Using a rotating Hg-film disc electrode, the diffusion coefficient of the zincate ion in a 1–4 M aqueous solution of NaOH was measured. Experiments covered a temperature range from 25 to 40 °C. The experimental results are in agreement with the predictions of the Stokes–Einstein theory for diffusivity. The obtained Stokes radii decrease with increasing alkali concentration, but the ratio Dη/T is reasonably constant within the whole range of temperature investigated

A novel method for assessing the activity of a powdered water oxidation catalyst (WOC) is described, utilising an easily-prepared wireless rotating disc electrode of the WOC, thereby allowing its activity to be probed, via the observed kinetics of water oxidation by Ce(iv) ions, and so provide invaluable electrochemical information.

Pt/C and Pt/x-SnO2/C catalysts (where x is mass content of SnO2) were synthesized using a polyol method. Their kinetic properties towards oxygen reduction reaction were studied by a rotating disk electrode (RDE) technique in a temperature range from 1 to 50 °C. The SnO2 content of catalyst samples was 5 and 10 wt.%. A quick evaluation of the catalyst activity, electrochemical behavior and average number of transferred electrons were performed using the RDE technique. It has been shown that the use of x-SnO2 (through modification of the carbon support) in a binary system together with Pt does not reduce the catalyst activity in the temperature range of 1–30 °C. The temperature rising up to 50 °C resulted in composite catalyst activity reduction at about 30%.

The surface electrochemical response of the Co II/ Co I redox process of tetraaminophthalocyaninatocobalt(II) ( Co II TAPc ) adsorbed on a graphite electrode, was studied in the pH range of 2–13. In aqueous solution, the Co II TAPc adsorbed graphite electrode displays very strong electrocatalytic activity toward N 2 O reduction to N 2, a process which was examined by cyclic and rotating disk electrode voltammetries. The possible application of this Co II TAPc modified electrode in N 2 O analysis was explored.
