ELECTROCATALYSIS OF POLYPYRROLE-METHYLENE BLUE FILM MODIFIED ELECTRODE FOR DIRECT REDOX REACTION OF CYTOCHROME-C

The electron transfer process of hemeproteins on the electrode surface is considered a promising subject in the area of bioelectrochemistry. Electrochemists believe that electron transfer between electroactive proteins and electrode surface might be expected to simulate the electron transfer between proteins. This research provides information about the electron transfer mechanism in biological system. Cytochrome c is a typical electron transferring protein,

ELECTRODEPOSITION OF POLYCRYSTALLINE CD-RICH HG1-XCDXTE AND PHOTOELECTRO-CHEMICAL BEHAVIOR OF HG0.09CD0.91TE THIN-FILM

Electrodeposition process of polycrystalline Cd-rich Hg_(1-z)Cd_xTe (x>0.5) in acidic bath of CdSO_4+HTeO_2~+HgCl_2 was investigated. The simultaneous electrodeposition technique of three kinds of ions at the same potential has been achieved. The XRD, SEM and EDAX analysis of the thin film electrodeposited on titanium substrate showed a typical cubic zinc blende polycrystalline structure and homogeneous dispersion. The photoelectrochemical behavior of (1-x)=0.09 polycrystalline thin film in a polysulfide re...

STUDY ON POLYANILINE FILM WITH HIGH-DENSITY AND HIGH MECHANICAL STRENGTH

Free-standing film of polyaniline with excellent mechanical and electrical properties has been successfully prepared by using the solution-casting method. The results show that its tensile strength, Young's modulus and elongation at break are about 87.9 MPa, 1563.9 MPa and 10.2%, respectively. It is essential that the soluble polyaniline should be appropriately treated in some suitable organic solvents before making a free-standing film. Films having lustrous, smooth surface, high density and good flexibili...

A NEW KIND OF ION-SELECTIVE ELECTRODE BASED ON CONDUCTING POLYMER FILM

Organic conducting polymers have attracted much interest in material science. This letter reports potentiometric response behavior of polypyrrole (PPy)polymer film electrodes prepared by electrochemical polymerization, and a new kind of ion selective

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE PA FILM

I. INTRODUCTIONIn last decade, considerable attention was focused on polyacetylene. However, its practical application was affected considerably because of its poor strength and stability. Recently, Narrmann et al. reported that they could synthesize PA film with improved properties using modified Ziegler-Natta catalyst. However, no detailed

THIN-LAYER ELECTROCHEMICAL DETECTOR COATED WITH NAFION FILM

Electrochemical detection of the flow system has attracted considerable interest in recent years due to its high sensitivity and selectivity towards electroactive compounds. However, the improvement of sensitivity and selectivity is still a desire for practical application. In this note, a thin-layer electrochemical detector of the
