Abstract A small scale of environmentally hazardous 4-aminophenol can show significant impact on human health. Hence, in the present work, we have designed L-Valine film (Vf) modified carbon paste electrode (Vf/CPE) for the determination of 4-aminophenol. Herein, a facile in-situ L-Valine film was developed by electrochemical polymerization method onto the surface of bare carbon paste electrode (BCPE) with the help of cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique. A two-folds of electrochemical peak current enhancement was achieved at Vf/CPE in comparison with BCPE towards the determination of 4-aminophenol in optimum pH 7.0 of phosphate buffer solution (PBS). This was achieved due to the large surface area and conductive nature of Vf/CPE, which was concluded through the techniques of cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The effect of pH of buffer and scan rate studies were successfully studied. Morphological changes of BCPE and Vf/CPE was studied with the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The formation of Vf on CPE was also analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. Under the optimized conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) values of 4-aminophenol were estimated with the aid of chronoamperometry (CA) technique and was found to be 9.8 μM and 32 μM, respectively. Finally the proposed method was found to have satisfactory repeatability, reproducibility and stability results with low relative standard deviation (RSD) values.

The aims of this work were to examine the new electrode, based on polymer bacteria modified aluminum electrode for simultaneous production of electricity and degradation of phenol. This electrode is based aluminum modified by bacteria inserted in the polymer matrix, developed in situ on the surface. This electrode, designated subsequently by bacteria-polymer-aluminum, Showed stable response and was characterized with voltametric methods, as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The experimental results revealed that the prepared electrode could be a feasible for degradation of hazardous phenol pollutants. The sensor was successfully applied to the determination of phenol in a real sample with satisfactory results.

Polyaniline (PANI) wrapped Ti2Nb10O29 (TNO) micro-spherical composites were successfully synthesized via a solvothermal approach combined with a facial post in-situ polymerization method. Effects of different amounts of the PANI coatings on the composite microspheres’ electrochemical properties were studied in detail. Results showed that the electrochemical performance of TNO@PANI anodes with 5 wt% PANI is the optimum among all the samples, giving capacity values as high as 272 mAh/g (1 C) and 190.1 mAh/g (20 C), respectively. Moreover, the electrochemical impedance measurements exhibited that 5 wt% TNO@PANI composite electrode material possess a weaker charge transfer resistance. This indicates that an appropriate amount of polyaniline coating can effectively improve the electronic conductivity of TNO microspheres and subsequently the electrochemical properties. In this work, we have demonstrated that 3D TNO@PANI composite microspheres not only deliver a higher initial Columbic efficiency but also can serve as next-generation lithium-ion battery electrode material with enhanced rate performance.

ABSTRACT 1. An indirect paperchromatographic method is described for separating urinary oestrogens; this consists of the following steps: acidic hydrolysis, extraction with ether, dissociation of phenol-fractions with partition between the solvents. Previous purification of phenol fraction with the aid of paperchromatography. The elution of oestrogen containing fractions is followed by acetylation. Oestrogen acetate is isolated by re-chromatography. The chromatogram was developed after hydrolysis of the oestrogens 'in situ' on the paper. The quantity of oestrogens was determined indirectly, by means of an iron-reaction, after the elution of the iron content of the oestrogen spot, which was developed by the Jellinek-reaction. 2. The method described above is satisfactory for determining urinary oestrogen, 17β-oestradiol and oestriol, but could include 16-epioestriol and other oestrogenic metabolites. 3. The sensitivity of the method is 1.3–1.6 μg/24 hours. 4. The quantitative and qualitative determination of urinary oestrogens with the above mentioned method was performed in 50 pregnant and 9 non pregnant women, and also in 2 patients with granulosa cell tumour.
