Poly(2-methyl aniline) or poly(ortho-toluidine), as ring substituted derivative of aniline, has been synthesized electrochemically in various concentrations of H2SO4 and HCl, and then characterized by cyclic voltammetry, as well as by impedance and Raman spectroscopy. The cyclic voltammograms of poly(o-toluidine) and poly(aniline) show that the electrochemical polymerization of these two polymers proceeds by almost identical mechanisms. The Raman spectroscopical measurements suggest that the redox reactions of poly(aniline) and poly(o-toluidine) are similar in the potential range between -0.2 and 0.7V vs. SCE. The impedance measurements showed that the conductivity of poly(o-toluidine) is an order of magnitude lower than that of the corresponding poly(aniline) form.

AbstractPolyaniline has been synthesized in propylene carbonate by galvanostatic electrochemical polymerization at current densities between 16 and 1000 μA/cm2. Earlier results for polypyrrole have shown that low and high current density films have different properties: The films synthesized at low current density have a higher conjugation length and a more regular structure. The corresponding effect in PANI has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and UV/visible spectroscopy. Simultaneous measurement of cyclic voltammograms and the absorbtion of selected spectral lines is used because of the complex nature of the PANI system which involves several redox systems as well as forms differing in the degree of protonation and morphology.The main result is that the method of galvanostatic synthesis at low current densities (-16 μA/cm2) produces polyaniline polymers of different, more conjugated and more regular structure than those prepared at higher current densities. The standard method of in situ layer-by-layer polymerization of conducting polymers during cyclic voltammetry often results in uncontrolled and unmeasured current densities of 0.5-2 mA/cm2 which produces a film that probably has a less regular structure containing more deviations from ideality.

The complexation of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with neutral, anionic and cationic porphyrins has been investigated under identical complex forming conditions. The determination of the porphyrin loading reveals large differences depending on the nature of the porphyrin used. Combinations of different porphyrins to form mixed hetero-porphyrin complexes shows that the mixture of a cationic and anionic porphyrin results in loading which is an order of magnitude larger than in all other complexes. This complex also exhibits high adsorption and emission intensities and can be regarded as an extended co-operative binary ionic (CBI) solid. The complexes were further studied using Raman spectroscopy, elemental analysis, AFM and cyclic voltammetry.

Abstract: Polyaniline was electrochemically synthesized on stainless steel using sulfuric acid as the doping agent through cyclic voltammetry. The influences of the aniline monomer concentration and cycle number on electrochemical performance were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and the electrochemical impedance spectra. The results show that increasing aniline concentration leads to the increase of aniline electrochemical polymerization rate. The mass specific capacitance of polyaniline electrode increases with the increase of aniline concentration for 10 cycles and it reaches 769.55 F/g at the aniline concentration of 0.3mol/L. However, the capacitances of polyaniline prepared at different aniline concentrations display no apparent differences for 15 or 20 cycles. Furthermore, the capacitance decreases with the increase of cycling number. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopes show that the polyaniline keeps superior conducting performance in the potential range of 0.1V~0.4V

This paper illustrates the potential ofmicroalgae in electricity production.The present study focuses on searching for, indigenous microalgal strains from various aquatic sources exhibiting electrogenic activity. Sixteen microalgal strains were obtained from the diverse water bodies and assessed for electron transfer ability between cell and electrode. Six algal strains were screened out of eighteen for potential electrogenicity, based on cyclic voltammetry assay. In contrast to other algal strains, the cyclic voltammograms of Hindakia sp. isolated from paddy fields displayed an oxidation peak under anaerobic conditions in the potential range of +100 to +200 mV, while no distinct peaks were observed in other strains. This research broadened the exoelectrogen and identified model microalgae for investigating the extracellular electron transport process.

The formation of molecular films of 2,9,16,23-tetraamino metal phthalocyanines [TAM(II)Pc; M (II) = Co, Cu, and TAM(III)Pc; M = Fe] by spontaneous adsorption on gold and silver surfaces is described. The properties of these films have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry, impedance, and FT-Raman spectroscopy. The charge associated with Co(II) and Co(I) redox couple in voltammetric data leads to a coverage of (0.35 ± 0.05) x 10-10 mol cm-2, suggesting that the tetraamino cobalt phthalocyanine is adsorbed as a monolayer with an almost complete coverage. The blocking behavior of the films toward oxygen and Fe(CN)63-/4- redox couple have been followed by cyclic voltammetry and impedance measurements. This leads to an estimate of the coverage of about 85% in the case of copper and the iron analogs. FT-Raman studies show characteristic bands around 236 cm-1 revealing the interaction between the metal substrate and the nitrogen of the -NH2 group on the phthalocyanine molecules.

We developed an efficient and convenient electrochemical method to synthesize π-conjugated redox metal-complex linear polymer wires composed of azobenzene-bridged bis(terpyridine)metal (2-M, M = Fe, Ru) units covalently immobilized on glassy carbon (GC). Polymerization proceeds by electrochemical oxidation of bis(4′-(4-anilino)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine)metal (1-M) in a water–acetonitrile–HClO4 solution, affording ultralong wires up to 7400 mers (corresponding to ca. 15 μm). Both 2-Fe and 2-Ru undergo reversible redox reactions, and their redox behaviors indicate remarkably fast redox conduction. Anisotropic hetero-metal-complex polymer wires with Fe and Ru centers are constructed via stepwise electropolymerization. The cyclic voltammograms of two hetero-metal-complex polymer wires, GC/[2-Fe]–[2-Ru] (3) and GC/[2-Ru]–[2-Fe] (4), show irreversible redox reactions with opposite electron transfer characteristics, indicating redox diodelike behavior. In short, the present electrochemical method is useful to synthesize polymer wire arrays and to integrate functional molecules on carbon.

Redox behaviors and hydrogen evolution efficiencies of Pd and Mo deposited Pd electrodes have been investigated in 30wt.% KOH electrolyte by cyclic voltammetry. Cyclic voltammograms of Pd electrode in between the potential range - 1.05 V to + 0.75 V showed two couples of redox peaks for the transformations of Pd(0) ←→ Pd(OH)2 and Pd(OH)2 ←→ PdOOH, an anodic peak for the desorption of diffusional hydrogen (dH) and hydrogen and oxygen evolutions at the terminal potential regions. Hydrogen evolution efficiency found decreased with time and then reached to a stable condition after 35 minutes. In presence of deposited Mo, the electrode stable condition appeared after 10 minutes only. Pd found predominates over deposited Mo. Both the Pd(0) ←Pd(OH)2 and Mo(0) ← Mo(OH)2 transformations appeared at the same potential value. Mo stopped the movement of hydrogen adsorption and absorption region of Pd electrode towards negative potential direction. It increased the hydrogen evolution efficiency of Pd electrode remarkably. At the potentials - 1.1 V, - 1.2 V, - 1.25 V and - 1.3 V, currents for Pd + Mo system found 1.44, 1.25, 1.20, 1.23 times higher than those of Pd electrode. Mo also showed hydrogen migratory role to the fraction of Pd surface covered by it. Hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) over Pd and Pd + Mo surfaces seemed followed similar mechanisms. Tafel plots for the HER for both the systems showed two Tafel regions. Exchange current density values (io) for the low and high overpotential regions of Pd + Mo system showed 2.85 times and 1.29 times higher values than those of Pd electrode.
