One stable couple of waves corresponding to the redox of the carboxylic acid group, which was supported by the IR experiments, was observed. The electrode process involved four electrons, while the rate determining step was a one-electron reduction. The SWNT film modified electrode showed nice electrocatalytic behaviors toward the oxidations of some biomolecules such as dopamine, epinephrine and ascorbic acid.展开更多
The direct electrochemical synthesis of metal alkoxides [Ti(OEt)4, Ti(OPr-i)4, Ti(OBu)4, Ti(OEt)2(acac), Cu(OEt)2, Cu(OBu)2, Mg(OEt)2 and Ni(OEt)2] were studied by anode dissolution of metals in abso...The direct electrochemical synthesis of metal alkoxides [Ti(OEt)4, Ti(OPr-i)4, Ti(OBu)4, Ti(OEt)2(acac), Cu(OEt)2, Cu(OBu)2, Mg(OEt)2 and Ni(OEt)2] were studied by anode dissolution of metals in absolute ethanol in the presence of a conductive additives. The anodic behaviour of Ti electrode in ethanol was investigated by using cyclic voltammetry(CV). These metal alkoxides were characterized by FTIR spectra. The results show that direct electrochemical synthesis of metal alkoxides have a high current efficiency and electrolysis yield. These alkoxides have a high purity and can be directly used as the precursor of nanosize oxides prepared by sol-gel procedure. The anodic behaviour of Ti electrode in alcohol is markedly the feature of the pitting corrosion. The passivation of Ti anode would occur in the presence of trace water.展开更多
