Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Glucose at Gold Nanoparticle-modified PFC electrodes in an Alkaline Solution

The electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose at Au nanoparticle-modified PFC electrodes has been studied using voltammetry technique in a (5 mM glucose + 0.1 M NaOH) solution. The PFC electrode didn't show any activity in the potential of interest (i.e. −0.8 V to 0.8 V). However, a very interesting positive catalytic effect was observed upon modification of the electrode surface with gold nanopart...

AN NMR STUDY OF IONIC SOLVATION OF ALKALINE EARTH CATIONS WITH DIMETHYLSULFOXIDE IN NITROMETHANE SOLUTION

A proton NMR method for the determination of the solvation numbers of alkaline earth cations with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in nitromethane as diluent is described. The method is based on the monitoring of the resonance frequency of DMSO protons as a function of DMSO to metal ion mole ratio while keeping the metal ion concentration constant. The average solvation number of cations at any...

SYNERGISTIC INFLUENCE OF NITRITE ON INHIBITION OF MILD STEEL CORROSION IN CHLORIDE CONTAMINATED ALKALINE SOLUTION

Corrosion behavior of mild steel in chloride contaminated alkaline solution has been studied for the period up to 100days. Saturated Calcium hydroxide solution was used as alkaline solution and 0.5M NaCl solution was used to accelerate mild steel corrosion. The Charge transfer resistance Rct, Current density Icorr and inhibition efficiency values were obtained from tafel polarization and electr...

The electro-oxidation of formate ions at a polycrystalline Pt electrode in alkaline solution: an in situ FTIR study.

This paper reports in situ FTIR studies on the oxidation of formate at polycrystalline Pt in aqueous KOH. Data are presented which show that hydroxyl species play a major role in the electro-oxidation of small organic molecules under alkaline conditions at polycrystalline Pt, and that a number of possible mechanistic pathways are possible. Small changes in experimental conditions appear to be a...
