Abstract Lignin derivatives, which arise as waste products from the pulp and paper industry are mainly used for heating, can be charge storage materials. The function is a result of quinone groups formed in lignin derivative. Herein, we modified lignins to enhance density such by covalently linking monolignols quinones through phenolation. extra guaiacyl, syringyl, hydroquinone introduced phenolation kraft derivatives were monitored 31 P nuclear magnetic resonance size exclusion...
Abstract The spatially controlled, template‐free, deposition of electroactive and biocompatible materials on 3D objects is great interest for wireless cell stimulation intended diverse applications ranging from electroceuticals to advanced sensor development. Bipolar electrochemistry provides the possibility depositing electrically conducting polymers controlled through (shaped) electric field distribution. A second advantage that can be performed in electrolyte‐free media potentially...
The potentials induced within a bipolar electrode are controlled by shaping the electric field using multiple feeder electrodes and demonstrated for wireless, regioselective, electrodeposition of poly-3,4(ethylenedioxythiophene).
Abstract Poly(benzopyrene) films were electrosynthesized on glassy carbon disk electrodes from benzo(a)pyrene by cyclic voltammetry in the presence of eriochrome black T, which forms strong complexes with lead ions. In consequence, conditioning high concentration (0.1 mol dm −3 Pb(NO 3 ) 2 potentiometric sensitivity to ions down 10 −5 Pb 2+ was induced, and a novel type lead‐sensitive electrode obtained. The is characterized stability potential readouts, good reproducibility calibration...
Abstract All‐solid‐state electrodes are increasingly being used in clinical, industrial and environmental analysis. This wide range of applications requires deep theoretical description such electrodes. work concentrates on the development a numerical tool for qualitative prediction electrochemical behaviour solid‐contact ion‐selective at low analyte concentrations. For this purpose, general approach to electro‐diffusion processes, namely Nernst‐Planck‐Poisson (NPP) model, was applied. The...
Nanoporous gold (NPG) is an effective material for electrocatalysis and can be made by self-assembly of nanoparticles at liquid–air interface.
New anthraquinone derivatives with either a single or two thiol groups (AQ1 and AQ2) were synthesized immobilized in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(111) electrodes via Au-S bonds. The resultant AQ1- AQ2-SAMs studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), which enabled mapping of the gold-carbonyl group interactions other dynamics bound molecular framework. Understanding these is important for research thiol-coated gold nanoclusters, since (I) are...
Abstract Novel water dispersible poly(benzimidazobenzophenanthroline) polymers functionalized with poly(ethylene oxide) (BBL:PEO) have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry, in situ UV‐vis spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The voltammograms recorded during n‐doping indicate that the drop coated BBL:PEO films retain their properties despite functionalization. A small influence of PEO side chains on redox was found, diminishing however after annealing. During spectroscopic...
