Synthesis, Characterization and Electrochemical Properties of Lanthanum Oxysulfate Nanoceramic

La2O2SO4 nanoceramic was synthesized via sol-gel method using lanthanum nitrate and thioacetamid as precursors and stearic acid as polymeric precursor. The characterization studies were conducted by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The result showed that the synthesized sample belongs to monoclinic structure with the average sizes between...

Electrochemical fabrication of polypyrrole nanofibers and their characterization

Polypyrrole (PPy) nanofibers have been fabricated on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) usingelectrochemical technique. Electropolymerization of pyrrole (Py) for the fabrication of PPy nanofiberswas occurred on GCE by applying a fixed potential of about 0.85 V for 120 sec in a mild basic solutioncontaining sodium carbonate and sodium perchlorate. In the mild basic media, the monomer, Py, isoxidized ...

Synthesis of Polypyrrole-Intercalated Grafted Zirconium Phosphate Films by Anodic Electrodeposition and Their Electrochemical Capacities

Ternary hybrid film composed of -zirconium phosphate nanosheet, 1,2-bis(dimethylchlorosilyl)ethane and polypyrrole was prepared by anodic electrodeposition. In the hybrid film, ordered -zirconium nanosheets with grafts by silylation lay down parallel to the substrate and the polypyrrole molecules were intercalated between the nanosheets. The electrochemical measurements confirmed that the hyb...

Doping Polypyrrole Films with 4-N-Pentylphenylboronic Acid to Enhance Affinity towards Bacteria and Dopamine

Here we demonstrate the use of a functional dopant as a fast and simple way to tune the chemical affinity and selectivity of polypyrrole films. More specifically, a boronic-functionalised dopant, 4-N-Pentylphenylboronic Acid (PBA), was used to provide to polypyrrole films with enhanced affinity towards diols. In order to prove the proposed concept, two model systems were explored: (i) the captu...
