Henkelman, and Allen J. Bard* Center for Electrochemistry, Department of Chemistry, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: The electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 has been studied extensively and produces a number of products. The initial reaction in the CO2 reduction is often taken to be the 1e formation of the radical anion, CO •−. However, the electrochemical detection and •− 2 •− characterization of CO2 is challenging because of the short lifetime of CO2 , which can dimerize and react with proton donors and even mild oxidants. Here, we report the generation •− and quantitative determination of CO2 in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) with the tip generation/substrate collection (TG/SC) mode of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). CO2 was reduced at a hemisphere-shaped Hg/Pt ultramicroelectrode (UME) or a fi •− Hg/Au lm UME, which were utilized as the SECM tips. The CO2 produced can either dimerize to form oxalate within the nanogap between SECM tip and substrate or collected at ffi •− SECM substrate (e.g., an Au UME). The collection e ciency (CE) for CO2 depends on the distance (d) between the tip and substrate. The dimerization rate (6.0 × 108 M−1 s−1) and half-life (10 ns) of CO •− can be evaluated by fitting the collection efficiency vs distance curve. The 2 •− dimerized species of CO2 , oxalate, can also be determined quantitatively. Furthermore, the 0′ ff formal potential (E ) and heterogeneous rate constant (k0) for CO2 reduction were determined with di erent quaternary fi ff ff ammonium electrolytes. The signi cant di erence in k0 is due to a tunneling e ect caused by the adsorption of the electrolytes on the electrode surface at negative potentials. ■ INTRODUCTION copy, in aqueous and aprotic solutions for the detection of •− A recent upsurge in interest in the direct and catalyzed CO2 adsorbed on the metal electrode surface. Unfortunately, electrochemical reduction of CO stems from the possibility of quantitative information and direct electrochemical behavior of 2 − converting CO into fuel for energy storage and conversion.1 3 this species has not been obtained.

    membranes Article Synergistic Effect of 2-Acrylamido-2-methyl- 1-propanesulfonic Acid on the Enhanced Conductivity for Fuel Cell at Low Temperature Murli Manohar * and Dukjoon Kim * School of Chemical Engineering, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon, Kyunggi 16419, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] (M.M.); [email protected] (D.K.) Received: 3 November 2020; Accepted: 10 December 2020; Published: 15 December 2020 Abstract: This present work focused on the aromatic polymer (poly (1,4-phenylene ether-ether-sulfone); SPEES) interconnected/ cross-linked with the aliphatic monomer (2-acrylamido -2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic; AMPS) with the sulfonic group to enhance the conductivity and make it flexible with aliphatic chain of AMPS. Surprisingly, it produced higher conductivity than that of other reported work after the chemical stability was measured. It allows optimizing the synthesis of polymer electrolyte membranes with tailor-made combinations of conductivity and stability. Membrane structure is characterized by 1H NMR and FT-IR. Weight loss of the membrane in Fenton’s reagent is not too high during the oxidative stability test. The thermal stability of the membrane is characterized by TGA and its morphology by SEM and SAXS. The prepared membranes improved 1 proton conductivity up to 0.125 Scm− which is much higher than that of Nafion N115 which is 1 0.059 Scm− . Therefore, the SPEES-AM membranes are adequate for fuel cell at 50 ◦C with reduced relative humidity (RH).

Introduction Recently, lots of polymer electrolyte membranes have been prepared from the sulfonation of aromatic polymers such as poly(arylene ether sulfone) [1–4] and modified poly(arylene ether sulfone) [5–7] for the application of electrodialysis and fuel cells as their rigid-rod backbone structures are basically quite stable in thermal and mechanical aspects.

Received: 11 February 2014; in revised form: 3 April 2014 / Accepted: 13 April 2014 / Published: 24 April 2014 Abstract: Applications of redox processes range over a number of scientific fields. This review article summarizes the theory behind the calculation of redox potentials in solution for species such as organic compounds, inorganic complexes, actinides, battery materials, and mineral surface-bound-species. Different computational approaches to predict and determine redox potentials of electron transitions are discussed along with their respective pros and cons for the prediction of redox potentials. Subsequently, recommendations are made for certain necessary computational settings required for accurate calculation of redox potentials. This article reviews the importance of computational parameters, such as basis sets, density functional theory (DFT) functionals, and relativistic approaches and the role that physicochemical processes play on the shift of redox potentials, such as hydration or spin orbit coupling, and will aid in finding suitable combinations of approaches for different chemical and geochemical applications. Identifying cost-effective and credible computational approaches is essential to benchmark redox potential calculations against experiments.

  • "Relationships Between Oxidation-Reduction Potential
    Relationships between Oxidation-Reduction Potential, Oxidant, and pH in Drinking Water Cheryl N. James3, Rachel C. Copeland2, and Darren A. Lytle1 1U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, NRMRL, Cincinnati, OH 2University of Cincinnati, Department of Environmental Engineering, Cincinnati, OH 3University of Cincinnati, Department of Chemical Engineering, Cincinnati, OH Abstract –Oxidation and reduction (redox) reactions are very important in drinking water. Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) measurements reflect the redox state of water. Redox measurements are not widely made by drinking water utilities in part because they are not well understood. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of oxidant type and concentration on the ORP of carbonate buffered water as a function of pH. Oxidants that were studied included: chlorine, monochloramine, potassium permanganate, chlorine dioxide, and oxygen. ORP decreased with increasing pH, regardless of the oxidant type or concentration. ORP increased rapidly with increasing oxidant dosage, particularly at lower concentrations. Differences in the redox potentials of different oxidant systems were also observed. Waters that contained chlorine and chlorine dioxide had the highest ORPs. Tests also revealed that there were inconsistencies with redox electrode measurements. In the standard Zobell reference solution, two identical redox electrodes had nearly the same reading, but in test waters the readings sometimes showed a variation as great as 217.7 mV. Key words: ORP, redox potential, redox chemistry, oxidant, drinking water 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 Redox Theory Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions describe the transfer of electrons between atoms, molecules, or ions. Oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously and together make up an electrochemical couple.

When there is not sufficient co-product butadiene available, supplies can be supplemented by material made by the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butenes. Regardless of the source, the butadiene must be separated from other C4 hydrocarbons (mainly butane and butenes). Rxtractive distillation is the major separation process in current usem This report coataius process descriptions, capital investment esti- mates, and production cost estimates for the Petro-Tex oxidative dehydrogenation process to produce butadiene frox n-butenes and for the three extractive distillation processes that are presently available for licensing in the United States. The extractive distillation pro- cesses are the Nippon Zeon process (dimethylfornisxidesolvent), the BASP process (N-methyl pyrrolidone solvent), and the Union Carbide pro- cess (dixethylacetsxide solvent).
