Hybrid and biohybrid layered double hydroxides for electrochemical analysis

Layered double hydroxides (LDH) are lamellar materials that have been extensively used as electrode modifiers. Nanostructured organic–inorganic materials can be designed by intercalation of organic or metallic complexes within the interlayer space of these materials or by the formation of composite materials based on biopolymers (alginate or chitosan) or biomolecules, such as enzymes. These hybrid or biohybrid materials have interesting properties applicable in electroanalytical devices. From an exhaustive review of the literature, the relevance of these hybrid and biohybrid LDH materials as electrode materials for electrochemical detection of species with an environmental or health impact is evaluated. The analytical characteristics (sensitivity and detection limit) of LDH-based amperometric sensors or biosensors are scrutinized.

Polythiophenes and polythiophene-based composites in amperometric sensing

This overview of polythiophene-based materials provides a critical examination of meaningful examples of applications of similar electrode materials in electroanalysis. The advantages arising from the use of polythiophene derivatives in such an applicative context is discussed by considering the organic conductive material as such, and as one of the components of hybrid materials. The rationale at the basis of the combination of two or even more individual components into a hybrid material is discussed with reference to the active electrode processes and the consequent possible improvements of the electroanalytical performance. In this respect, study cases are presented considering different analytes chosen among those that are most frequently reported within the classes of organics and inorganics. The use of a polythiophene matrix to stably fix biological elements at the electrode surface for the development of catalytic biosensors and genosensors is also discussed. Finally, a few possible lines along which the next research in the field could be fruitfully pursued are outlined. Furthermore, the work still to be done to exploit the possibilities offered by novel products of organic synthesis, even along paths already traced in other fields of electrochemistry, is discussed.

Enhancing the performances of Li-ion batteries by carbon-coating: present and future

With progress of knowledge of electrode materials, it has been found that their surface structures are of great importance to the electrochemical performance of Li-ion batteries. Carbon coating can effectively increase the electrode conductivity, improve the surface chemistry of the active material, and protect the electrode from direct contact with electrolyte, leading to enhanced cycle life of the batteries. Carbon coating together with nanotechnology provides good conductivity as well as fast Li-ion diffusion, and thus also results in good rate capabilities. The recent development of carbon coating techniques in lithium-ion batteries is discussed with detailed examples of typical cathode and anode materials. The limitation of current technology and future perspective of the new concept of "hybrid coating" are also pointed out.     

Preparation and properties of ZnMoO4 anode materials with polymer network gel method

Polymer network gel method combines the advantages of solid-phase method and liquid phase method, triggering acrylamide (AM) radical polymerization in aqueous solution and N, N′- methylene bis acrylamide (MBAM) active double bond cross-linking reaction, forming polymer chains to form a three-dimensional network. The polymer network space formed by the gel is bound and evenly distributed to the ions in the solution, thereby reducing the contact and aggregation of molecules and achieving the purpose of uniform particle size and small particle size. The principle diagram of network gel is shown in Figure. Using cubic zinc acetate and ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate as raw materials, cubic ZnMoO₄ negative electrode materials were prepared with polymer network gel method. The polymer network gel method has various effects on the structure, morphology and electrochemical properties of materials. Besides, the calcination temperature and calcination time were also the key factors to the electrochemical properties of the materials. In this paper, the effects of the ratio of monomer and crosslinker, calcination temperature and calcination time on ZnMoO₄ materials were studied by single variable method, the preparation process was optimized, and its characterization and electrochemical tests were carried out. After 100 cycles, the optimized ZnMoO₄ electrode has a discharge capacity of 374.0 mAh· g^?1, 332.5, 263.5 and 177.1 mAh · g^?1 at current densities of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 A g^?1, respectively. The electrochemical results show that the optimized ZnMoO₄ has high capacity, large rate capability and excellent cycle stability.     

Designer electrode interfaces simultaneously comprising three different metal nanoparticle (Au, Ag, Pd)/carbon microsphere/carbon nanotube composites: progress towards combinatorial electrochemistry

In this report gold, silver and palladium metal nanoparticles are separately supported on glassy carbon microspheres (GCM) using bulk electroless deposition techniques to produce three different materials labelled as GCM-Au, GCM-Ag and GCM-Pd respectively. These three materials are then combined together into a composite film on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode surface using multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The MWCNTs serve to not only mechanically support this composite film as a "binder" but they also help to "wire up" each modified GCM to the underlying substrate. The intelligently designed structure of this electrode interface allows this single modified electrode to simultaneously behave as if it were a macrodisc electrode constructed of gold, silver or palladium, whilst using only a fraction of the equivalent amount of these precious metals. Furthermore this unique structure allows the possibility of combinatorial electrochemistry to be realised using a relatively facile electrode construction which avoids the problems of alloy formation, co-deposition and the formation of bimetallic species. For instance a mixture of several different analytes, which can each only be detected on a different specific substrate, can simultaneously be determined using one electrode in a single voltammetric experiment! Alternatively a substrate could undergo electrocatalytic reactions on one substrate, whilst the products, and hence the progress of this reaction, can be studied at a different substrate simultaneously at the same electrode surface. Proof-of-concept examples are presented herein and the designer electrode interface is shown to produce analytical responses to model target analytes such as hydrazine, bromide and thallium(I) ions that are comparable, if not better, than those obtained at metal macrodisc electrodes and even at other state-of-the-art nanoparticle modified electrodes.     

Currents and photocurrents in organic materials determined by the interface phenomena

The role of interface between molecular material and electrode on currents and photocurrents is considered. Mechanisms of charge carrier injection, electrode recombination and transport are discussed. Particularly thermal, excitonic, photo and tunneling injection of charge carriers, diffusion in presence of image force, interface barrier between electrode and organic materials and two organic materials, non-uniformity of electrodes and other phenomena on charge carrier injection are considered. The data presented in the review which complete theoretical considerations have been taken from previous as well as current literature. The considered phenomena are very important for the analysis of many practical problems for molecular electronic devices such as rectification of current, organic transistors, electroluminescence, photovoltaic effects and some similar problems.

This review describes the role of various noble metals, binary composites with transition metals, binary composites with carbon-based materials, and ternary composites containing both transition metals and carbon-based materials as supercapacitor electrode materials.

Rational material design of Li-excess metal oxides with disordered rock salt structure

This review article summarizes recent research development on a new class of electrode materials with a cation-disordered rock salt structure for energy storage applications. Historically, oxide-based electrode materials with the disordered rock salt structure are regarded as “electrochemically inactive.” However, recent experimental and theoretical research reveals that many oxides with the disordered rock salt structure can be utilized as high-capacity electrode materials, which deliver a much larger reversible capacity compared with traditional and cation ordered layered materials used for practical battery applications. For these emerging electrode materials, higher energy density is achieved relying on anionic and/or cationic redox as multi-electron reactions. Moreover, this anionic/cationic redox for Li-excess materials with the rock salt structure is effectively activated for nano-sized materials. These new trends for the material design on high-capacity electrode materials are highlighted and the future direction to design Li/Na insertion materials for energy storage applications is outlooked.
