摘要
The electrocatalytic reduction of nitrite on a dinuclear ruthenium phthalocyanine (RuPc)(2) modified electrode is studied, using cyclic voltammetry (cyclic voltammogram), rotating disc electrode (RDE) and ring-disc electrode (RRDE) techniques. The products of nitrite reduction are ammonia, nitrous oxide, and hydroxylamine. Depending on the experimental conditions, ammonia or nitrous oxide is formed as the main product. The initial step in the electroreduction of nitrite catalyzed by (RuPc)(2) is a one electron Ru-II / Ru-I process, followed by coordination of NO2- to the metal center. Formation of a nitrosyl complex prior to the electroreduction does not occur. A suitable mechanism is proposed by analyzing the rate equation and the Tafel slope.
