“…According to earlier reports, the electroreduction of TFA [3] and other PFCAs [4] on mercury electrode gave rise to only a single cathodic peak. It is quite interesting to note two distinct peaks for the same compound on glassy carbon electrode.…”

“…In the presence of protons, the ester group is reduced to aldehyde group. The electroreduction process occurs at lower reduction potentials with increasing chain length of the perfluoroalkyl group [4]. Perfluorocarbons containing double bonds or branched chains undergo facile polymerization in addition to carbon-fluorine bond reduction on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) [5].…”

Voltammetric responses of trifluoroacetic acid, perfluorobutyric acid, perfluorohexanoic acid, and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) were studied in acetonitrile/tetra-nbutylammonium perchlorate medium on glassy carbon electrode. All the four acids gave two voltammetric waves. PFOA exhibits blocking effects. In the presence of excess water, the first cathodic peak current increases, and the second peak disappeared. Very small quantity of triethylamine (TEA; 1-2 mM) was found to be effective in suppressing the first cathodic peak. Both the peak current and peak potential values were sensitive to water and TEA content. The ester derivatives of all the four perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs), however, gave well-defined cathodic reduction peak around −2.3 V. This peak appears to be the best choice for quantitative estimation of PFCAs.
