Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrode for use in an electrochemical cell. Particularly, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to an electrode which is made from a conducting composite material, the electrode being intended for use in an electrochemical sensor for the detection and measurement of free available chlorine.
- Electrochemical sensors are commonly used to detect chemical species in solution and, as a consequence, each sensor may be designed to be specific to the chemical species to be detected.
- microelectrodes due to their small size, the depletion zone around the electrode is small compared with the boundary layer due to natural convection. As a result, the rate of flux is independent of the flow conditions. In practice, for aqueous solutions at ambient temperatures, this means that microelectrodes need to have a characteristic dimension of less than 50 ⁇ m to fulfil this criteria. Accordingly, by making the electrode small, the need for the complex engineering usually associated with the forced reproducible convection required to stabilise the depletion zone is eliminated.
- Microelectrode arrays advantageously exhibit low dependence of current on convective flow, show enhanced rates of diffusive mass transport, and have rapid response times, whilst producing an easily manageable current in realistic situations.
- microelectrode arrays although regularly described in research literature, are in practice expensive to manufacture, relying either on high levels of expertise in their construction, or capital intensive C-MOS manufacturing techniques (semi-conductor fabrication technology). Although the latter technique is a useful method of microelectrode array manufacture, it (i) suffers from poor design flexibility in that a new mask is required each time the design of the microelectrode array is fine tuned, and (ii) is restricted to planar geometry and materials which are often unsuitable for application in electrochemical sensors due to hydration, ion exchange or poor biocompatibility.
- composite electrodes made from conducting particles embedded in an insulating binder can behave in a similar way to microelectrode arrays.
- the use of such composite electrodes is considerably cheaper than the use of microelectrode arrays, and does not suffer from the manufacturing disadvantages of microelectrodes discussed above.
- the modification of both the conducting particles of the electrode and the insulating matrix by catalysts, enzymes, redox mediators or other elements conferring (i) selectivity, (ii) improved electrode reaction kinetics (iii), improved biocompatibility and (iv) resistance to fouling reagents, including but not restricted to drugs and/or biocides, is considerably easier.
- highly conductive composite electrodes minimise the Ohmic iR drop within the electrode, which in turn simplifies both data analysis and implementation in sensors. Further still, the reactance (for instance, as measured by the RC time constant) of such electrodes is minimised if the conductivity is maximised. As well as possessing the advantages associated with low electrical resistance as detailed above, highly conductive composite electrodes are relatively easy to characterise using accepted models and, as a result, research on composite electrodes to date has emphasised the need for negligible resistance.
- Microelectrode array-like behaviour can be investigated by means of voltammetric techniques, principally steady state methods, and observation of the conducting features of the composite.
- the fraction of the surface area that is conducting and the size of the conducting features have been quantified using the technique of conducting atomic force microscopy (C- AFM), and this has helped to show the relationship between composition of the electrode and the microelectrode array behaviour thereof.
- the lower percolation limit is the value of the conducting fraction of the composite at which conduction rises sharply; that is, the point at which the insulator to conductor transition takes place.
- the second percolation limit is the value of the conducting fraction at which the insulating phase is no longer continuous.
- both the 50:50 and 40:60 samples have been shown to possess conducting features with a wide variety of size, shapes and spacing, but to have many features of an appropriate size and spacing to account for microelectrode array like behaviour. Since diffusion-limited current density is substantially higher for microelectrodes, this ensures that the voltammetric behaviour is dominated by these smaller features (vide infra, the rotating disc experiments).
- carbon-epoxy electrode described above exhibits notable microelectrode array-like behaviour, carbon-epoxy composites show little or no response to dissolved chlorine. Where there is a response to change in free available chlorine concentration, however, sensitivity (i.e. current per unit change in concentration) is irreproducible.
- Free available chlorine is defined in "Chemical Disinfecting Agents in Water and Effluents, and Chlorine Demand” No. 27 in the series “Methods for the Examination of Waste Water and Related Materials” published by the Department of the Environment, HMSO, 1980, ISBN 0117514934.
