Abstract By the replacement of V5+/V4+ couple in an all-vanadium redox flow cell with Ce4+/Ce3+, a completely novel Ce4+/Ce3+-V2+/V3+ redox cell have been designed. The electrochemical responses of higher concentration Ce4+/Ce3+ couple in H2SO4 solution at inert electrodes such as platinum (Pt), glassy carbon (GC) and graphite (Gr) were investigated mainly by using cyclic voltammogram. The well-defined voltammograms at all the inert electrodes indicated quasi-reversible behaviors for the Ce4+/Ce3+ couple in H2SO4 solution. The kinetic parameters for the anodic oxidation of Ce3+ and cathodic reduction of Ce4+ were measured by the relationship between the overpotential and the logarithm of current. The normal potential of the Ce4+/Ce3+ couple was derived from the cyclic voltammograms. Based on the findings, it showed that the surface of platinum electrode was fully covered with type oxide which inhibited the reduction of Ce4+, and the reversibility of Ce4+/Ce3+ couple improved with the increase of H2SO4 concentration. Besides, the electrochemical active substances maybe existed in different forms at varied state of charge (SOC), and the reversibility of Ce4+/Ce3+ couple at carbon electrode was superior to the platinum electrode.

1. INTRODUCTION           
The Ce4+/Ce3+ couple was chosen as the positive electrolyte of Cerium (Ce4+/Ce3+) -Vanadium (V2+/V3+) redox flow cell mainly for the reasons as follows: 1) The high potential of Ce4+/Ce3+ couple. If it was matched with possible negative electrolyte, such as V2+/V3+, the theoretical open circuit voltage would be 1.96,1.87,1.7,1.54 V (vs. SHE) in HClO4, HNO3, H2SO4, HCl solutions respectively, thoroughly satisfying the requirements to the practical batteries. And its open circuit voltage is higher than the conventional redox flow cells, such as Fe-Cr[1] (1.18 V vs. SHE), Fe-Ti [2](0.67 V vs. SHE) and all vanadium [3](1.26 V vs. SHE) redox flow cell. Just because of its high potential, Ce4+ was often used to the oxidation titration of Fe2+[4], I-[5], the oxidation of the organic molecular in waste water, the oxidation of Cl- to Cl2 in chloralkali industry[7] and the oxidation of H2O to O2 as well[8]. 2) Both the reduction of Ce4+ at Pt, Au, Ir[9], highly boron-doped conductive diamond electrodes[10] and the oxidation of Ce3+ at Pt, Au, GC[11], PbO2[12,13], SnO2[6] electrodes were investigated, and Klekens[14] reported that the reduction of Ce4+ was not concerned with the electrode materials, the charge transfer coefficient (
a ) and the heterogeneous rate constant (kc) were similar at different electrodes, for instance, at Pt, Au, GC electrodes the kc was 3.7×10-4[15], 4.8 × 10-4[16], 3.8 × 10-4[15]cm s-1, and a was 0.21[15], 0.35[16], 0.28[15] respectively. But as to the oxidation of Ce3+, the various electrodes had different effects on the reaction of Ce3+04100506.gif (70 bytes)Ce4+ +e-.
    Here H2SO4 was chosen as the acid media mainly due to that: 1) in HClO4 or HNO3 solution, the potential of Ce4+/Ce3+ couple is high, far above the over-potential of oxygen evolution, and the Ce4+/Ce3+ couple is not stable in HClO4 or HNO3 solution[17,18]. Although the potential of Ce4+/Ce3+ couple is also high enough in H2SO4 solution, Kunz [19] proved that Ce(SO4)2 could stably exist in H2SO4 solution, it seldom took place the redox reaction anyway, the stability of electrochemical active material was especially important in redox flow cell. 2) ClO4- and NO3- can not form stable complexes with Ce4+ and Ce3+ (this is also the reason that the potential of this couple is higher than that in H2SO4 solution), however, SO42- can form complex with Ce4+, existed in the form of CeSO42+, Ce(SO4)2 and Ce(SO4)32-[10]. Because of the formation of stable complex, it was generally accepted that the Ce4+ and Ce3+ would not undergo hydrolysis in H2SO4 solution. 3) If trying to take HCl as the acid media, then Ce4+ would oxidate Cl- to Cl2:
2Cl-+2Ce4+04100506.gif (70 bytes)Cl2+2Ce3+ (1)
Andrew Mills[7] ever used the Ru, Ir oxide as the catalyst to accelerate this reaction, which demonstrated that the Ce4+/Ce3+ couple was unstable in HCl solution.
    In the previous works, it was chiefly focused on electroanalysis, and the concentration of Ce4+/Ce3+ couple ever used was quite low, varied from several to dozens of mmol, but as the electroactive materials used in redox flow cell, the solubility of reactant and product should be large enough, therefore in this paper the concentration of Ce4+ and Ce3+ were both above 0.1 mol dm-3. Through the cyclic voltammogram response of Ce4+/Ce3+ couple at inert working electrode, we investigated the reversibility of the couple in H2SO4 solution.

