Abstract

A glassy carbon electrode modified with poly-nickel hydroxy salen (poly-Ni(OH)salen) film has been developed for the electro-oxidation of aldehydes. This film can be prepared via steps: (i) electropolymerization of N,N'-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediaminonickel(II) or nickel(II) salen solution, followed by (ii) the film transformation in alkaline medium. Cyclic voltammetric results reveal that the poly-Ni(OH)salen film modified electrode can respond to aldehydes, especially acetaldehyde, by giving anodic peak currents for their oxidation. Additionally, parameters affecting the formation and the electrocatalytic performance of the film are discussed.
