Question ID: 56964
I am looking for a method to imobilize carbon black on the surface of
a carbon cloth electrode for the purpose of electrically polymerizing
the prepared electrode.  I have searched many chemistry journals and
have thus far found nothing.  There are techniques for coating an
electrode with Pt, however they usually involve acids as part of the
binding process.  For my situation, I can not have an acidic
environment.  It needs to be as close to pH=7 as possible.  Another
possibility would be to polymerize the carbon black before coating it
onto the electrode.  I think this would be the easier of the two
methods if it was possible to electro chemically polymerize the carbon
black.  The problem is a solution of suspended carbon black can not
(to my knowledge) be polymerized because the reference, working, and
standard electrode would all be in electrical contact because of the
suspended particles immediately leading to overflow problems.  Any
help would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

I'm not aware that carbon can be polymerised, it depends on exactly
what you mean by polymerised ,are you looking for a way of coating the
cloth with carbon so it can be used as an electrode in an aqueous
solution and get it to stay on the cloth, i,e. conduct, or are you
looking at complex carbon structures such as fullerenes
(buckyballs)...more details would be helpful application,
temperature,working environment etc

I do want to polymerize the carbon so it will act as an electrode in
an aqueous solution.
