Photoinduced electrochemical reduction of nitrite at an electrochemically roughened silver surface

Photoelectrochemical reduction of nitrite and nitrate was studied on the surface of an electrochemically roughened silver electrode. The dependence of the photocurrent on photon energy, applied potential, and concentration of nitrite was determined. It was concluded that the photoelectrochemical reduction proceeds via a photoemission process followed by the capture of hydrated electrons by electron accepters. The excitation of plasmon resonances in nanosize metal structures produced during the roughening procedure resulted in the enhancement of the photoemission process. Ammonia was detected as one of the final products in this reaction. Mechanisms for the photoelectrochemical reduction of nitrite and nitrate are proposed.

PROMOTER EFFECT OF HALOGEN ANIONS ON THE DIRECT ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTION OF CYTOCHROME-C AT GOLD ELECTRODES

细胞色素c在咔唑修饰的金电极上的直接电化学

在生物体内,细胞色素c是一种电子载体,它能进行可逆的氧化还原反应,但在金属电极上的电化学反应却不可逆。1977年,Hill研究组发现,在4,4′-联吡啶存在时,细胞色素c在金电极上能进行准可逆的电化学反应。4,4′-联吡啶在细胞色素c电化学反应的过程中不起氧化还原反应而被称为促进剂。Hill等对50多种有机化合物的促进作用进行评价后提出,能加速细胞色素c电化学反应速率的促进剂分子至少应具有两个功能团。表面增强拉曼光

ELECTROCHEMICAL-BEHAVIOR OF N-METHYL-N'-HEXADECYLVIOLOGEN MONOLAYERS ON SILVER ELECTRODES - EFFECTS OF COUNTERIONS

N-Methyl-N'-hexadecylviologen (C16MV) has been the subject of several electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies which characterized the species present in various redox states for C16MV monolayers on silver electrode surfaces. Both self-assembled monolayers (SA) and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) transferred systems have been studied. These indicated inconsistencies regarding the presence or absence of splitting of the first reduction peak in its cyclic voltammogram (CV). The present study demonstrates the important influence of the specific anionic species present in the supporting electrolyte. Splitting may or may not take place, depending on the size and relative strength of the adsorption of specific anions contributed by the supporting electrolyte. Small, strongly adsorbing anions such as iodide produced peak splitting in the CV of C16MV monolayers; bulky but weakly adsorbing anions such as perchlorate may disrupt the ordered structure of monolayers but produce no splitting. Ancillary data provided by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was consistent with the electrochemical measurements.

REEVALUATION OF 2,2-BIPYRIDINE AND PYRAZINE AS PROMOTERS FOR DIRECT ELECTRON-TRANSFER BETWEEN CYTOCHROME-C AND METAL-ELECTRODES

Results from previous electrochemical studies have indicated that 2,2'-bipyridine and pyrazine do not function as promoters for heterogeneous electron transfer between cytochrome c and metal electrodes. Their lack of activity was attributed to the improper positioning of the two functional groups in 2,2'-bipyridine and the inefficient length of pyrazine. In the present study it was determined that both 2,2'-bipyridine and pyrazine act as promoters when self-absorbed over a sufficiently long dipping time or at roughened electrodes. The promoter characteristics of these two molecules were studied and compared with those of 4,4'-bipyridine. The difference in their promoter behavior appears to result primarily from their different strengths of adsorption and not because electrodes modified with 2,2'-bipyridine or pyrazine are unsuitable for accelerating direct electron transfer reactions in cytochrome c. These results have implications regarding the mechanism(s) of promoter effects in electrochemical reactions of cytochrome c.
