Abstract
The methods of silicotungstic acid (SiW) immobilization on conducting substrates were studied. For SiW immobilization by codeposition, poly-o-phenylenediamine (PPD) redox polymer was used. The most effective codeposition of SiW and PPD was demonstrated on a graphene oxide (GO) film. Meanwhile, GO is reduced to form RGO-PPD-SiW electroactive composite. The structure of the novel material was evidenced by cyclic voltammetry and IR and Raman spectra. PPD-SiW and RGO-PPD-SiW composites were studied by impedance spectroscopy, where an equivalent circuit was proposed. Film resistance Rf was shown to decrease in the series of PPD → RGO-PPD → RGO-PPD-SiW. Further, RGO-PPD-SiW has better transfer properties (bulk film diffusion rate). This enabled suggesting that the composite has better electrocatalytic properties than PPD and RGO-PPD as was evidenced for example of [Fe(CN)6]4−/3− redox transfer on the electrode coated with the novel material.
