Self‐Supported Electrocatalysts Derived from Nickel‐Cobalt Modified Polyaniline Polymer for H 2 ‐Evolution and O 2 ‐Evolution Reactions

Efficient metal-free electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction: polyaniline-derived N- and O-doped mesoporous carbons.

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)-one of the two half-reactions in fuel cells-is one of the bottlenecks that has prevented fuel cells from finding a wide range of applications today. This is because ORR is inherently a sluggish reaction; it is also because inexpensive and sustainable ORR electrocatalysts that are not only efficient but also are based on earth-abundant elements are hard to com...

Three-dimensional structure of nanocomposites from atomic pair distribution function analysis: study of polyaniline and (polyaniline)(0.5)V(2)O(5) x 1.0 H(2)O.

The three-dimensional structures of emeraldine base polyaniline (PANI) and (polyaniline)(0.5)V(2)O(5) x 1.0 H(2)O have been determined by total X-ray scattering experiments. Atomic pair distribution functions (PDF) were measured to obtain experimental observables against which structural models were tested and refined. The PDF approach is necessary because of the limited structural coherence in...

Synthesis and characterization of Schiff-base polymer derived from 2,5-dichloroaniline and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde

Schiff base sal-2,5-Clan = 2-(2,5-dichlorobenzylideneamino)phenol used as a new precursor for preparation of poly-2-(2,5-dichlorobenzylideneamino)phenol (PDCBAP). In an aqueous alkaline medium, NaOCl oxidant is capable of oxidative poly-condensation reaction (OP). Both sal-2,5-Clan and PDCBAP were characterized by solubility tests, FT-IR, 1H-NMR spectroscopy and TG-DTA studies. FT-IR and 1H-NMR...

Kinetics of HO 2 + HO 2 ! H 2 O 2 + O 2 : Implications for Stratospheric H

[1] The reaction HO2 + HO2 ! H2O2 + O2 (1) has been studied at 100 Torr and 222 K to 295 K. Experiments employing photolysis of Cl2/CH3OH/O2/N2 and F2/H2/O2/N2 gas mixtures to produce HO2 confirmed that methanol enhanced the observed reaction rate. At 100 Torr, zero methanol, k1 = (8.8 ± 0.9) 10 13 exp[(210 ± 26)/T] cm molecule 1 s 1 (2s uncertainties), which agrees with current recommendations...
