Determination of cadmium(II) ion with a perfluorinated sulfonated polymer-ethylenediamine(nafion-en) modified glassy carbon electrode was studied. It was based on the chemical reactivity of an immobilized layer(nafion-en) to yield complex $[Cd(en)_2]^{2+}$. The reduction peak potential by differential pulse voltammetry(DPV) was observed at $-0.780({\pm}0.005)V$ vs. As/AgCl. The linear calibration curve was obtained in cadmium(II) ion concentration range $5.0{\times}10^{-7}-2.0{\times}10^{-5}M$, and the detection limit(3s) was $2.20{\times}10^{-7}M$. The detection limit of nafion-en modified glassy carbon electrode has been shown about 14 higher sensitivity than a bare glassy carbon electrode.

Electrochemical reduction of thionyl chloride has been carried out at glassy carbon and microelectrode that modified by macrocyclic compounds. The catalyst molecules of macrocyclic compounds were adsorbed on the electrode surface and reduced thionyl chloride resulting in a generation of oxidized catalyst molecules. The concentration of catalysts and electrode immersion time were found to affect the catalyst performance strongly. Significant improvements in cell performance have been noted in terms of both exchange rate constants of up to 10 times and power densities of up to 220% at glassy carbon electrode. The diffusion coefficients obtained at carbon microelectrode were slightly different from that determined at glassy carbon electrode.

Determination of iron(II) ion with a perfluorinated sulfonated polymer(nafion)-ethylenediamine(en) modified glassy carbon electrode was studied. It was based on the chemical reactivity of an immobilized layer(nafion-en) to yield complex $[Fe(en)_3]^{+2}$. The oxidation peak potential by differential pulse voltammetry(DPV) was observed at 0.340${\pm}$0.015 V(vs. Ag/AgCl). The linear calibration curve was obtained in iron(II) ion concentration range $5{\times}10^{-6}{\sim}0.2{\times}10^{-3} M(0.28{\sim}11.17\; mg/L)$, and the detection limit(3s) was $1.89{\times}10^{-5}$M(1.056 mg/L).

Copper(II) ion was measured with the use of a perfluorinated sulfonated polymer-ethylenediamine (nafion-en) modified glassy carbon electrode. The electrode mechanism was based on the chemical reactivity of an immobilized layer (nafion-en) to yield complex $[Cu(en)_2]^{+2}$. The reduction potential peak by differential pulse voltammetry(DPV) was observed at -0.4402V(${\pm}0.0050V$) (vs. Ag/AgCl). The linear calibration curve was obtained from $1.0{\times}10^{-6}$ to $1.0{\times}10^{-4}M$ copper(II) ion concentration, and the detection limit(3s) was $1.96{\times}10^{-6}M$.

The electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen is investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry at glassy carbon electrode and carbon microelectrode coated with a variety of cobalt phenylprophyrins in various pH solutions. Oxygen reduction catalyzed by the monomeric porphyrin Co(Ⅱ)-TPP mainly occurs through the 2e$^-$ reduction pathway resulting in the formation of hydrogen peroxide whereas electrocatalytic process carried out 4e$^-$ reduction pathway of oxygen to H$_2$O at the electrodes coated with cofacial bis-cobalt phenylporphyrins in acidic solution. The electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen is irreversible and diffusion controlled. The reduction potentials of oxygen in various pH solutions have a straight line from pH 4 to pH 13, but level off in strong acidic solution. The reduction potentials of oxygen shift to positive potential more 400 mV at the electrode coated with monomer Co-TPP compound than bare glassy carbon electrode while 750 mV at the electrode coated with dimer Co-TPP compound.

중성과 산성의 전해질내에서 여러 탄소전극의 전기화학적 특성과 전극재료의 중요함수인 이중층 축전용량에 대하여 조사 하였다. 이를 위해 임피던스 스펙트로스코피를 이용하였으며, 0.5M $K_{2}$SO$_{4}$용액과 0.1M H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$용액내에서 electrographite와 박판상 흑연의 경우 이중층 축전용량은 다른 두 전극재료에 비하여 높게 나타났으며, 0.1M H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$용액에서 탄소재료의 전하이동저항 R$_{1}$은 유리상 탄소와 PVDF graphite의 경우 140 ㏀과 31.9㏀로 나타났으며 electropraphite와 박판상 흑연의 경우 2.0㏀과 5.7㏀의 적은 값을 나타냈다. 이는 재료의 표면이나 내부의 기공에 의해 생기는 커다란 비 표면적 때문이며, 이것에 의해 재료의 상경계에서 측정된 임피던스량은 저주파영역에서 낮게 나타났다. 특히 electrographite는 전극계면에서 흡착의 영향이 현저하게 나타났으며, 4종류 전극재료의 전기화학적 특성과 이중층 축전용량은 전극표면 조직에 의해 차이가 나타났다.

The electrochemical reduction of (2,4-difluoro-phenyl)-(2-phenyl-1H-quinolin-4-ylidene)-amine was investigated in 0.1 M tetrabutylammoniumbromide in N,N-dimethylformamide at glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using the technique of cyclic voltammetry at the room temperature (290 K). The reduction of imines occurs in two successive steps, involving one electron in each. In this medium the first peak was observed at about -0.793 V (vs Ag/$Ag^+$) at the glassy carbon electrode surface, which is more stable and well defined as compared to the second peak. The diffusion coefficient ($D_0$) of imine in the investigated solvent media has been calculated using the modified Randles-Sevcik equation. The electron transfer coefficient ($\alpha$) of the reactant species has also been calculated.

The measurement of residual chlorine as a disinfectant is very important to ensure the safety against the pathogenic microbes and to suppress injection. The portable free chlorine sensor was fabricated with a disposable strip format by a screen printing method. The strip sensors prepared with a carbon-Ag/AgCl(cathode-anode) combination exhibited less interfering responses towards combined chlorine species(especially $NHCl_2$) and oxygen than the sensors prepared with other metals(i.e., gold and platinum). Free chlorine was determined chronoamperometrically with carbon-based electrodes at an applied potential of -0.3 V(vs. Ag/AgCl). A channel was built on the strip-type electrode for easy sampling, and the resulting strip sensors were employed to determine the concentrations of residual free chlorine.

We investigated the charging characteristics of a conducting solid sphere (glassy carbon sphere) comparing with that of a water droplet and check the applicability of the perfect conductor theory. For the systematic research, sphere size, applied voltages, viscosity of the medium were changed and the results were compared with that of corresponding water droplets and the perfect conductor theory. Basically, a glassy carbon sphere follows the perfect conductor theory but the charging amount was lower as much as 70~80% of theoretical prediction value due to oil film formed between electrode and a carbon sphere. We hope this result provides basic understandings on the solid sphere contact charging phenomenon and related applications.
