Abstract

The direct electrochemical reduction of m-nitrophenol on GC electrode was investigated in ionic liquid(IL), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([EMIM]Br) by using cyclic voltammetry and chronocoulometry. The diffusion coefficient D of m-nitrophenol in [EMIM]Br was 9.184 × 10-7 cm2/s, while the transfer coefficient was 0.37. It can be proved that the reduction of m-nitrophenol on GC electrode was an irreversible process and the electrode reaction was diffusion-controlled by cyclic voltammetry.
