Reexamination of the Direct Electrochemical Reduction of S-Nitrosothiols.

ABSTRACT: We report here on the electrochemical reduction of S-nitrosothiol species (RSNO). Nitric oxide (NO) is the reported common product from electrochemically reduced RSNOs at physiological pH. However, studies here at pH 7.4 show that during the reduction of RSNOs (-0.6 V to -0.9 V, vs. Ag/AgCl), no significant amount of NO is detected. Gas analysis suggests RSNO are reduced to nitrous oxide (N2O) at pH 7.4 and can only be converted back to NO at more oxidizing voltages. Interestingly, at pH 4.0, a direct one-electron reduction of RSNOs appears to occur and generates significant amounts of NO from RSNO species.

Direct Electrochemical Addressing of Immobilized Alcohol Dehydrogenase for the Heterogeneous Bioelectrocatalytic Reduction of Butyraldehyde to Butanol.

Project description:Modified electrodes using immobilized alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes for the efficient electroreduction of butyraldehyde to butanol are presented as an important step for the utilization of CO2-reduction products. Alcohol dehydrogenase was immobilized, embedded in an alginate-silicate hybrid gel, on a carbon felt (CF) electrode. The application of this enzyme to the reduction of an aldehyde to an alcohol with the aid of the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), in analogy to the final step in the natural reduction cascade of CO2 to alcohol, has been already reported. However, the use of such enzymatic reductions is limited because of the necessity of providing expensive NADH as a sacrificial electron and proton donor. Immobilization of such dehydrogenase enzymes on electrodes and direct pumping of electrons into the biocatalysts offers an easy and efficient way for the biochemical recycling of CO2 to valuable chemicals or alternative synthetic fuels. We report the direct electrochemical addressing of immobilized alcohol dehydrogenase for the reduction of butyraldehyde to butanol without consumption of NADH. The selective reduction of butyraldehyde to butanol occurs at room temperature, ambient pressure and neutral pH. Production of butanol was detected by using liquid-injection gas chromatography and was estimated to occur with Faradaic efficiencies of around 40?%.

Online electrochemical reduction of both inter- and intramolecular disulfide bridges in immunoglobulins

Project description:Cysteine disulfide bridges can be reduced by chemical methods, like an incubation with DTT. However, reduction with an electrochemical method has also been demonstrated. Electrochemical reduction can be implemented online, after LC separation and before mass spectrometry. For the study of antibody molecules, reduction of the intermolecular disulfide bridges between heavy and light chains has been demonstrated in literature. However, the reduction of intramolecular disulfide bridges has remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate the online electrochemical reduction of a therapeutic monoclonal antibody. The complete reduction of these molecules will facilitate the study of recombinant or natural antibodies by MS and MS/MS.

Electrochemical reduction of acetonitrile to ethylamine.

Project description:Electrifying chemical manufacturing using renewable energy is an attractive approach to reduce the dependence on fossil energy sources in chemical industries. Primary amines are important organic building blocks; however, the synthesis is often hindered by the poor selectivity because of the formation of secondary and tertiary amine byproducts. Herein, we report an electrocatalytic route to produce ethylamine selectively through an electroreduction of acetonitrile at ambient temperature and pressure. Among all the electrocatalysts, Cu nanoparticles exhibit the highest ethylamine Faradaic efficiency (~96%) at -0.29 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. Under optimal conditions, we achieve an ethylamine partial current density of 846 mA cm-2. A 20-hour stable performance is demonstrated on Cu at 100 mA cm-2 with an 86% ethylamine Faradaic efficiency. Moreover, the reaction mechanism is investigated by computational study, which suggests the high ethylamine selectivity on Cu is due to the moderate binding affinity for the reaction intermediates.

Simple electrochemical reduction of nitrones to amines.

Project description:The use of electricity allows the reduction of nitrones containing aromatic and heteroaromatic rings to the corresponding amines. The main advantage of this protocol relies on the fact that only electrons are needed, avoiding the use of different chemicals and harsh procedures, something that reinforces some green aspects. The conversion tolerates different moieties and a large variety of functional groups. In addition, this electrolysis can be performed on a simple undivided beaker-type cell with constant current conditions.

Direct Measurement of S-Nitrosothiols with an Orbitrap Fusion Mass Spectrometer: S-Nitrosoglutathione Reductase as a Model Protein.

Project description:Recent studies suggest cysteine S-nitrosation of S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) could regulate protein redox homeostasis. "Switch" assays enable discovery of putatively S-nitrosated proteins. However, with few exceptions, researchers have not examined the kinetics and biophysical consequences of S-nitrosation. Methods to quantify protein S-nitrosothiol (SNO) abundance and formation kinetics would bridge this mechanistic gap and allow interpretation of the consequences of specific modifications, as well as facilitate development of specific S-nitrosation inhibitors. Here, we describe a rapid assay to estimate protein SNO abundance with intact protein electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Originally designed using recombinant GSNOR, these methods are applicable to any purified protein to test for or further study nitrosatable cysteines.

Electrochemical oxygen reduction catalysed by Ni3(hexaiminotriphenylene)2.

