Mechanism of electrochemical reactions of polyaniline films formed under the conditions of cathodic oxygen reduction

Polyaniline films (further, CPANI) were obtained under the conditions of oxygen cathodic reduction in the aniline-containing solution on the electrodes of mixed indium tin oxide (ITO), graphite, and gold. CPANI films are characterized by redox processes in the potential ranges of 0.1–0.2 V and ～0.4 V (SCE). These processes are caused by the polymer chain fragments of different structure and the ratio between the peaks corresponding to these processes varies significantly as dependent on the synthesis conditions (electrode material, stirring, etc). The mechanism of electrode processes on CPANI is studied using the methods of cyclic voltammetry and quartz microgravimetry. It is found that only hydrogen cations and supporting electrolyte anions participate in the electrode process at the potentials of 0.1–0.2 V. The mechanism of redox processes on the obtained polymer films is discussed.     

Synthesis and electrochemical properties of amphiphilic crown ether langmuir-blodgett films [1]

4-Octadecanoylbenzo-15-crown-5 (I) and four 4-alkylbenzo-15-crown-5 ligands [4-XB15C5 where X =n-C₁₈H₃₇ (II), X =n-C₁₆H₃₃ (III), X =n-C₁₄H₂₉ (IV), and X =n-C₁₂H₂₅ (V)] have been synthesized. The -A isotherms ofI andII were systematically investigated. The results indicated that the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films have high stability where the ratios ofI/SA andII/SA were 1 : 1 and 1 : 10, respectively, with a 6.2 pH subphase. The LB films of the crown ethers were deposited onto graphite electrodes pretreated by immersing them in liquid wax. The peak current reached the maximum value when the electrode surface was modified with five layers of the amphiphilic crown ethers.

Cyclic Voltammetric and Morphological Studies of Polyaniline

Cyclic voltammograms and morphology of polyaniline were studied under various synthetic conditions and in various protonic acid media. The effect of protonic acid is not remarkable. The cyclic voltammogram and morphology depend on the synthetic conditions. The anodic peak potential at 0.14 V versus SCE in the cyclic voltammogram is pH independent. The anodic peak potential at 0.7 V versus SCE (pH=1) is pH dependent. By comparing the range of pH and oxidation potential of the conductive form, we propose that the conductive species which exists in the potential range between the first and the second peak in cyclic voltammogram is the radical cation.     

Voltammetric sizing of a sphere.

The size of a glass sphere positioned in the center of a microdisk electrode is determined by using a simple electrochemical procedure and is confirmed, additionally, by a microscopical measurement of the sphere at the time of the electrochemical measurement. The cyclic voltammetric response of the naked electrode and of the electrode with the sphere positioned in its center is recorded over a wide range of scan rates (0.002-1.5 V s(-1)). The size of the sphere is then determined by comparison of the experimental voltammogram with simulations for each individual scan rate.     

Universal Algorithm for Simulating and Evaluating Cyclic Voltammetry at Macroporous Electrodes by Considering Random Arrays of Microelectrodes

An algorithm for the simulation and evaluation of cyclic voltammetry (CV) at macroporous electrodes such as felts, foams, and layered structures is presented. By considering 1D, 2D, and 3D arrays of electrode sheets, cylindrical microelectrodes, hollow-cylindrical microelectrodes, and hollow-spherical microelectrodes the internal diffusion domains of the macroporous structures are approximated. A universal algorithm providing the time-dependent surface concentrations of the electrochemically active species, required for simulating cyclic voltammetry responses of the individual planar, cylindrical, and spherical microelectrodes, is presented as well. An essential ingredient of the algorithm, which is based on Laplace integral transformation techniques, is the use of a modified Talbot contour for the inverse Laplace transformation. It is demonstrated that first-order homogeneous chemical kinetics preceding and/or following the electrochemical reaction and electrochemically active species with non-equal diffusion coefficients can be included in all diffusion models as well. The proposed theory is supported by experimental data acquired for a reference reaction, the oxidation of [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ at platinum electrodes as well as for a technically relevant reaction, the oxidation of VO₂⁺ at carbon felt electrodes. Based on our calculation strategy, we provide a powerful open source tool for simulating and evaluating CV data implemented into a Python graphical user interface (GUI).

