Gradient doping of conducting polymer films by means of bipolar electrochemistry

In this paper, we report a novel electrochemical doping method for conducting polymer films based on bipolar electrochemistry. The electrochemical doping of conducting polymers such as poly(3-methylthiophene) (PMT), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), and poly(aniline) (PANI) on a bipolar electrode having a potential gradient on its surface successfully created gradually doped materials. In the case of PEDOT film, the color change at the anodic side was also observed to be gradually transparent. PANI film treated by the bipolar doping gave a multicolored gradation across the film. The results of UV-vis and energy dispersive X-ray analyses for the doped films supported the distribution of dopants in the polymer films reflecting the potential gradient on the bipolar electrode. Furthermore, the reversibility of the bipolar doping of the PMT film was demonstrated by a spectroelectrochemical investigation.     

Photochromic polyoxotungstoeuropate K12[EuP5W30O110]/polyvinylpyrrolidone nanocomposite films

A novel photochromic nanocomposite film containing polyoxotungstoeuropate K₁₂[EuP₅W₃₀O₁₁₀] entrapped in polyvinylpyrrolidone has been prepared through a spin-on coating technique. Thus-obtained amorphous nanocomposite film was characterized by IR spectra, UV-vis absorption spectra, XRD, SEM, TG-DTA, and ESR. Results show that polyoxotungstoeuropate interacts with polyvinylpyrrolidone strongly and disperses homogeneously in the matrix. The composite film exhibits good photochromic properties. When irradiated with UV light, the transparent film changes from colorless to blue. Then, bleaching occurs when the film is in contact with ambient air or O₂ in the dark. The photochromism of the composite film is due to charge transfer by reduction of polyoxotungstoeuropate and oxidation of polyvinylpyrrolidone.     

Determination of iodide ions at poly(3-methylthiophene)-modified electrode by differential pulse stripping voltammetry

A voltammetric electrode based on a poly(3-methylthiophene) (PMT) film for the differential pulse stripping voltammetric (DPSV) determination of iodide was developed. Gold electrodes were first coated with PMT, and iodide was then doped into the polymer film by electrochemical oxidation of iodide at 0.75 V. The effects of various electrochemical parameters, such as electroyte type and its pH, deposition potential, deposition time, and precipitation time, were examined. Using DPSV, the PMT electrode was found to be suitable for the measurement of iodide concentrations above 1 × 10⁻⁹ M. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Cathodic polarization behavior of self-supporting polyaniline film electrode

The preparation method of a self-supporting doped-polyaniline film electrode and its open-circuit potential (OCP) in NaClO₄ and Na₂SO₄ solutions with different pH value as well as cathodic polarization behavior have been investigated for the purpose of discussing the corrosion electrochemical behavior of polyaniline (PANI) in the acid solution. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) reveals that the lower pH corresponds to higher doping level of H⁺ in the film and a more positive OCP of PANI film electrode. OCP of the PANI film reached 0.35 V vs. SCE in 1M H₂SO₄, which is more positive than that of most metals, suggests that PANI would act as cathode when it couples with these metals. The cathodic polarization experiments indicate that the dominating cathodic polarization process of PANI is reversible doping and dedoping reaction and the reduction of dissolve oxygen has very little contribution to it. The potentiostatic current-time curves exhibit a large transient current density at initial stage of polarization, which should be attributed to the charge stored in the film and a relative less steady state current density at the subsequent stage of polarization, which is provided by its doping/dedoping equilibrium activity. Such a current characteristic of PANI electrode might be the force of PANI to provide the passivation protection for some active-passive metals.

DOPING LEVEL INCREASE OF POLY(3-METHYLTHIOPHENE)FILM DURING ELECTROCHEMICAL POLYMERIZATION PROCESS

The Raman spectra of poly(3-methylthiophene) (PMeT) films with different thicknesses, which have beenelectrochemically deposited on a flat stainless steel electrode surface by direct oxidation of 3-methylthiophene in borontrifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE) at a constant applied potential of 1.38 V (versus SCE), have been investigated byexcitation with a 633-nm laser beam. The spectroscopic results demonstrated that the doping level of PMeT film wasincreasing during film growth. This finding was also confirmed by electrochemical examination. Moreover, the Raman bandsassigned to radical cations and dications in doped PMeT films were found approximately at 1420 and 1400 cm~(-1),respectively. Radical cations and dications coexist on the backbone of PMeT as conductive species and their concentrationsincrease with the increase of doping level. Successive cyclic voltammetry was proved to be an effective approach toimproving the doping level of as-grown thin compact PMeT film.     

Sulfonated polyaniline/poly(3-methylthiophene)-based photovoltaic devices.

Under AM 1.5 conditions 1000 W/m², a power conversion efficiency of 0.04% is reached.

Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of horseradish peroxidase immobilized in Nafion-RTIL composite film

The composite film based on Nafion and hydrophobic room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim] PF₆) was explored. Here, Nafion was used as a binder to form Nafion-ionic liquids composite film and help [bmim] PF₆ effectively adhered on glassy carbon (GC) electrode. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammtery (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to characterize this composite film, showing that the composite film can effectively adhere on the GC electrode surface through Nafion interacting with [bmim] PF₆ and GC electrode. Meanwhile, doping [bmim] PF₆ in Nafion can also effectively reduce the electron transfer resistance of Nafion. The composite film can be readily used as an immobilization matrix to entrap horseradish peroxidase (HRP). A pair of well-defined redox peaks of HRP was obtained at the HRP/Nafion-[bmim] PF₆ composite film-modified GC electrode through direct electron transfer between the protein and the underlying electrode. HRP can still retain its biological activity and enhance electrochemical reduction towards O₂ and H₂O₂. It is expected that this composite film may find more potential applications in biosensors and biocatalysis.     

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.