- the present invention is based on the finding that electrodes having a particular composition surprisingly show improved microelectrode array-like behaviour, in particular in the detection of free available chlorine.
- an electrode comprising a metallised carbon-insulator composite.
- a method for the manufacture of such an electrode comprising the preparation of a metallised carbon-insulator composite.
- a composite of this invention can be formulated using the techniques described in the experimental account that follows.
- a free available chlorine sensor comprising an electrode made from a metallised carbon-insulator composite.
- the metallised particles of the composite electrode advantageously catalyse the electro-chemical reduction of free available chlorine.
- microelectrode behaviour becomes less apparent close to or above the second percolation threshold.
- electrochemical sensors to date are based upon conducting composite materials having a high conducting fraction such that they are close to or above the second percolation threshold.
- the metallised carbon-insulator composite electrodes of the present invention have compositions above but close to the lower percolation threshold. Electrode compositions above but close to the lower percolation threshold of bulk conductivity are characterised by a large number of widely-spaced microscopic conducting features which leads to the microelectrode arraylike behaviour.
- the inventors have found that electrode formulation is based on the volume fraction, as opposed to the mass fraction.
- the volume fraction is substantially identical to the area fraction for randomly dispersed particles.
- the volume fraction of the metallised carbon (i.e. the conducting particles) in the metallised carbon-insulator composites of the present invention is in the range of 15 to 45%. It is preferable but not essential that the composite material has a composition such that the conducting material concentration is only just in excess of that required for bulk conductivity, i.e. just above what is called 'the percolation threshold' in percolation theory and other graph theory descriptions. This fraction may vary considerably according to the form and size of the conducting particles. It is typically of the order of 18-25% by volume of irregular carbon particles but may be below 0.1%(w/w) for high aspect ratio materials such as carbon nanotubes.
- Metallised carbon-insulator composite electrodes exhibit low sensitivity to flow and are resistant to fouling. Such advantageous characteristics significantly increase the utility of sensors using this type of electrode especially where the matrix is characterised by poorly defined or time- varying convection (blood and non-Newtonian fluids generally, physiological applications, process control, food processing, and environmental monitoring). Furthermore, sensors using this type of electrode are particularly useful where the medium is poorly conducting, and where there are surface active constituents in the matrix (physiological preparations, cell and tissue culture, and biological and environmental samples).
- the sensitivity (current per unit change in concentration) and linear range can be tuned through varying the metal or catalyst content and identity. Further, selectivity is affected by both metal or catalyst concentration and identity, and so can be altered.
- Suitable insulating binders include: polyethylene, polypropylene, polymethylmethacrylate, silicone elastomers (e.g polydimethylsiloxane), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Teflon), polyethyleneterephthalate, polycarbonate, polyamide, polyimide, Kel-F, polycyanoacrylate, polyester, mylar, Dacron and epoxy resin.
- silicone elastomers e.g polydimethylsiloxane
- PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
- polycarbonate polycarbonate
- polyamide polyamide
- polyimide Kel-F
- polycyanoacrylate polyester, mylar, Dacron and epoxy resin.
- the key property is that the insulator shows high electrical resistance, resists inhibition of water and has a high breakdown voltage.
- the electrode is made from a ruthenium modified carbon-insulator composite.
- Ruthenium modified carbon catalyst immobilised in low concentration in epoxy resin matrix has shown excellent ability to measure dissolved chlorine, hypochlorite and hypochlorous acid in swimming pool water with good selectivity in the presence of chloramines, high total organic carbon and over a wide range of pH values. The device is stable despite immersion and intermittent use over several months at least.
- the electrode may be made from a platinum modified carbon catalyst epoxy composite, or a rhodium modified carbon catalyst epoxy composite. It is to be understood, however, that other suitable metallised carbon insulator composites may also be used.
- the metal component of the metallised carbon-insulator composite may comprise any of the platinum group metals.
