Resulting from the drastic increase of atmospheric CO 2 concentration day by day, global warming has become a serious environmental issue nowadays. The fixation of CO 2 to obtain desirable, economically competitive chemicals has recently received considerable attention. This work investigates the fixation of CO 2 along with three bromopyridines via a facile electrochemical method using a silver cathode to synthesize picolinic acids, which are important industrial and fine chemicals. Cyclic voltammetry is employed to investigate the cyclic voltammetric behaviour of bromopyridines. In addition, systematic study is conducted to study the relationships between the picolinic acids' yield and the electrolysis conditions and intrinsic parameters. The results show that the target picolinic acids' yields are strongly dependent on various conditions such as solvent, supporting electrolyte, current density, cathode material, charge passed, temperature and the nature of the substrates. Moreover, in the studied electrode materials such as Ag, Ni, Ti, Pt and GC, electrolysis and cyclic voltammetry show that Ag has a good electrocatalytic effect on the reduction and carboxylation of bromopyridine. This facile electrochemical route for fixation of CO 2 provides an indispensable reference for the conversion and utilization of CO 2 under mild conditions.

Novel binuclear Co(II) complexeswithN-functionalized cyclam N,N?,N",N???-tetrakis( 2-pyridylmethyl)tetraazacyclotetradecane (tpmc) and one of the aromatic monoor dicarboxylato ligands (benzoate, phthalate or isophthalate ions) were prepared. They were analyzed and studied by elemental analyses (C, H, N), electrical conductivities, VIS and IR spectroscopy andmagnetic as well as cyclic voltammetric measurements. In [Co2(C6H5COO)2tpmc]ClO4)2.3H2O, the benzoate ligands are most probably coordinated as chelates in the trans-position to each Co(II) and the macrocycle adopts a chair conformation. In the complexes [Co2(Y)tpmc]ClO4)2.zH2O, (Y = phthalate or i-phthalate dianizon, z = 2; 4) it is proposed that the isomeric dicarboxylates are bonded combined as bridges and chelates. The composition and the assumed geometries of the complexes are compared with the, earlier reported, corresponding Cu(II) complexes. Cyclic voltammetry measurements showed that the compounds are electrochemically stable.

A Co-doped ZnO layer was prepared by electrodeposition method on indium doped tin oxide (ITO) substrate using a cathodic reduction from nitrate medium with different doping percentages of cobalt. The bath temperature was controlled at 70 °C. The films were cathodically electrodeposited in a bath containing 5 mM Zn(NO3)2. 6H2O, while the source of Co is Co(NO3)2.6H2O where 0.1M KNO3 was used as supporting electrolyte. The nucleation and growth mechanism of Co-doped ZnO nuclei have been studied by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The cyclic voltammetry shows that the electrodeposition of ZnO and Co-doped ZnO at a negative potential around -1.0 V versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE) is a quasi-reversible reaction controlled by the diffusion process. Comparing current transients curves obtained by the chronoamperometric method with the theoretical curves of current density j versus t ½ allows us to say that the nucleation is 3D instantaneous, as shown in SEM analysis. The presence of Co does not modify the nucleation and growth mechanism. The XRD patterns show that the substitution of zinc by cobalt does not change the würtzite crystal structure, but the crystallite size decreases with the cobalt percentage. The transmittance spectra indicate that the Co-doped ZnO films are transparent in the visible range. The optical gap increases with the doping percentage of cobalt.

The VO2+/VO2+ redox couple commonly employed on the positive terminal of the all-vanadium redox flow battery was investigated at various states of charge (SOC) and H2SO4 supporting electrolyte concentrations. Electron paramagnetic resonance was used to investigate the VO2+ concentration and translational and rotational diffusion coefficient (DT, DR) in both bulk solution and Nafion membranes. Values of DT and DR were relatively unaffected by SOC and on the order of 10−10 m2s−1. Cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed that no significant changes to the redox mechanism were observed as the state of charge increased; however, the mechanism does appear to be affected by H2SO4 concentration. Electron transfer rate (k0) increased by an order of magnitude (10−6 ms−1 to 10−8 ms−1) for each H2SO4 concentrations investigated (1, 3 and 5 M). Analysis of cyclic voltammetry switching currents suggests that the technique might be suitable for fast determination of state of charge if the system is well calibrated. Membrane uptake and permeability measurements show that vanadium absorption and crossover is more dependent on both acid and vanadium concentration than state of charge. Vanadium diffusion in the membrane is about an order of magnitude slower (~10−11 m2s−1) than in solution (~10−10 m2s−1).

The emerging biomedical applications of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) require facile and efficient strategy to assess its interactions with cell membrane. In this study, an efficient and reproducible microwave assisted method was used to synthesize SeNPs with controllable size distributions. The physical properties of the emergent structures, such as morphology, structure, and size were studied. The antimicrobial applications of SeNPs were assessed by electrochemical analyses that entailed the systematic acquisition of cyclic voltammetry data. Our results demonstrate a straightforward method to predict the integrity of bacterial cell membranes following the administration of SeNP treatments.

The electroreduction of Zn2+ was studied in propylene carbonate (PC), acetonitrile (ACN), and hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) on mercury at various concentrations of tetraethylammonium perchlorate as a supporting electrolyte using dc polarography, cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and ac polarography. It was found that in PC and ACN the electroreduction process proceeds in one step. In HMPA, however, the electroreduction proceeds through a CEE mechanism in which a chemical reaction is followed by a charge transfer in two steps. The heterogeneous rate constants, corrected for the double layer effects, decrease with increase in the solvent donor number. The electroreduction process proceeds through the cation transfer mechanism.

A MgB2microparticles modified glassy carbon electrode (MgB2/GCE) was fabricated by adhering microparticles of MgB2onto the electrode surface of GCE. It was used as a working electrode for the detection of paracetamol in 0.1 M KH2PO4aqueous solution during cyclic voltammetry. Use of the MgB2/GCE the oxidation process of paracetamol with a current enhancement significantly by about 2.1 times. The detection limit of this modified electrode was found to be 30 μM. The sensitivity under conditions of cyclic voltammetry is significantly dependent on pH, supporting electrolyte, temperature and scan rate. The current enhancement observed in different electrolytic media varied in the following order: KH2PO4> KCl > K2SO4> KBr. Interestingly, the oxidation of paracetamol using modified GC electrode remain constant even after 15 cycling. It is therefore evident that the MgB2modifiedGCelectrode possesses some degree of stability. A slope of 0.52 dependent of scan rate on current indicates that the system undergoes diffusion-controlled process.

The electrochemical behavior of iodine extracted with an organic solvent at the liquid/liquid interface was studied using a new composite electrode. The effects of various solvents and supporting electrolyte on the electrochemical reaction of iodine were analyzed by cyclic voltammetric curves. The formation of a polar solvent complex of iodine and a strong donor solvent in organic solution was comfirmed by UV-VIS spectra. A possible mechanism was suggested based on experiments. This method makes it possible to measure heavy metal ion in solution indirectly.
