Abstract
In recent years, electrochemical 2-electron oxygen reduction reaction became an important research topic because of the quest for a sustainable method of H2O2 production. The biphasic H2O2 generation with electrochemical recycling of the electron donor is one of the possibilities and was earlier studied employing an organic phase as a binder with a carbon paste electrode. Here, we report that H2O2 can be generated at the interface formed by electron donor (decamethylferrocene) solution in supported molecular solvent (2-nitrophenyloctyl ether) or ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide) film deposited on an indium tin oxide electrode and acidic aqueous solution. The efficiency of this reaction was estimated on the basis of electrochemical detection of H2O2 at a Pt microelectrode tip approaching the liquid|liquid interface. It was shown that its yield is higher when the electron donor is electrochemically recycled.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry is devoted to all aspects of solid-state chemistry and solid-state physics in electrochemistry.
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry publishes papers on all aspects of electrochemistry of solid compounds, including experimental and theoretical, basic and applied work. It equally publishes papers on the thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical reactions if at least one actively participating phase is solid. Also of interest are articles on the transport of ions and electrons in solids whenever these processes are relevant to electrochemical reactions and on the use of solid-state electrochemical reactions in the analysis of solids and their surfaces.
The journal covers solid-state electrochemistry and focusses on the following fields: mechanisms of solid-state electrochemical reactions, semiconductor electrochemistry, electrochemical batteries, accumulators and fuel cells, electrochemical mineral leaching, galvanic metal plating, electrochemical potential memory devices, solid-state electrochemical sensors, ion and electron transport in solid materials and polymers, electrocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry, corrosion of solid materials, solid-state electroanalysis, electrochemical machining of materials, electrochromism and electrochromic devices, new electrochemical solid-state synthesis.
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry makes the professional in research and industry aware of this swift progress and its importance for future developments and success in the above-mentioned fields.
