Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry of Uracil. Experimental and Theoretical Study Under Conditions of Square‐Wave Voltammetry

The electrode mechanism of uracil at a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) is studied under cathodic stripping square‐wave voltammetric mode owing to the cathodic dissolution of a sparingly soluble compound formed between the electrode material and uracil. The experimental results can be partly explained in the light of the recent theory for cathodic stripping processes of insoluble salts under conditions of square‐wave voltammetry. It is established that the electrode reaction is complicated by attractive interactions between the deposited species of the insoluble compound. To elucidate the electrode mechanism completely a novel theoretical model is developed considering adsorption of the reacting analyte and lateral interactions between species of the insoluble compound. With the help of numerical simulations the effect of interactions is studied in detail, emphasizing the properties of the response that can be used as diagnostic criteria for recognition of the type of interaction forces. Theoretically predicted voltammetric properties agree well with the experimental results enabling clarification of the complex electrode mechanism of uracil at HMDE.     

Selection of Pharmaceutical Antioxidants by Hydrodynamic Voltammetry

Antioxidant compounds are routinely included in pharmaceutical formulations in order to minimize the oxidative degradation of the active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) (API). The effectiveness of the antioxidants being considered is often assessed by creating several formulations with the API(s) and single or multiple antioxidants in order to place each of these formulations on stability under accelerated conditions. This trial and error selection process is costly and time consuming, often taking weeks before the oxidation is observed at a detectable level. Using a flow injection coulometric detector based system, a potential tool has been developed to guide initial antioxidant selection for hindering the oxidative degradation for a given drug substance in its formulation environment. The relative potential for the API to be oxidized can be measured by matching the conditions of the coulometric experiment to the formulation matrix. Using this selection criterion, the choice of antioxidants to study for individual formations can be greatly narrowed, thus leading to a significant savings in development time and cost.

Hydrodynamic Microgap Voltammetry under Couette Flow Conditions: Electrochemistry at a Rotating Drum in Viscous Poly(ethylene glycol)

Electrochemical processes in highly viscous media such as poly(ethylene glycol) (herein PEG200) are interesting for energy‐conversion applications, but problematic due to slow diffusion causing low current densities. Here, a hydrodynamic microgap experiment based on Couette flow is introduced for an inlaid disc electrode approaching a rotating drum. Steady‐state voltammetric currents are independent of viscosity and readily increased by two orders of magnitude with further potential to go to higher rotation rates and nanogaps. A quantitative theory is derived for the prediction of currents under high‐shear Couette flow conditions and generalised for different electrode shapes. The 1,1′‐ferrocene dimethanol redox probe in PEG200 (D=1.4×10^?11 m² s^?1) is employed and data are compared with 1) a Levich‐type equation expressing the diffusion–convection‐limited current and 2) a COMSOL simulation model providing a potential‐dependent current trace.     

Theoretical Analysis of a Surface Catalytic Mechanism Associated with Reversible Chemical Reaction Under Conditions of Cyclic Staircase Voltammetry

In this work, we present theoretical results in cyclic staircase voltammetry of a surface catalytic mechanism that features reversible chemical step, the so‐called “surface catalytic EC_rev’ mechanism”. We consider specific surface regenerative mechanism, in which both of the electro‐inactive substrates are present in large excess in electrochemical cell from the beginning of the experiment. The chemical reversibility brings at this mechanism more complexity in respect to the features of well‐elaborated surface catalytic EC’ mechanism coupled with chemically irreversible regenerative reaction. As we present plenty of simulated cyclic voltammograms, we also propose methods to get insight to kinetics and thermodynamics parameters relevant to chemical regenerative step. The elaboreted results can be important in analysing the kinetics and thermodynamics of many drug‐drug and drug‐DNA interactions, for example. In addition, with the results elaborated in this work we can access relevant information about the chemistry of important lipophilic enzymes studied in protein‐film voltammetry set up.

叶绿素a分子在乙醇溶剂中的瞬态吸收研究

The excited state of Chlorophyll a is investigated by femtosecond transient absorption. The transient absorption spectra of Q band and By band of Chlorophyll a in ethanol have been observed. The fast kinetics of Chlorophyll a which exhibit two ultrafast components were also measured. The one is assigned to transient absorption of the inhomogeneously broadened ground state absorption spectrum, while the other is the response of the solvent to the change of the electron configuration in the excited state due to salvation dynamics of the polar solvent molecules. To understand the anisotropy of Chlorophyll a in ethanol, the anisotropy profile was also performed by 405 nm excitation and found that the anisotropy profile is 0.143. The possible combination of θda, θdb and η at excitation of By band has been simulated.     

