Journal of Electrochemistry
Compared with noble metal platinum (Pt)-based catalysts, inexpensive non-noble metal electrocatalysts have attracted extensive attention for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, chitosan as a kind of biomass resource rich in nitrogen and carbon was used to prepare nitrogen-doped carbon (N-C) and N-C in-situ anchored by copper nanoparticles (Cu/N-C). The as-obtained N-C and Cu/N-C nanoparticles were successfully used as non-noble eletrocatalysts tested for ORR. Compared with the N-C, the Cu/N-C showed the high surface area of 607.3 m 2·g-1 with the mean pore size of 2.5 nm and the pore volume of 0.40 cm3·g-1. The most positive Gibbs free …

Journal of Electrochemistry
A novel platform for the fabrication of glucose biosensor was successfully constructed by entrapping glucose oxidase (GOD) in a ferrocene monocarboxylic acid-aminated Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles conjugate (FMC-AFNPs)/chitosan (CS)/multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) nanocomposite. The formation of FMC-AFNPs could effectively prevent the leakage of ferrocene and retain its electrochemical activity. This GOD/FMC-AFNPs/CS/MWNTs matrix provided a biocompatible microenvironment for retaining the native activity of the immobilized GOD. Moreover, the presence of MWNTs enhanced the charge-transport properties of the composite and facilitated electron transfer between the GOD and the electrode for the electrocatalysis of glucose. Under the optimal conditions the designed …

Journal of Electrochemistry
Silver was deposited homogeneously on the surface of polyamide fabric by electroless plating without activation and sensitization. The electroless silver plating process was optimized with the orthogonal array testing strategy. It is found that the optimum conditions are the electroless plating time of 50 min with the concentrations of silver nitrate, sodium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide being 14 g·L-1, 6 g·L-1 and 130 mL·L-1, respectively. The surface morphologies, compositions, and phases of fabric samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD). The wear-resisting property was tested by friction fastness …

Journal of Electrochemistry
The LiFePO4/C cathode materials for Li-ion battery were synthesized by sol-gel and calcining method using chitosan monomer as a carbon source and a gelating agent. The structures and morphologies were characterized by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical performance was investigated by the galvanostatic charge–discharge test. When the molar ratios between chitosan monomer and LiFePO4 were 1:1.2, the LiFePO4/C cathode calcined at 600 oC showed the best performance. The particle sizes ranged 200 ～ 400 nm. The initial discharge capacity of 155 mAh.g-1 was achieved at room temperature …

Preparations And Characters For Acetamiprid Of Molecular Imprinted Polymer Electrochemical Sensors, Bin Liu, Yong-Xing Huang, Hui-Ting Lian, Hong-Mei Wu
Journal of Electrochemistry
A novel molecularly imprinted membranes electrochemical sensor with good memory capacity to acetamiprid was developed. Based on electrodeposition technique, chitosan was deposited onto the surface of gold electrode as a functional polymer matrix along with aimed molecules acetamiprid and glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent. Cationic probe Ru(NH3)6Cl3 was employed to indirectly investigate the electrochemical characteristics as well as the imprinted effect of the sensors. The results showed that the sensors had a specific recognition to acetamiprid compared to the structural similarity midacloprid and other pesticide. There is more sensitive response to acetamiprid at imprinted sensors than that at nonprinted sensors …

The cyclic voltammgram of Mb/AAO/Au Colloid/GCE shows a pair of well-defined and nearly reversible peaks at about-0.20 V(vs.Ag/AgCl) in 0.1 mol/L NaAc-HAc buffer(pH = 5.4),being the characteristic peaks of the Mb heme Fe(Ⅲ) / Fe(Ⅱ)redox couples.The electron transfer between Mb and the electrode was greatly enhanced under present testing conditions.The effects of scan rate,pH and buffers concentration on the electrochemical behaviors of Mb were studied in detail.Position of the Soret absorbance band suggested that Mb in chitosan-colloidal gold hept its secondary structure similar to the native states.Oxygen was catalytically reduced by Mb in chitosan-colloidal gold films.
