The viscoelastic properties of thin films of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) have been studied using the method of acoustic impedance. The films were deposited on the Au electrodes of 10 MHz AT-cut quartz thickness shear mode resonators and exposed to acetonitrile solutions of 0.1 M TEABF4 and LiClO4. For p-doped films, admittance spectra as a function of potential (E), temperature (T)...

a new poly(vinylchloride) membrane sensor for cr3+ ions based on di (benzylamino)glyoxime asan ionophore was prepared. the electrode has a linear dynamic range 1×10-6-1×10-1 mol l-1,with anernstian slope of 20.3 ± 0.5 mv per decade and a detection limit of 2×10-7. it has a fast responsetime of

Chlorite dismutase (CD) catalyzes the disproportionation of chlorite to chloride (ClO(2)(-)-->Cl(-)+O(2)) and is present in bacteria capable of cell respiration using perchlorate or chlorate. The activity of this enzyme has previously been measured by monitoring oxygen evolution using a Clark-type dissolved oxygen (DO) probe. We demonstrate here, using two other methods to measure CD activity (...

Poly(vinylferrocenium) perchlorate-poly(3,3’-diaminobenzidine) (PVFClO4 -PDAB) composite film was synthesized electrochemically for the first time on Pt disc electrode in a dichloromethane solution containing poly(vinylferrocene) (PVF) polymer, 3,3’-diaminobenzidine (DAB) monomer and tetrabutylammonium perchlorate as supporting electrolyte. This modified electrode was characterized using cyclic...

A new approach on the synthesis of Si anodes for Li-ion batteries is reported, combining advantages of both nanoparticulated and continuous Si films. A multilayered configuration prototype is proposed, comprising amorphous Si arranged in nanostructured, mechanically heterogeneous films, interspersed with Ta nanoparticle scaffolds. Particular structural features such as increased surface roughne...

It has a fast response time ≤30s.The best performance was observed with themembrance having the 30....

A PVC ion-selective membrane electrode based on Cd-tetraphenyl porphyrine as a carrier was prepared fordetermination of MnO4- ion. This electrode revealed good selectivity toward permanganate ion over a widevariety of anions. Effects of some experimental parameters such as nature of the plasticizer, the amounts ofcarrier and additive, and concentration of the internal solution on the potential ...
