Electrocatalytic Reduction of Nitrite Using a Carbon Nanotube Electrode in the Presence of Cupric Ions

A simple, inexpensive method for determining nitrite is presented. With a carbon nanotube modified glass carbon electrode (GC), the overpotential for reduction of nitrite decreased, and direct reduction could be achieved in acid solution. Sensitivity, however, was not very high. When cupric ions were added to the solution, the reduction peak current increased significantly, and in particular the presence of multiple nitrate did not interfere. Experimental conditions were optimized, and preliminary studies were performed on the electrochemical mechanism of nitrite reduction in the presence of cupric ions on the carbon nanotube modified electrode. Under optimized conditions, the peak current of reduction achieved with the differential pulse voltammetric method was proportional to the concentration of nitrite in the ranges of 2.0×10^–6–1.0×thinsp;10^–5molL^–1 and 2.0×10^–5–1.0×10^–3molL^–1. The detection limit reached 5.0×10^–7molL^–1, and most of the inorganic ions did not interfere. The determination of nitrite in samples of rain water and river water was satisfactory.     

Fe-Doped CoS2 Nanoarrays: Efficient Electrocatalytic Nitrate Reduction to Ammonia under Ambient Conditions

The electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NO₃⁻RR) enables the reduction of nitrate to ammonium ions under ambient conditions. It was considered as an alternative reaction for the production of ammonia (NH₃) in recent years. In this paper, we report that the Fe doping CoS₂ nanoarrays can effectively catalyze the formation of NH₃ from nitrate (NO₃⁻) under ambient conditions. This is mainly due to the increase of the NO₃⁻ reaction active site by Fe doping and the porous nanostructure of the catalyst, which greatly improves the catalytic activity. Specifically, at −0.9 V vs. RHE, the NH₃ yield rate (R_NH3) of Fe−CoS₂/CC is 17.8×10⁻² mmol h⁻¹ cm⁻² with Faraday Efficiency (FE) of 88.93 %. Besides, such catalyst shows good durability and catalytic stability, which provides the possibility for the future application of electrocatalytic NH₃ production.     

Flow Injection Biamperometric Determination of Nitrite and Nitrate

Abstract

A simple and efficient FIA method was used with good results to determine nitrite in residual waters and nitrate in natural waters. Nitrite determination is based on the reaction with iodide occurring in acidic medium and biamperometric detection of the formed iodine at two platinum electrodes polarised at a potential of 100 mV. Nitrate is similarly determined after its previous reduction to nitrite in a cadmium column. The method does not need the solution deaeration. However, the calibration graphs present two regions of linearity owing to the catalytic effect of the dissolved oxygen on the iodide oxidation by nitrite.

Electrocatalytic Properties and Voltammetric Determination of Melatonin at a Nanostructured Film Electrode

A multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) film coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was fabricated, and the electrochemical behavior of melatonin on the MWNT film coated GCE was investigated. The oxidation peak current of melatonin increases significantly and the oxidation peak position shifts positively at the MWNT film modified GCE compared to that at a bare GCE. This indicates that MWNTs feature highly effective catalysis to the electrochemical oxidation of melatonin. A simple and sensitive electroanalytical method was developed for the determination of melatonin. The oxidation peak current is proportional to the concentration of melatonin from 8×10^–8 to 1×10^–5molL^–1. The detection limit is about 2×10^–8molL^–1 for 3min accumulation. The proposed method was demonstrated to work satisfactorily with commercial capsules.

Assemble-Electrodeposited Ultrathin Conducting Poly(Azure A) at a Carbon Nanotube-Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode, and its Electrocatalytic Properties to the Reduction of Nitrite

A new type of ultrathin conducting polymer/carbon nanotubes (UCP/CNTs) nanomaterials with high catalytic surface area was proposed in this work. The electrode covered with an ultrathin layer of poly(azure A)/carbon nanotubes nanomaterials was fabricated by two steps: firstly, the single-wall carbon nanotubes (SCNTs) modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode was immersed in an azure A solution to assemble a thin azure A monomer film. Secondly, the assembled AA was electropolymerized in a phosphate buffer solution by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The electrocatalytic activity of the obtained ultrathin conducting poly(azure A)/carbon nanotubes (UCPAA/CNTs) nanomaterials was tested using sodium nitrite. The results showed thus prepared electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic behavior to the reduction of nitrite and facilitates the detection of nitrite at an applied reduction peak potential of 0.1 V. A linear range from 3.0 μM to 4.5 mM for the detection of sodium nitrite has been observed with fast response (within 3 s) and a detection limit of 1.0 μM based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 3.     

