Electrochemical Analysis of Catalytic and Oxygen Interfacial Transfer Effects on MnO2 Deposited on Gold Electrodes

2018

[EN] A theoretical model for obtaining thermochemical and kinetic information on oxygen interfacial transfer in metal oxides deposited on gold electrodes, based in the voltammetry of immobilized particle methodology, is presented. It is applied to MnO2 microparticulate deposits on gold in contact with aqueous NaOH solution using the voltammetric signals for the oxidation of gold to gold oxide monolayer and its subsequent desorptive reduction. Assuming reversibility, voltammetric peak potentials permit to estimate a variation of Gibbs free energy of interfacial oxygen transfer of -32 +/- 3 kj mol(-1). Analysis of peak current data based on the Sharp-Hancock formalism of solid-state kinetics …
