Influences of colloidal stability and electrokinetic property on electrodialysis performance in the presence of silica sol

Negatively charged silica sol is known to lead to fouling of anion exchange membranes during electrodialysis (ED) as a result of its deposition on the membrane surface. It is known that the fouling potential is related to the physical and electrochemical properties of the silica particles as well as those of the anion exchange membranes. In this study, the properties of the silica sol were characterized in terms of its particle size, turbidity, and zeta potential in order to predict their effects on the electrodialysis performance. In the stability of colloidal particles, the critical coagulation concentrations of silica sol were determined as functions of ionic strength, cation species, and solution pH. In the electrodialysis of NaCl solution containing silica sol with various concentrations of CaCl(2), the colloidal behavior related to deposition and transport was examined during and after electrodialysis. The electrodialysis experiments clearly showed that the deposition and transport of silica sol during electrodialysis were related to the colloidal stability of dispersion.     

Direct Electrochemistry of Cytochrome c on a Silica Sol‐Gel Film Modified Electrode

Dilute silica sol‐gel was simply dropped on the surface of a basal plane graphite electrode (BPGE) to form a silica sol‐gel film modified electrode. Direct electrochemical response of cytochrome c (Cyt c) on the modified electrode was observed by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The results suggested that Cyt c could be tightly adsorbed on the surface of the silica sol‐gel film modified electrode. A couple of well‐defined and nearly reversible redox peaks can be observed in a phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0), which anodic and cathodic peak potentials were at ?0.243 and ?0.306 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), respectively. Cyt c adsorbed on the surface of silica sol‐gel film shows a remarkable electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of oxygen. Based on these, a third‐generation biosensor could be constructed to detect the concentration of oxygen in aqueous solution.

Electrochemically‐Induced Deposition of Amine‐Functionalized Silica Films on Gold Electrodes and Application to Cu(II) Detection in (Hydro)Alcoholic Medium

Well‐adherent amine‐functionalized porous silica films have been deposited on gold electrodes by combining the self‐assembly technology, the sol–gel process, and the electrochemical modulation of pH at the electrode/solution interface. A partial self‐assembled monolayer of mercaptopropyl‐trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) was first formed on disposable gold electrodes from recordable CDs (Au‐CDtrodes). The so pretreated MPTMS‐Au‐CDtrodes were immersed in a stable sol solution (pH 3) containing (3‐aminopropyl)‐triethoxysilane (APTES) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). Polycondensation of the APTES and TEOS precursors was then achieved by applying a negative potential for a given period of time to generate a local pH increase at the electrode/solution interface and promote the deposition of the amine functionalized silica film adhering well to the electrode surface owing to the MPTMS monolayer acting somewhat as a “molecular glue”. Various parameters affecting the electrodeposition process have been studied and the film permeability to redox probes in solution was characterized by cyclic voltammetry. The amine‐functionalized silica film electrodes were then applied to the preconcentration of copper(II) species prior to their electrochemical detection by anodic stripping differential pulse voltammetry. Getting high sensitivity has however required the application of an electrochemical pre‐activation step as the majority of the organo‐functional groups were in the form of ammonium moieties (because the film was prepared from an acidic sol). This was achieved by applying a sufficiently negative potential to the electrode surface to reduce protons and increase consequently the amine‐to‐ammonium ratio within the film and, thus, the efficiency of the precocentration process. The resulting device was then optimized for copper(II) determination in hydroalcoholic medium, giving rise to a linear response in the 0.1–10 μM concentration range.     

Silica sol–gel chemistry: creating materials and architectures for energy generation and storage

There is widespread recognition that the use of energy in the twenty-first century must be sustainable. Because of its extraordinary flexibility, silica sol–gel chemistry offers the opportunity to create the novel materials and architectures which can lead to significant advances in renewable energy and energy storage technologies. In this paper, we review some of the significant contributions of silica sol–gel chemistry to these fields with particular emphasis on electrolytes and separators where sol–gel approaches to functionalization and encapsulation have been of central importance. Examples are presented in the areas of dye-sensitized solar cells, biofuel cells, proton exchange membrane fuel cells, redox flow batteries and electrochemical energy storage. Original work is also included for the sol–gel encapsulation of a room temperature ionic liquid to create a solid state electrolyte for electrochemical capacitors. In view of the critical importance of energy and the versatility of the sol–gel process, we expect the sol–gel field to play an increasingly important role in the development of sustainable energy generation and storage technologies.     

