Supramolecular Assemblies of Nucleoside Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes: Synthesis,Film Preparation,and Properties

Nucleoside‐functionalized multi‐walled carbon nanotubes ( N‐MWCNTs ) were synthesized and characterized. A self‐organization process using hydrogen bonding interactions was then used for the fabrication of self‐assembled N‐MWCNTs films free of stabilizing agents, polymers, or surfactants. Membranes were produced by using a simple water‐dispersion‐based vacuum‐filtration method. Hydrogen‐bond recognition was confirmed by analysis with IR spectroscopy and TEM images. Restoration of the electronic conduction properties in the N‐MWCNTs membranes was performed by removing the organic portion by thermal treatment under an argon atmosphere to give d‐N‐MWCNTs . Electrical conductivity and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) measurements confirmed the efficiency of the annealing process. Finally, oxidative biodegradation of the films N‐MWCNTs and d‐N‐MWCNTs was performed by using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and low concentrations of H₂O₂. Our results confirm that functional groups play an important role in the biodegradation of CNT by HRP: N‐MWCNTs films were completely biodegraded, whereas for d‐N‐MWCNTs films no degradation was observed, showing that the pristine CNT undergoes minimal enzyme‐catalyzed oxidation This novel methodology offers a straightforward supramolecular strategy for the construction of conductive and biodegradable carbon nanotube films.     

水溶性多壁碳纳米管/铜酞菁染料自组装薄膜的制备与表征

Water soluble multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared via chemical oxidation. Under ultrasonication,the chemically treated MWCNTs can be dispersed in water to form colloids. The MWCNTs were characterized by FT-IR spectra. The FT-IR spectra reveal the presence of carboxylic groups on the nanotubes. The functional groups can improve the nanotubes-solubility in water. Alcian Blue 8GX (AB), a quaternary ammonium dye of the copper phthalocyanine group, was dissolved in water and used to form electrostaticcally self-assembled multilayer films. The MWCNT/AB composite films were characterized by UV-vis absorption spectra as well as AFM and fluorescence spectrum. The experimental results show that the MWCNT/AB composite films can be produced easily. Compared to those of the AB aqueous solutions, composite films exhibit pronounced differences in the absorption and fluorescence spectra, which suggests that AB molecules aggregated in the composite film, and that a charge transfer might exist between AB molecules and the MWCNTs.     

Electroanalysis of Bisphenol A at a Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes‐gold Nanoparticles Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

A sensitive electrochemical method was developed for the determination of bisphenol A (BPA) at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with a multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)‐gold nanoparticles (GNPs) hybrid film, which was prepared based on the electrostatic interaction between positively charged cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and negatively charged MWCNTs and GNPs. The MWCNT‐GNPs/GCE exhibited an enhanced electroactivity for BPA oxidation versus unmodified GCE and MWCNTs/GCE. The experimental parameters, including the amounts of modified MWCNTs and GNPs, the pH of the supporting electrolyte, scan rate and accumulation time, were examined and optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the differential pulse voltammetric anodic peak current of BPA was linear with the BPA concentration from 2.0×10^?8 to 2×10^?5 mol L^?1, with a limit of detection of 7.5 nmol L^?1. The proposed procedure was applied to determine BPA leached from real plastic samples with satisfactory results.

Enhanced oxygen reduction at Pd catalytic nanoparticles dispersed onto heteropolytungstate-assembled poly(diallyldimethylammonium)-functionalized carbon nanotubes

Both Keggin-type phosphotungstic acid (HPW) and Pd are not prominent catalysts towards the oxygen reduction (ORR), but their composite Pd-HPW catalyst produces a significantly higher electrochemical activity for the ORR in acidic media. The novel composite catalyst was synthesized by self-assembly of HPW on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) via the electrostatic attraction between negatively charged HPW and positively charged poly(diallyldimethylammonium (PDDA)-wrapped MWCNTs, followed by dispersion of Pd nanoparticles onto the HPW-PDDA-MWCNT assembly. The as-prepared catalyst was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). TEM images show that Pd nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on the surface of MWCNTs even when the Pd loading was increased to 60 wt%. Electrochemical activity of the catalysts for the ORR was evaluated by steady state polarization measurements using a rotating disk electrode. Compared with the acid treated MWCNTs, Pd nanoparticles supported on the HPW-assembled MWCNTs show a much higher ORR activity that is comparable to conventional Pt/C catalysts. The high electrocatalytic activities could be related to high dispersion of Pd nanoparticles as well as synergistic effects originating from the high proton conductivity of HPW. The Pd/HPW-PDDA-MWCNTs system as the cathode catalyst in proton exchange membrane fuel cells is demonstrated.     

Nanohybrid Materials Consisting of Poly[(3‐aminobenzoic acid)‐co‐(3‐aminobenzenesulfonic acid)‐co‐aniline] and Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes for Immobilization of Redox Active Cytochrome c

The development of a new surface architecture for the efficient direct electron transfer of positively charged redox proteins is presented. For this reason different kinds of polyaniline terpolymers consisting of aminobenzoic acid (AB), aminobenzenesulfonic acid (ABS) and aniline (A) with different monomer ratios were synthesized. The P(AB‐ABS‐A) were grafted to the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). FTIR measurements prove the covalent binding to the carboxylic groups of the MWCNTs while conductivity tests show an increase in the conductivity of the nanohybrid in comparison to the polymers. The [MWCNT‐P(AB‐ABS‐A)] nanohybrids were used for the immobilization of redox active cytochrome c (cyt.c). The positively charged protein can electrostatically interact with the negatively charged nanohybrid. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) shows an increase in the protein loading on [MWCNT‐P(AB‐ABS‐A)] coupled to cysteamine modified gold electrodes in comparison to non‐grafted MWCNTs. A further increase in the sulfonation degree of P(AB‐ABS‐A) leads to an enhanced current output of the modified electrodes. The redox activity of the polymer decreases after the immobilization of the cyt.c on the nanohybrid. For the first time polymers covalently grafted to the surface of MWCNTs are used in a biosensor.     

