Electrochemical Impedence Spectroscopy and Steady-State Voltammetry at the Micro- between Two Immiscible Electrolyte Solution
Silver, Barry Richard ; Holub, Karel ; Mareček, Vladimír
The kinetic data of simple tetraethylammonium ion transfer across the water/1,2-DCE interface obtained by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and steady-state voltammetry are compared. It is shown that the geometry of the microcapillary tip region is of critical importance to obtain reliable kinetic data. Quasi-reversible behavior of the ion transfer reaction, corresponding to an apparent standard rate constant of about 0.2 cm s-1, is observed with both experimental methods.\n
Proton transfer across a liquid/liquid interface facilitated by phospholipid interfacial films
Holub, Karel ; Jänchenová, Hana ; Štulík, Karel ; Mareček, Vladimír
The five-step mechanism proposed earlier for the formation of phospholipid films at aqueous/organic interfaces and for their behavior involving transfer of protons from the aqueous to the organic phase was further studied by cyclic voltammetry. A theoretical model was created for this mechanism and compared with the experimental results. Both the experimental and theoretical results support the proposed mechanism and evaluate the importance of the individual steps. It seems that the decisive step is the regenration of the zwitterionic form of the phospholipid at the interface, ensuring stability of the film in time and its continuous functioning.
