Abstract
Redox transformation of Prussian blue to Berlin green (PB/BG) in Prussian blue-polypyrrole (PB-PPy) composites synthesized via original one-step method has been studied. It was shown that the nature of anion and composition of background electrolyte play an important role for both the stability and the shape of electrochemical response of composite film during redox transfer of Prussian blue to Berlin green. Nitric acid, phosphoric acid, malic acid and citric acid 0.05 N (eq/L) solutions and the same acids partially neutralized with 0.01 N KOH were used as electrolyte to study the role of potassium ions presence in solution. The most stable electrochemical response of PB/BG redox transfer was obtained for the nitrate anions containing solutions in the presence of potassium ions. Nevertheless, the stability of the electrochemical transformation PB/BG in composite films in other media is enough to detect the sulphite ions content in wine samples via electrocatalytic reaction at the potentials of PB/BG redox transformation.