Project description:Control over the architectural and electronic properties of heterogeneous catalysts poses a major obstacle in the targeted design of active and stable non-platinum group metal electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction. Here we introduce Ni3(HITP)2 (HITP=2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11-hexaiminotriphenylene) as an intrinsically conductive metal-organic framework which functions as a well-defined, tunable oxygen reduction electrocatalyst in alkaline solution. Ni3(HITP)2 exhibits oxygen reduction activity competitive with the most active non-platinum group metal electrocatalysts and stability during extended polarization. The square planar Ni-N4 sites are structurally reminiscent of the highly active and widely studied non-platinum group metal electrocatalysts containing M-N4 units. Ni3(HITP)2 and analogues thereof combine the high crystallinity of metal-organic frameworks, the physical durability and electrical conductivity of graphitic materials, and the diverse yet well-controlled synthetic accessibility of molecular species. Such properties may enable the targeted synthesis and systematic optimization of oxygen reduction electrocatalysts as components of fuel cells and electrolysers for renewable energy applications.

Electrochemical Mechanism of Tellurium Reduction in Alkaline Medium.

Project description:A systematic electrochemical study was conducted to investigate the reduction of tellurium (Te) in alkaline solutions. The effect of various parameters, including tellurite ion concentration, applied potential, and pH was investigated by both linear sweep voltammograms (LSVs) and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). EQCM was essential to understand the reduction of Te(0) to soluble Te22- (-I) or Te2-(-II). The Tafel slopes for two Te reduction reactions [i.e., Te(IV) to Te(0) and Te(0) to Te(-I)] indicated that the electrochemical reduction of Te is strongly dependent on solution pH, whereas it is independent of the concentration of TeO32- . At relatively weaker alkaline solutions (i.e., pH ≤ 12.5), the discharge of Te(OH)3+ was determined to be the rate-limiting step during the reduction of Te(IV) to Te(0). For the reduction of Te(0) to Te(-I), the reaction follows a four-step reaction, which consisted of two discharge and two electrochemical reactions. The second discharge reaction was the rate-limiting step when pH ≤12.5 with the Tafel slope of 120 mV/decade. At a higher pH of 14.7, the Tafel slope was shifted to be 40 mV/decade, which indicated that the rate-limiting step was altered to the second electrochemical reaction. Te(0) deposits were found either on the surface of an electrode or in the solution depending on pH due to the different rate-limiting reactions, revealing that pH was a key parameter to dictate the morphology of the Te(0) deposits in alkaline media.

Active hydrogen boosts electrochemical nitrate reduction to ammonia.

Project description:Electrochemical nitrate reduction to ammonia is a promising alternative strategy to the traditional Haber-Bosch process but suffers from a low Faradaic efficiency and limited ammonia yield due to the sluggish multi-electron/proton-involved steps. Herein, we report a typical hollow cobalt phosphide nanosphere electrocatalyst assembled on a self-supported carbon nanosheet array synthesized with a confinement strategy that exhibits an extremely high ammonia yield rate of 8.47 mmol h-1 cm-2 through nitrate reduction reaction, which is highly superior to previously reported values to our knowledge. In situ experiments and theoretical investigations reveal that the dynamic equilibrium between the generation of active hydrogen on cobalt phosphide and its timely consumption by nitrogen intermediates leads to a superior ammonia yield with a high Faradaic efficiency. This unique insight based on active hydrogen equilibrium provides new opportunities for large-scale ammonia production through electrochemical techniques and can be further used for carbon dioxide capture.

Understanding trends in electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction rates.

Project description:Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction to fuels presents one of the great challenges in chemistry. Herein we present an understanding of trends in electrocatalytic activity for carbon dioxide reduction over different metal catalysts that rationalize a number of experimental observations including the selectivity with respect to the competing hydrogen evolution reaction. We also identify two design criteria for more active catalysts. The understanding is based on density functional theory calculations of activation energies for electrochemical carbon monoxide reduction as a basis for an electrochemical kinetic model of the process. We develop scaling relations relating transition state energies to the carbon monoxide adsorption energy and determine the optimal value of this descriptor to be very close to that of copper.

Direct electrochemical studies of hydrogenase and CO dehydrogenase.

Project description:The reduction potentials of two relatively high-molecular-mass enzymes were determined directly at an edge pyrolytic graphite electrode by using square-wave voltammetry. The equilibrium reduction potential versus standard hydrogen electrode was determined for Clostridium pasteurianum hydrogenase I (E'0 = -377 +/- 10 mV; molecular mass 60 kDa) and Rhodospirillum rubrum carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (E'0 = -418 +/- 7 mV; molecular mass 62 kDa). The reduction potential of each enzyme was pH-independent, and one electron was transferred per redox centre. The reduction potential was determined to be identical for the CO dehydrogenase, semi-apo-(CO dehydrogenase), and CO dehydrogenase with carbonyl sulphide (COS) or cyanide bound. The electron-transferring efficiency of CO dehydrogenase was affected by two inhibitors, COS and cyanide, as indicated by a diminished analytic current.
