In this work, we have synthesized and discussed the results of electrosynthesis metal-polymer nanocomposites gold. Nanocoatings were made on pure iron steel electrodes by combining process electropolymerization 1-vinyl-1.2.4-triazole with crotonic acid cathodic deposition Using UV, IR atomic absorption spectroscopies, X-ray phase analysis, as well thermogravimetric elemental analyses, structure...

Understanding the mechanism of formation of solid-electrolyte interphases (SEI) is key to the prospects of lithium metal batteries (LMB). Here, we investigate via cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy and chronoamperometry the role of kinetics in controlling the properties of the SEI generated from the reduction of propylene carbonate (PC, a typical solvent in LMB). Our observations are co...

−− The electrocatalytic properties of platinum nanoparticles incorporated into polyaniline films was investigated for oxidation of ethanol in sulfuric acid solutions. The electropolymerization of aniline and the electrochemical depositions of platinum particles into the polyaniline film were achieved by cyclic voltammetry. The effect of the formation conditions of platinum-modified polyaniline ...

The synthesis and electrochemical properties of novel block copolymers are reported. Three different norbornene derivatives having phenylene-thiophene, phenylene-bithiophene, and phenylene-furan structures were copolymerized with either norbornene or 7-oxanorbornene derivatives via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Block copolymers’ stabilities and solubilities could be improved by...
