    22 METHODOLOGY 2.1 INTRODUCTION TO ELECTROCHEMICAL TECHNIQUES Electrochemical techniques of analysis involve the measurement of voltage or current. Such methods are concerned with the interplay between solution/electrode interfaces. The methods involve the changes of current, potential and charge as a function of chemical reactions. One or more of the four parameters i.e. potential, current, charge and time can be measured in these techniques and by plotting the graphs of these different parameters in various ways, one can get the desired information. Sensitivity, short analysis time, wide range of temperature, simplicity, use of many solvents are some of the advantages of these methods over the others which makes them useful in kinetic and thermodynamic studies1-3. In general, three electrodes viz., working electrode, the reference electrode, and the counter or auxiliary electrode are used for the measurement in electrochemical techniques. Depending on the combinations of parameters and types of electrodes there are various electrochemical techniques. These include potentiometry, polarography, voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, chronopotentiometry, linear sweep techniques, amperometry, pulsed techniques etc. These techniques are mainly classified into static and dynamic methods. Static methods are those in which no current passes through the electrode-solution interface and the concentration of analyte species remains constant as in potentiometry. In dynamic methods, a current flows across the electrode-solution interface and the concentration of species changes such as in voltammetry and coulometry4. 2.2 VOLTAMMETRY The field of voltammetry was developed from polarography, which was invented by the Czechoslovakian Chemist Jaroslav Heyrovsky in the early 1920s5. Voltammetry is an electrochemical technique of analysis which includes the measurement of current as a function of applied potential under the conditions that promote polarization of working electrode6.

  • Chapter 3: Experimental
    Chapter 3: Experimental CHAPTER 3: EXPERIMENTAL 3.1 Basic concepts of the experimental techniques In this part of the chapter, a short overview of some phrases and theoretical aspects of the experimental techniques used in this work are given. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) is the most common technique to obtain preliminary information about an electrochemical process. It is sensitive to the mechanism of deposition and therefore provides informations on structural transitions, as well as interactions between the surface and the adlayer. Chronoamperometry is very powerful method for the quantitative analysis of a nucleation process. The scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is based on the exponential dependence of the tunneling current, flowing from one electrode onto another one, depending on the distance between electrodes. Combination of the STM with an electrochemical cell allows in-situ study of metal electrochemical phase formation. XPS is also a very powerfull technique to investigate the chemical states of adsorbates. Theoretical background of these techniques will be given in the following pages. At an electrode surface, two fundamental electrochemical processes can be distinguished: 3.1.1 Capacitive process Capacitive processes are caused by the (dis-)charge of the electrode surface as a result of a potential variation, or by an adsorption process. Capacitive current, also called "non-faradaic" or "double-layer" current, does not involve any chemical reactions (charge transfer), it only causes accumulation (or removal) of electrical charges on the electrode and in the electrolyte solution near the electrode. There is always some capacitive current flowing when the potential of an electrode is changing. In contrast to faradaic current, capacitive current can also flow at constant 28 Chapter 3: Experimental potential if the capacitance of the electrode is changing for some reason, e.g., change of electrode area, adsorption or temperature.

Academic Editor: Ki-Hyun Kim Received: 26 December 2014 / Accepted: 28 February 2015 / Published: 4 March 2015 Abstract: Soil enzymes play essential roles in catalyzing reactions necessary for nutrient cycling in the biosphere. They are also sensitive indicators of ecosystem stress, therefore their evaluation is very important in assessing soil health and quality. The standard soil enzyme assay method based on spectroscopic detection is a complicated operation that requires the removal of soil particles. The purpose of this study was to develop a new soil enzyme assay based on hydrodynamic electrochemical detection using a rotating disk electrode in a microliter droplet. The activities of enzymes were determined by measuring the electrochemical oxidation of p-aminophenol (PAP), following the enzymatic conversion of substrate-conjugated PAP. The calibration curves of β-galactosidase (β-gal), β-glucosidase (β-glu) and acid phosphatase (AcP) showed good linear correlation after being spiked in soils using chronoamperometry.

