Electroactivity of hydrogen-nitrogen compounds in ionic liquids. platinum rotating-disk electrode voltammetric behavior of ammonia in the sodium-potassium nitrate equimolar melt

In the context of a systematic investigation on light-fuel electrodes in ionic solvents, the voltammetric behaviour of ammonia was studied in the (Na, K)NO3 equimolar melt at 518 K.Solutions containing NH3, NH3+ H2O, NH3+ NO–2 were tested by using platinum rotating-disc electrode systems. Mechanistic models for the electro-oxidation and electroreduction reactions of ammonia are suggested which fit the experimental electrochemical findings and, in particular, the constant value of the ratio between the electroreduction and the electro-oxidation limiting currents of ammonia. The diffusion coefficient of ammonia in the given experimental conditions was estimated to be 1.9 × 10–5 cm2 s–1 at the given temperature.The chemical behaviour of amide ions, which are involved in the ammonia electroreduction pathway, is described.‘Concealed limiting-current’ phenomena observed when ammonia is flowed in nitrite-containing melts are explained on the basis of acid–base reactions between each of these two species and the electro-oxidation product of the other.
