| Heteropoly acids has excellent redox stabilities and photocatalytic, electrocatalytic properties, owing to their structural and electronic versatility. The property makes them very useful in the electrochemical sensor material. In this paper we have improved the modified electrode behaviour utilizing the unique optical and electrochemical property of Keggin structure molybdophosporic acid, thus we have obtained two kinds of molybdophosporic acid modified electrodes with good sensitive response, high stability and outstanding electrocatalytic property.In the first part of this paper, gold nanoparticles supported with Keggin phosphododecamolybdates (PMo12-NG) were prepared by simple photoreduction technique. In which, the heteropolyanions acted as reducing agents, photocatalysts and stabilizers. The reaction mechanism and reaction condition were also discussed. It has shown that, thanks to the charge-transfer effect between PMo12 and DMF, PMo12 can also be the photoreduction reagent to prepare the gold nanoparticles. Within the proper irradiated time by UV light and dosage of DMF, we can get the monodispersed and stable gold nanoparticles. Then, PMo12-NG were successfully immobilized on the glassy carbon electrode surface with PVP layer-by-layer assembly mutillayer film and a PMo12-NG modified electrode (PMo12-NG/PVP/GC) was obtained. The morphology of resulting gold nanoparticles and redox behaviour of PMo12-NG/PVP/GC CME were discussed. The results showed that the PMo12-NG/PVP modified electrode exhibited high sensitivity, good reproducibility and excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the IO3-,BrO3-,NO2-,H2O2. The heterogeneous catalytic rate constant of PMo12-NG/PVP/GC CME is 1.34×105 mol-1·L·s-1 by chronoamperometric measurement.In the second part of this paper, the charge-transfer compound (TMB)3PMO12O40 (TMB-PMo12)film modified GC electrodes have been prepared by sol-gel technique and its electrochemical properties was studied by cyclic voltammetry method. Experimental results show that in one hand this charge-transfer compound have good redox activity and electrocatalytic properties as the same of its precursors, in anotherhand, it has its own unique properties. The TMB-PMo12 modified electrode exhibits excellent catalytic activity for the reduction of IO3-. Compared the heterogeneous catalytic rate constant of TMB-PMo12 CME with PMo12 CME, 3.04×104 mol-1·L-1·s-1, we can see that the reproducibility of PMo12-NG/PVP/GC CME was far beyond the PMo12/PVP/GC CME. By investigating the effect of the irradiation on the electrocatalytic reduction of IO3-, we can find that the photo-induced intramolecular charge transfer in the TMB-PMo12 molecules has contribution to the overall electrocatalytic reduction of IO3- on the TMB-PMo12 modified electrode. |
