Electrochemical study of Cu2O in aqueous and non-aqueous solvents in presence of SO2 using chronopotentiometry
Author(s): Manisha Bhattacharya, Pintu B and SG Dixit
Abstract: This abstract presents a comprehensive study of electrochemical properties of Cu2O using chronopotentiometric techniques in different solvent systems. In water, varying current densities were applied to measure potential-time curves, revealing a decreasing trend in potential with increasing current. Analysis at different current ranges illustrated solid-state diffusion behaviour, evidenced by constant transition times. Cu2O behaviour in water-sulphite and DMSO solvent systems was also investigated, showing similar trends in potential-time curves. Notably, in DMSO, the leaching behaviour of Cu2O was explored, indicating a significant decrease in potential with increasing current, and confirmed by constant transition times at higher current ranges. Statistical analysis revealed the consistency of results across different experimental conditions. Graphical representation of current versus curve area and slope demonstrated distinctive behaviour displaying higher area values and slightly higher slopes. This research enhances understanding of Cu2O behaviour in various solvent systems and provides insights into its potential applications.
