应用超微电极和粉末微电极技术研究有机溶剂和正极材料对氧气还原反应和氧气生成反应的影响

采用碳纤维超微电极分别研究了O_2在二甲基亚砜、乙腈和四甘醇二甲醚3种有机溶剂中的电化学反应,结果表明,当阳离子只含四丁胺离子时,反应呈可逆的一电子转移;而阳离子只含锂离子时,O_2的还原和氧化均经历了多电子转移过程.利用超导炭黑和乙炔黑制作粉末微电极进行电化学测试,结果表明,在这2种正极材料上,氧气还原反应(ORR)过程相似,氧气生成反应(OER)过程区别明显.此外,Tafel分析结果表明,对于不同有机溶剂和正极材料,O_2还原均经历了初始的一电子转移步骤.     

Electrochemical methods in understanding the redox processes of drugs and biomolecules and their sensing

Progression of the biochemical information of drugs and its interaction with biological substances require efficient methodologies suitable for generating information without incurring any significant damage to the analytes. Electrochemical methods provide useful information and compatible to the biological environments, without any significant alterations in the analyte, the methods are capable in onsite applications. Present review discusses about the application of the electrochemical techniques in evaluating the mechanism of interaction of drugs with the biomaterials like proteins, lipids, and DNA. The redox process leads to the determination of the drugs and biomolecules through the development of modified electrodes. The modified ultra-microelectrodes (UMEs) or nano electrodes are useful in sensing at the extracellular level of single cells. The electrochemical collision using UMEs provides information about the single molecular level. Present article discusses a brief review of some of the drug and biomolecule interactions using macro and also UMEs.
