The electrochemical oxidation of serine and alanine was performed at Pt(100) and Pt(110) electrodes and analysed by means of FTIR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The open circuit adsorption of both amino acids was also investigated. The oxidation of serine gives…

The electrochemical homo-polymerization of o-, m- and p-aminobenzoic acids has been performed on Pt electrodes in perchloric acid aqueous medium by cyclic scanning of the potential. Different limit potentials were employed to obtain thin polymeric films. When the switching potential…

The poly(o-aminophenol) (POAP) redox process has been studied in aqueous acid solution using spectroscopic and optic in situ
techniques. The redox transition of the POAP from its completely oxidized state to its completely reduced state occurs through two
consecutive reactions…

The adsorption and reactivity of citrate anions, cyanide anions, and the Au(I) and Au(III) cyanocomplexes (KAu(CN)2 and KAu(CN)4, respectively) on gold polycrystalline electrodes have been investigated by means of cyclic voltammetry and in situ FTIR spectroscopy in pH 7 sodium…

The redox process undergone by the electrochemically synthesized poly(2,2-dithiodianiline), poly(DTDA), has been examined in
acetonitrile-water mixtures by electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques. The spectroscopic properties of this material are equivalent to those exhibited by the chemically synthesized one. The polymeric structure…

Aniline (ANI) and 2-aminoterephthalic acid (2ATA) copolymers, with different compositions, were prepared by
chemical oxidative polymerization varying the feed ratio. The new materials have been characterized by techniques such
as XPS, FTIR, Raman spectroscopies and thermal analysis. It has been…

The electrochemical oxidation of the aniline dimers 2-aminodiphenylamine (2-adpa) and 4-aminodiphenylamine (4-adpa) has been
performed in strongly acidic medium on platinum, graphite, and indium tin oxide electrodes. The resulting films have been
characterized by a number of electrochemical, microscopic, and…

The electrochemical regeneration of an activated carbon, previously saturated with toluene by gas phase adsorption, was studied. Cathodic and anodic regeneration methods were analyzed using a small batch electrochemical cell. In both cases, a stripping efficiency close to 100% was…

Energy storage technologies provide an alternative solution to the problem of balancing power generation and power consumption. Redox flow cells are designed to convert and store electrical energy into chemical energy and release it in a controlled fashion when required.…

Electrocrystallisation of lead dioxide on glassy carbon electrodes was studied in 1 M HNO3+ 0.1 M Pb(NO3)2 in the presence of ultrasound using chronoamperometry and scanning electron microscopy. In order to compare these results with those obtained in the absence…
