Electrochemical degradation of organic dyes with a porous gold electrode
E-mail:
Electrochemical degradation of methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB) was studied at porous gold (PAu) electrode in presence of KCl as supporting electrolytes. PAu electrode with three-dimensional porous structure was prepared by paper-based method and used as working electrode. Based on the cyclic voltammetric test, the redox potential of of MB and RhB contained in KCl solution was found and the electrochemical degradation was conducted at fixed applied voltage. The direct oxidation of organic dyes involved using PAu and Pt electrodes, while the indirect electrolysis was mediated by active chlorine electro-generated from KCl solution. The results showed that PAu electrode with porous structure has high electrochemical activity with fast kinetics for the destruction of RhB (0.0448 min-1) and low energy consumption (0.315 kWh/m3), compared to smooth Au foil and reported others. In addition, the durability test for 10 serial degradation showed that PAu electrode has a good reproducibility and high adaptability for practical application.
