Abstract

An electrode modified with a polybasic lanthanide heteropoly tungstate/molybdate complex K10H3[Nd(SiMo7W4O39)2] entrapped into polypyrrole (PPy) film, denoted as Nd(SiMo7W4)2-PPy, exhibits three couples of two-electron redox waves in pH 1–5 buffer solutions. The redox waves are surface-controlled at lower scan rates and diffusion-controlled at higher scan rates. The effects of pH on the electrochemical behavior of Nd(SiMo7W4)2 in PPy film were investigated in detail and compared with that of Nd(SiMo7W4)2 in aqueous solution. The various charge states of PPy during its redox process have peculiar effects on the relationship between pH and formal potentials of Nd(SiMo7W4)2-PPy at different acidities. The Nd(SiMo7W4)2-PPy cme can remarkably catalyze the electrochemical reduction of bromate with good stability.
