Popis: Manifestation of the properties of 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid polymer film was explored by polymerizing 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid in the presence of bromate. Depending on the initial concentration of bromate, the 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid solution was observed to transit from steady to oscillatory evolution in a batch reactor. The thus-fabricated film on Au electrodes exhibited different activities toward the electrochemical oxidation of pyrocatechol. The film synthesized at nonoscillatory conditions has a primary oxidation peak of pyrocatechol at about 0.20 V (vs Hg/Hg2SO4 electrode), as opposed to 0.0 V with the film that was prepared under oscillatory conditions. A phase diagram in the bromate–sulfuric acid phase was constructed to demonstrate the influence of each parameter on the emergence of oscillatory behavior in the 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid system. Experiments showed that an increase in the concentrations of sulfuric acid and bromate greatly increased the frequency and reduced the induction period of the...