- Metallised carbon-insulator composite materials such as those disclosed above can be extruded, moulded, printed or machined into a suitable form ranging in size from sub-millimetre, i.e. around 10 ⁇ m, to several centimetres dimensions.
- the electrodes made from such composites can be used singly, or alternatively several may be used in parallel. In the case where several composite electrodes are used in parallel, elements with similar selectivities may be used or, alternatively, electrodes with differing selectivities may be used, thereby producing sensors applicable to various different analytes.

- Figure 9 is a graph showing the dependence of the diffusion limited current on the square root of the rotation rate.
- Example Metallised carbon epoxy composites were manufactured in the following manner: -
- Low viscosity epoxy resin ('Araldite' CY1300+HY1301 Ciba-Geigy, Duxford, Cambs. U.K.) was prepared according to the manufacturer's schedule and degassed under vacuum. It was then mixed with ruthenium- or platinum- modified carbon (metal content in the range 0.5 to 10% by weight) in the ratios of 22% to 45% by volume. The mixture was degassed under vacuum prior to casting.
- the electrodes may be inlaid discs made by casting the composite into an insulating electrode body, or conducting discs made by sectioning cast and cured composite and mounting them into an electrode, for example. For the latter, the composite was packed into plastic tubes (typically 7 mm diameter).
- the resulting composites were sectioned with a precision diamond saw (Buehler Isomet) into 1 mm and 2 mm slices.
- the slices were mounted on an insulating tube and electrical contact made either using silver loaded epoxy composite or a spring.
- the metallised carbon epoxy composites are not restricted to discs or even to an inlaid arbitrary shape since the devices still work when cast in a fairly haphazard way. The devices are only cut into a flat shape to aid analysis of their performance.
- the composite material can make satisfactory electrodes by printing or painting.
- Tips for the rotated disc experiments were machined out of PVC, abraded lightly with 2500 grit emery paper, and rinsed in ethanol. Self adhesive copper tape was punched out and applied as a backing for the composite.
- the recesses typically 2 mm
- the recesses were filled with carbon epoxy composite and allowed to cure.
- the top 0.5 mm was removed with a precision diamond wafering saw.
- the surfaces were polished with successively finer grades of aqueous alumina slurry down to 0.05 ⁇ m.
- the electrodes Prior to the experiments, the electrodes were cycled in sulfuric acid (100 mol m "3 ) between the potentials of oxygen and hydrogen evolution for 10 minutes at 1 V s "1 , held at hydrogen evolution potential for a further 15 minutes. The electrodes were then rinsed in de-ionised water and kept wet till needed.
- FIG. 1 shows sigmoidal current voltage curves characteristic of microelectrode behaviour for the 50% (w/w) non-metallised composite electrode (solid line) and the more peak shaped response shown by the 60% (w/w) formulation (pecked line).
- this phenomenon is general over the accessible timescales (dictated by the RC time constant of the electrode) whereas maximally conductive composites only show this behaviour at scan rates less than 50 mV s "1 (see Figure 2)
- Figure 3 compares the response to stirring of a 60% (w/w/) carbon epoxy composite electrode with a glassy carbon electrode. Even this comparatively highly conductive composite shows diminished response compared with the poorly reproducible response of a bulk conductor. Stirring the electrochemical cell elicited no change in the steady state current for the lower concentration composites.
- the convective boundary layer at a rotated disc is of uniform thickness and can be calculated from an equation due to Von Karmen in Angew. Math. Mech. 1 233 (1921). Only those conducting features which have a characteristic dimension comparable to the boundary layer thickness will contribute to the variation of current with boundary layer thickness. As the rotation speed increases, the slope of i vs. w 1/2 (the Levich plot) should increase as the boundary layer thickness decreases and ever smaller features are recruited into the flow dependent regime. It is a simple matter to calculate the expected slope of these curves for different formulations based on the measured conducting area from the C-AFM data. Image analysis of the C-AFM images allows construction of a histogram of feature areas and perimeters, vide infra.
