  • Walljet Electrochemistry: Quantifying Molecular Transport Through Metallopolymeric and Zirconium Phosphonate Assembled Porphyrin Square Thin Films
    4422 Langmuir 2004, 20, 4422-4429 Walljet Electrochemistry: Quantifying Molecular Transport through Metallopolymeric and Zirconium Phosphonate Assembled Porphyrin Square Thin Films Aaron M. Massari, Richard W. Gurney, Craig P. Schwartz, SonBinh T. Nguyen, and Joseph T. Hupp* Department of Chemistry and the Institute for Nanotechnology, Northwestern University, 2145 Sheridan Road, Evanston, Illinois 60208-3113 Received January 12, 2004. In Final Form: March 7, 2004 By employing redox-active probes, condensed-phase molecular transport through nanoporous thin films can often be measured electrochemically. Certain kinds of electrode materials (e.g. conductive glass) are difficult to fabricate as rotatable disks or as ultramicroelectrodessthe configurations most often used for electrochemical permeation measurements. These limitations point to the need for a more materials- general measurement method. Herein, we report the application of walljet electrochemistry to the study of molecular transport through model metallopolymeric films on indium tin oxide electrodes. A quantitative expression is presented that describes the transport-limited current at the walljet electrode in terms of mass transport through solution and permeation through the film phase. A comparison of the film permeabilities for a series of redox probes measured using the walljet electrode and a rotating disk electrode establishes the accuracy of the walljet method, while also demonstrating similar precision for the two methods. We apply this technique to a system consisting of zirconium phosphonate assembled films of a porphyrinic molecular square. Transport through films comprising three or more layers is free from significant contributions from pinhole defects. Surprisingly, transport through films of this kind is 2-3 orders of magnitude slower than through films constructed via interfacial polymerization of nearly identical supramolecular square building blocks (Keefe; et al.

Kim Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, 1045 Daedeok-daero, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, 305-353 Korea *E-mail: [email protected] Received: 2 September 2020 / Accepted: 10 November 2020 / Published: 31 December 2020 Three-dimensional electrochemical mass transport and concentration gradient distributions on a rotating disk electrode (RDE) were simulated in a copper electrodeposition system. This approach is based on solving the electrochemical reaction kinetics under diffusion-controlled mass transport using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) coupling technique. Diffusive boundary layer thicknesses were locally derived in association with the concentration gradient under a galvanostatic electrolysis. The simulated average diffusion boundary layer thicknesses over the electrode surface were well matched with those from the Levich correlation. Keywords: Rotating Disk Electrode, Copper Electrodeposition, Electrochemical Hydrodynamics, Mass Transport, CFD 1. INTRODUCTION An electrochemical hydrodynamic technique using a rotating disk electrode (RDE), as an electroanalytical tool, has been widely used in experimental electrochemistry for the investigation of electrode reaction kinetics under controlled mass transport conditions [1-3]. The RDE in laboratory- scale reactors provides well-defined electrolyte hydrodynamics and supports various fundamental research on material electrodeposition characteristics. The RDE system has found a wide variety of applications in investigating the designs of commercial-scaled systems. Mass transport at a rotating disk provides an experimental reproducibility to easily control the rate at which an electroactive species arrives at the electrode surface.

  • Investigating the Accuracy of the Diffusion Coefficient Estimation
    Investigating the accuracy of the diffusion coefficient estimation based on the rotating ring-disk electrode transient measurements in the cases of kinetic- limited regime and disk surface passivation. Artem V. Sergeev1*, Alexander V. Chertovich2,1 1 Physics Department, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, 119991 Russia 2 Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics, Moscow, 119991 Russia * Corresponding author. Physics Department, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Leninskie Gory, Moscow, 119991 Russia. Tel.: +7 495 939 4013. E-mail address: [email protected] Abstract The chronoamperometric measurements performed with rotating ring-disc electrode become a one of the standard techniques for the diffusion coefficient determination. However, the theoretical estimation of the transit time on which the technique is based is not strictly connected to the apparent time interval measured in the experiments. Therefore, we employed numerical simulation of RRDE in order to predict possible error of the diffusion coefficient estimation in respect to the disc electrode conditions. According to the results the obtained estimation can vary up to two times depending on the disk electrode potential. On the other hand, even an intense disk passivation process leading to the peak-like shape of the ring current transient does not affect significantly the apparent transit time and the diffusion coefficient estimation. Additionally, it was showed, that the presence of a linear segment in the disk current transient indicates that the time it took to cover most of the disk electrode with the passivation film is close to the RRDE characteristic time. Keywords RRDE, diffusion coefficient, passivation, numerical simulation Introduction A rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) originally was invented by Frumkin and Nekrasov1 almost half a century ago.

  • Probing Fuel Cell Electrocatalyst Properties with Rotating Disk And
    Document #: DRA10052 (REV003 | MAY 2016) Probing Fuel Cell Electrocatalyst Properties with Rotating Disk and Rotating Ring-Disk Electrodes Overview of the Nafion® Thin Film RRDE Technique for Oxygen Reduction Reaction This technical note discusses some practical aspects of using rotating electrodes to study fuel cell electrocatalyst materials. Specifically, a method utilizing Nafion® to immobilize platinum-bearing catalysts on electrode surfaces is described. This approach has been successfully employed by many researchers to probe both the (desired) kinetic and (undesired) peroxide generating properties of electrocatalysts used for the reduction of dioxygen. 1. Introduction Recent trends in fuel cell research and production have increased the demand for fundamental information about the behavior of fuel cell electrocatalysts. Particular attention to those catalysts involved in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) has been driven by interest in / fuel cells based on polymer electrolyte membranes. [1] Because ORR 2 2 electrocatalysts typically make use of very expensive metal particles (most notably, nanoscale structures involving platinum), a key issue in fuel cell research is the search for lower cost catalyst materials. Figure 1. ChangeDisk Rotating Ring-Disk Electrode. Investigators from a wide variety of backgrounds are bringing their efforts to bear on this economic issue, developing catalytic materials with less noble metal content (i.e., a dilution approach) and/or a more efficient use of the existing noble metal content (i.e., engineering particle morphology). Regardless of the approach taken, these researchers generally end up producing a large number of candidate ORR catalysts which must be screened. The two screening criteria of most interest are the ORR kinetics (which should be as fast as possible) and the amount of peroxide formed, which should be as low as possible.

So, there is a need to develop a simple method for the evaluation of manganese present in natural water. This work reports the utility of rapid and inexpensive method for determination of dissolved manganese (II) in natural water by cathodic stripping voltammetry using rotating carbon paste disk electrode.