Lignosulfonate‐Modified Electrode for Electrocatalytic Reduction of Acidic Nitrite

Sodium lignosulfonate (LS) undergoes oxidative electropolymerization on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode from sulfuric acid solution to form a chemically modified electrode exhibiting anionic character and redox activity. Cyclic voltammetry reveals the existence of two redox systems at E°′ values of +0.29 and +0.53 V, respectively. Peak currents are proportional to the scan rate as expected for surface confined systems. The GC|poly‐LS electrode shows electrocatalytic activity toward the reduction of acidic nitrite. When operating in a constant potential amperometric mode (at 0.0 V, vs. Ag/AgCl), a linear relationship between nitrite concentration and reduction current is observed over the range of 1 to 250 μM. The detection limit reaches 0.3 μM (S/N=3). The electrode may be practically applied for nitrite determination in human saliva.

A Spectroscopic Study of Electrochemical Nitrogen and Nitrate Reduction on Rhodium Surfaces

Rh is a promising electrocatalyst for the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) given its suitable nitrogen‐adsorption energy and low overpotential. However, the NRR pathway on Rh surfaces remains unknown. In this study, we employ surface‐enhanced infrared‐absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) and differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) to study the reaction mechanism of NRR on Rh. N₂H_x (0≤x≤2) is detected with a N=N stretching mode at ≈2020 cm^?1 by SEIRAS and a signal at m/z=29 by DEMS. A new two‐step reaction pathway on Rh surfaces is proposed that involves an electrochemical process with a two‐electron transfer to form N₂H₂ and its subsequent decomposition in the electrolyte producing NH₃. Our results also indicate that nitrate reduction and the NRR share the same reaction intermediate N₂H_x.     

Additivity Factors in the Binding of the Diethyltin(IV) Cation by Ligands Containing Amino and Carboxylic Groups at Different Ionic Strengths

Complex formation constants were determined potentiometrically (by a ISE-H⁺, glass electrode) in the systems, M²⁺ – L^z – H⁺ [M²⁺ = (C₂H₅)₂Sn²⁺, L^z = malonate, glycinate and ethylenediamine] at t = 25 ^∘C and 0.1 mol-L⁻¹≤ I/ ≤ 1 mol-L⁻¹ in NaCl_aq (0.1 mol-L⁻¹ ≤ I ≤ 0.75 mol-L⁻¹ for the ethylenediamine system). Thermodynamic values of formation constants, at infinite dilution, are [± 95% confidence interval, ^Tβ_pqr refer to the equilibrium, pM²⁺ + qL^z + rH⁺ = M_pL_qH_r^(2+z+r)]: for malonate, log₁₀ ^Tβ₁₁₀ = (5.47 ± 0.10); for glycinate, log₁₀ ^Tβ₁₁₀ = (9.54 ± 0.08), log₁₀ ^Tβ₁₁₁ = (12.97 ± 0.10); and for ethylenediamine, log₁₀ ^Tβ₁₁₀ = (10.47 ± 0.10), log₁₀ ^Tβ₁₂₀ = (16.17 ± 0.12) and log₁₀ ^Tβ₁₁₁ = (15.46 ± 0.10). The dependence on ionic strength of the formation constants was modeled by a simple Debye–Hückel type equation and by the SIT approach. By analyzing the stability of the species in the three different systems we found a simple additivity rule that can be expressed by the relationship: log₁₀ K = 6.46 n_N + 3.96 n_O − 0.60 (n_N²+ n_O²), with a mean deviation, ε(log₁₀ K) = 0.15 (K = equilibrium constant for the interaction of the organometal cation with the unprotonated or protonated ligand, n_N = number of amino groups and n_O = number of carboxylic groups of the ligand(s) involved in the formation reaction of complex species).
