Cyclic Voltammetric And In-Situ Ftir Spectroscopic Studies Of Adsorption And Reduction Of No On Electrode Of Pt Nanoparticles, Qian Cheng, Yan-Xia Jiang, Dong-Mei Zeng, Shi-Gang Sun

Journal of Electrochemistry

Adsorption and reduction of NO on electrode of Pt nanoparticles in acid solutions were studied by means of cyclic voltammetry(CV) and in-situ FTIR spectroscopy.The results indicated that the reduction of NO is a complicated process including the adsorption of NO on electrode surface.Two types of surface-bonded NO were determined on Pt nanoparticles.The weakly adsorbed NO was reduced between 0.6 V and-0.05 V,which yielded nitrous oxide(N2O) and ammonium(NH+4) as products;while the strongly bonded NO was reduced at more negative potentials between-0.05V and-0.15V,producing only NH4+ species.

Journal of Electrochemistry

The MnO2 microspheres were prepared through the oxidation of KMnO4 and MnCO3 microspheres precursor.The microstructure and supercapacitor properties of MnO2 were characterized by XRD,SEM and CV.The results show that MnO2 was in a poorly crystalline state with α-crystallographic form,the size of microspheres typically ranged from 0.5 to 2 μm.Loading 5 mg·cm-2 MnO2 microspheres had excellent capacitance behaviors in 2 mol·L-1(NH4)2SO4 solution.The specific capacitance was 135.6 F·g-1 with the scan rate at 2 mV·s-1,and 118.8 F·g-1 with the large scan rate at 100 mV/s.Coulumbic efficiency was still above 87.8% in the 500 cycles,and the specific capacitance of the 500th cycle was …

Electrochemical Reduction Of Nitrobenzene In Different Ionic Liquids, Jun-Li Fan, Wei-Lin Ye, Rong Wang, Li-Qun Xu, Xia-Qin Wu

Journal of Electrochemistry

Electrochemical reduction of nitrobenzene at glassy carbon electrode in different ionic liquids,such as N-methylimidazolium-p-toluene sulfonic acid ([Mim][PhSO3]) and ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim][PF6]) have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry. Experimental results showed that only a cathodic current peak was observed in [Mim][PhSO3],which is a diffusional controlled irreversible reaction. And two pairs of current peaks were obtained in [Bmim][PF6] in the same potential range,indicating showed that the reduction products of nitrobenzene were different in different ionic liquids.

Journal of Electrochemistry

The FeCl3 modified clay electrode was made.The electrochemical behavior of carbendazim(BCM) on the modified electrode was studied by cyclic voltammetry.The impacts of pH,scan rate and dosages of modifier were discussed and the important kinetic parameters of the electrochemical process were determined.The results indicated that the process was controlled by diffusion.The effective area of FeMM-CMC/GCE(A)=0.027 cm2,the transfer electron numbers(n)=2 and the diffusion coefficient(D)=5.115×10-6cm2/s.Under the optimized conditions,a good linearity was found between the first order derivative of peak current and concentration of BCM in the range of 2.00×10-5~8.00×10-4mol/L,with i′p=-8.045×10-7-0.0237c,correlation coefficient R=-0.9965,and the detect limitation of 2.41×10-6 mol/L.The recovery of BCM was detected …
