Аннотация:The reduction of bisulfite on Au electrodes in buffered aqueous solutions (pH = 5.25) was examined by in situ near-normal-incidence UV−visible reflection absorption spectroscopy on a rotating disk electrode (RDE) and in situ transmission UV−visible spectroscopy downstream from a channel-type electrode. The currents associated with dithionite (S2O42-) formation obtained from the spectroscopic measurements were found to be lower than those expected for a one-electron, diffusion-controlled process. Faradaic efficiencies for S2O42- generation derived from RDE data yielded, in the range −0.60 to −0.75 V vs Ag/AgCl, values close to 100%. The advantages of rotating disk over channel-type electrodes for determining faradaic efficiencies by UV−visible spectroscopic techniques are discussed.
