A new type of Prussian blue modified electrode is described. The Prussian blue modified electrode is electrochemically prepared in a solution of ferric‐ferricyanide. The amount of Prussian blue on electrodes such as platinum, glassy carbon, and
SnO2
is easily controlled by changing the current density, the electrode potential, and the time of the electrolysis. The waves observed at +0.2 and +1.0V vs. SCE are due to the reduction and the oxidation of the ferric part and of the ferrous part in the Prussian blue crystal,
KFeIIIFeII false(CN)6
or
Fe4IIIfalse[FeII false(CN)6]3
, respectively. This electrode exhibits excellent stability in aqueous solution. A spectroelectrochemical property of the modified electrode is also described.
An electrochromic display based on a Prussian-blue-modified electrode is described. Prussian blues are deposited electrochemically in a solution of ferric-ferricyanide. Current flow at +0.2 and +1.0 V is due to the reduction of Fe3+ and the oxidation of Fe2+ in the Prussian-blue coating, respectively. The result is a display that switches from clear to blue, has high stability, and has a response of less than 100 ms.
Recent reports by Neff et al. have shown a method of preparation of Prussian blue (PB) on platinum and gold electrodes based on a chemical method.1•2 We disclosed very recently an elec-
In the electroreduction of carbon dioxide, catalytic activities of the tetrasulfonated metal phthalocyanines(MeTSP) homogeneously dissolved in the Clark–Lubs buffer solutions were investigated by the measurements of current- and capacitance-potential curves. It was found that CoTSP and NiTSP were active but not CuTSP and FeTSP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
