on a Rough Electrode

A theoretical model for the generalized finite adsorption impedance of a rough electrode is offered. A complex function of the roughness of the electrode surface is introduced and its frequency dependence is studied. The frequency characteristics of constituents of the adsorption impedance are shown to depend on the electrode roughness and the diffusion layer thickness. The frequency dependences of the phase angle and impedance components are found to considerably differ from the Frumkin–Melik-Gaikazyan result for an ideal smooth electrode.     

The Influence of Viscosity on Diffusion at the Stationary Electrode

Abstract

The influence of viscosity on diffusion at the stationary electrode is studied. Relations between the maximum electrolysis time attainable without any disturbance by natural convection, the thickness of the diffusion layer and solution viscosity are presented and discussed in the case of constant current electrolysis at shielded electrodes. A re-examination of data existing in literature is made.     

Adsorption of Tri‐n‐Butyl Phosphate (TBP) from NaClO4 Aqueous Solution on Hg Electrode

The adsorption of TBP on Hg electrode from aqueous NaClO₄ media has been studied using differential capacity and chronocoulometric measurements. TBP adsorbs in two steps, the first corresponding to a flat and second to a perpendicular orientation. Both orientations were observed in the entire investigated potential range. The maximal measured surface concentration (Γ_max) of TBP reaches a value of 1.55×10^?10 mol cm^?2, which corresponds to the theoretical value for densely packed molecules in perpendicular orientation. Γ value of the first isotherm step plateau is about 7 to 15% smaller than Γ_max and decreases strongly at potentials more negative than ?0.9 V due to the repelling of negative charges between the electrode and the phosphate group. The standard Gibbs energy of adsorption was found to reach the value of ?34 kJ mol^?1.

Electrode Kinetics and Complex Formation of [Zn‐Antibiotics‐Cephalothin] System vis a vis Kinetics of Electrode Reactions

Charge transfer reactions between a dropping mercury electrode and a [Mn‐antibiotics‐cephalothin] system were studied at pH = 7.30 ± 0.01, μ = 1.0 MNaClO₄ at 298 K. The antibiotics were doxycycline, chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline, tetracycline, minocycline, amoxicillin and chloramphenicol used as primary ligands and cephalothin as secondary ligand formed 1:1:1, 1:1:2 and 1:2:1 complexes with Zn². Electrode kinetics was discussed on the basis of kinetic parameters viz. transfer coefficient (α), degree of irreversibility (λ), diffusion coefficient (D) and rate constant (k). The values of α varied from 0.40 to 0.57 (0.50) confirm that ‘transition state’ behaves between reactant and product response to applied potential and it lies always between d.m.e. and solution interface. A small variation in potential affects the rate and rate constant greatly.

Glucose Electro‐oxidation on Graphite Electrode Modified with Nickel/Chromium Nanoparticles

In this study, an available and inexpensive graphite substrate, was easily modified with Ni/Cr nanoparticles via electrodeposition technique in a very short time (3 min) and used as an electrocatalyst for glucose oxidation in alkaline solution. Graphite electrode modified with Ni/Cr nanoparticles demonstrated an outstanding electrocatalytic performance to glucose oxidation in comparison to examined Ni‐based electrodes or even different materials in other reports. It is noteworthy to mention that adding a little Cr led to a synergistic effect with Ni; accordingly, the presence of Cr not only resulted in a greater adsorption of glucose molecules by chromium oxide but also boosted conductivity of the nickel oxide because of the enhancement of Ni(III) amount. The electrochemical studies were performed by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The morphology and structure of catalyst layer was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive x‐ray spectroscopy (EDS). The linear range of the electrode by cyclic voltammetry was between 2–31 mM with a high sensitivity of 2094 μA cm^?2 mM^?1. The repeatability and reproducibility of the proposed electrode was examined in glucose solution which were 0.3 % and 4.7 %, respectively. According to the low cost, ease and fast preparation, good repeatability and high sensitivity, this electrode can be a good candidate for nonenzymatic glucose oxidation.

Characterization and Use of Copper Solid Amalgam Electrode for Electroanalytical Determination of Triazines‐Based Herbicides

This paper reports the construction, characterization and use of copper solid amalgam electrode in the study of the electrochemical behavior of atrazine and ametryne herbicides by square‐wave voltammetry. This study was used as basis for the development of sensitive analytical methods for the determination of these herbicides in natural water, avoiding the use of mercury, by means of a solid electrode that presents high sensitivity and minimizes any environment contamination with mercury residues. The experimental and voltammetric conditions were evaluated and the results showed a reduction peak for atrazine at ?0.98 and at ?1.1 V vs. Ag/AgCl 3.0 mol L^?1 for ametryne, both with characteristic of an irreversible electrode reaction in an electrochemical diffusion controlled process, involving two electrons for each herbicide reduction. Based on voltammetric studies, it has been demonstrated that the most possible mechanism for the reduction of herbicides involved reduction of bond carbon‐chloride for atrazine and the reduction of bond carbon–SCH₃ for ametryne. The detection limit of herbicides obtained in pure water (laboratory samples) was shown to be lower than the maximum limit of residue established for natural water by the Brazilian Environmental Agency, demonstrating that this methodology is very suitable for determining any contamination by atrazine and ametryne residues in different samples, proving a good substitute for mercury electrodes.     

