Understanding the Voltammetry of Bulk CO Electrooxidation in Neutral Media through Combined SECM Measurements.

ABSTRACT: Recently, the bulk electrooxidation of CO on gold or platinum has been used to detect CO produced during CO2 reduction in neutral media. The CO bulk oxidation voltammetry may show two distinct peaks depending on the reaction conditions, which up to now have not been understood. We have used scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to probe CO oxidation and pH in the diffusion layer during CO2 reduction. Our results show that the two different peaks are due to diffusion limitation by two different species, namely, CO and OH-. We find that between pH 7 and 11, CO oxidation by water and OH- gives rise to the first and second peak observed in the voltammetry, respectively. Additional rotating disc experiments showed that specifically in this pH range the current of the second peak is diffusion limited by the OH- concentration, since it is lower than the CO concentration.

Characterization of Inherently Chiral Electrosynthesized Oligomeric Films by Voltammetry and Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM).

Project description:A voltammetric and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) investigation was performed on an inherently chiral oligomer-coated gold electrode to establish its general properties (i.e., conductivity and topography), as well as its ability to discriminate chiral electroactive probe molecules. The electroactive monomer (S)-2,2'-bis(2,2'-bithiophene-5-yl)-3,3'-bibenzothiophene ((S)-BT2T4) was employed as reagent to electrodeposit, by cyclic voltammetry, the inherently chiral oligomer film of (S)-BT2T4 (oligo-(S)-BT2T4) onto the Au electrode surface (resulting in oligo-(S)-BT2T4-Au). SECM measurements, performed in either feedback or competition mode, using the redox mediators [Fe(CN)6]4- and [Fe(CN)6]3- in aqueous solutions, and ferrocene (Fc), (S)-FcEA, (R)-FcEA and rac-FcEA (FcEA is N,N-dimethyl-1-ferrocenylethylamine) in CH3CN solutions, indicated that the oligomer film, as produced, was uncharged. The use of [Fe(CN)6]3- allowed establishing that the oligomer film behaved as a porous insulating membrane, presenting a rather rough surface. This was inferred from both the approach curves and linear and bidimensional SECM scans, which displayed negative feedback effects. The oligomer film acquired semiconducting or fully conducting properties when the Au electrode was biased at potential more positive than 0.6 V vs. Ag|AgCl|KCl. Under the latter conditions, the approach curves displayed positive feedback effects. SECM measurements, performed in competition mode, allowed verifying the discriminating ability of the oligo-(S)-BT2T4 film towards the (S)-FcEA and (R)-FcEA redox mediators, which confirmed the results obtained by cyclic voltammetry. SECM linear scans indicated that the enantiomeric discriminating ability of the oligo-(S)-BT2T4 was even across its entire surface.

Electrooxidation of Formamidine Disulfide Simultaneously Investigated by On-Line High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Cyclic Voltammetry.

Project description:The electro-oxidation of formamidine disulfide, an important sulfur-containing compound, was simultaneously investigated with on-line high-performance liquid chromatography and cyclic voltammetry. Using a home-made microporous sampler located at the electrode interface, the solution on the electrode surface was in situ sampled and analyzed. The electrochemical scanning was synchronously performed, which allowed the electro-oxidation products to be detected at a given potential. The main products on the surface of platinum electrode were found to be thiourea, formamidine sulfinic acid, cyanamide, and elemental sulfur. Forced convection arising from the sampling played an important role in the electrochemical oxidation. The extraction of electrode surface solution promoted the renewal of reactant and its intermediates, which induced the change of cyclic voltammetry curve. The forced convection also contributed to the redox peak current of the species on the cyclic voltammetry curves through the change of concentration of reactant and its intermediates. This technique can help to explore the reaction mechanism of complex electrochemical reactions.

Higher sensitivity dopamine measurements with faster-scan cyclic voltammetry.

Project description:Fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) with carbon-fiber microelectrodes has been successfully used to detect catecholamine release in vivo. Generally, waveforms with anodic voltage limits of 1.0 or 1.3 V (vs Ag/AgCl) are used for detection. The 1.0 V excursion provides good temporal resolution but suffers from a lack of sensitivity. The 1.3 V excursion increases sensitivity but also increases response time, which can blur the detection of neurochemical events. Here, the scan rate was increased to improve the sensitivity of the 1.0 V excursion while maintaining the rapid temporal response. However, increasing scan rate increases both the desired faradaic current response and the already large charging current associated with the voltage sweep. Analog background subtraction was used to prevent the analog-to-digital converter from saturating from the high currents generated with increasing scan rate by neutralizing some of the charging current. In vitro results with the 1.0 V waveform showed approximately a 4-fold increase in signal-to-noise ratio with maintenance of the desired faster response time by increasing scan rate up to 2400 V/s. In vivo, stable stimulated release was detected with an approximate 4-fold increase in peak current. The scan rate of the 1.3 V waveform was also increased, but the signal was unstable with time in vitro and in vivo. Adapting the 1.3 V triangular wave into a sawhorse design prevented signal decay and increased the faradaic response. The use of the 1.3 V sawhorse waveform decreased the detection limit of dopamine with FSCV to 0.96 ± 0.08 nM in vitro and showed improved performance in vivo without affecting the neuronal environment. Electron microscopy showed dopamine sensitivity is in a quasi-steady state with carbon-fiber microelectrodes scanned to potentials above 1.0 V.

On-Chip Cyclic Voltammetry Measurements Using a Compact 1024-Electrode CMOS IC.