Voltammetry Under Microfluidic Control,a Flow Cell Aproach

A generic approach to the design, construction and experimental characterization of novel microelectrochemical reactors (MECR) is presented. Structurally well‐defined rectangular microchannels incorporating electrochemical sensors were fabricated using a propriety photosensitive glass and photolithographic techniques. Microelectrode sensors were produced via evaporation to yield, gold, silver or platinum bands of approximate lengths 10–50 μm. The approach outlined permits cells of dimensions in the range: height 50–100 μm, width 100–500 μm and length 1–3 cm to be accurately constructed, in single or array configurations and were characterized via a voltammetric study utilizing electrolyte solutions containing N,N,N′N′‐Tetramethyl‐1,4‐phenylenediamine. In all cases, the test cells were constructed so that the three dimensional hydrodynamic boundary layer within the cells would significantly influence the reagent transport and therefore the observed current density at the microelectrodes. The current/flow rate relationship observed was analogous to the response of the observed within the macroscopic channel flow cells, where typically the cell design is restricted to configurations where a two dimensional transport analysis can be performed.

Carbon‐Supported Pt Particles as a Catalyst for Electrooxidation of Methanol and Cyclic Voltammetry Studies Under Acidic Conditions

Electrooxidation of methanol on glassy carbon (GC) electrode modified by optimum carbon supported Pt electrocatalyst (Pt‐C/GC) in acid media is investigated. The catalyst is prepared by ultrasonicating Pt/C powders in aqueous media. The activity of prepared Pt‐C/GC electrode is studied in potential range of 0–1000 mV (versus SCE) by cyclic voltammetry. The results showed that the Pt/C dispersed layer at the surface of glassy carbon electrode, behaves as an electrocatalyst for the oxidation of methanol in acid medium by optimum loading of Pt (0.2 mg cm^?2). The electrochemical properties of prepared electrode are studied under various conditions. However the effect of various parameters in the catalytic enhancement of Pt/C, such as platinum loading, sulfuric acid concentration, different scan rates, different final potentials, and medium temperature are considered and examined.     

Voltammetry at a de Levie brush electrode as a model for electrochemical supercapacitor behaviour

Electrochemical supercapacitors provide electrical energy storage systems complementary to batteries. Based on the double layer capacitance of high area porous electrode materials, e.g. carbon powders, felts, foams, aerogels or on the redox pseudocapacitance of oxide or polymer films, specific capacitances of the order of 50100 F g⁻¹ are realizable. However, the porous nature of the electrode structures introduces a distribution of resistive and capacitative elements giving rise to electrical behaviour like that of a transmission line, as treated by de Levie, with a resulting complex power spectrum depending on charging or discharging rates. The present paper examines the cyclic voltammetry behaviour of de Levie type wire brush electrodes as models for porous electrodes, in comparison with that of single wire electrodes of the same metal. Comparisons are also made with constant current charging behaviour and with the electrochemical behaviour of specially made, 3 V, non aqueous solution, double layer capacitor modules, examined under similar conditions in relation to the current response profiles of a 5 RC element hardware model circuit. These approaches enable the effects of the distribution of R and C elements on charge acceptance and delivery at various rates to be quantitatively evaluated for various resistivities of the conducting electrolyte in pores.

Study of the Effects of Nonlinear Potential Sweeps on Voltammetry

Voltammetric methods use a constant sweep rate during the course of a scan. This paper reports a study of the influence of a nonconstant sweep rate on the voltammetric response. In this approach, either continuously increasing or continuously decreasing potential scan rates can be employed, unlike presently available methods which rely on a constant sweep rate. The voltammetric response of potassium ferrocyanide at a glassy carbon electrode was used as a model system to test the new method. The responses obtained using traditional staircase voltammetry (linear staircase voltammetry) and the new approach (nonlinear staircase voltammetry) were compared by experiment and by simulation. The new approach offers capability for signal enhancement, whereby enhanced current or enhanced peak shape can be obtained by choice of appropriate waveform parameters.     

Voltammetry in Undiluted Acetic Acid. In Situ Determination of Water

Water present in undiluted acetic acid can be monitored in situ with Pt and Au microelectrodes using differential pulse and square‐wave voltammetries. Both reduction and oxidation peaks can be obtained. The best quantitative analytical results were obtained for the anodic peak, the Pt microelectrode, and differential pulse voltammetry. The anodic water peak is located at +1.55 V vs. the quasi reference Pt electrode. The voltammetric peak obtained at Pt electrode is apparently not a diffusional one, however, the calibration plot obtained by employing this peak is linear over a wide concentration range, up to 4 mol dm^?3. The detection limit has been estimated as 2.3 mM or 0.0043 v/v%. The developed method may be particularly useful, since the Karl Fischer method can not be used to determine water in glacial acetic acid due to the estrification reaction of acetic acid with methanol. A voltammetric wave of undiluted acetic acid could not be obtained in the positive and negative ranges of potential.
