Silver nanoparticle decorated poly(2‐aminodiphenylamine) modified carbon paste electrode as a simple and efficient electrocatalyst for oxidation of formaldehyde

This work describes the promising activity of silver nanoparticles on the surface of a poly(2‐amino diphenylamine) modified carbon paste electrode(CPE) towards formaldehyde oxidation. Electro‐deposition of the conducting polymer film on the CPE was carried out using consecutive cyclic voltammetry in an aqueous solution of 2‐aminodiphenylamine and HCl. Nitrogen groups in the polymer backbone had a Ag ion accumulating effect, allowing Ag nanoparticles to be electrochemi‐cally deposited on the surface of the electrode. The electrochemical and morphological characteris‐tics of the modified electrode were investigated. The electro‐oxidation of formaldehyde on the sur‐face of electrode was studied using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry in aqueous solu‐tion of 0.1 mol/L Na OH. The electro‐oxidation onset potential was found to be around-0.4 V, which is unique in the literature. The effect of different concentrations of formaldehyde on the electrocat‐alytic activity of the modified electrode was investigated. Finally, the diffusion coefficient of formal‐dehyde in alkaline media was calculated to be 0.47 × 10–6 cm2/s using chronoamperometry.