Project description:Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) microelectrode arrays integrate amplifier arrays with on-chip electrodes, offering high-throughput platforms for electrochemical sensing with high spatial and temporal resolution. Such devices have been developed for highly parallel constant voltage amperometric detection of transmitter release from multiple cells with single-vesicle resolution. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) is an electrochemical method that applies voltage waveforms, which provides additional information about electrode properties and about the nature of analytes. A 16-channel, 64-electrode-per-channel CMOS integrated circuit (IC) fabricated in a 0.5 μm CMOS process for CV is demonstrated. Each detector consists of only 11 transistors and an integration capacitor with a unit dimension of 0.0015 mm2. The device was postfabricated using Pt as the working electrode material with a shifted electrode design, which makes it possible to redefine the size and the location of working electrodes. The system incorporating cell-sized (8 μm radius) microelectrodes was validated with dopamine injection tests and CV measurements of potassium ferricyanide at a 1 V/s scanning rate. The cyclic voltammograms were in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions. The technology enables rigorous characterization of electrode performance for the application of CMOS microelectrode arrays in low-noise amperometric measurements of quantal transmitter release as well as other biosensing applications.

Electrochemistry in Media of Exceptionally Low Polarity: Voltammetry with a Fluorous Solvent.

Project description:This work demonstrates the first cyclic voltammetry in a perfluorocarbon solvent without use of a cosolvent. The novel electrolyte tetrabutylammonium tetrakis[3,5-bis(perfluorohexyl)phenyl]borate (NBu(4)BArF(104); 80 mM) allows for voltammetry of ferrocene in perfluoro(methylcyclohexane) by lowering the specific resistance to Ω268 k cm at 20.8 °C. Despite significant solution resistance, the resulting voltammograms can be fitted quantitatively without difficulty. The thus determined standard electron transfer rate constant, k°, for the oxidation of ferrocene in perfluoro(methylcyclohexane) is somewhat smaller than for many solvents commonly used in electrochemistry, but can be explained readily as the result of the viscosity and size of the solvent using Marcus theory. Dielectric dispersion spectroscopy verifies that addition of NBu(4)BArF(104) does not significantly raise the overall polarity of the solution over that of neat perfluoro(methylcyclohexane).

Dissipative solitons and backfiring in the electrooxidation of CO on Pt.

Project description:Collisions of excitation pulses in dissipative systems lead usually to their annihilation. In this paper, we report electrochemical experiments exhibiting more complex pulse interaction with collision survival and pulse splitting, phenomena that have rarely been observed experimentally and are only poorly understood theoretically. Using spatially resolved in-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in the attenuated total reflection configuration, we monitored reaction pulses during the electrochemical oxidation of CO on Pt thin film electrodes in a flow cell. The system forms quasi-1d pulses that align parallel to the flow and propagate perpendicular to it. The pulses split once in a while, generating a second solitary wave in the backward moving direction. Upon collision, the waves penetrate each other in a soliton-like manner. These unusual pulse dynamics could be reproduced with a 3-component reaction-diffusion-migration model with two inhibitor species, one of them exhibiting a long-range spatial coupling. The simulations shed light on existence criteria of such dissipative solitons.

Neutral bots probe political bias on social media.

Project description:Social media platforms attempting to curb abuse and misinformation have been accused of political bias. We deploy neutral social bots who start following different news sources on Twitter, and track them to probe distinct biases emerging from platform mechanisms versus user interactions. We find no strong or consistent evidence of political bias in the news feed. Despite this, the news and information to which U.S. Twitter users are exposed depend strongly on the political leaning of their early connections. The interactions of conservative accounts are skewed toward the right, whereas liberal accounts are exposed to moderate content shifting their experience toward the political center. Partisan accounts, especially conservative ones, tend to receive more followers and follow more automated accounts. Conservative accounts also find themselves in denser communities and are exposed to more low-credibility content.

Tonic Serotonin Measurements In Vivo Using N-Shaped Multiple Cyclic Square Wave Voltammetry.

Project description:Here, we present the development of a novel voltammetric technique, N-shaped multiple cyclic square wave voltammetry (N-MCSWV) and its application in vivo. It allows quantitative measurements of tonic extracellular levels of serotonin in vivo with mitigated fouling effects. N-MCSWV enriches the electrochemical information by generating high dimensional voltammograms, which enables high sensitivity and selectivity against 5-hydroindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), dopamine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), histamine, ascorbic acid, norepinephrine, adenosine, and pH. Using N-MCSWV, in combination with PEDOT:Nafion-coated carbon fiber microelectrodes, a tonic serotonin concentration of 52 ± 5.8 nM (n = 20 rats, ±SEM) was determined in the substantia nigra pars reticulata of urethane-anesthetized rats. Pharmacological challenges with dopaminergic, noradrenergic, and serotonergic synaptic reuptake inhibitors supported the ability of N-MCSWV to selectively detect tonic serotonin levels in vivo. Overall, N-MCSWV is a novel voltammetric technique for analytical quantification of serotonin. It offers continuous monitoring of changes in tonic serotonin concentrations in the brain to further our understanding of the role of serotonin in normal behaviors and psychiatric disorders.

Understanding news engagement on social media: A media repertoire approach.

Project description:This study promotes the news repertoire framework as an analytical approach best suited for studying news engagement on social media (SM), considering its multifaceted nature. To demonstrate the theoretical benefits of this proposal, the study seeks to (1) identify user profiles based on SM news viewing and sharing, and news consumption on other platforms; (2) determine profile predictors; and (3) evaluate their possible outcomes. A panel study (N = 1786) demonstrated the emergence of identifiable profiles, attributed to differences in SM use and political interest. In addition, profiles embodied different effects on political participation over time. A second study (N = 86) was conducted thereafter, in which users' Facebook news feed use was analyzed to determine differences in news supply according to profiles. Findings that could not have been achieved using the more common unidimensional news consumption methods are discussed in light of new theoretical gains provided by the repertoire approach.
