Platinum Nanoparticles Anchored on TiO2/C Nanowires as a High Performance Catalyst for Hydrogen Peroxide Eletroreduction

In this paper, we employed the as‐prepared TiO₂/C core/shell nanoarrays (TiO₂/C) obtained by a facile thermal evaporation method as a three‐dimensional (3D) architecture to support Pt nanoparticles through an optimized electrodeposition process. The morphology and structure of the as‐prepared electrode are characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Its catalytic performance towards H₂O₂ electroreduction in basic medium is evaluated by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and chronoamperometry (CV). Results revealed that the electrode exhibits significantly high catalytic activity. The current density reached –0.172 A cm⁻² in 1 mol dm⁻³ NaOH and 0.5 mol dm⁻³ H₂O₂ at –1.1 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). This high performance might be due to the 3D electrode architecture inheriting the high electronic conductivity from carbon shell and providing a short pathway for the ion diffusion, and the using of Pt owning an excellent catalytic activity.     

Construction and study on corrosion protective property of polydopamine-based 3-layer organic coatings on aluminum substrate

Metal aluminum (Al) is being widely used in industry and can be easily corroded in severe conditions. Recently, dopamine has been demonstrated to be an effective adhesive molecular that can be attached to virtually all material surfaces to form stable polydopamine coating (PDAc), exhibiting promising prospects in many fields. In this work, to improve the anti-corrosion performance of Al sheet, a novel polydopamine-based 3-layer organic coating has been constructed by a multi-step self-assembly technique for the first time. In brief, a self-assembled monolayer of (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (coded as MPTS-SAM) was firstly prepared for enhancing the adhesion between the PDAc and the Al substrate. Subsequently, a PDAc was assembled onto the Al substrate by a simple immersion into the dopamine hydrochloride solution at a pH of 8.5. At last, a layer of tetradecanoyl chloride was grafted onto the PDAc surface through amidation, which could apparently slow down the water diffusion to the interface of PDAc and Al for its prominent hydrophobicity. Corrosion resistance of the synthesized coating in NaCl solution was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement, respectively. As results show, PDAc on bare Al can protect the substrate from corrosion to a certain extent. Significantly, after being mediated by MPTS-SAM underlayer and covered by tetradecanoyl chloride outer layer, the anti-corrosion capability of the coating has been improved markedly.

Nonenzymatic glucose sensing based on deposited palladium nanoparticles on epoxy-silver electrodes

A new approach for nonenzymatic glucose sensing, based on a simple modification of epoxy-silver surfaces deposited on the tip of commercial copper electric wires, is presented. Palladium was galvanically displaced on the surface of the epoxy-silver surface in order to obtain metal nanoparticles that act as catalyst for the direct oxidation of glucose. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the formation of the metal nanoparticles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the metallic nature of the formed nanostructures on the surface. Electrochemical characterization and calibration of the palladium-modified epoxy-silver electrode is reported, obtaining a linear range of 1–20 mM for the detection of glucose with low interference of ascorbic acid and uric acid. A simple 3-step coulometry was used as the detection technique. The developed sensing material is believed to be a great candidate for integration in small devices for clinical essays, due to the simplicity and cost effectiveness of the presented approach, compared to the state-of-the-art devices reported recently in the literature. Simplicity in the coulometry determinations makes these Pd-modified epoxy-silver sensors a good candidate for easy glucose determinations.     

Platelet graphite nanofibers/soft polymer composites for electrochemical sensing and biosensing

The fabrication and attractive sensing and biosensing performance of platelet graphite nanofibers/polysulfone (PGNF/PSf) composite nanomaterials is described. The PGNF/PSf nanocomposites were fabricated by facile phase-inversion method. Their electrochemical performance was compared to the one of carbon nanotubes/PSf and graphite microparticles/PSf composite. It was clearly demonstrated that PGNF/PSf provides superior voltammetric and amperometric performance for sensing and biosensing over those two other sp² carbon materials. This can be attributed to the unparallel amount of electroactive edge sites on PGNF in which electroactivity is not impaired by the polysulfone binder. PGNF/PSf/glucose oxidase nanobiocomposite was prepared and used for proof-of-concept biosensing of glucose.     

Electrogenerated N-heterocyclic carbene: N-acylation of chiral oxazolidin-2-ones in ionic liquids

An electrochemical procedure for the N-acylation of chiral oxazolidin-2-ones, in the absence of volatile molecular organic solvents, has been set up via electrolyses of ionic liquid [bmim]BF₄ containing oxazolidin-2-ones followed by addition of saturated or unsaturated anhydrides. N-acyloxazolidin-2-ones were isolated in good to elevated yields. The electrochemically induced N-acylation of chiral oxazolidin-2-ones occurs with total retention of the absolute configuration of all the chiral atoms. The electrogenerated carbene (1-butyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-ylidene) has been indicated as the base involved in the deprotonation of chiral oxazolidin-2-ones.     

TiO2 protective coating processed by Atomic Layer Deposition for the improvement of MCFC cathode

One of the main issues for optimizing the molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) is the control of the corrosion and dissolution of the state-of-the-art porous nickel oxide cathode. A protective coating constituted by more stable oxides seems to be the best solution. In this paper, very thin layers of TiO₂ (50 and 300 nm) are processed by a sequential CVD technique, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), which produces high quality, homogeneous and conformal layers. Structural, morphological and electrochemical behaviors of TiO₂-coated samples are tested in a Li₂CO₃–K₂CO₃ (62:38 mol%) eutectic melt under a standard cathode atmosphere: CO₂/air (70:30 bar%). Ni solubility is determined by ICP-AES. The protective role of TiO₂ layers and the consequent decrease in Ni solubility have been clearly evidenced.
