description

Solid-state electrochemistry is applied to detect the presence of chromium centres with high oxidation states in chromium-doped cassiterite and tin-sphene ceramic pigmenting systems. Voltammetric data indicate that CrV and CrIV centres with different coordinative arrangements exist in the studied materials, and yield proton-assisted reduction processes at +0.95, +0.42 AgCl/Ag in contact with 0.50 M H2SO4. Electrochemical measurements are correlated with spectroscopic data. The CrIV and CrV metal ions display a significant light-driven electrocatalytic effect on the oxidation of 1,4-dihydrobenzoquinone and Fe(CN)64– ions that involves the formation of surface-confined adducts.
