The electropolymerization and doping/dedoping properties of polyaniline ultrathin films on Au electrode surfaces were investigated by a combination of in situ electrochemical techniques, i.e., electrochemical surface plasmon spectroscopy (ESPR) and the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). In the ESPR measurements, we employed two wavelengths, i.e., 632.8 and 1152 nm in order to d...

The understanding of the electrochemical properties of nanopores is the key factor for better understanding their performance and applications for nanopore-based sensing devices. In this study, the influence of pore dimensions of nanoporous alumina (NPA) membranes prepared by an anodization process and their electrochemical properties as a sensing platform using impedance spectroscopy was explo...

The phenomenon of corrosion in metallic materials such as 316 stainless steel (316SS), produce a degradation which is mainly represented by the lost of metallic properties. One way to study this phenomenon is analyzing microscope digital images of materials exposed to corrosive processes, and the analysis of electrochemical signals using electrochemical noise measurements. The traditional techn...

Copyright © Korean Carbon Society http://carbonlett.org Abstract In this work, iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were deposited on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by a simple chemical coprecipitation method and Fe3O4-decorated MWNTs (Fe-MWNTs)/polypyrrole (PPy) nanocomposites (Fe-MWNTs/PPy) were prepared by oxidation polymerization. The effect of the PPy on the electrochemical properties o...

The development and application of nanowires for electrochemical sensors and biosensors are reviewed in this article. Next generation sensor platforms will require significant improvements in sensitivity, specificity and parallelism in order to meet the future needs in variety of fields. Sensors made of nanowires exploit some fundamental nanoscopic effect in order to meet these requirements. Na...

The influence of increasing the SiO2/K2O molar ratio on the electrochemical action of a waterborne potassium silicate zinc-rich coating was investigated by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and corrosion potential (Ecorr) measurements. The EIS results showed that increasing the SiO2/K2O molar ratio in the range of 3.135 to 5 by the addition of nano-SiO2 to the resins improve...

Electrochemical microreactors, which have electrodes integrated into the flow path, can afford rapid and efficient electrochemical reactions without redox reagents due to the intrinsic properties of short diffusion distances. Taking advantage of electrochemical microreactors, Kolbe electrolysis of di-and trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of various electron-deficient alkenes was performed un...

Among numerous active electrode materials, nickel hydroxide is a promising electrode in electrochemical capacitors. Nickel hydroxide research has thus far focused on the crystalline rather than the amorphous phase, despite the impressive electrochemical properties of the latter, which includes an improved electrochemical efficiency due to disorder. Here we demonstrate high-performance electroch...

Robust composite nanofibers (NFs) are prerequisite for highly efficient electrochemical sensors. We report the electrochemical application of gold nanoparticle (Au NP)-composite Nafion NFs using a facile electrospinning technique. Owing to the uniform distribution and large surface area of the Au NPs in the NFs, the Au NP-composite electrodes gave rise to greatly improved electrochemical proper...
