Resumen de Modified Carbon Electrodes for Microscale Electrochemistry
Enrico Mocellin, Teresa Goscinska
Fundamental and ubiquitous as electrochemistry might be in the electronics industry, fuel cells, corrosion, and biology, it is still proportionally a little-known subject amongst the wider body of chemists and consequently, it is hesitantly delivered to students.Electrochemistry is predicted to play an important role in the sustainable advancement in and innovation of industrial processes, with such applications as electroflotation, aqueous and organic waste treatment, conducting polymers and medical diagnostics, all of which utilize electrochemistry for product improvement and societal benefit.This paper tries to communicate the surface chemistry nature of electrochemistry, while conveying the future possibilities and application of the subject in such a way that the students may gain some insight and venture to explore the modern methodology and its future directions. This pragmatic experimental approach initiates the student to the preparation of novel electrodes and their utilization to investigate the electrochemistry of organometallic complexes by their direct application on the electrode. Extension of this technique offers the opportunity for sensor development.