Voltammetric study on pristine and nitrogen-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes decorated with gold nanoparticles

Films consisting of pristine multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and nitrogen-doped MWCNTs (N-MWCNTs) were fabricated by means of chemical vapor deposition and chemically decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Optical microscopy and image analysis reveal that the deposited AuNPs have diameters of 50–200 nm and 100–400 nm, respectively. The AuNP-modified films of MWCNTs and of N-MWCNTs were initially investigated with respect to their response to the ferro/ferricyanide redox system. The N-MWCNTs/AuNPs exhibit lower detection limit (0.345 μM) for this redox system compared to that of MWCNTs/AuNPs (0.902 μM). This is probably due to the presence of nitrogen that appears to enhance the electrocatalytic activity of MWCNTs. The findings demonstrate that the electrochemical responses of both films are distinctly enhanced upon deposition of AuNPs on their surfaces. The detection limits of MWCNTs/AuNPs and N-MWCNTs/AuNPs systems are lower by about 43 % and 27 %, respectively, compared to films not modified with AuNPs. The electrocatalytic activity of the films towards the oxidation of ascorbic acid (AA), uric acid (UA), and dopamine (DA) was studied. The findings reveal that N-MWCNTs/AuNPs represent a powerful analytical tool that enables simultaneous analysis of AA, UA, and DA in a single experiment.

Electrostatic‐Assembly of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) and Polymer Particles in Water: a Facile Approach to Improve the Dispersion of CNTs in Thermoplastics

Summary: A facile and organic‐solvent‐free method for preparing thermoprocessable multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)‐filled thermoplastics is presented. MWCNTs are oxidized, neutralized, and then assembled with cationic soap‐free poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles directly in water. The spontaneous electrostatic coupling between the negatively charged MWCNTs and positively charged PMMA particles, and the viscoelastic and thermomechanical behavior of the nanocomposites, are investigated. The electrostatic coupling interactions improve the dispersion of nanotubes and facilitate the formation of filler networks in the polymer matrix.

Electrochemical determination of bisphenol A based on PHD/MWCNTs modified glassy carbon electrode

A novel electrochemical sensor for the determination of bisphenol A (BPA) was fabricated by block polyelectrolyte composite films, which composed of diblock polyelectrolyte poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-b-poly (2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA-b-PDMAEMA, noted as PHD in the later content) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The tertiary amino groups of PDMAEMA can be protonated at physiological pH. The protonated PDMAEMA can thus interact with the negatively charged BPA through electrostatic attraction to increase the BPA sorption capacity and enhance the ability for highly sensitive detection of BPA. The PHD/MWCNTs composite films combine the electrocatalytic property of MWCNTs and the electrostatic attraction of protonated PHD. Because of the above-mentioned excellent property of the composite films, the PHD/MWCNTs/glassy carbon electrode exhibited good electrocatalytic activity to electrooxidation of BPA. The wide linear response range of the BPA sensor was from 4.56 × 10^?5 g L^?1 to 2.28 × 10^?2 g L^?1 with a lower detection limit of 2.28 × 10^?6 g L^?1 (S/N = 3) and high sensitivity 2442.86 μA L g^?1 cm^?2. The current reached the steady-state current with a shorter response time less than 4 s. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine BPA in real samples (PVC food package, milk, tap water and pond water) and satisfactory results were obtained. These results indicated that the block polyelectrolyte composite have potential applicability of the BPA sensor.     

Luminescent Blooming of Dendronic Carbon Nanotubes through Ion‐Pairing Interactions with an EuIII Complex

A multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) scaffold was covalently functionalized with a second‐generation polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendron, presenting four terminal amino groups per grafted aryl moiety. These reactive functions were alkylated to obtain a positively charged polycationic dendron/carbon nanotube system ( d‐MWCNTs?Cl ), which eventually underwent anion exchange reaction with a negatively charged and highly luminescent Eu^III complex ( [EuL₄]?NEt₄ , in which L =(2‐naphtoyltrifluoroacetonate)). This process afforded the target material d‐MWCNTs?[EuL₄] , in which MWCNTs are combined with red‐emitting Eu^III centers through electrostatic interactions with the dendronic branches. Characterization of the novel MWCNT materials was accomplished by means of TGA and TEM, whereas d‐MWCNTs?Cl and d‐MWCNTs? [EuL₄] further underwent XPS, SEM and Raman analyses. These studies demonstrate the integrity of the luminescent [EuL₄]^? center in the luminescent hybrid, the massive load of the cationic binding sites, and the virtually complete anion‐exchange into the final hybrid material. The occurrence of the ion‐pairing interaction with MWCNTs was unambiguously demonstrated through DOSY NMR diffusion studies. Photophysical investigations show that MWCNTs?[EuL₄] is a highly soluble and brightly luminescent red hybrid material in which MWCNTs act as photochemically inert scaffolds with negligible UV/Vis absorption, compared with the grafted Eu complex, and with no quenching activity. The high dispersibility of MWCNTs?[EuL₄] in a polymer matrix makes it a promising luminophore for applications in material science.
