Notes:
Cobalt-cyclam, trans-CoIII-([14]aneN4)Cl2, was directly adsorbed on Au electrodes to form adsorbed Co-cyclam modified electrodes. The presence of Co-cyclam on the surface of the electrodes was determined by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), differential capacity, and the voltammetric behavior of the Co-cyclam modified electrode in 3 M NaOH solution. The electrocatalytic activity of this modified electrode towards nitrate reduction was examined in 3M NaOH solution, and a comparison of the electrocatalytic activities of the Co-cyclam modified electrode and the Co-cyclam incorporated Nafion film modified Au electrode is discussed. The results showed that the new modified electrode exhibited a more efficient catalytic effect.
