Thin catalyst layers on a GC rotating disk electrode (RDE) or a rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) serve for studies of ORR kinetics. In order to separate the kinetic current from the measured current j, Schmidt and co-workers [Schmidt et al., 1998b] corrected the latter for the influence of oxygen diffusion in the aqueous electrolyte and in the polymer film using the foUowing equation ... 

In the most common approach, a water-insoluble metaUoporphyrin is deposited on the surface of a rotating disk electrode (RDE) or on the disk of a rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE Fig. 18.7a) as a film of poorly defined morphology, either by spontaneous adsorption from a solution of the catalyst in an organic solvent or by evaporation of an aliquot of such a solution onto the electrode. It is impossible to know the...

A number of investigators have reported the detection of protons released from the de-prontonation step of coupled products during the electropolymerization. Bruckenstein and Sharkey [76] observed protons released during the polymerization reaction of PyH and azulene using rotating ring-disk electrodes. A similar observation was made by Beck and Oberst [77], who monitored the proton/electron stoichiometry, the accuracy of which was found to be limited by the occlusion of acid in the pores of a growing polymer film. 

Figure 1.16. Cyclic voltammograms under N2 (A,C) and rotating ring-disk current-potential curves in aqueous air-saturated pH 7 buffers (B,D) of 2FeCu and 2Fe-only directly adsorbed on a graphite electrode (A,B) and as a 0.7% (mol) suspension in a 1-/rm-thick phosphadytilcholine film on the electrode surface (C.D). The rapid charge transfer within the films of adsorbed catalysts is supported by the linear dependence of the peak currents on the scan rate. The non-ideal shape of the peaks is due to cooperative behavior of the catalytic films as a whole. The Fe / and Cu / potentials are the same in the adsorbed catalysts (A) but separate when the catalysts are in the lipid film (C). Autooxidation of the catalyst-02 complex is the major source of ring-detectable byproducts (see below) and accounts for the potential-dependent selectivity of electrode-adsorbed catalysts (B). The measured collection efficiency of the ring electrode toward H2O2 in these experiments was 15%.