- Histograms of the conducting feature size distribution are shown in Figure 5.
- the dilute formulations are dominated by features ⁇ 10 ⁇ m.
- Ruthenium modified carbon composite electrodes show catalytic diffusion limited response to dissolved chlorine (Cl 2 , HOCI and OCI " , the exact species depending on the pH). It has been demonstrated that sensitivity is comparable to electrodes of solid platinum group metals and Pt plated carbon. Typical calibration data is shown in Figure 7.
- the electrodes were tested in a field simulation environment. Calibration curves were prepared for solutions of hypochlorite at various pH and temperatures. The electrodes were tested for response to chloramine, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), cyanuric acid, fouling and changes in bulk convective flow.
- TDS Total Dissolved Solids
- TDS Total Dissolved Solids
- a sensor that responds independently of the TDS concentration is an advantage in an environment that is frequently changing.
- Response to TDS in the form of KCl was investigated by addition to a solution of 2 mg I "1 hypochlorous acid at pH 7.5. The response changes little with the additions and is within 10% of the initial response.
- a major advantage of the low concentration formulation is the decreased dependence of the diffusion limited current on the regime of convective flow as compared with (a) electrodes made of bulk conducting material and (b) composite electrodes where (i) the majority of conductive features are of a size that is comparable to or larger than the convective boundary layer thickness and/or (ii) the spacing between the majority of conducting features is within one order of magnitude or less than the characteristic linear dimension of the conducting feature.
- Hexaamine ruthenium (III) chloride (Ru(NH 3 ) 6 CI 3 was used as a tracer to characterise the conducting composite electrodes since it shows thermodynamically reversible electron transfer kinetics and therefore allows geometric factors to be isolated from the chemical condition of the electrode surface, a particular problem for carbon electrodes.
- Ruthenium modified carbon (5%) was obtained from Alfa, washed in acetone (AnalAR grade) in a Soxhlet, dried at 105 °C for 12 hours. Voltammetric experiments were in Ru(NH 3 )6 3+ (1 mmol dm “3 , Aldrich used as received) in aqueous KCl (0.5 mol dm "3 ).
- the reference electrode was a commercial aqueous silver-silver chloride (100 mmol dm "3 KCl) and a platinum flag served as counter electrode.
- Electrode bodies were custom manufactured from PVC and consisted of a 2.5 cm cylindrical mantle with 4 mm wide cylindrical recess in the centre.
- the Ru-C powder was mixed with degassed epoxy resin (Araldite CY1301 , HY1300, originally made by Ciba-Geigy but currently under license by Robnor Resins (Swindon) in the United Kingdom) in three ratios: 40% (w/w) Ru-C, 50% (w/w) Ru-C, 60% (w/w) Ru-C.
- Each formulation was again degassed under vacuum and packed into the cylindrical recess in the PVC electrode bodies and compressed using a PTFE mandrel.
- the electrodes were sawn parallel to the surface using a low speed diamond saw (Buehler) to leave a packed recess 1 mm deep.
- Final polishing was with 2500 grit emery paper and successively finer alumina slurries down to 0.03 ⁇ m to obtain a mirror like finish.
- the electrode was mounted in a rotating disc electrode assembly (PAR) and electrical connection was established with a stainless steel spring.
- Final cleaning was by potential cycling between the potentials for oxygen and hydrogen evolution at 1 V s "1 in sulfuric acid (0.5 mol dm "3 ) for 20 minutes followed by 15 minutes at the hydrogen evolution voltage.
- the metallised composite electrode of the present invention has numerous fields of application, most notably water treatment, food processing, sterilisation equipment, surgical sterilisation, portable field instrumentation in water treatment and waste water treatment, waste stream remediation, industrial effluent monitoring and control, and swimming pool monitoring.
- composite electrode of the present invention beyond electrochemical sensors include as components of fuel cells, primary and secondary cells for batteries, electrolysers and electrochemical reactors.
