Abstract

An enormous range of possible dyes are available, especially as the starting molecules are readily available and cheap. As other dye classes become less viable from either an environmental or economic reasons, azo dyes come to the forefront. Therefore, electrochemical characterization of a novel synthesized azo dye (E)-1-(4-((4-(phenylamino)phenyl)diazenyl)phenyl) ethanone was achieved for the first time. Cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and square wave voltammetry techniques were used to investigate the electrochemical behavior and electrocatalytic effect of azo dye (E)-1-(4-((4(phenylamino)phenyl)diazenyl)phenyl) ethanone at pencil graphite electrode. Cyclic voltammograms were utilized to determine the effect of scan rate and pH on the peak current and peak potential. Chronoamperometry technique was used to determine diffusion constant, D and the type of adsorption isotherms. The kinetics parameters which were the apparent electron transfer rate constant, k(s) and charge transfer coefficient, a were calculated. Square wave voltammetry was used to verify responses of cyclic voltammetry technique. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
