Electrochemical Analysis of Thiourea on Platinum in Non-Aqueous Electrolyte

Electrochemical behaviour of thiourea in non-aqueous electrolyte was investigated and discussed. Voltammetric experiments (cyclic voltammetry, cathodic polarization) conducted in acetonitrile showed two essential cathodic peaks. The first peak was assigned to the reduction of formamidine disulfide p...

Description
Summary:Electrochemical behaviour of thiourea in non-aqueous electrolyte was investigated and discussed. Voltammetric experiments (cyclic voltammetry, cathodic polarization) conducted in acetonitrile showed two essential cathodic peaks. The first peak was assigned to the reduction of formamidine disulfide produced by thiourea oxidation and the second to thiourea reduction. However, the oxidation peak was the transformation of thiourea to formamidine disulfide. It was concluded that sulphur and urea are thiourea cathodic reduction products in non aqueous electrolyte and the main thiourea oxidation product is formamidine disulfide.
