abstract

copper nanoparticles were fabricated by electro-reduction of cuso4solution in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab) cationic surfactant as an additive through potentiostatic method. the prepared copper nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem) and electrochemical methods. the sem images reveal that the nanoparticles with diameters at about 70 nm were uniformly dispersed on the electrode surface. copper oxide nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrode (nano cuo/mgce) was prepared by using consecutive potential cycling between -1.0 to 1.0v at 100mvs −1 in 0.1 m naoh solution. the electrochemical techniques such ascyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry showed that the nano cuo/mgce can catalyze the methanol oxidation in 0.1 m naoh solution. it has been found that in the course of an anodic potential sweep, the methanol oxidation follows the formation of cuiii and is catalyzed by this species through a mediated electron transfer. also, the modified electrode was stable for three weeks in dry conditions after repetitive measurements.

High Electrocatalytic Performance of CuCoNi@CNTs Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode towards Methanol Oxidation in Alkaline Medium

A novel non-precious multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs)—supported metal oxide electrocatalyst was developed for methanol electrooxidation in alkaline medium. The catalyst was fabricated by simultaneous electrodeposition of copper-cobalt-nickel ternary nanostructures (CuCoNi) on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with CNTs. The proposed electrode was characterized using X-ray diffraction ...

Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Hydrazine at Epinephrine Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode (EPMGCE).

A thin film of epinephrine (EP) was electrochemically deposited on the surface of glassy carbon electrode previously activated in NaHCO3 solution. The cyclic voltammograms of the modified electrode indicate that the surface confined EP are strongly dependent on the solution pH, as expected for quinone/hydroquinone functionalities. The EP-modified glassy carbon electrode exhibited...
