Abstract: Ion association of 1,2-naphthosemiquinone with the alkali metal cations in acetonitrile has been comprehensively studied by the use of ESR, absorption spectroscopy, polarography and with MO calculation. A continuous flow electrolysis system with a glassy carbon column electrode has been developed for the rapid quantitative preparation of organic free radicals, whose ESR spectrum or absorption spectrum was observed in situ. The formation constants of the ion pair with K+, Na+, and Li+ were estimated as 103.2, 104.5, and 108.0, respectively. By the addition of alkali metal cations, the half-wave potentials shifted to more positive potential in the order of K+

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of hydrogen evolution in the zinc chloride battery is investigated experimentally with special respect to the magnitude of the phenomenon under various and supporting electrolyte concentrations, pH, current density, and electrolyte purity.
Abstract: The problem of hydrogen evolution in the zinc chloride battery is investigated experimentally with special respect to the magnitude of the phenomenon under various and supporting electrolyte concentrations, pH, current density, and electrolyte purity. Metallic impurities of low hydrogen overvoltage can be responsible for accelerated hydrogen evolution during charge and discharge. In addition, the morphology and porosity of the zinc deposit and the presence of dendrites affect the magnitude of hydrogen evolution. Low hydrogen evolution rates are observed on rough and dendritic deposits and vice versa. Two methods of decreasing hydrogen evolution are presented: (i) pretreatment of the electrolyte with zinc particles, and (ii) potentiostatic deposition of metallic impurities in flow‐through porous‐graphite electrode above the zinc deposition potential.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a gold disk working electrode was used for the trace determination of mercury(II) ion, theoretical predictions were verified and the detection limit was found to be ca. 0.5 nM under the preelectrolysis conditions of 10 min at 0 V vs. Ag/AgCl.
Abstract: Anodic stripping semidifferential electroanalysis using a gold disk working electrode was proposed for the trace determination of mercury(II) ion, theoretical predictions being verified. A gold electrode was steeped in aqua regia, activated electrochemically before use, and rotated during the course of pre-electrolysis. A hydroxylamine hydrochloride medium was selected as supporting electrolyte. The detection limit was found to be ca. 0.5 nM under the pre-electrolysis conditions of 10 min at 0 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The relative standard deviation was ca. ±4% for the measurement at 2 nM level. Removal of the oxygen dissolved in sample solutions was not necessary. Experiments were carried out to examine the feasibility of the technique to environmental analysis. The method consists of only the following procedure: sample acidification, standard mercury(II) ion addition, UV irradiation pretreatment, and medium exchange for stripping. It was successfully applied to river water and sea water to separately evaluate io...

TL;DR: In this paper, the change of interfacial tension induced by the flow of an electric current through a nitrobenzene-water interface was studied experimentally and theoretically for both ac and dc.
Abstract: The change of interfacial tension induced by the flow of an electric current through a nitrobenzene-water interface was studied experimentally and theoretically for both ac and dc. The nitrobenzene and water phases contain some hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, and a supporting electrolyte (or KBr in the water phase or hexadecyltrimethylammonium picrate in nitrobenzene). The overpotential measured while an electric current flowed through the interface was zero. Concentration changes near the interface were observed, and compared with theory. The interfacial transport number which arises from these measurements as an adjustable parameter is compared with transference numbers in bulk.

TL;DR: In this article, a graft copolymerization technique was developed for initiating a graft co-polymerization electrochemically, where a copoly(styrene/vinylbenzophenone) linear copolymers was prepared to serve as the electroactive starting material.
Abstract: A technique has been developed for initiating a graft copolymerization electrochemically. A copoly(styrene/vinylbenzophenone) linear copolymer was prepared to serve as the electroactive starting material. The benzophenone sites on this molecule are readily activated at the cathode. Macroradical ions result from the direct transfer of electrons to benzophenone groups of the electroactive backbone polymer. In solution in N,N-dimethylformamide with tetraethylammonium perchlorate (TEAP) as supporting electrolyte the passage of current produced a dark blue solution similar to that observed with radical anions obtained with benzophenone directly. When monomer such as acrylonitrile or methyl methacrylate was added, a graft copolymer was formed. Electrolysis of solutions of the backbone polymer in tetrahydrofurn (THF), with sodium tetraphenylboride as supporting electrolyte, produced relatively stable, persistent macroradical anions and, under appropriate conditions, the reddish-violet macrodianions. Both types initiated graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile and methyl methacrylate. Graft copolymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), infrared (IR), and solvent extraction. High grafting efficiency (i. e., free from homopolymer) can be obtained under appropriate conditions. Suitable mechanisms are proposed, compared, and discussed.

Abstract: The potential-sweep voltammograms of solvated electrons in methylamine containing KI as the supporting electrolyte demonstrate the coexistence of one- and two-electron species in equilibrium. The it1/2 vs. log t curve obtained with potential-step chronoamperometry exhibits a transient part between two plateaux. The analysis of this curve yields the approximate value of 102 s−1 for the first-order rate constant of the dissociation of the two-electron species, K−.

TL;DR: In this paper, the rate of electron transfer of ferricyanide-ferrocyanide ion couple at the platinum electrode was investigated under high pressure up to 1000 Kg/cm−2.
Abstract: The rate of electron transfer of ferricyanide-ferrocyanide ion couple at the platinum electrode was investigated under high pressure up to 1000 Kg/cm−2. In order to obtain the rate constant, the variation of exchange current density was measureed as a function of applied square current frequency by using cyclic galvanostatic method. In the presence of alkali metal halide as supporting electrolyte, the rate constant decreased with a increase of hydrostatic pressure. As a result, an activation volume for the electron transfer of the system was calculated as +13 cc/mol. (1 M- KC1). It could be explained by a kind of association of ferricyanide (or ferrocyanide) ion with potassium ion at the transition state of electron transfer.
