PQ-Modified Glassy Carbon Ceramic Electrode Based on Sol-Gel Chemistry and its Electrocatalytic Reduction of Iodate

Abstract

9, 10-Phenanthrenequinone (PQ) supported on glassy carbon microparticles by adsorption was dispersed in methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS) derived gels to yield a conductive composite which was used as electrode material to fabricate a PQ-modified glassy carbon ceramic composite electrode. It shows good electrocatalytic activity toward the reduction of iodate and could be used as an amperometric sensor for the determination of iodate in table warter.
