Influence of mixed 2-thiocytosine–ionic surfactants adsorption layers on kinetics and mechanism of Bi(III) ions electro reduction: use of the nanostructured R-AgLAFE

Abstract The nanostructured cyclically refreshable liquid amalgam film silver-based electrode (R-AgLAFE) was applied to study of the Bi(III) process in presence 2-thiocytosine and selected ionic surfactants. application voltammetrictechniques (SWV, CV, DC), as well electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) allowed determination kinetic which turn, defined catalytic effect also their correlation mixed 2-thiocytosine-CTAB 2-thiocytosine-SDS adsorption layers affects mechanism kinetics ions electro-reduction chlorate(VII). CTAB SDS change dynamics impact on electro reduction. In both cases, Bi–(RS–Hg) complex plays a key role, it is that dominates establishment equilibria studied layers.
