Investigation of the performance of (4-(3-iodobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-N,N-dimethyllaniline as an anode catalyst for glucose electrooxidation

Abstract

In this study (4-(3-iodobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-N,N-dimethyllaniline (4), Sonagashira Coupling Reaction was synthesized using Electrophilic Cyclization Reactions. Then, the anode catalyst performance for glucose electrooxidation was investigated. The electrocatalytic activities of the organic catalyst were investigated by CV, CA and EIS measurements in 1 M KOH + 0.5 M C6H12O6 solution. Interestingly, electrochemical depositing on organic catalyst by Pd metal increased the specific activity, and it was calculated as 0.61 mA/cm2 Consequently, Pd@4 catalyst will be used as an electrocatalyst with high specific and stability and low charge transfer activity.
