Via layer-by-layer assembly, the polyoxometalates of Keggin type, SiW11O39Ni(H2O)6-(SiNiW11) and SiW11O39Mn(H2O)6-(SiMnW11) were first immobilized on a 4-aminothiophenol(4-ATP) modified glassy carbon electrode surface. The electrochemical behavior of these polyoxometalates was investigated. They exhibited some special properties in the films, which are different from those in a homogeneous aqueous solution. Their reaction mechanism in a multilayer film is proposed. The electrocatalytic behavior of these multilayer film electrodes for the reduction of BrO-3 and NO-2 were comparatively studied.
