the combination of graphene (gr) and nickel oxide nanoparticles (nio nps) yields nanostructured electrochemical sensor formed a novel kind of structurally uniform and electrocatalytic activity material. in cyclic voltammetry (cv) studies, in the presence of ep, nio/gr composite modified electrode shows a significantly higher current response for ep oxidation. based on differential pulse voltamm...

Indirect cholesterol electrochemical oxidation in the presence of various mediators leads to electrophilic addition to the double bond, oxidation at the allylic position, oxidation of the hydroxy group, or functionalization of the side chain. Recent studies have proven that direct electrochemical oxidation of cholesterol is also possible and affords different products depending on the reaction ...

Biuret-modified tetraamidomacrocyclic cobalt complex [CoIII-bTAML]- is shown to catalyze electrochemical water oxidation at basic pH leading to the formation of O2. Electrochemical and spectroscopic studies indicate a high valent cobalt oxo intermediate isoelectronic to CoV(O) as the active oxidant. The kinetic isotope effect of 8.63 indicates an atom proton transfer mechanism.

A bifunctional molecular linker containing both aryl diazonium and trioxolane groups was synthesised and its ability to sequentially functionalise glassy carbon and covalently immobilise heme investigated. Functionalisation was demonstrated by electrochemical techniques.

High throughput electrochemical techniques are widely applied in material discovery and optimization. For many applications, the most desirable electrochemical characterization requires a three-electrode cell under potentiostat control. In high throughput screening, a material library is explored by either employing an array of such cells, or rastering a single cell over the library. To attain ...

we report the enhanced capacitance of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) after a chemical unzipping process in concentrated sulfuric acid (h2so4) and potassium permanganate (kmno4). the effects of the test duration and temperature were investigated on the unzipping process of the mwcnts to synthesize the graphene oxide nanoribbons. the sem and tem studies were carried out on untreated a...

A series of pyrene-centered starburst oligocarbazoles (1-3) have been synthesized and well characterized. Based on photophysical, thermal and electrochemical studies in solutions and as thin films, all starburst molecules reveal a sky blue emission with a high efficiency (Φ(F) = 0.99-0.81) and excellent thermal and electrochemical stabilities. As OLED materials, these superior properties are he...

A novel electrochemical setup has been developed for soft x-ray absorption studies of the electronic structure of electrode materials during electrochemical cycling. In this communication we illustrate the operation of the cell with a study of the corrosion behavior of copper in aqueous NaHCO3 solution via the electrochemically induced changes of its electronic structure. This development opens...
