Mechanisimic Study Of Fes Electrode Process, Cong-Sheng Guan, Shu-Zhen Duan

Journal of Electrochemistry

The mechanism of FeS electrode process has been investigated by using linear cyclic voltammetry. The electrode porcess of FeS is accompanied with the formation and dissolution of insoluble FeS and controlled by ohmic resistance. The peak currents and potentials on the cyclic voltammograms are dependent lineally on the square root of the scan rates. According to this, an ohmic resistance controlling model of FeS electrode has been put forward, and the relative functions between peak currents or potentials and scan rates have been deduced.

Journal of Electrochemistry

The adsorption behavior of amino acids, such as L-cysteine, histidine and arginine at gold-quartz crystal microbalance (Au-QCM) was investigated. The adsorption quantity of cysteine is more appreciable than others because of the stronger interaction between its thiol group and the gold electrode surface. The electron-transfer process of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in presence of cysteine at Au-QCM has also been studied using the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) technique which reveals clearly the quasi-reversible electron-transfer process accompanied by the frequency shift cycle. The reversible adsorption and disorption processes are discussed.
