A liquid membrane disk electrode, LMDE, and a liquid membrane ring-liquid membrane disk electrode, LMRE-LMDE, were developed by placing a gelled polyvinyl chloride thin membrane impregnated with 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether, NPOE-LM, on the surface of a glassy carbon, GC, disk or ring electrode. The voltammogram for the ion transfer at the interface between an aqueous solution, W, and NPOE-LM was recorded by setting the developed electrode in W and rotating at a rate, ω, between 0 and 4000 rpm. The sensitivity of the ion-transfer current at the W|NPOE-LM interface, I, was enhanced to be more than 100 times better than that at the W|NPOE (solution) interface when LMDE was rotated at ω higher than 200 rpm. The reversibility of the ion transfer reaction could be evaluated based on the dependence of I on ω of LMDE, and the reaction product at LMDE could be identified at LMRE when the rotating LMRE-LMDE system was adopted.
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.
