AN ELECTROCHEMICAL MICROSENSOR FOR CHLORIDE

The potential-response of a microdisk electrode made with a chloride-doped polypyrrole (PPY) film on a carbon fibre (CF) has been examined. The effect of the polymerization conditions on the response characteristics is discussed. The optimum conditions for preparing the electrode are: cycling potential from +0.8 to +1.0 V in 0.1-0.2M pyrrole (Py) containing 0.1M LiCl, electropolymerization time 15-20 min. The electrode gives a Nernstian response of 56-58 mV/pCl and a detection limit of 3.6 x 10(-5)M chloride. It has the advantages of low resistance, short conditioning time and fast response. It has been used satisfactorily for detection of chloride in serum.

ELECTROCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION OF LIQUID/LIQUID SYSTEMS USING VARIOUS ORGANIC SOLVENTS

The potential windows of the system water/pure solvent (W/P) and water/solvent mixtures(W/S) have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry with solvents whose dielectric constants lie between 5.87 and 34.82. In the presence of LiCI in the aqueous phase and tetrabutytammoniumtetraphenylborate(TBATPB) in the organic phase, the systems water/allyl iso-thiocyanate (W/AIT) and water/nitrobensene (W/NB) show a same wide epotential window. thermodynamic parameters of ion transfer W/AIT interface were determined. In systems of W/P and V/S the influence solvent effect on the standard gibbs energies of transfer of was discussed.

ELECTROCHEMICAL-BEHAVIOR OF HETEROPOLY PHOSPHOMOLYBDOVANADATE ANIONS AT THE LIQUID LIQUID INTERFACE

Electrochemical transfer behavier of the V~vMo_(11)-V_5~vMo_7 heteropolyanions at the water/nitrobenzene interface has been investigated by using cyclic voltammetry. The effect of the solution acidity on the transfer behavior and the stable pH range of heteropolyanions were observed. Mixed melybdovanadate anions are more stable than 12-molybdophosphoric acid, however, the stability of the former decreases with increasing number of vanadium atoms. The main transfer species within the "potential window" has t...

INVESTIGATION OF ELECTROCHEMICAL-BEHAVIOR OF ARS ON GC ELECTRODE BY SPECTROELECTROCHEMISTRY WITH LOPTLC

The electrochemical behavior of Alizarin Red S(ARS) on GC electrode has been studied in acidic condition by spectroelectrochemistry with LOPTLC. It was found that there are three electrochemical reactions and followed by a chemical reaction of ARS in the potential range of 1.00——0.60V. The mechanism of electrode reactions has been studied and suggested based on the informations obtained from electrochemical and insitu spectroelectrochemical experiments.

A NEW KIND OF FLOW-THROUGH ELECTROCHEMICAL DETECTOR USING CARBON-FIBER ELECTRODE FOR LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY

An electrochemical detector which was constracted by using a carbon fibre electrode in a flow-through cell was connected with a liquid chromatographic column. Thus a sensitive,
