催化层位置对气体扩散电极性能的影响

以锌空气电池气体扩散电极为研究对象,采用分层添加催化剂的方式研究了改变催化层位置对气体扩散电极放电性能的影响.将气体扩散电极以集流体为中心分为两面:面向空气侧的A面与面向电解液侧的B面.根据催化剂添加位置的不同,制作四类电极:AB两面都添加催化剂、AB两面都不添加催化剂、只在A面添加催化剂、只在B面添加催化剂.在同等条件下对比并分析四类电极的放电效果.实验证明.当催化层位于气体扩散电极的空气侧(A面)时,整个电池的浓差极化与欧姆极化都会增大,而只在气体扩散电极靠近电解液侧(B面)添加催化剂时电极放电性能相对较好.     

纳米碳管作为氧扩散电极催化层第二相碳载体的电极特性

A novel gas diffusion electrode using binary carbon supports (carbon nanotubes and active carbon) as the catalyst layer was prepared. The electrochemical properties for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline electrolyte were investigated by polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results show that the binary-support electrode exhibits higher electrocatalytic activity than the single-support electrode, and the best performance is obtained when the mass ratio of carbon nanotubes and activated carbon is 50 ∶50. The results from their electrode kinetic parameters indicate that the introduction of carbon nanotubes as a secondary support provides high accessible surface area, good electronic conductivity and fast ORR kinetics. The electrocatalytic activity of binary-support electrodes is obviously improved by the deposition of Pt nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes, even at very low Pt loading (45.7 μg/cm2). In addition, the EIS analysis results show that the process of ORR may be controlled by diffusion of oxygen in the thin film for binary-support electrodes with or without Pt catalyst.

Electrochemical Behavior and Determination of Uric Acid at Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Modified Gold Electrodes

The voltammetric behavior of uric acid was studied at a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) modified gold electrode. Uric acid can effectively accumulate at this electrode and produce an anodic peak at about 0.45 V (vs. SCE) in pH 5.0 sodium acetate buffer solutions (HAc-NaAc). The experimental parameters, such as solution pH, accumulation time, and amount of SWNT, were optimized for determination. Under the optimum conditions, the anodic peak current is linear to the uric acid concentration over the range of 1.0×10⁻⁷ M to 2.5×10⁻⁵ M with a correlation coefficient of 0.998. The detection limit was 5.0×10⁻⁸ M for 60 s accumulation. The electrode could be easily regenerated and exhibited good stability. A 5.0×10⁻⁶ M uric acid solution was measured ten times using the same electrode, and the relative standard deviation of the peak current was 1.3%. This method was successfully applied to the determination of uric acid in human urine samples, and the recovery was 97–99%. The feasibility for simultaneous determination of xanthine, ascorbic acid and uric acid was discussed. These species did not interfere with each other in a certain concentration range. The influence of some surfactants on the anodic peak was also examined.

宏观均相多孔电极电化学阻抗谱基础

电化学阻抗谱可用于诊断多孔电极内电荷转移反应,即界面电荷集聚和电荷传导,以及反应物质输运。本文采用复相量方法,在同态假设条件下,重新推演多孔电极阻抗谱模型,厘清传统多孔电极阻抗谱模型中的模糊性表述。(1) 定义多孔电极表征输入参数,包括电极基体电子电导率σ₁ 、电解质离子电导率σ₂、界面电荷传递电导率g_ct、单位面积界面电容C、固相扩散系数D、速度常数k、电极厚度d、特征孔深L_p 和单位体积表面积S_c;(2) 解析阻抗谱特征输出参数,包括场扩散常数K,特征频率ω₀、ω₁、ω₂、ω₃和 ω_max,它们分别相关于界面传导反应、有限场扩散、氧化还原反应、孔内扩散和最小特征孔尺寸,以及分别对应于从传导到扩散和从扩散到饱和的转折频率f_k1 和f_k2;(3) 当参数X和Z同时变化时(X = σ₁和Z = d,S_c,L_p,C,g_ct,D,k),通过阻抗谱特征参数的演变规律,分析了电荷转移反应中X和Ζ参数耦合竞争;(4)为深入分析电荷转移反应中参数X和Z的耦合竞争,引入了分叉频率f_XZ和f_ZX 。f_XZ和f_ZX所处位置可以用于表征参数X和Z影响电荷转移反应的深度和广度。当分叉频率f_XZ和f_ZX不存在时,表明电荷转移反应中参数X和Z在全频率范围内存在耦合竞争。总之,借助于特征频率和分叉频率,本文一方面研究了动力学参数和微观结构参数对多孔电极中电荷转移反应的影响,另一方面分析谱图的变化及其背后的阻抗谱特征演化规律。本文研究结果可为阻抗谱的系统仿真和辨识提供理论基础,可为多孔电极内电荷转移反应的竞争分析提供技术支撑,还可为电化学储能系统的优化设计提供诊断工具。     

