Journal of Electrochemistry

Electrochemical properties of a novel monoruthenated porphyrin [Ru(phen)2(MPyTMPP)Cl]+ (where phen =1,10-phenanthroline,MPyTMPP =5-(3-pyridyl)-10,15,20-tris-(4-methylphenyl) porphyrin) on a multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode with the participation of dihexadecyl phosphate (DHP) have been investigated by using cyclic voltammetry,differential pulse voltammetry,UV-Visible spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. It is found that [Ru(phen)2(MPyTMPP)Cl]+ has the ability to adsorb strongly onto the MWCNTs-DHP modified GC electrode and exhibits a pair of redox waves controlled by surface electrochemical process. DHP dispersed on the MWCNTs/GC electrode can facilitate the ruthenium complex to adsorb onto the MWCNTs-DHP surface. A new complex is generated by the interaction of [Ru(phen)2(MPyTMPP)Cl]+ …

Layered Li-birnessite was prepared by means of oxidizing Mn2+ with O2 gas in alkaline media.The as-prepared sample was characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),BET and thermogravimetric/diffenential thermal analysis(TG/DTA) techniques.The electrochemical properties of the material were also investigated.The results show that such a Li-birnessite consists of well-crystallized spherical particles with an interlayer distance of 0.70 nm.The Li-birnessite delivered a high discharge capacity of 203 mAh/g at a rate of 0.2 C(40 mA/g),and had good rate capability as well.

Journal of Electrochemistry

The electrochemical behaviors and adsorption properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes such as SWNT,SWNT-COOH,and SWNT-OH and multi-walled carbon nanotubes including MWNT,MWNT-COOH,and MWNT-OH modified at a graphite electrode have been investigated by using [Fe(CN)6]3-anion and [Co(phen)3]3+ cation.It was shown that shows good redox reversibility of [Fe(CN)6]3-/4-reactions on the existed carbon nanotubes(CNT) modified electrode.Based on the strong adsorptive property of [Co(phen)3]3+ on the CNT surface,the [Co(phen)3]3+/CNT modified graphite electrode can be obtained by progressive potential sweeping and developed to monitor quantitatively 6-mercaptopurine(6-MP).The adsorption capacity of [Co(phen)3]3+ on the multi-walled carbon nanotubes is higher than that of single-walled carbon nanotubes.For the carbon nanotubes with …