Specific features characterizing electrochemical synthesis of polyaniline conducted in the presence of poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) and the spectroelectrochemical characteristics of the obtained films

The electrochemical matrix polymerization of aniline in the presence of poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) (PAMPSA) is performed in conditions that lead to the formation of an interpolymer complex comprising polyaniline and PAMPSA of the 1: 2 composition. The acceleration of the process of polymerization of aniline in the presence of PAMPSA as compared with traditional electropolymerization of aniline in hydrochloric acid is caused by the association of aniline molecules with the sulfo groups of PAMPSA and by a high concentration of hydrogen ions in the vicinity of a molecule of PAMPSA. It is established for the first time ever that, in the initial stages of synthesis for both polymeric and low-molecular-weight acids, the rate of polymerization is substantially greater at a smaller concentration of the acid. The distinguishing feature of the initial stage of electropolymerization of aniline at a low acidity of the environment is a non-autocatalytic character of the process, which may exert a discernible influence on a complex of physicochemical properties of polyaniline, including electric conduction. Studying spectroelectrochemical properties of the obtained films shows practical identity of their spectra with the spectra of standard polyaniline.     

An insight into the self-discharge of Fe3O4 electrodes in alkali solutions

Iron oxide development is necessary as the Iron electrodes exhibit high self discharge and poor charging efficiency in alkaline batteries. Pressed electrodes containing electrolytic iron powder with varying amounts of Fe₃O₄ have been used. The variation of open circuit potential and self discharge currents with alkali concentration is followed. For better understanding of these variations, cyclic polarisation (−1.3 V to + 0.4 Vvs Hg/HgO) and hydrogen evolution studies are carried out. Beyond −0.5 Vvs Hg/HgO, the surface is covered by hydrolysed layer and the protons diffuse away from this layer. The hydrogen evolution takes place with the discharge of K⁺ ions as the rate determining step.     

Differential selectivity in electrochemical oxidation of ascorbic acid and hydrogen peroxide at the surface of functionalized ormosil-modified electrodes

Functionalized ormosil-modified electrodes have been developed for electroanalytical applications. The functionalized ormosil-modified electrodes are made by encapsulating potassium ferricyanide/potassium ferrocyanide within ormosil film derived from an optimum composition of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl trimethoxysilane and phenyltrimethoxy silane in acidic medium in absence of Nafion/crown ether (system 1), in the presence of Nafion (system 2) and in the presence of dibenzo-18-crown-6 (system 3). Another modified electrode (system 4) is also developed using the reaction product of potassium ferricyanide, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and either tetrahydrofuran (THF) or cyclohexanone followed by ormosil formation in the presence of 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl trimethoxysilane and phenyltrimethoxy silane in acidic medium. The electrochemical oxidation of hydrogen peroxide and ascorbic acid conducted at the surface of these four types of functionalized electrodes shows very interesting observations on the selective sensing of ascorbic acid and peroxide. The results based on cyclic voltammetry justify the relative performances on the kinetics of hydrogen peroxide oxidation and reduction. System 3 shows relatively much better oxidation kinetics of hydrogen peroxide as compared to other three systems with relatively weak reduction kinetics whereas system 4 shows relatively faster reduction kinetics of hydrogen peroxide as compared to other three systems. Similarly system 4 shows excellent response to ascorbic acid whereas system 3 shows insensitivity to ascorbic acid under similar experimental conditions. Typical response curve for the analysis of hydrogen peroxide and ascorbic acid using system 3 and system 4 respectively are reported. The results show that system 3 is the best for probing hydrogen peroxide with lowest detection limit of 0.5 μM without any interference from ascorbic acid as commonly encountered using many conventional and chemically modified electrodes.
