The Water Decomposition Reactions on Boron-Doped Diamond Electrodes

چکیده
As reações eletródicas que ocorrem em ambos extremos da extensa janela eletroquímica do eletrodo de diamante dopado com boro foram analisadas por curvas de polarização visando determinar as respectivas energias de ativação aparentes para a etapa determinante da velocidade em cada caso. Encontrou-se que a reação de desprendimento de hidrogênio ocorre por um mecanismo VolmerHeyrovsky, com a primeira etapa sendo a determinante da velocidade. A energia de ativação aparente foi calculada como sendo 150 kJ mol, indicando a formação de um intermediário do tipo M-H, típico da etapa de Volmer. Por outro lado, a energia de ativação aparente para a reação de desprendimento de oxigênio foi encontrada como sendo 106 kJ mol, o que também indica a etapa de adsorção do mecanismo como a determinante da velocidade. Desta forma, demonstrou-se que a interação entre as moléculas de água e a superfície do eletrodo de diamante é fortemente inibida, o que explica a extensa janela de potenciais observada para este eletrodo.

Boron doped diamond and glassy carbon electrodes comparative study of the oxidation behaviour of cysteine and methionine.
The electrochemical oxidation behaviour at boron doped diamond and glassy carbon electrodes of the sulphur-containing amino acids cysteine and methionine, using cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry over a wide pH range, was compared. The oxidation reactions of these amino acids are irreversible, diffusion-controlled pH dependent processes, and occur in a complex cascade mechanism. The amin...

متن کاملHighly Sensitive Measurement of Bio-Electric Potentials by Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD) Electrodes for Plant Monitoring
We describe a sensitive plant monitoring system by the detection of the bioelectric potentials in plants with boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes. For sensor electrodes, we used commercially available BDD, Ag, and Pt plate electrodes. We tested this approach on a hybrid species in the genus Opuntia (potted) and three different trees (ground-planted) at different places in Japan. For the Opunti...

This study highlights the effects of the electrochemical surface pre-treatment of polished polycrystalline boron-doped diamond electrodes in ethanol on electron transfer to organic redox systems. A novel ‘‘activation’’ procedure based on cathodic polarisation in ethanol (0.01 M NBu4PF6) is proposed and shown to be highly effective in promoting electron transfer to the aqueous FeðCNÞ =4 6 redox ...
