Determination of surface amine groups on amorphous carbon nitride thin films using a one step covalent grafting of a redox probe

Résumé

A fluorocarbonyl terminated ferrocene based redox probe was synthesized and characterized using infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. It was then successfully grafted on various amorphous carbon nitride (a-CN x) samples (0.12 d x d 0.27) via the formation of a -CO-NH-type linkage with surface amine groups, whose spontaneous formation on the surface of a-CN x materials was thus proved and exploited. Cyclic voltammetry experiments were carried out in an acidic aqueous solution in the presence of this freely diffusing redox probe, in order to identify its electrochemical behavior. By comparison, CV experiments carried out on the modified a-CN x electrodes in the same blank electrolytic solution undoubtedly confirmed the presence of electroactive sub-monolayers, in spite of distortions of the resulting voltammograms. These latter were shown to reflect the influence of bulk atomic nitrogen content on the electrochemical reactivity of a-CN x materials. The grafted surface amine percentage deduced from the charge passed during oxidation of grafted ferrocene moieties was found to decrease from 6.5 % for a-CN 0.12 down to 1.1 % for a-CN 0.27 . This trend is expected to reflect the trend in surface concentration of reactive amine groups as a function of bulk atomic nitrogen content.
