Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Composite electrodes incorporating metal hexacyanoferrates exhibit unique electrochemical properties.
  • The voltammetric response of hexacyanoferrate ions is influenced by ion exchange with alkali and alkaline-earth metals for charge compensation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a voltammetric method for the quantitative analysis of alkali and alkaline-earth metal ions.
  • To investigate the suitability of various metal hexacyanoferrate electrodes for specific ion determinations.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of composite electrodes using graphite, paraffin, and metal hexacyanoferrates (Fe(III), Cu(II), Ag(I), Ni(II), Cd(II)).
  • Voltammetric analysis to measure the potential response of hexacyanoferrate ions.

    • Main Results:

    • A linear relationship was observed between electrode potential and the logarithm of metal ion concentration.
    • Electrodes demonstrated high selectivity for potassium and cesium ions, with selectivity constants as low as 3x10^-4.
    • The working range extended from 10^-5 to 1 mol L^-1, with typical standard deviations of 3 mV.

    Conclusions:

    • Composite metal hexacyanoferrate electrodes provide a reliable method for voltammetric determination of alkali and alkaline-earth metal ions.
    • These electrodes are particularly effective for the selective quantification of potassium and cesium ions.
    • The developed method offers a sensitive and selective approach for ion analysis in aqueous solutions.