Fabrication of Porous Pseudo-Carbon Paste Electrode as a Novel High-Sensitive Electrochemical Biosensor

Abstract

Porous pseudo-carbon paste electrode (PPCPE) as a novel high-sensitive electrochemical biosensor was fabricated by mixing polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres for use as the template, graphite powders for the filler, and pyrrole as the precursor of the polymer which acted as the paste. After the polymerization of pyrrole catalyzed by Fe³⁺, the PMMA microspheres were removed to form PPCPE. The pore size was determined by SEM observations, with diameters ranging from 2 to 5 µm. The anodic stripping voltammetry response of DNA indicated that the adsorption of oligonucleotide on PPCPE was enhanced. The PPCPE was easy to preserve and had a good reusability in comparison with that of a pure carbon paste electrode (CPE) and a carbon nanotube-modified carbon paste electrode (CNTPE). The detection limits of guanine and adenine were 20 nM and 8 nM, respectively.     

Development of an Electrochemical Sensor Based on Covalent Molecular Imprinting for Selective Determination of Bisphenol‐A

In this study, an electrochemical sensor was developed and used for selective determination of bisfenol‐A (BPA) by integrating sol‐gel technique and multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified paste electrode. BPA bounded by covalently to isocyanatopropyl‐triethoxy silane (ICPTS) was synthesized as a new precursor (BPA‐ICPTS) and then BPA‐imprinted polymer (BPA‐IP) sol‐gel was prepared by using tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) and BPA‐ICPTS. Non‐imprinted polymer (NIP) sol‐gel was obtained by using TMOS and (3‐Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane. Both BPA‐IP and NIP sol‐gels were characterized by nitrogen adsorption‐desorption analysis, FTIR, SEM, particle size analyzer and optical microscope. Carbon paste sensor electrode was fabricated by mixing the newly synthesized BPA‐IP with MWCNTs, graphite powder and paraffin oil. The electrochemical characterization of the sensor electrode was achieved with cyclic and differential pulse voltammetric techniques. The response of the developed sensor under the most proper conditions was linear in BPA concentration range from 4.0×10⁻⁹ to 1.0×10⁻⁷ mol L⁻¹ and 5.0×10⁻⁷ to 5.0×10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹ and the detection limit was 4.4×10⁻⁹ mol L⁻¹. The results unclosed that the proposed sensor displayed high sensitivity and selectivity, superior electrochemical performance and rapid response to BPA.     

Polyaniline Nanowire Arrays Deposited on Porous Carbon Derived from Raffia for Electrochemical Detection of Imidacloprid

An electrochemical sensor based on raffia derived porous carbon (RPC) and polyaniline (PANI) composite functional glass carbon electrode (GCE) was constructed for imidacloprid (IMI) determination. PANI nanowire arrays were deposited on RPC surface uniformly without aggregations. The electrochemical response of IMI at RPC@PANI/GCE is about four times than that at bare GCE, indicating high electrocatalytic activity of RPC@PANI towards IMI reduction. The prepared sensor also offers a wide linear range of 0.1–70 μg mL⁻¹ for IMI determination with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.03 μg mL⁻¹. In addition, it offers high recoveries with testing real samples.
