An Interface-Bridged Organic–Inorganic Layer that Suppresses Dendrite Formation and Side Reactions for Ultra-Long-Life Aqueous Zinc Metal Anodes

Aqueous zinc (Zn) batteries (AZBs) are widely considered as a promising candidate for next-generation energy storage owing to their excellent safety features. However, the application of a Zn anode is hindered by severe dendrite formation and side reactions. Herein, an interfacial bridged organic–inorganic hybrid protection layer (Nafion-Zn-X) is developed by complexing inorganic Zn-X zeolite nanoparticles with Nafion, which shifts ion transport from channel transport in Nafion to a hopping mechanism in the organic–inorganic interface. This unique organic–inorganic structure is found to effectively suppress dendrite growth and side reactions of the Zn anode. Consequently, the Zn@Nafion-Zn-X composite anode delivers high coulombic efficiency (ca. 97 %), deep Zn plating/stripping (10 mAh cm⁻²), and long cycle life (over 10 000 cycles). By tackling the intrinsic chemical/electrochemical issues, the proposed strategy provides a versatile remedy for the limited cycle life of the Zn anode.     

Bismuth Film Voltammetric Sensor on Pyrolyzed Photoresist/Alumina Support for Determination of Heavy Metals

Voltammetric sensors based on bismuth film electrodes are an attractive alternative to other sensors for application in electroanalysis of heavy metals. Bismuth film electrodes can be formed by a similar method on the same substrates as mercury. These systems were used most frequently for simultaneous determination of heavy metals such as Pb, Cd and Zn by anodic stripping voltammetry. Our voltammetric sensor was fabricated on an alumina substrate. A photoresist film prepared by pyrolysis of positive photoresist S‐1813 SP15 on the alumina substrate was used as an electrode support for bismuth film deposition. The influence of the Nafion membrane on the measurement sensitivity of the sensor and mechanical stability of the bismuth film were investigated. The sensor was successfully applied for determination of Pb, Cd and Zn in an aqueous solution in the concentration range of 0.2 to 10 µg L^?1 by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry on an in‐situ formed bismuth film electrode with Nafion‐coating. Parameters of the sensor such as sensitivity, linearity, detection limit, repeatability and life‐time were evaluated. In the best case, the detection limits were estimated as 0.07, 0.11 and 0.63 µg L^?1 for Pb, Cd and Zn, respectively. Finally, the applicability of the sensor was tested in analysis of Pb, Cd and Zn in real samples of tap and river water using the method of standard additions.

Detection of H_2O_2 at a composite film modified electrode with highly dispersed Ag nanoparticles in Nafion

Ag nanoparticles were prepared by using the ion-exchange of Nafion combined with electrochemical reduction on the electrode. Ag nanoparticles are highly dispersed in Nafion film with an average size of 4.0±0.2 nm.The amount of Ag nanoparticles can be readily controlled by the amount of Nafion coated on the electrode.Thus obtained Ag nanoparticles exhibit good catalytic activity for the reduction of H₂O₂ with a linear response to H₂O₂ in the concentration range of 0.04-8.0 mmol/L with a sensitivity of 0.34μA/mmol/L and a detection limit of 1.0×10^-8 mol/L.     

A non-aqueous electrolyte-based asymmetric supercapacitor with polymer and metal oxide/multiwalled carbon nanotube electrodes

A supercapacitor using non-aqueous electrolyte and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNTs) nanocomposite electrodes has been designed with polymer and metal oxide loaded carbon nanotubes as electrodes. These nanocomposites were coated on the carbon paper with Nafion solution to obtain the flexible electrodes. Carbon paper with the nanocomposite coating was pressed on either sides of the Nafion membrane, which acts both as a separator and as an electrolyte. The performance of asymmetric assembly of electrochemical double layer capacitor with polymer- and metal oxide-dispersed MWNTs composite materials with non-aqueous Nafion electrolyte is compared with symmetric assemblies, and the results are discussed.     

Nafion‐modified Carbon Based Sensor for Soil Potassium Detection

In the present investigation, we report a voltammetric sensor based on Nafion modified screen printed carbon ink functionalized with 4‐aminobenzo‐18‐crown‐6 ether for the detection of soil potassium. The potassium is one of the major nutrient elements required by the plants and is critical for the crop productivity. The selective and sensitive assay is based on recording change in current signal of a positively charged redox probe, hexammineruthenium(III)chloride in the absence and presence of K⁺ ion in solution. The sensing interface is highly stable and reproducible for detection of K⁺ ion a under a wide range of concentration 1 to 500 ppm. The detection sensitivity over a wide concentration range was achieved by altering the concentration of redox species. Mechanistically, the recognition properties of 4‐aminobenzo‐18‐Crown‐6 covalently bound to the Nafion on carbon surface was found to be selective for potassium ion over sodium, ammonium and calcium ion. Potassium recognition through host‐guest binding of crown ether derivative and proposed simplicity of fabrication protocol makes the systems highly promising for real‐time applications in soil analysis.
