THE APPLICATION OF AN ULTRAMICROELECTRODE IN HOMOGENEOUS CATALYTIC REACTION .1. GENERAL CHARACTERISTIC OF A HOMOGENEOUS CATALYTIC REACTION AT AN ULTRAMICROELECTRODE WITH ARBITRARY GEOMETRY UNDER STEADY-STATE

A general characteristic of the electrochemical process coupling with a homogeneous catalytic reaction at an ultramicroelectrode under steady state is described. It was found that the electrochemical process coupling with homogeneous catalytic reaction has a similar steady state voltammetric wave at an ultramicroelectrode with arbitrary geometry. A method of determination for the kinetic constant of homogeneous catalytic reaction at an ultramicroelectrode with arbitrary geometry is proposed.

DETERMINATION OF THE RATE-CONSTANT OF A CATALYTIC REACTION USING A PARALLEL INCIDENT SPECTROELECTROCHEMICAL CELL

The possibility of determining the rate constant of a catalytic reaction using a parallel incident spectroelectrochemical cell was investigated in this work. Various spectroelectrochemical techniques were examined, including single-potential-step chronoabsorptometry, single-potential-step open-circuit relaxation chronoabsorptometry and double-potential-step chronoabsorptometry. The values determined for the kinetics of the ferrocyanide-ascorbic acid system are in agreement with the reported values. The parallel incident method is much more sensitive than the normal transmission method and can be applied to systems which have smaller molar absorptivities, larger rate constants or lower concentrations.
