Size-controllable synthesis of surface-enhanced Raman scattering-active gold nanoparticles coated on TiO2

As shown in the literature, gold nanoparticles (NPs) were popularly used in the fields of catalyst and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In this work, size-controllable Au NPs coated on TiO(2) are synthesized by adjusting the pH of solutions based on sonoelectrochemical methods. The size-controlled Au NPs on TiO(2), ranging from 2 to 80 nm in diameter, can be obtained by varying the pH of solutions from 3 to 7 and placing the sample for 3 h before sonoelectrochemical reductions. The optimal particle sizes of Au NPs on TiO(2) to obtain the strongest SERS effects under an irradiation of 785 nm for probe molecules of adsorbed Rhodamine 6G (R6G) and deposited polypyrrole (PPy) are all ca. 60 nm.     

Electrochemistry of conductive polymers 39. Contacts between conducting polymers and noble metal nanoparticles studied by current-sensing atomic force microscopy

Electrical properties of contacts formed between conducting polymers and noble metal nanoparticles have been examined using current-sensing atomic force microscopy (CS-AFM). Contacts formed between electrochemically prepared pi-conjugated polymer films such as polypyrrole (PPy), poly(3-methylthiophene) (P3MeT), as well as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and noble metal nanoparticles including platinum (Pt), gold (Au), and silver (Ag) have been examined. The Pt nanoparticles were electrochemically deposited on a pre-coated PPy film surface by reducing a platinum precursor (PtCl62-) at a constant potential. Both current and scanning electron microscopic images of the film showed the presence of Pt islands. The Au and Ag nanoparticles were dispersed on the P3MeT and PEDOT film surfaces simply by dipping the polymer films into colloid solutions containing Au or Ag particles for specified periods (5 to approximately 10 min). The deposition of Au or Ag particles resulted from either their physical adsorption or chemical bonding between particles and the polymer surface depending on the polymer. When compared with PPy, P3MeT and PEDOT showed a stronger binding to Au or Ag nanoparticles when dipped in their colloidal solutions for the same period. This indicates that Au and Ag particles are predominantly linked with the sulfur atoms via chemical bonding. Of the two, PEDOT was more conductive at the sites where the particles are connected to the polymer. It appears that PEDOT has better aligned sulfur atoms on the surface and is strongly bonded to Au and Ag nanoparticles due to their strong affinity to gold and silver. The current-voltage curves obtained at the metal islands demonstrate that the contacts between these metal islands and polymers are ohmic.     

Synthesis of metallic copper nanoparticles coated with polypyrrole

This paper describes a method for polypyrrole (PPy) coating of metallic Cu nanoparticles in aqueous solution in atmosphere. Colloid solution of Cu nanoparticles was prepared by reducing Cu ions with the use of hydrazine in an aqueous solution dissolving citric acid and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as stabilizers. The PPy coating was performed by polymerizing pyrrole with the use of hydrogen peroxide as an initiator in an aqueous colloid solution of the Cu nanoparticles. Ultraviolet–visible extinction measurements, transmission electron microscopy observation, and X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that the metallic Cu nanoparticles with a size of 27.6 ± 11.1 nm were coated with PPy. The obtained PPy-coated Cu particles were chemically stable even in atmosphere.     

Preparation of Polypyrrole/Poly(methyl methacrylate) Core-Shell Nanoparticles in Four-Component Microemulsion Media

Electrically conductive polypyrrole (PPy)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) core-shell nanoparticles were synthesized by two-step microemulsion polymerization. PPy core particles were prepared in a four-component microemulsion system, which was formed with surfactant cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), cosurfactant n-pentanol, water, and pyrrole. Ferric chloride and iodine was added as the oxidant and the dopant, respectively. Then the PPy nanoparticles were coated with PMMA to prepare PPy/PMMA core-shell nanoparticles. The morphology of PPy/PMMA core-shell nanoparticles was characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to characterize the structure of the samples. The electrical conductivities of samples were studied by a Hall effect testing instrument. Despite being coated with a layer of insulation, the conductivity of the composite PPy/PMMA core-shell nanoparticles could still reached to 7.856 × 10^?1 S/cm.     

