1. Materials synthesis and characterization Catalyst synthesis: Commercially available TiO 2 , with the particle size ranging from 50 to 150 nm and in the B.E.T. surface area from 50 to 100 m 2 /g, was first treated in 0.5 M HCl solution for 24 hours to remove impurities. In a typical approach to the synthesis of the PANI-Fe-TiO 2 catalyst, 2.0 mL aniline was first dispersed in 0.5 M HCl soluti...

Abstract Selective and efficient ammonia (NH 3 ) production using an electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (ECNtRR) under ambient conditions provides a green promising alternative to the traditional energy-intensive Haber–Bosch process. The challenge is in design controlled syntheses of electrocatalysts with high selectivities, NH yield rates (Y NH3 long-term stabilities. Here, freestandi...

In this study, undoped ZnO and doped with Fe and Mn nanostructures were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The morphology of nanostructures was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope. The electrochemical response of the carbon paste electrode modified with nanoparticles of ZnO and also ZnO doped with Fe and Mn toward levodopa (L-Dopa) was studied. Studies of cyclic voltammetry using pro...

In this work a new chemically modified carbon paste electrode was constructed for accurate, simple, sensitive and selective determination of molybdenum (VI) ions. The results of modified electrode by an ion imprinted polymer were compared with those obtained with carbon paste electrode. The results showed the stripping peak currents had a dramatic increase at the modified electrode. Under the o...

A series of α-Fe₂O₃ nanocrystals (NCs) with fascinating morphologies, such as hollow nanoolives, nanotubes, nanospindles, and nanoplates, were prepared through a simple template-free hydrothermal synthesis process. The results showed that the morphologies could be easily controlled by SO₄2- and H₂PO₄-. Physical property analysis showed that the α-Fe₂O₃ NCs exhibited shape- and size-dependent fe...

Copyright © Korean Carbon Society http://carbonlett.org Abstract In this work, iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were deposited on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by a simple chemical coprecipitation method and Fe3O4-decorated MWNTs (Fe-MWNTs)/polypyrrole (PPy) nanocomposites (Fe-MWNTs/PPy) were prepared by oxidation polymerization. The effect of the PPy on the electrochemical properties o...

A stable Fe(4-TMPyP)-DNA-PADDA (FePyDP) film was characterized on pyrolytic graphite electrode (PGE) or an indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode through the supramolecular interaction between water-soluble iron porphyrin (Fe(4-TMPyP)) and DNA template, where PADDA (poly(acrylamide-co-diallyldimethylammonium chloride) is employed as a co-immobilizing polymer. Cyclic voltammetry of FePyDP film showed ...

an iodide ion-selective pvc membrane sensor based on copper (π)-bis-nphenilsalicyldenaminatocomplex as a novel sensing material is successfully developed. theelectrode showed a good selectivity for iodide ion with respect to common inorganic anions. thesensor exhibited a good linear response with slope of _58.6 ± 0.4 mv per decade over theconcentration range of 5.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-1 mol l-1,...

Abstract Atomically‐dispersed copper sites coordinated with nitrogen‐doped carbon (Cu–N–C) can provide novel possibilities to enable highly selective and active electrochemical CO 2 reduction reactions. However, the construction of optimal local electronic structures for nitrogen‐coordinated Cu (Cu–N 4 ) on remains challenging. Here, we synthesized Cu–N–C catalysts atomically‐dispersed edge‐hos...
