Silicon-carbon paste electrode interface in contact with redox indigo carmine for electrochemical sensor application | chapter 6 | chemical and materials sciences: research findings vol. 5

 

Cyclic voltammetry characterisation of the silicon-carbon paste electrode interface in contact with indigo carmine (5, 5′-indigodisulfonic acid sodium salt) showed 3 redox peaks in acidic medium at ph =3. These are the indigo carmine (ic) /leucoindigo carmine (lic) pair and that of dehydroindigo carmine (dhic). These peaks appear at the respective potentials ic (- 0.05v), lic (- 0.1 v) and dhic (0.5 v). In basic medium, only one peak appears, that of dehydroindigo carmine at the potential 0.69 v vs ag/ agcl / kclsat. Dehydroindigo carmine obtained in a basic medium is adsorbed on the surface of the working electrode. It has in its chemical structure the carbonyl group capable of complexing mercury. During these redox reactions, there is a transfer of two protons, h+, and two electrons. These redox reactions take place at the surface of the working electrode containing the active sites, thanks to the transport of matter by diffusion and adsorption. Each redox peak has an electrochemical impedance consisting of the resistance of the electrolyte, the electrochemical double layer capacity, the charge transfer resistance and the warburg impedance. Their study allows the equivalent electrical circuit of the interface to be produced.
