          Abstract

          Some aspects of the application of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to studies of solid electrode / solution interface, in the absence of faradaic processes, are analysed. In order to perform this analysis, gold electrodes with (111) and (210) crystallographic orientations in an aqueous solution containing 10 mmol dm-3 KF, as supporting electrolyte, and a pyridine concentration varying from 0.01 to 4.6 mmol dm-3, were used. The experimental data was analysed by using EQUIVCRT software, which utilises non-linear least squares routines, attributing to the solid electrode / solution interface behaviour described by an equivalent circuit with a resistance in series with a constant phase element. The results of this fitting procedure were analysed by the dependence on the electrode potential on two parameters: the pre-exponential factor, Y0, and the exponent n f, related with the phase angle shift. By this analysis it was possible to observe that the pyridine adsorption is strongly affected by the crystallographic orientation of the electrode surface and that the extent of deviation from ideal capacitive behaviour is mainly of interfacial origin.

          Neste trabalho são analisados alguns aspectos da aplicação da espectroscopia de impedância eletroquímica a estudos em interfaces eletrodo sólido/solução, na ausência de processos faradaicos. Para tanto foram utilizados foram utilizados eletrodos monocristalinos de ouro nas orientações cristalográficas (111) e (210) em contato com soluções aquosas contendo KF 10 mmol dm-3, como eletrólito suporte, e piridina em concentrações que variaram entre 0,01 e 4,6 mmol dm-3. Os resultados experimentais foram modelados com a utilização do programa EQUIVCRT, que utiliza métodos de mínimos quadrados não lineares, com a representação da região interfacial a partir de um circuito elétrico equivalente constituído de um resistor ligado em série a um elemento de fase constante. Os resultados obtidos através da modelagem foram então analisados em função da dependência dos parâmetros Y0 e n f, referentes ao elemento de fase constante, com o potencial no eletrodo, Foi observado que a adsorção da piridina é afetada de maneira significante pela orientação cristalográfica da superfície do eletrodo e que o grau de desvio do comportamento puramente capacitivo é preponderantemente de origem interfacial

            Impedance spectroscopy.

            Impedance spectroscopy (IS) is a general term that subsumes the small-signal measurement of the linear electrical response of a material of interest (including electrode effects) and the subsequent analysis of the response to yield useful information about the physicochemical properties of the system. Analysis is generally carried out in the frequency domain, although measurements are sometimes made in the time domain and then Fourier transformed to the frequency domain. IS is by no means limited to the measurement and analysis of data at the impedance level (e.g., impedance vs. frequency) but may involve any of the four basic immittance levels: thus, most generally, IS stands for immittance spectroscopy.

              The partially degraded hydrophilic silane pattern and its application in studying the structures of long chain alkane films.

              We developed a protocol to fabricate hydrophilic patterns over an octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) film surface with an atomic force microscope (AFM). Through a local probe oxidation under a 100% humidity environment, the OTS was converted into a hydrophilic, carboxylic acid-terminated surface (OTSpd). The OTSpd pattern grew with the voltage dwell time applied on the conducting AFM probe. Eighty nanometer to submillimeter sized OTSpd patterns could be fabricated with a single scanning probe. The OTSpd patterns were used to study the spreading of long chain alkanes. Hexatriacontane (C36H74) was dip-coated on an OTSpd pattern. Subsequently, an additional hydrophilic OTSpd region was fabricated surrounding the coated C36H74. The alkane spread over this newly created region when heated above its melting point. After cooling to room temperature, the shape and structures of the solidified alkane patterns were characterized. On the methyl-terminated, low-energy surface, the alkane molecules stood directly on the surface. In contrast, on the hydrophilic, high-energy surface, the alkane formed seaweed-shaped patterns after spreading. On the OTSpd surface, the alkane molecules initially adsorbed on the hydrophilic surface with their alkyl chains parallel to the surface. Additional alkane molecules stood vertically or tilted on top of the parallel layer, forming the seaweed-shaped layer. The seaweed patterns were previously thought to consist of only vertically standing alkane molecules. We found that three additional tilted phases existed in the seaweed-shaped structures.
