All experiments were performed on a volume of 50 mL on a electrochemical cell (height = 35 mm, diameter = 60 mm) of potassium ferricyanide
; this analyte is common to use to test potentiostats [12 ,30 (
link),31 ,32 ], since its kinetics is well known and it describes an electrochemical reversible behavior [23 ,33 ,34 ]. Ferricyanide can be reduced to ferrocyanide as Equation (2) shows; the backward direction of the reaction corresponds to the ferrocyanide oxidation to ferricyanide as Equation (3) describes.
In the experiments two analyte concentrations of 1 mM and 10 mM of K
3[Fe(CN)
6] (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA, CAS: 13746-66-2) were used to evaluate the EPS. The electrolyte support used was 0.5 M KCl (Fermont, presentation no. 24842). The reference electrode (RE) used is Ag/AgCl (BASi model
MF-2052). A platinum wire (BASi model
MW-4130) and a disk glassy carbon electrode (BASi model
MF-2012, diameter ϕ = 3 mm) was used as the Counter Electrode (CE) and the Working Electrode (WE), respectively, as it is shown in
Figure 5B.
