Abstract

In this article, a novel sodalite nanozeolite was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy as well as argon adsorption–desorption isotherm. Following the morphology evolution of the sodalite nanozeolite in the SEM images illustrates the formation of the spherical particle with a size between 60 and 80 nm. Then, carbon paste electrode (CPE) was modified by sodalite nanozeolite and chitosan and then Ni2+ ions incorporated to this electrode by immersion of the modified electrode in a 0.5 M nickel chloride solution. The electrochemical behavior of the modified electrode (Ni–SOD–CS/CPE) towards the oxidation of ethanol was evaluated by cyclic voltammograms and chronoamperometry methods. It has been observed that sodalite nanozeolite and chitosan at the surface of CPE can improve catalytic efficiency of the dispersed nickel ions toward oxidation of ethanol. The values of electron-transfer coefficient, charge-transfer rate constant and electrode surface coverage for the Ni(II)/Ni(III) couple in the surface of Ni–SOD–CS/CPE were found to be 0.71, 1.58 s−1 and 2.84 × 10−8 mol cm−2, respectively. Also, the diffusion coefficient and the mean value of catalytic rate constant for ethanol and redox sites of modified electrode were obtained to be 9.38 × 10−10 cm2 s−1 and 2.14 × 104 cm3 mol−1 s−1, respectively. Obtained results from cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometric techniques indicated that the electrode reaction is a diffusion-controlled process. Good catalytic activity, high sensitivity, good selectivity and stability and ease of preparation rendered Ni–SOD–CS/CPE to be a capable electrode for electrooxidation of ethanol.
