The electropolymerized poly(3-aminobenzoic acid) (PABA) film on indium tin oxide electrode was used for fabrication of cytochrome c (Cyt c) modified PABA thin film upon immobilization of Cyt c onto the PABA surface. The obtained Cyt c modified PABA thin film was characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, XPS, AFM, and SEM-EDX techniques. Shifts of the UV-vis absorption peaks were observed from Cyt c modified PABA thin film compared with Cyt c solution and PABA thin film. The formation of the covalent amide bond between the carboxylic groups of PABA and amine groups in Cyt c was observed from XPS results. 相似文献
Bare TiO2 and Cu-doped TiO2 nanoparticles with different nominal doping amounts of Cu ranging from of 0.5 to 5.0 mol% were synthesized using the modified sol–gel method. The samples were physically characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller-specific surface area, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, zeta potential, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma, and photoluminescence techniques. The Cu-doped TiO2 exhibited good photocatalytic activity in mineralization of oxalic acid and formic acid under visible light irradiation. Photomineralization of oxalic and formic acids under visible light irradiation revealed greatly enhanced photoactivity exhibited by the 2.0 mol% Cu-doped TiO2 photocatalyst compared to bare TiO2 . The enhanced photocatalytic performance arises from copper ion doping in the TiO2 structure, leading to an extended photoresponsive range, enhanced photogenerated charge separation, and transportation efficiency. 相似文献
The synthesis, layer‐by‐layer deposition, and electro‐copolymerization of precursor polyelectrolyte multilayer ultrathin films with thiophene and carbazole electroactive groups are described. The interest is in observing an electrochemical cross‐linking approach towards a highly ordered ultrathin film that contains two types of monomers to result in possible layer‐limited homo‐ and copolymerization. A uniform linear growth with alternate deposition of the polyelectrolytes is observed. The multilayer films were then electrochemically polymerized anodically by cyclic voltammetry (CV), which results in copolymerization between two different electroactive groups. Cross‐linking of the layers was verified by CV and spectroelectrochemistry data with very good linear electro‐copolymerizability.
Nano-sized doped-metal oxides such as Fe-doped TiO2, WO3-doped ZnO and Fe-doped CeO2 were synthesized by the modified sol-gel/impregnation, flame spray pyrolysis and homogeneous precipitation/impregnation methods respectively. The crystalline phase, particles size, and crystallinity of nano-sized powder were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Specific surface area of the sample was examined by the Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) adsorption–desorption of nitrogen gas. The photocatalytic activity of Fe-doped TiO2, WO3/ZnO, Fe-doped CeO2 nanoparticles was examined by studying the mineralization of methanol, sucrose, glucose, oxalic acid and formic acid under UV and visible light irradiations in a pyrex spiral photoreactor. It was found that doped metal oxides could improve the photocatalytic activity of the pure metal oxides. 相似文献
Nanostructured ultrathin films of linear and dendrimeric cationic sexithiophenes, 6TNL and 6TND, respectively, alternated with anionic polycarbazole precursor, poly(2-( N-carbazolyl) ethyl methacrylate- co-methacrylic acid) or PCEMMA32, were successfully fabricated using the layer-by-layer self-assembly deposition technique. The two electro-optically active oligomers exhibited distinct optical properties and aggregation behavior in solution and films as studied by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The stepwise increase of the 6TNL/PCEMMA32 and 6TND/PCEMMA32 layers was confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopy and in situ surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy. The intralayer electrochemical polymerization and cross-linking behavior of the carbazole functionalized PCEMMA32 layers were then investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical surface plasmon resonance (EC-SPR) spectroscopy. The increase in current with each cycle confirmed intralayer cross-linking followed by the doping-dedoping process within these films. The two types of films differed with respect to dielectric constant and thickness changes before and after electropolymerization, indicating the influence of the oligothiophene layers. This demonstrated for the first time the preparation of highly ordered organic semiconductors alternated with in situ electropolymerizable layers in ultrathin films. 相似文献
