Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Dihydric Phenol on Polypyrrole Film Modified Electrodes

The electrochemical behavior of catechol, hydroquinone and resorcinol on GC and PPy/GC electrode surface were studied by CV and RDE method. The results indicated that these three substance could be oxidized electrocatalytically on PPy film electrode. The possibility of fabrication of amperometric electrochemical sensor for catechol was also studied.
