Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on analyzing formaldehyde (HCHO) in anhydrous methanol, identifying methoxy methanol (MM) as a product at higher concentrations using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
  • For lower HCHO concentrations, derivatization with dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) and electrospray ionization (ESI) provided reliable quantification limits, showing a strong linear correlation for HCHO detection.
  • Results indicate that HCHO primarily exists in equilibrium with MM rather than in its free aldehyde form, and in the presence of water, the equilibrium shifts to form hydrated species.

We report the stochastic interactions between dye sensitized anatase nanoparticles, suspended in a colloid, and a Pt ultramicroelectrode (UME) that result in step-wise behavior in the current vs. time response. The stochastic currents are observed in the dark and under illumination.
