Congratulations to Daniel Kaufman from Prof. Hadar Ben-Yoav's lab for his published paper in Chemical Engineering Journal! The article titled “The effect of ultraviolet photocatalytic oxidation on ferrocyanide electrochemical behavior—An important factor in mediator-based electrochemical sensors" reports the effect of UV light irradiation on the electrochemical properties of ferrocyanide – a common validation and analysis analyte in the electrochemical society. In addition, the paper suggests a thermodynamic model explaining the phenomena and discusses the effect of other wavelengths on ferrocyanide electrochemical signal.
