Polynuclear mixed‐valent nickel oxide and nickel hexacyanoferrate hybrid film was prepared on glassy carbon electrode by multiple scan cyclic voltammetry. The film growth was monitored using electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). The cyclic voltammogram of the nickel hexacyanoferrate film is characterized by single redox couple whereas nickel oxide/nickel hexacyanoferrate hybrid film exhibits two redox couples.

Electrochemical characteristics of thin nickel hexacyanoferrate films formed on gold and thiol self-assembled monolayers modified gold electrodes.

Nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) film was prepared and characterized on gold and thiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs)-modified gold electrodes. It was found that the film exhibited some different electrochemical characteristics compared with that found on a carbon electrode. In the presence of K+, the film exhibited a redox peak at about 0.5 V. The peak potential shifted linearly with the K+ concentration over the range of about 0.1 mM - 0.1 M with slopes of 54 - 60 mV per log[K+]. However, in solutions containing Na+, Li+ or NH4+ ion the film did not generate well-defined peaks, or even a visible redox peak. Therefore, the film showed a selective potential response to K+. The voltammetric behavior of NiHCF film varied with thiols, the preparation procedure and the solution pH. Under certain conditions, the characteristics of the film could be improved to some extent.

Carbon paste electrodes were modified with a nitrofluorenone derivative, 2,4,7-trinitro-9-fluorenone, adsorbed on zirconium phosphate (ZP).