2. EXPERIMENTAL
2.1. Apparatus and experiment steps
The curves of current versus potential were recorded in a 3-compartment cell, with Pt (0.2 cm2), GC (0.16 cm2), and Gr (1.13 cm2) as inert working electrodes respectively, the auxiliary electrode was a platinum sheet. All potentials were expressed relative to the Hg/Hg2SO4 electrode, which was connected with the electrochemical cell through a salt bridge full of H2SO4 electrolytic solution.
    The electrolytic solutions used were 0.5, 1.25, and 2 mol dm-3 H2SO4, the cerium salts (analytical grade), including Ce(SO4)2 ·4H2O and Ce2(SO4)3, were used as received. The cyclic voltammogram was measured by the CHI660 electrochemical station (CH Corporation, USA).
    To get reproducible experimental data, the Pt electrode was pretreated as the following procedures, a 10 minutes' ultrasonification (JY92-2D ultrasonic cell pulverizer) was followed by a potential cycling for 20 minutes at 50 mV·s-1 between 1.80 and -0.6 V, then a potential programme (scheme 1[15]) was used to record polarization curves for producing a layer of constant platinum oxide thickness.
    By the above pretreatment the type platinum oxide would reach an apparently limiting covered thickness. The glassy carbon electrode was cycled between 1.3 and -1.0 V (vs. SCE) for 10 minutes at a scan rate of 0.03 V·s-1 after which it was held successively at 0.5 and 0 V (vs. SCE) for 5 minutes. According to the above treatment, reproducible GC electrode surface could be obtained[14]. Solutions were de-aerated 15 minutes by bubbling with nitrogen before each measurement.

2.2. The mathematical treatment of results
The peak current and the peak potential have the relationship as follows[10]:
Ep= constant - (RT/2
anF)lnn        T=298K (2)
Ip=299(
an)1/2ACj*Dj1/2n1/2                         (3)
where Ep is the peak potential,
a is the transfer coefficient, n is the number of electrons involved in the rate-determining step, n is the potential scan rate, Ip is the peak current, A is the surface area of the working electrode, cj* is the bulk concentration of species j and Dj is the diffusion coefficient of species j. From equation (2), the values of a, b (the cathodic and anodic transfer coefficient) can be obtained by the plot of Ep versus lnn . Using the value of a, b obtained, a proportional relation between Ip and n1/2 can be observed, and Dj can also be easily obtained.
    The peak current may be expressed as [20]
Ip=0.227nFACj*k0exp[-(
anF/RT)( Ep-E0')]          (4)
A plot of ln(ip) versus (Ep-E0'), determined by different scan rates, should thus have a slope proportional to
a and an intercept proportional to k0.
    The formal potential of the electrode (E0') was estimated from the results of cyclic voltammogram[21]
E0'=
S(Epa+EPc)/2m              (5)
where Epa and Epc are the anodic and cathodic peak potential, m is the total numbers of scanning.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. The effect of preoxidation at the surface of Pt electrode on the Ce4+/Ce3+ couple

Due to the high potential of Ce4+/Ce3+ couple, the metal electrode even including the noble metal, such as Pt, Au et al. could not avoid being oxidated. From Fig.1. it is easy to observe that the cathodic and the anodic current peaks are located between 0.4 - 0.9 V. Another small reduction peak current between 0 and -0.2 V is the result of the platinum oxide reduced.