Microelectrode Combinations of Gold and Polypyrrole Enable Highly Stable Two-electrode Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Measurements under Turbulent Flow Conditions

An electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) sensor design is proposed based on a standard interdigitated electrode layout in which the smaller working electrode consists of gold (Au) whereas the larger combined counter and reference electrode is coated with a porous layer of polypyrrole (PPy) doped with polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) (PPy : PSS). Each electrode material was first characterized by EIS in a standard 3-electrode setup with subsequent spectra fitting by a modified Randles equivalent circuit. The differences in the spectra obtained by the PPy : PSS coated electrodes can be explained by an increased electroactive surface area due to the porous polymer film. The changes in morphology of the film are discussed with respect to the evolution of the elements of the electric equivalent circuit. When applying the Au/PPy : PSS electrode combination to a standard 2-electrode arrangement, the enlarged highly electroactive surface area of the PPy : PSS coating lowers the interfacial impedance in a way that mainly the gold working electrode contributes to the overall system impedance. Therefore, obtaining reproducible EIS signals depends only on the electrode's open-circuit potential (OCP) and on additional adsorption events at the gold electrode/electrolyte interface. We present a protocol for microelectrode coating with PPy : PSS, which enables highly stable 2-electrode EIS experiments without the need of a reference electrode. This combination is believed to be very useful if an integration of sensing electrodes inside Micro Total Analysis Systems is aspired.     

Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectra of faceted diamonds

In this work, the contributions of cationic and elemental gold on roughened gold substrates to surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of polypyrrole (PPy) films were first investigated. First, a gold substrate was roughened by a triangular wave oxidation-reduction cycle (ORC) in an aqueous solution containing 0.1 M KCl. Then, the roughened gold substrate was further reduced by applying a cathodic potential for a fixed time to control the quantity of unreduced cationic Au on the roughened Au substrate. The result indicates that the content of cationic Au is responsible for the improved SERS of PPy electrodeposited on this roughened Au substrate. This phenomenon can be attributed to the interfacial charge transfer from PPy to the roughened Au substrate by the aid of cationic Au.     

Characteristics of Cl‐ and Au‐Containing Nanocomplex and Its Effect on the Following Electrodeposition of Polypyrrole

In this study, polypyrrole (PPy) films were electrochemically deposited on gold substrates roughened by a triangular‐wave oxidation‐reduction cycle (ORC) with different anodic and cathodic vertexes in an aqueous solution containing 0.1 N NaCl. In ORC treatment, the Cl‐ and Au‐containing nanocomplex was formed on the surface of gold. The results indicate that the crystalline orientation and diameter of Au are significantly different before and after ORC treatment. Also the redox behavior in ORC, surface morphology formed and depth profile of Cl in the nanocomplex are influenced by the anodic and cathodic vertexes used in roughening Au. The roughened Au demonstrates an electrocatalytic activity for pyrrole polymerization. Correspondingly, the characteristics of PPy films electrodeposited on these roughened Au substrates are notable. They include the surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect shown, a higher conductivity obtained and an increase in oxidation level demonstrated.     

Fe3O4/Polypyrrole/Au nanocomposites with core/shell/shell structure: synthesis, characterization, and their electrochemical properties

Uniform Fe3O4 nanospheres with a diameter of 100 nm were rapidly prepared using a microwave solvothermal method. Then Fe304/polypyrrole (PPy) composite nanospheres with well-defined core/shell structures were obtained through chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of Fe3O4; the average thickness of the coating shell was about 25 nm. Furthermore, by means of electrostatic interactions, plentiful gold nanoparticles with a diameter of 15 nm were assembled on the surface of Fe3O4/PPy to get Fe3O4/PPy/Au core/shell/shell structure. The morphology, structure, and composition of the products were characterized by transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The resultant nanocomposites not only have the magnetism of Fe3O4 nanoparticles that make the nanocomposites easily controlled by an external magnetic field but also have the good conductivity and excellent electrochemical and catalytic properties of PPy and Au nanoparticles. Furthermore, the nanocomposites showed excellent electrocatalytic activities to biospecies such as ascorbic acid (AA).

Facile synthesis and performance of polypyrrole-coated sulfur nanocomposite as cathode materials for lithium/sulfur batteries

In situ chemical oxidation polymerization of pyrrole on the surface of sulfur particles was carried out to synthesize a sulfur/polypyrrole （SIPPy） nanocomposite with core-shell structure. The composite was characterized by elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning/transmission electron microscopy, and electrochemical measurements. XRD and FTIR results showed that sulfur well dispersed in the core-shell structure and PPy structure was successfully obtained via in situ oxidative polymerization of pyrrole on the surface of sulfur particles. TEM observation revealed that PPy was formed and fixed to the surface of sulfur nanoparticle after polymerization, developing a well-defined core-shell structure and the thickness of PPy coating layer was in the range of 20-30 nm. In the composite, PPy worked as a conducting matrix as well as a coating agent, which confined the active materials within the electrode. Consequently, the as prepared SIPPy composite cathode exhibited good cycling and rate performances for rechargeable lithium/sulfur batteries. The resulting cell containing SIPPy composite cathode yields a discharge capacity of 1039 mAh·g^-1 at the initial cycle and retains 59% of this value over 50 cycles at 0.1 C rate. At 1 C rate, the SIPPy composite showed good cycle stability, and the discharge capacity was 475 mAh·g^-1 after 50 cycles.