Diffusion Kinetics at Liquid‐Glassy Polymer Interphases

Summary: We explored the diffusion mechanisms in a series of liquid/glassy polymer interphases. The diffusion experiments were performed in a unique way: the temperature range studied encompassed the glass transition temperature (T_g) of the glassy matrices. We observed that the diffusion behavior of the liquid polymer was remarkably continuous when passing through the matrix T_g, and that the diffusion modes at the liquid/glassy interphases were very similar to those observed in liquid/liquid polymer diffusion.

Diffusion profiles of liquid PS in glassy PPO obtained by confocal Raman spectroscopy. The sample was held at 160 °C for the times indicated in the plot.     

Spillover on a Platinum Electrode Modified by MWNTs

The spillover phenomenon is observed on the platinum (Pt) disk electrode modified by multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). The rate of the spillover of oxygen-containing species produced on Pt surface to and from MWNTs is fast. However for hydrogen-adatoms, the spillover is very weak. The selective spillover on the Pt/MWNTs electrode may provide a novel way to design catalysts.     

铂电极上吡啶吸附及其取向的现场红外反射吸收光谱研究

用电化学和现场红外反射吸收光谱方法研究了Pt电极上吡啶的吸附取向。结果表明,在-0.80～0.80 V(vs SCE)范围内皆存在吡啶吸附,在较负电势下(约-0.80～-0.20 V),吡啶环可能以2种方式吸附于电极表面上,随电势变正(约-0.20～0.80V)由垂直取向向平躺取向转变,该平躺吸附降低了电极表面及其附近水分子结构的有序性。

Application of Nanocrystalline Graphite‐like Pyrolytic Carbon Film Electrode in the Electroanalytical Determination of Famotidine

Direct electro‐oxidation of famotidine at different graphitic carbon‐based electrode materials was evaluated. These materials included conventional electrodes of edge‐plane pyrolytic graphite, basal‐plane pyrolytic graphite, carbon paste, and glassy carbon as well as nano‐structured carbon‐based materials such as pyrolytic carbon film, carbon nanotube, and nano‐graphene. Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were employed to analyze their structural and morphological features. It was found that the pyrolytic carbon film electrode, after a simple and fast anodic activation, shows superior electroanalytical performance. The method was successfully applied for the electroanalytical determination of famotidine in tablet dosage forms and urine samples.     

Voltammetric Determination of 8‐Nitroquinoline Using a Silver Solid Electrode and Its Application to Model Samples of Drinking and River Water

This work is focused on the application of a silver solid electrode (AgE) for the development of modern voltammetric methods for the determination of submicromolar concentrations of biologically active compounds present in the environment. 8‐Nitroquinoline (8‐NQ), a well‐known chemical carcinogen, was chosen as a model substance. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used to study electrochemical behavior of 8‐NQ in different aqueous matrices. The following optimal conditions for determination of 8‐NQ in the concentration ranges from 2 to 100 µmol L^?1 were used: Britton? Robinson (BR) buffer of pH 3.0, the regeneration potentials cycles (E_in=?1000 mV, E_fin=?100 mV) and constant cleaning potential ?2000 mV. Practical applicability of AgE for the determination of micromolar concentrations of 8‐NQ was verified on model samples of drinking and river water.

Voltammetric Determination of Nitronaphthalenes at a Silver Solid Amalgam Electrode

Abstract

Electrodes based on amalgam materials were re-introduced in electroanalytical chemistry in the year 2000, partially as reaction to unsubstantiated public fears of liquid mercury. In this publication, the voltammetric behavior of 1-nitronaphthalene and 2-nitronaphthalene was investigated at a mercury meniscus-modified silver solid amalgam electrode. The reduction mechanism in mixed neutral buffer-methanol medium includes the four-electron reduction to hydroxylaminoderivative followed by a two-electron reduction to the amine in acidic medium, similarly to mercury electrodes. In alkaline media, both compounds show the splitting of the main four-electron reduction peak typical for mercury electrodes in two new ones, the first one corresponding to a one electron reduction of the nitroderivative to the nitro radical anion, which was confirmed by microcoulometry. Using optimized conditions (differential pulse voltammetry, Britton-Robinson buffer pH 7.0 – methanol (9:1) medium) the calibration dependences are linear in the range of 2·10^?7 (4·10^?7) to 1·10^?4 mol L^?1 for 1-nitronaphthalene (2-nitronaphthalene). After preconcentration of the analytes from drinking and river water samples using solid phase extraction the limit of determination was lowered to ～3·10^?8 mol L^?1.
