The electrocatalytic oxidation of ferrocene (Fc) at neutral pH in aqueous solution has been studied over thin films of electroactive sulfonated polyaniline (SPAN) by cyclic voltammetry. Strong adsorption of the oxidised species (ferrocenium ion) on the polymer arises as the…

Electrodeposition of Pt nanoparticles under
potentiostatic conditions was performed on several types of carbon electrode supports: commercial macroporous carbon (a three-dimensional electrode), glassy carbon and
graphite. Conducting polymers (poly-aniline and poly-oaminophenol) were also used. The platinum nanoparticles were obtained by…

The electrochemical homopolymerization of o-aminobenzoic acid has been performed on both gold and graphite surfaces in perchloric acid aqueous medium by cyclic scanning of the potential. Electroactive polymeric materials are formed in all cases but the amount of electropolymerization products…

The electrochemical reduction of perchloroethylene (PCE) in water has been analyzed through voltammetric studies with a
rotating disc electrode and controlled potential bulk electrolysis. The influence of the mass transport conditions and initial concentration on lead, copper and carbon electrodes…

Different Pt-based electrocatalysts supported on carbon nanofibers and carbon black (Vulcan XC-72R) have been prepared using a polymermediated synthesis. The electrocatalysts have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and cyclic voltammetry. The effect of carbon nanofibers…

Nanostructured cobalt oxide (Co3O4) electrodes were prepared by two different methods. The first one involved the synthesis of Co3O4 nanoparticles through a nanocasting route using commercial silica gel as a sacrificial template, and in the second one, the Co3O4 electrodes…

Activated carbon/polyaniline composites have been prepared using different electrochemical methods: single-step potentiostatic polymerization, multiple-step potentiostatic polymerization, and potentiodynamic polymerization with the anodic potential limits being fixed at either 0.75 or 1 V (vs Ag/AgCl). The prepared composite samples were characterized…

A detailed study about the synthesis, characterization and properties of poly(o-methylaniline)(PoMea)/maghnite nanocomposites
has been performed. Changes in the characteristics of the nanocomposites, depending on the intercalated cation
between the clay layers before the synthesis, have been observed. Intercalated morphology has…

The mass transport rates to planar electrodes, in a series of electrochemical laboratory filter-press reactors were measured to quantify the effects of the inlet and outlet design manifolds on the fluid flow. In small reactors, entrance/exit effects are especially important…

The templated growth of polyaniline through porous sol–gel films on ITO substrates has been performed. The polyaniline–silica composites have been synthesized by electrochemical reactive insertion in potentiodynamic and potentiostatic conditions. When the polymer is synthesized by potential step experiments, the…
