Synthesis of ZSM-5 zeolite: Electrochemical behavior of carbon past electrode modified with Ni (II) - zeolite and its application for electrocatalytic oxidation of Formaldehyde

In this research, we reported a novel method for synthesis of ZSM-5 zeolite. The synthesized zeolite was characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy and FT-IR techniques. The modified carbon paste electrode was prepared by incorporation of Ni (II) - zeolite in the carbon past matrix. The electrochemical oxidation of formaldehyde was investigated at the surface of this modified electrode in alkaline solution using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry methods. The amount of charge transfer coefficient,surface coverage, of the redox species and the catalytic chemical reaction rate constant (k) for formaldehyde were calculated.
