Transient Electrochemical Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopic Study In Electrochemical Reduction Of P-Nitrothiophenol, Yun Ling, Jing Tang, Guo-Kun Liu, Cheng Zong Dec 2019

Transient Electrochemical Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopic Study In Electrochemical Reduction Of P-Nitrothiophenol, Yun Ling, Jing Tang, Guo-Kun Liu, Cheng Zong

Journal of Electrochemistry

P-nitrothiophenol (PNTP) is one of the most common probe molecules studied by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The research in electrochemical reduction behavior of PNTP will help understanding the mechanism for the nitrobenzene reduction. In this paper, we used transient electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TEC-SERS) to study the SERS of PNTP with cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry on gold electrodes. The results show that the TEC-SERS provide a time resolution that equals the transient electrochemical methods, and we concluded that the reaction was so quick that we did not observe the spectral information of intermediate species described in the literatures with a …

Electrochemical Sensor Based On Magnetic Electrode Modified With Magnetic Molecularly Imprinted Nanoparticles Immobilized Hemoglobin For Determination Of Hydrogen Peroxide, Yang Yuan, Jia-Xin Wang, Yu-Hua Cao

Journal of Electrochemistry

In this work, the surface-imprinted technique was used to prepare magnetic hemoglobin (Hb) imprinted nanoparticles, using Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs as the carrier, Hb as the template molecule, and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the imprinted polymer monomer. The nanoparticles had a core-shell structure, with magnetic Fe3O4 NPs as the core and Hb imprinted polymers as the shell. Therefore, Hb could be concentrated and fixed on the surface of the magnetic imprinted nanoparticles (MMIPs NPs). Furthermore, MMIPs NPs were immobilized with chitosan (CS) on the surface of a magnetic electrode to constitute Hb enzyme-like biosensor …


Electrochemical Detection Of 4-Nitrophenol Based On Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified By Tio2Nps/Rgo Composite, Lin-Na Jiu, Yong-Qiang Cheng Aug 2019

Electrochemical Detection Of 4-Nitrophenol Based On Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified By Tio2Nps/Rgo Composite, Lin-Na Jiu, Yong-Qiang Cheng

Journal of Electrochemistry

4-nitrophenol (4-NP) has become factitious pollution, and presented a serious threat to the nature and human health. It is necessary to develop a convenient and fast detection method. In this work, the glassy carbon electrode modified by titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs)/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composite as an electrochemical sensor was studied for the trace detection of 4-NP. The morphology of the composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The homogeneous mixing of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide increased the specific surface area of the composite, and facilitated the electrochemical reaction of 4-NP. The electrochemical characteristics …


In Situ/Operando Visualization Of Electrode Processes In Lithium-Sulfur Batteries: A Review, Shuang-Yan Lang, Xin-Cheng Hu, Rui Wen, Li-Jun Wan Apr 2019

In Situ/Operando Visualization Of Electrode Processes In Lithium-Sulfur Batteries: A Review, Shuang-Yan Lang, Xin-Cheng Hu, Rui Wen, Li-Jun Wan

Journal of Electrochemistry

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been regarded as one of the most promising candidates for the next-generation energy storage devices. Fundamental understanding of the structure and evolution processes at electrode-electrolyte interfaces is essential to the further development. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the interfacial observations by means of various in situ/operando visualization techniques, including scanning probe microscopy (SPM), electron microscopy (EM), X-ray microscopy (XRM) and optical microscopy (OM). The real-time investigation provides important evidence for the morphology and component changes including S/Li2S transformation, polysulfide dissolution on cathodes and Li/solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) evolution on anodes, which …