To investigate the effect of this oxide on the Ce4+/Ce3+ couple, the sweep width ranged from 0-1.4 V to -0.2-1.4 V. Fig.2 showed clearly that the existence of platinum oxide inhibited the oxidation of Ce3+, especially while the sweep rate was fast, the distinct anodic peak could not be observed, which was attributed to the oxygen-evolution reaction. Compared with Fig.2, the cyclic voltammogram Fig.3 scanning from 0.2 to 1.4 V, the surface oxide of platinum metal could be partly got rid of (under so high potential conditions, there was no way to completely reduce the platinum oxide, even if it could be achieved, while scanning toward the anodic direction, the platinum oxide could be produced again). Due to the similarity of the oxygen-evolution current and potential to the two different scan widths, this difference can not attribute to the oxygen-evolution reaction which make the anodic current peak of Ce3+ disappear.

    Therefore this can only attribute to the inhibit of platinum oxide to the oxidation of Ce3+, make the anodic reaction move toward more positive voltage until it enters the span of oxygen-evolution reaction. Although while the sweep rate was low, the anodic peak current of Ce3+ could be obvious to observe, its peak potential was higher than in the sweep width -0.2 - 1.4 V under the same sweep rate condition, the peak current decreased slightly. One possible reason was that the conductivity of platinum oxide formed at eh surface of platinm was poorer, which would add the resistance of the transfer of electrons. Another reason maybe was that the platinum oxide occupied some active position on the surface of platinum, this would reduce the effective reaction sites at the same time when increasing the apparent surface area. Of course it was also a possibility that the existence of platinum oxide changed the interfacial double layer structure between the solution and metal, caused the change of inner potential, which changed the electric field across the interface, and directly affected the transferring rate of electron.

    A.T.Kuhn has reported[22] that the type platinum oxide existed in the form of PtO2, and was good electronic conductor, its conductivity was the same as platinum metal, but specific conductance of chemically prepared PtO2 powder was 10-6 W -1·cm-1 and behaved as semiconductors. However the electrific conductance of type platinum oxide was much less[(1-2)×10-3 W -1·cm-1]. As a result, type platinum oxide does not inhibit the charge-transfer process but the type platinum oxide do so. In this paper by the pretreatment it only produces type platinum oxide, without type platinum oxide (type platinum oxide can only be produced by oxidating more than 15 minutes under the voltage of 1.7 V). Therefore the inhibit of platinum oxide to the oxidation of Ce3+ was not due to the existence of type platinum oxide. It was possible that the Ce3+ absorbed on the surface of platinum through the oxygen bridge and occupied the active position of surface, inhibited the transfer of Ce3+ from the bulk solution, as a result it made the anodic overpotential increase.
    To the reduction of Ce4+, while the surface of platinum was covered with type platinum oxide, it was obvious to see from Fig.2 that the peak current almost kept the constant but the peak potential moved toward the cathodic direction, which demonstrated that at the stationary electrode, although the charge-transfer was inhibited somehow (peak potential moved toward the cathodic direction), it could still reach the diffusion-controlling limiting current. It was generally accepted that Ce4+ would not absorb on the surface of electrode, so the increase of cathodic overpotential was possible because of the inhibit of platinum oxide to the charge transfer.

3.2 Effect of initial Ce4+ concentration on the Ce4+/Ce3+ couple
Fig.4 showed the relation of cathodic peak current with the concentration of Ce4+ in 1.25 mol dm-3 H2SO4 solution. While the sweep rate <0.05 V s-1, a proportional relationship could be obtained, which proved that the reduction current was only dependent on the reduction reaction of Ce4++e-04100506.gif (70 bytes)Ce3+, without any other disturbance. On the other hand, the oxygen-evolution current was almost invariable when the concentration of Ce4+ changed, which proved that the existence of Ce4+ had no effect on the evolution of oxygen.

