title: Development of rotating liquid membrane disk electrode and rotating liquid membrane ring-liquid membrane disk electrode and evaluation of characteristics of ion transfer reactions at the rotating aqueous/organic solution interface.
abstract: A liquid membrane disk electrode, LMDE, and a liquid membrane ring-liquid membrane disk electrode, LMRE-LMDE, were developed by placing a gelled polyvinyl chloride thin membrane impregnated with 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether, NPOE-LM, on the surface of a glassy carbon, GC, disk or ring electrode. The voltammogram for the ion transfer at the interface between an aqueous solution, W, and NPOE-LM was recorded by setting the developed electrode in W and rotating at a rate, omega, between 0 and 4000 rpm. The sensitivity of the ion-transfer current at the WINPOE-LM interface, I, was enhanced to be more than 100 times better than that at the WINPOE (solution) interface when LMDE was rotated at omega higher than 200 rpm. The reversibility of the ion transfer reaction could be evaluated based on the dependence of I on omega of LMDE, and the reaction product at LMDE could be identified at LMRE when the rotating LMRE-LMDE system was adopted.
