Electrode and application thereof
The present application is a divisional application of patent with application number 201510567167.0, application date 2015 09/08, entitled "a noble metal composition and its application".
Technical Field
The invention relates to a noble metal composition and application thereof, and further relates to a noble metal composition for preparing an electrode of an electrochemical sensor, belonging to the field of electrochemistry.
Background
The electrocatalytic oxidation of small organic molecules on electrodes made of noble metal materials such as gold, silver, platinum and the like is obvious, so the noble metal electrodes are often used for detecting the small organic molecules. When the electrochemical sensor using the noble metal electrode as the working electrode is used for detecting trace organic micromolecules, the electrochemical sensor has the characteristics of high detection speed, low detection limit and the like, is more convenient than a liquid chromatography, and has consistent detection results.
Slow sensitivity in the research on surface properties and SERS of noble metal nano structures and electrodes indicates that nano noble metals have large specific surface area due to surface effect and can catalyze and accelerate chemical reaction. Therefore, when the nano noble metal is used as an electrode, the reaction efficiency is higher, but the melting point of the noble metal atomic cluster limited by small size is greatly reduced and sometimes even can not exist stably.
The nanometer noble metal can not be accurately and uniformly coated in the process of coating the nanometer noble metal on a carrier to manufacture an electrode, thereby causing huge waste of the noble metal and not better playing the roles of reducing resistance and improving the efficiency of the electrochemical sensor.

The noble metal is one or more of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, osmium and iridium.
The particle size of the noble metal is 10-500 nm, preferably 50-250 nm, more preferably 100nm, in order to increase the conductive efficiency of the electrode, and the melting point of the nano-sized metal particles is reduced due to the too small particle size, so that the nano-sized metal particles are melted in the process of reducing the graphene oxide and the original particle size of the nano-sized metal particles cannot be maintained.
The weight average molecular weight of the PPC/P L A is 10,000-800,000, preferably 60,000-500,000, and more preferably 300,000, and PPC/P L A is added to uniformly disperse the noble metal through pyrolysis, thereby obtaining an electrode with low resistivity.
The thermal decomposition temperature of PPC/P L A is 90-320 ℃.
Graphene oxide is added into the composition, so that the graphene oxide is reduced into graphene, the conductive effect is enhanced by increasing the conductive specific surface area and combining with part of nano noble metal, and the complete decomposition of the incompletely decomposed PPC/P L A is promoted by a reduction reaction.

More preferably, the components comprise 16 wt% of noble metal, 50 wt% of polylactic acid modified polycarbonate copolymer (PPC/P L A) and 34 wt% of graphene oxide.
A second object of the present invention is to provide a method of using a noble metal composition that can be attached to an electrode support under specific conditions, thereby modifying and improving the electrode.
The preparation method comprises the steps of uniformly mixing noble metal particles with the average particle size of 10-500 nm and polylactic acid modified polycarbonate copolymer (PPC/P L A) with the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 10,000-800,000 by using a V-shaped mixer, discharging the mixed powder into a plasma atmosphere under the argon atmosphere by using a high-frequency induction thermal plasma device, and recovering the generated micro powder by using a filter to obtain composite particles.
The dosage of the noble metal, the PPC/P L A and the graphene oxide is proportioned according to the weight percentage of the noble metal composition.
The preferable reaction temperature is 700-920 ℃, and the further preferable temperature is 850 ℃.
The preferable heating time is 1-2 h, and the further preferable heating time is 1.5 h.
A third object of the present invention is to provide an electrochemical sensor constructed with an electrode composed of the noble metal composition according to the present invention.
The invention reduces the using amount of noble metal in the preparation process of the electrode, improves the utilization efficiency of the noble metal, and fully exerts the advantages of high specific surface area, good conductivity and the like of the graphene by uniformly coating a part of noble metal on an electrode carrier and uniformly coating the other part of noble metal on the reduced graphene oxide (graphene) through pyrolysis of the polylactic acid modified polycarbonate copolymer (PPC/P L A) mixed with the nano noble metal and the graphene oxide.