Preparation of GOD/Sol‐Gel Silica Film on Prussian Blue Modified Electrode for Glucose Biosensor Application

A novel amperometric glucose biosensor was fabricated by in situ incorporating glucose oxidase (GOD) within the sol‐gel silica film on a Prussian blue (PB) modified electrode. The method is simple and controllable, which combined the merits of in situ immobilizing biomolecules in sol‐gel silica film by electrochemical method and the synergic catalysis effects of PB and GOD molecules. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the GOD/sol‐gel silica film was homogeneous with a large number of three‐dimensional nanopores, which not only enhanced mass transport, but also maintained the active configuration of the enzyme molecule and prevented the leakage of enzyme, therefore improved the stability and sensitivity of the biosensor. The fabricated biosensor showed fast response time (10 s), high sensitivity (26.6 mA cm^?2 M^?1), long‐term stability, good suppression of interference, and linear range of 0.01 mM–5.8 mM with a low detection limit of 0.94 μM for the detection of glucose. In addition, the biosensor was successfully applied to determine glucose in human serum samples.     

Electroanalytical Determination of Carcinoembryonic Antigen at a Silica Nanoparticles/Titania Sol–Gel Composite Membrane‐Modified Gold Electrode

A highly hydrophilic and nontoxic colloidal silica nanoparticle/titania sol–gel composite membrane was prepared on a gold electrode via a chemical vapor deposition method. With carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) as a model antigen and encapsulation of carcinoembryonic antibody (anti‐CEA) in the composite architecture, this membrane could be used for reagentless electrochemical immunoassay. The presence of silica nanoparticles provided a congenial microenvironment for adsorbed biomolecules. The formation of immunoconjugate by a simple one‐step immunoreaction between CEA in sample solution and the immobilized anti‐CEA introduced the change in the potential. The modified procedure was further characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Compared to the commonly applied methods, i.e., the TiO₂ direct embedding procedure, this strategy could allow for antibodies immobilized with higher loading amount and better retained immunoactivity. The resulting immunosensor exhibited high sensitivity, good precision, acceptable stability, accuracy, reproducibility and wide linear range from 1.5 to 240 ng mL^?1 with a detection limit of 0.5 ng mL^?1 at 3σ. Analytical results of clinical samples show that the developed immunoassay is comparable with the enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) method, implying a promising alternative approach for detecting CEA in the clinical diagnosis. Furthermore, this composite membrane could be used efficiently for the entrapment of other biomarkers and clinical applications.     

Electrochemical characterization of insulating silica-modified electrodes: Transport properties and physicochemical features

The effect of depositing different numbers of insulating layers from a silica sol onto an ITO support was investigated to elucidate the changes occurring to diffusion and transfer mechanisms compared with bare electrodes. The electrochemical studies highlighted unexpected trends, which were discussed with respect to literature models and interpreted in the light of the physicochemical characterization (by FE-SEM, AFM, UV–vis transmittance) and particularly the hydrophilicity of the layers.     

Silica Sol-Gel Coatings on Metals Produced by EPD

The objective of this work has been to combine the sol-gel method and the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process to prepare thick coatings onto metallic substrates. Two different routes were used for preparing the sol-gel silica suspensions. On one hand, silica particulate sols were obtained by basic catalysis of alkoxides and alkylalkoxides. On the other, silica suspensions were prepared by adding a commercial colloidal silica sol to an organic-inorganic acid catalysed silica sol. The properties of the suspension and the physical parameters associated to EPD (current density, potential, electric field and deposition time) were studied. Crack-free deposits up to 20 m were obtained after drying and crack-free glass-like coatings of 12 m after sintering at 500°C for 30 minutes. The electrochemical behaviour of these coatings was evaluated by potentiodynamic methods, showing an excellent behaviour against corrosion.
