metal—polyaniline nanocomposites such as platinum-polyaniline nanocomposite is prepared by insitu oxidative polymerization of aniline and reduction of pt+4 ions into pt nanoparticles. thepolymerization of aniline was carried out in the presence of 1(2ptcn6 [potassium hexa cyanoplatinate (iv)] as oxidizing agent. during the reaction aniline monomers undergo oxidation andform polyaniline (pant) w...

Background: Organic dyes are used for a wide variety of purposes including their applications in textiles, foods, printing cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Thus, these are industrially very important and their analysis is always required before putting to particular use. Methods: To develop the extremely efficient thin layer chromatographic system for the resolution of co-existing dyes, the silic...

A novel nanocomposite consisting of α-Fe2O3, Mn3O4 and reduced graphene oxide (r-GO) has been facilely synthesized through a two-step method: solvothermal reaction for Mn3O4-modified α-Fe2O3 (α-Fe2O3/Mn3O4) and self-assembly process for combining α-Fe2O3/Mn3O4 with r-GO (α-Fe2O3/Mn3O4/r-GO). The morphology and structure of the nanocomposite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scannin...

A simple one-step NaCl-assisted microwave-solvothermal method has been developed for the preparation of monodisperse a-Fe2O3 mesoporous microspheres. In this approach, Fe(NO3)3 · 9H2O is used as the iron source, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) acts as a surfactant in the presence of NaCl in mixed solvents of H2O and ethanol. Under the present experimental conditions, monodisperse a-Fe2O3 mesopor...

A unique hexagonal sheet-shaped NiO/CoO/Fe2O3 composite with irregularly shaped nanoparticles was fabricated for the first time through a simple co-precipitation and hydrothermal method. The NiO/CoO/Fe2O3 composite was characterized by numerous techniques (TEM, HRTEM, PXRD, EDX, ICP-AES, BET, and XPS) to confirm its structure and composition. This structure of the NiO/CoO/Fe2O3 composite may en...

Intrinsic short hole diffusion length is a well-known problem for α-Fe2O3 as a visible-light photocatalytic material. In this paper, a nanodisk morphology was designed to remarkably enhance separation of electron-hole pairs of α-Fe2O3. As expected, α-Fe2O3 nanodisks presented superior photocatalytic activity toward methylene blue degradation: more than 90% of the dye could be photodegraded with...

Herein, we report a simple and inexpensive way for the fabrication of an ultramicroelectrode and present its characterization by electrochemical techniques. The fabrication of polyaniline UME involves only two steps: modification of a gold (Au) electrode by self assembled monolayers (SAM) and then electrodeposition of polyaniline film on this thiol-coated Au electrode by using cyclic voltammetr...
