Abstract
Spherical silver nanoparticles (10-30 nm) were synthesized modifying a published procedure1, and confirmed by TEM and UV-vis analysis. The Ag nanoparticles were used to modify Glassy Carbon (GC) Electrodes depositing onto the GC support a suspension of the nanomaterials in Nafion®. Electrodes were morphologically characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). Stability in air and in solution and repeatability were evaluated and their electrochemical properties, compared with those of bare glassy carbon and Nafion-modified glassy carbon electrodes, were studied with Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements, using [Ru(NH3)6]Cl3 as model probe molecule. The modified electrodes show promising electroanalytical performances with very high current densities, probably due to the increase of the effective surface area, to a formation of a random array of nanoparticles on the Nafion® three-dimensional substrate with intermediate diffusional behaviour between planar and convergent2-3, and to a very small double layer capacitance. Applications exploiting the electrocatalytic properties of Ag for the detection of a model simple chlorinated compound (dichloromethane) and a more complex organic chlorinated compound (halothane) are presented.
