Nitrophenyl groups covalently bonded to classy carbon and graphite surfaces have been detected and characterized by unenhanced Raman spectroscopy in combination with voltammetry and XPS [4.292]. Difference spectra from glassy carbon with and without nitrophenyl modification contained several Raman bands from the nitrophenyl group with a comparatively large signal-to-noise ratio (Fig. 4.58). Electrochemical modification of the adsorbed monolayer was observed spectrally, because this led to clear changes in the Raman spectrum.

Electrochemical window set at a threshold of 0.1 mA cm. The reference electrode was a silver wire immersed in 0.01 m AgBp4 in [EMIM][BF4] in a compartment separated by a Vicor frit, and the counter-electrode was a graphite rod.

A similar, but highly porous, vitreous carbon material—reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC)—has found widespread application for flow analysis and spectro-electrochemistry (25). As shown in Figure 4-10, RVC is an open-pore ( spongelike ) material such a network combines the electrochemical properties of glassy carbon with many structural and hydrodynamic advantages. These include a very high surface area ( 66 cm2 cm-3 for the 100-ppi grade), 90-97% void volume, and a low resistance to fluid flow.

For example, the final heat treatment temperatures In the manufacture will produce different electrochemical properties, even with the same surface treatments (2-4) since the structure and electrical property of glassy carbon depends on the temperature, as Indicated by the single crystal TEM patterns and by measurement of temperature dependent conductivity (5-6). On the other hand. It Is also well established that the electrochemical properties of carbon-based electrodes are markedly affected by surface treatments. 

The purpose of this paper Is 1) to describe the electrochemistry of ferrl-/ferro-cyanlde and the oxidation of ascorbic at an activated glassy carbon electrode which Is prepared by polishing the surface with alumina and followed only by thorough sonlcatlon 2) to describe experimental criteria used to bench-mark the presence of an activated electrode surface and 3) to present a preliminary description of the mechanism of the activation. The latter results from a synergistic Interpretation of the chemical, electrochemical and surface spectroscopic probes of the activated surface. Although the porous layer may be Important, Its role will be considered elsewhere. 

Glassy carbon is obtained by specifically controlled thermal decomposition of certain carbonaceous materials. Because of its almost ideally smooth, glasslike surface, it is the favorite material for laboratory studies demanding an exact knowledge of the true surface area. The electrochemical and other properties of glassy carbon depend on the temperature at which it was produced. 

If the electrochemical sensor does not require a permselective membrane, immobilization of the enzyme onto the surface of the electrode is possible. Glassy carbon graphite reticulated vitreous carbon and carbon paste electrodes...

Detection was with a 4-electrode glassy carbon array, with electrode 1 at 500 m V) electrode 2 at 700 mV, electrode 3 at 900 mV, and electrode 4 at 1100 mV. Note that at electrode 1, HVA, TRP, and 3-MT are not seen. At electrode 2, only TRP is not seen. A standard calomel electrode was used as reference. (Reprinted with permission from Hoogvliet, J.

Since model compounds reveal well-defined cyclic voltammograms for the Cr(CNR)g and Ni(CNR)g complexes (21) the origin of the electroinactivity of the polymers is not obvious. A possible explanation (12) is that the ohmic resistance across the interface between the electrode and polymer, due to the absence of ions within the polymer, renders the potentially electroactive groups electrochemically inert, assuming the absence of an electronic conduction path. It is also important to consider that the nature of the electrode surface may influence the type of polymer film obtained. A recent observation which bears on these points is that when one starts with the chromium polymer in the [Cr(CN-[P])6] + state, an electroactive polymer film may be obtained on a glassy carbon electrode. This will constitute the subject of a future paper. 

Electrocatalysis employing Co complexes as catalysts may have the complex in solution, adsorbed onto the electrode surface, or covalently bound to the electrode surface. This is exemplified with some selected examples. Cobalt(I) coordinatively unsaturated complexes of 2,2 -dipyridine promote the electrochemical oxidation of organic halides, the apparent rate constant showing a first order dependence on substrate concentration.1398,1399 Catalytic reduction of dioxygen has been observed on a glassy carbon electrode to which a cobalt(III) macrocycle tetraamine complex has been adsorbed.1400,1401...
