Cyclic voltammetry and XPS analyses of graphite felt derivatized by non-Kolbe reactions in aqueous media

Abstract

This present work describes a preliminary study of modification of graphite felt for future applications in indirect electrolysis. The anodic oxidation of electroactive carboxylate compounds was achieved in aqueous media. The derivatization of the electrode was highlighted by cyclic voltammetry and XPS analyses. Interestingly, the grafting process led to chemically stable covalent attachment of nitroaryl species on the graphite felt with simultaneous increase of its real surface area. The comparison with the process performed in acetonitrile underlines the role of graphite oxidation in the immobilization of the molecules on the felt.
