New Electrochemical Diagrams

The drawing of an ionic partition diagram requires voltammetric measurements at different pH values with equilibrated solutions. This means that a new electrochemical cell has to be prepared for each pH. Different approaches have been proposed to make the measurement more automated. One approach is based... 

While the electrochemical diagrams of the CU/CI2 EC and H2/CI2 GC given previously are very common, they have a serious problem of not showing a three-phase boundary, which commonly occurs in electrochemical cells. A new type of electrochemical diagram is proposed in this book and described here. 

Electrochemical diagrams show the materials (chemicals) and phases of electrochemical cell. The traditional diagrams have some challenges, so a new type of diagrams is suggested in this book. 

The traditional electrochemical diagrams cannot properly address the three-phase boundary problem. A new type of electrochemical diagrams is proposed to properly describe the three-phase boundary issue.

The flow diagram in Figure 10.4 is intended as a guide and is the way the author would normally approach a new HPLC analysis. Reversed-phase chromatography is assumed and this will mean evaporation of solvent and dissolution in mobile phase if using the hquid-liquid extraction path. No mention has been made of direct aqueous injection as the times that this technique can be employed in environmental analysis are few indeed. It can be seen that the author s choice of detector is fluorescence then electrochemical then UV.

A small portion of the electrochemical double layer at the clay/water (electrolyte) interface is shown to depict the microscopic stmc-ture and the potential drops involved, by analogy with the metal/electrolyte interface.

For the Daniel cell, there is no need using the new type of diagram because (1) only three species participate in both half-reactions, (2) two of these three, metal atoms and electrons, in each of the half-reactions are in the same phase, and (3) there are only two-phase boundaries in this electrochemical cell. The double vertical line in the diagram shows that the potential difference between ZnS04 (aq, 0.001 mol kg" ) and CUSO4 (aq, 0.005 mol kg" ), called the diffusion potential (see Chapter 5), is somehow eliminated.
