Abstract

In this study, nitrite electroreduction and phenylhydrazine electrooxidation were investigated on poly(o-anisidine) formed by cyclic voltammetry at the surface of ionic liquid carbon paste electrode. The films were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and were contrasted with poly(o-anisidine) prepared under identical conditions in the absence of ionic liquid in carbon paste electrode. This carbon paste modified electrode exhibits a good electrocatalytic capability (via an EC’ mechanism) for both electrooxidation and electroreduction of some important molecules. The obtained results showed that the catalytic oxidation peak currents of phenylhydrazine and catalytic reduction peak currents of nitrite at the surface of this simple (unfunctionalized) polymeric electrode were linearly dependent on their concentrations. Electrode was successfully applied for determination of nitrite and phenylhydrazine in real samples.
