Abstract
New photosensitive materials can be obtained by electrochemical oxidation of thiocyanate and selenocyanate salts. Using (K,Na)SCN eutectic melt, the formation of an electrodic deposit, with photoelectrochemical properties, has already been reported by us. To improve the photoelectrochemical characteristics of the deposit, futher investigations were carried out in the following sistems: selenocyanate ammoniate, KSCH-Acetamide eutectic mixture and KSCN ethylene carbonate solution:. Attempts to obtain a massive deposit in the ammoniate solution were unsuccessful due to ammonia oxidation. Measurements performed on the other KSCN systems show that temperature is a parameter of remarkable importance. In fact, lowering the temperature one obtains a decrease on formation of parathiocyanogen on behalf of the polytrithiocyanogen, the species that gives rise to the photoeffect.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
