For OR at this electrode, the Tafel slope is –0.084 V/dec and the apparent exchange current density is (1.02-3.0)×10-7 A/cm2. In the presence of manganese oxide on carbon electrode, the couple Mn3+/Mn4+ reacts with the O2 adsorbed on carbon sites forming O ?2 radicals and acceletes the dismutation of O 2?, which contributes to the catalytic effect of manganese oxide for OR reaction.展开更多

The anodic constant potential method is employed to deposit manganese oxide as electroactive substances on the micro-electrode surface. Cyclic voltammetry and constant current charge-discharge method are both used to prepare electrode electrochemical performance testing, with a two-dimensional electrode without structure for comparison. Experimental results show that three-dimensional elec- trode structure can effectively enhance the charge storage capacity. At 1.0 mA/cm2 charge- discharge density, the three-dimensional electrode shows a capacitance of 17.88 mF/cm2, seven times higher than the two-dimensional electrode.展开更多

Manganese toxicity is a serious constraint to crop cultivation since it is taken-up by plants and can easily be passed into the food chain again causing symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. A fully validated square-wave adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry method has been developed for determination of Mn (II) as a complex with 2-(5’-bromo-2’-pyridylazo) 5-diethylaminophenol in aqueous solutions using a carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with montmorillonite-Na clay. The results showed that the modified CPE (90% (w/w) graphite powder and 10% (w/w) montmorillonite-Na clay) exhibited excellent electrochemical activity towards the investigated Mn (II) complex in acetate buffer of pH = 5.0. Factors affecting the performance of the modified carbon paste electrode and the sensitivity of the described square- wave stripping voltammetry method, including the electrode composition, concentration of ligand, pulse parameters and preconcentration conditions were examined. A detection limit (S/N = 3) of 0.015μg·L-1 (2.73 × 10-10 mol·L-1) Mn (II) was achieved when a preconcentration time of 240 s was applied. Insignificant interferences from various inorganic and organic species were estimated. The described square-wave adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry method coupled with the modified carbon paste electrode has been successfully applied to Mn (II) analysis in different water samples.展开更多

XRD was used for microstructure characterization,while cyclic voltammetry and constant current charge-discharge were used for electrochemical performance testing. The positive electrode(PE) and negative electrode(NE) were investigated respectively in amorphous manganese oxide supercapacitor,aiming to find their different performances in charging-discharging. The results show that the crystalline structure is destroyed in both the PE and NE material during charge-discharge process. Thereinto,the NE suffers a bit more seriously. When cycling,the PE potential scope diminishes while the NE potential scope enlarges. The increased inner resistance makes the NE curves almost bended to be a right angle,but not the PE curves. The cell's equivalent series resistance(ESR) is more dependent on the NE,and the capacitance is mainly determined by the rapid descent of the NE potential range. The capacitances of the NE are highly rate-dependent,decreasing from 121.3 to 53.1 F/g,by 56.2%,over the range of 5-25 mV/s. However,the PE appears to be weakly dependent and its capacitance is only dropped by 22.1%.展开更多

The mechanism of film formation of MnHCF and its growth process were investigated in detail by cyclic voltammetry. The results show that the stoichiometric composition of MnHCF is Mn^ⅢFe^Ⅲ（CN）6, an analogue of prussian yellow. There exist three clear-cut stages in the whole modification process and the last stage is indispensable to the fabrication of homogenized, stable MnHCF film and must last for an appropriate time. The surface morphology of MnHCF/GC electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, which further verified the effective deposition of MnHCF film on GC. The kinetic constants of MnHCF/GC electrode process were also evaluated. The resulting MnHCF film modified electrode presented good stability and high electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of H2O2, indicating that MnHCF film possesses function of catalase and can be expected for analytical purposes.展开更多