3.3 The effect of different state of charge (SOC) on the Ce4+/Ce3+ couple
Reducing the 0.4 mol dm-3 Ce(SO4)2 in 1.25 mol dm-3 H2SO4 solution to 75% and 50% SOC respectively, the results were given in Table 1. From the cathodic reaction rate constant (kc), it was easy to observe that while the total concentration of cerium ions kept the constant, the value of kc firstly decreased from 100% to 75% SOC, then it would increase from 75% to 50% SOC, which showed that the polarizing resistance of 75% SOC electrolyte was much larger, while that of 50% SOC and 100% SOC was relatively much smaller. According to conventional hypothesis, with the increase of Ce3+ concentration and the decrease in the concentration of Ce4+, the normal potential E0' should decrease, but here it was controversial. The value of E0' under 75% SOC increased to 0.76 V, almost the same as that of 0.3 mol dm-3 Ce(SO4)2 in 0.5 mol dm-3 H2SO4 solution, and the value of
a=0.153 was similar to that in the solution mentioned above (a=0.157).

50 0.739 0.155 0.197 2.99 2.93

    From subsection 3.4, it seemed that the electroactive substances maybe existed in different forms in 0.5 and 1.25 mol dm-3 H2SO4 solutions. The kinetic parameters of 75% SOC (0.4 mol dm-3 Ce(SO4)2 in 1.25 mol dm-3 H2SO4 solution) were similar to those in 0.5 mol dm-3 H2SO4 solution with the same concentration of Ce4+, therefore it was reasonable to believe that the electroactive substances of 75% SOC in 1.25 mol dm-3 H2SO4 solution were different from those in 100% SOC but just the same as the electroactive substances in 0.5 mol dm-3 H2SO4 solution. As a result it was reasonable to think that the electroactive substances changed from 100% to 75% SOC were not simply due to the difference of Ce4+ concentration. Because when the concentration of Ce4+ decreased from 0.4 to 0.3, 0.2 mol dm-3 in 1.25 mol dm-3 H2SO4 solution, it could be seen clearly from Table 1 that E0' was 0.68, 0.682, 0.634 V respectively, almost invariable, besides it, the kc was similar, too, was 4.1×10-4, 4.03×10-4 and 3.6×10-4cm s-1 respectively. these results all proved that the property of the reactant to the reduction of Ce4+ in different concentration of H2SO4 solution was the same. Therefore, the variation of E0' and kc in different SOC can only attribute to the variation of Ce3+. When the Ce3+ absorbed on the surface of oxide, it would make the oxidation of Ce3+ more difficult, even lead to the anodic peak potential shifting positively more than 0.1 V when changed from 100% to 75% SOC with the same sweep rate.

3.4 The effect of different H2SO4 solution concentration on the Ce4+/Ce3+ couple
Because the Ce4+ will undergo hydrolysis when the concentration of H2SO4 solutions is below 0.5 mol dm-3, so the concentration of H2SO4 solution used here was above 0.5 mol dm-3. Additionally, the purpose of this paper was to investigate the Ce4+/Ce3+ couple used in redox flow cell, and to improve the specific energy of electroactive substances in a unit volume, the concentration of Ce(SO4)2 should be as large as possible. But it was still an accepted fact that the solubility of Ce(SO4)2 decreases with the increase of H2SO4 concentration. Therefore the maximum concentration of H2SO4 used here should be 2 mol dm-3.

Plot of cyclic voltammogram in 0.3 mol dm-3 Ce(SO4)2 + 0.5mol dm-3 H2SO4 solution, sweep rate (a) 0.25, (b) 0.05V s-1 .