Received: 18 November 2018; Accepted: 25 December 2018; Published: 4 January 2019 Abstract: The reactions of antioxidants with superoxide radical were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV)—and hydrodynamic voltammetry at a rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE). In both methods, the superoxide is generated in solution from dissolved oxygen and then measured after being allowed to react with the antioxidant being studied. Both methods detected and measured the radical scavenging but the RRDE was able to give detailed insight into the antioxidant behavior. Three flavonoids, chrysin, quercetin and eriodictyol, were studied, their scavenging activity of superoxide was assessed and the molecular structure of each flavonoid was related to its scavenging capability. From our improved and novel RRDE method, we determine the ability of these 3 antioxidants to react with superoxide radical in a more quantitative manner than the classical CV.

Protein-film voltammetry, based on surface confined electro- chemical processes, is a methodology of exceptional importance, which is designed to provide information on enzyme redox chemistry. In this work, we address some theoretical aspects of surface confined electrode mechanisms under conditions of square-wave voltammetry (SWV). Attention is paid to a collection of specific voltammetric features of a surface electrode reaction coupled with a follow-up (ECrev), preceding (CrevE) and regenerative (EC’) chemical reaction. While presenting a collection of numerically calculated square-wave voltammograms, several intriguing and simple features enabling kinetic char- acterization of studied mechanisms in time-independent experiments (i.e., voltammetric experiments at a constant scan rate) are addressed. The aim of the work is to help in designing a suitable experimental set-up for studying surface electrode processes, as well as to provide a means for determination of kinetic and/or thermodynamic parameters of both electrode and chemical steps.

  • 17. Electrogravimetric Determination of Copper in Alloys
    17. Electrogravimetric determination of copper in alloys Electrogravimetry is electroanalytical method based on gravimetric determination of metallic elements, which are isolated on the cathode in form of metal or on the anode in form of metal oxide during electrolysis. This method employs two or three electrodes, and either a constant current or a constant potential is applied to the preweighed working electrode. An electrode (half-cell) is a structure consisting of two conductive phases – one of these is a metal or a different solid conductor, and the other consists of electrolyte. Between the metal or any other solid conductor (electrode) and the solution, electrode processes take place, which are redox reactions. Electrolysis is decomposition of electrolyte as a result of impact of direct current flowing through the electrolyzer. This term encompasses: the actual electrochemical reaction taking place on the metallic electrodes, which is associated with transport of charge, transport of ions to and from the electrode surface, secondary chemical reactions taking place near the electrode. In electrogravimetry, we use electrolytic cells or structures consisting of two electrodes immersed in an electrolyte solution, to which an external source of electrical energy is connected. The electrode connected to the positive pole of this external source is the anode, while the electrode connected to the negative pole is the cathode. On the cathode, the reduction reaction takes place (ox1 + z1e red1), and on the anode – the oxidation reaction (red2 ox2 +z2e). In order to make sure that the reduction and oxidation reactions are taking place at the sufficient speed, it is necessary to apply the appropriate potential from the external source of electric energy.

  • Stationary Electrode Voltammetry and Chronoamperometry in an Alkali Metal Carbonate-Borate Melt
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF DARRELL GEORGE PETCOFF for the Doctor of Philosophy (Name of student) (Degree) in Analytical Chemistry presented onC (O,/97 (Major) (Date) Title: STATIONARY ELECTRODE VOLTAMMETRY AND CHRONOAMPEROMETRY IN AN ALKALI METAL CARBONATE - BORATE. MFT T Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy- Drir. reund The electrochemistry of the lithium-potassium-sodium carbonate-borate melt was explored by voltammetry and chrono- amperometry. In support of this, a controlled-potential polarograph and associated hardware was constructed.Several different types of reference electrodes were tried before choosing a porcelain mem- brane electrode containing a silver wire immersed in a silver sulfate melt.The special porcelain compounded was used also to construct a planar gold disk electrode.The theory of stationary electrode polarography was summarized and denormalized to provide an over- all view. A new approach to the theory of the cyclic background current was also advanced. A computer program was written to facilitate data processing.In addition to providing peak potentials, currents, and n-values, the program also resolves overlapping peaks and furnishes plots of both processed and unprocessed data. Rapid-scan voltammetry was employed to explore the electro- chemical behavior of Zn, Co, Fe, Tl, Sb, As, Ni, Sn, Cd, Te, Bi, Cr, Pb, Cu, and U in the carbonate-borate melt. Most substances gave reasonably well-defined peaks with characteristic peak potentials and n-values.Metal deposition was commonly accompanied by adsorp- tion prepeaks indicative of strong adsorption, and there was also evi- dence of a preceding chemical reaction for several elements, sug- gesting decomplexation before reduction.
