Ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents have great potential in metallurgical applications as specialised solvents. In order to design ionometallurgical electrowinning and electrorefining processes, it is essential to characterise the electrochemical behaviour of metal complexes and compare potentials between relevant solvents. For such investigations, a universal reference redox couple would be desirable. In this study we investigate the speciation and electrochemical behaviour of ferrocenium/ferrocene and hexacyanoferrate(III/II) as possible reference couples for 15 different ionic media on platinum (Pt), glassy carbon (GC) and gold (Au) working electrodes. Amongst other parameters, formal electrode potentials, charge transfer coefficients, and rate constants were calculated. It was found that neither ferrocene nor hexacyanoferrate are universally suitable as redox standards in the liquids investigated. Nevertheless, hexacyanoferrate exhibits clear advantages in most of the strongly coordinating ionic liquids studied here.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
