Cyclic Voltammetric Calorimetry Studying The Deposition Of Copper Of Pt Electrodes, Yongchun Zhu, Robin H J Clark Nov 1995

Cyclic Voltammetric Calorimetry Studying The Deposition Of Copper Of Pt Electrodes, Yongchun Zhu, Robin H J Clark

Journal of Electrochemistry

In the present paper,cyclic voltammetric calorimetry has been used to study thedeposition of copper on platinum electrode from LiClO_4 aqueous solution. Cyclic voltammetricthermogram and cyclic voltammetric differential thermogram show that the deposition of copper on theelectrode is an exothermal process with a strong interaction between copper and platinum layer(-3227.0 kJ /mol).The electrochemical oxidation of the deposited copper is composed of twoprocesses :an endothermal activation process with 747.0 kJ/mol of activation enthalpy,and anexothermal oxidation reaction with-189.9 kJ/mol of the reaction enthalpy, which are accord withthe data from the theoritical estimation and thermodynamic handbook respectively.


Electrochemically Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode And Determination Of Copper By Anodic Stripping Voltammetry, Jinrui Xu, Yie Liu, Xiurun Zhuang May 1995

Electrochemically Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode And Determination Of Copper By Anodic Stripping Voltammetry, Jinrui Xu, Yie Liu, Xiurun Zhuang

Journal of Electrochemistry

This paper reported the glassy carbon electrode modified by cyclic voltammetrybetween-0. 1and + 1. 5 V(vs. SCE)in an aqueous solution containing catechol,formaldehyde andtalium hydroxide. The modified electrode can be applied to the determination of copper(Ⅱ) in water,and its sensitivity is about 35 times higher than that of unmedified glassy carbon electrede, Thequantitative limit with this modified electrede is 0. 1 ng/ml.