    Fig 1, 3, 5 showed the cyclic voltammogram behavior of Ce(SO4)2 in 2, 1.25 and 0.5mol dm-3 H2SO4 solution. From the values of normal potential E0' listed in Table 2, the distinct differences in 0.5 , 1.25 and 2 mol dm-3 H2SO4 solutions were easily to see. This demonstrated that in 1.25 and 2 mol dm-3 H2SO4 solutions Ce4+ existed in the same form of complex, but they were different from the complex ions in 0.5 mol dm-3 H2SO4 solution, and the complex in the former solution was more stable than that in the latter solution, the free Ce4+ was also less in the former solution so as to its normal potential was higher than that in the latter one. In H2SO4 solution, the Ce4+ could form the following complexes with SO42-  
Ce4+ + HSO4- = CeSO42+ + H+                                  (6)
CeSO42+ + HSO4- = Ce(SO4)2 + H+                  (7)
Ce(SO4)2 + HSO4- = Ce(SO4)32-                         (8)
where the equilibrium constants are 3500, 200 and 20[16] for reactions (6) - (8) respectively. While the concentration of H2SO4 was 0.5 mol dm-3, [Ce4+]/[Ce3+]=3/11, the parts of Ce(SO4)32- of the complexes were less, accordingly the free Ce4+ would be more. But in 1.25 and 2 mol dm-3 H2SO4 solutions the ratio of [Ce4+]/[Ce3+]<1/6, the three kinds of complexes could all exist in solution but the free Ce4+ may be correspondingly less.

0.5 0.849 0.697 0.622 0.382 0.34

From Table 2, it was clear that the reversibility of Ce4+/Ce3+ couple improved with the increase of H2SO4 concentration. As the DEp decreased with the increase of H2SO4 concentration, Above two points showed that the Ce4+/Ce3+ couple was not simply an one-electron transfer reaction

but the reactant and product were concerned with SO42- and H+, Randle[9] reported that the possible reactions may be:

3.5 The effect of different inert working electrodes on the Ce4+/Ce3+ couple
Fig.3, 6, 7 were the cyclic voltammogram results of Ce4+/Ce3+ couple at Pt, GC and Gr electrodes. Judged by the difference of anodic and cathodic peak potential, the reversibility of Ce4+/Ce3+ couple at Gr electrode was the best, then the GC electrode, and the Pt electrode was the poorest one. It was clear that, at the surfaces of GC and Gr electrodes, while the sweep rate <0.05 V·s-1, little varied Epc, when the sweep rate < 0.005 V·s-1, the values of Epa varied little, too. This proved that there was no absorption on the surface of GC, Gr electrodes, and the non-Faraday charge was slight. The overcharge was caused mostly by the heterogeneous charge transfer. Because of the similarity of
DEp between cathodic and anodic peak potential under different sweep rate, therefore the values of a and kc could not be obtained by the equation (3).

Within the scanning width of cyclic voltam, mogram (<1.3 V), it was impossible to produce oxide on the surface of GC and Gr electrodes, so there was no inhibition to the oxidation of Ce3+. But in the rotating ring disk electrode experiment (to be published), while the potential was above 1.5 V, there did produce a layer of oxidation film at the surface of GC electrode.

4. CONCLUSIONS
According to the above statements, some conclusions can be surely drawn as follows. The type I platinum oxide with a specific conductance of 10-6
W-1cm-1 fully covered at the surface of the electrode just inhibited the redox reaction to some extent. And the forms of electroactive substances existed in the solution varied a bit with the different SOC of Ce4+/Ce3+ system. In addition, the H2SO4 concentration had an apparent effect on the reversibility of Ce4+/Ce3+ system, which could be clearly seen here with the increase of H2SO4 concentration from 0.5 mol·dm-3 to 2 mol·dm-3, the reversibility of the system has visibly improved. Finally, because of no adsorption of Ce4+ or Ce3+ and formation of oxides at the surface of GC and Gr electrodes, these Carbon electrodes were more suitable for Ce4+/Ce3+ system than the platinum electrode. In short, the cyclic voltammogram results have demonstrated the feasibility of replacing V5+/V4+ with very high concentration of Ce4+/Ce3+ and forming a completely novel redox cell.
