Development of Cd (II) Ion Probe Based on Novel Polyaniline-Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube-3-aminopropyltriethoxylsilane Composite.

ABSTRACT: Cadmium belongs to the group of potentially toxic metals that have high health and environmental significance. Due to its adverse effects on the environment, this study develops an effective electrochemical sensor for detecting a polyaniline-multiwalled carbon nanotube-3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (PANI-MWCNT-APTES) substrate cast on the GCE. The as-prepared PANI-MWCNT-APTES was prepared by a wet chemical method, and its formation was investigated using several techniques. As a result, the prepared material exhibited a limit of detection of 0.015 µM for cadmium ions (Cd²⁺) in the linear dynamic range of 0.05 µM to 50 µM. Furthermore, the PANI-MWCNT-APTES-modified GCE current response was stable, repeatable, reproducible, and short. In addition, PANI-MWCNT-APTES/GCE was harnessed for the first time for cadmium detection in real water samples, and the result was satisfactory. Therefore, the recorded results suggest that the newly designed PANI-MWCNT-APTES is a promising material for detecting Cd in the near future for human health and environmental protection.

Interfacially Interactive Ternary Silver-Supported Polyaniline/Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites for Catalytic and Antibacterial Activity.

Project description:Herein, a protocol strategy has been designed for the preparation of ternary silver nanoparticles-supported polyaniline multiwalled carbon nanotube (Ag NPs-PANI/MWCNT) nanocomposites with a chemical interaction for catalytic and antibacterial activity. The morphological study confirmed that Ag NPs were immobilized on the surface of PANI, and afterward, Ag NPs-PANI were mixed with the MWCNTs. The X-ray diffraction technique revealed the face-centered cubic structure of Ag NPs, and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study revealed the chemical constituent and signature of ?-?* and C-N interactions in the nanocomposites. The ternary Ag NPs-PANI/MWCNTs nanocomposites have the apparent rate of reaction (K app) as 5.4 × 10-3 s-1, higher than binary nanocomposites for catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol at room temperature. Antibacterial activity of Ag NPs-PANI/MWCNT nanocomposites is higher against pathogenic bacteria. Thereafter, because of multifold applications of ternary nanocomposites, they have a broad scope in the field of environmental and healthcare sectors.

Structural evolution and dielectric properties of biaxially oriented polyethylene/multiwalled carbon nanotube composite films.

Project description:In modern power systems, polymer nanocomposite films have been more frequently used as dielectric materials for capacitors. However, the low energy storage density limits its application in more areas. It is a very challenging task to prepare dielectric films with high dielectric constant (ε), high energy storage density, and low dielectric loss (tan δ) at the same time. In this study, one kind of BOPE (biaxially oriented polyethylene) nanocomposite dielectric films with a very small amount of MWCNTs (multiwalled carbon nanotubes) was reported. MWCNTs with a high aspect ratio were used for conductive filler, and the formation of more micro capacitors and interfacial polarization were caused by better dispersibility of MWCNTs in polyethylene matrix by biaxial stretching. The BOPE/MWCNT composite films with high-performance were successfully prepared by achieving the requirements of low content, high dielectric constant and high energy storage density while maintaining the advantages of low dielectric loss of the polymer matrix. The dielectric constant of the BOPE/MWCNT composite films increased from 2.26 to 4.68 with the drawing ratio was 4 × 4 and the content of MWCNTs was 0.6 wt% and the energy storage density was also increased from 1.01 J cm-3 to 1.29 J cm-3. From our work, the achievement of low thickness, high energy density and low loss at the same time implied BOPE/MWCNT composite films were promising materials for next-generation film capacitors.

Influence of Carbon Nanotubes on Thermal Stability of Water-Dispersible Nanofibrillar Polyaniline/Nanotube Composite.

Project description:Significant influence on the thermal stability of polyaniline (PANI) in the presence of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is reported. By means of in-situ rapid mixing approach, water-dispersible nanofibrillar PANI and composites, consisting of MWCNTs uniformly coated with PANI in the state of emeraldine salt, with a well-defined core-shell heterogeneous structure, were prepared. The de-protonation process in PANI occurs at a lower temperature under the presence of MWCNTs on the polyaniline composite upon thermal treatment. However, it is found that the presence of MWCNTs significantly enhances the thermal stability of PANI's backbone upon exposure to laser irradiation, which can be ascribed to the core-shell heterogeneous structure of the composite of MWCNTs and PANI, and the high thermal conductivity of MWCNTs.

Multiwalled carbon nanotube hybrids as MRI contrast agents.

Project description:Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most commonly used tomography techniques in medical diagnosis due to the non-invasive character, the high spatial resolution and the possibility of soft tissue imaging. Contrast agents, such as gadolinium complexes and superparamagnetic iron oxides, are administered to spotlight certain organs and their pathologies. Many new models have been proposed that reduce side effects and required doses of these already clinically approved contrast agents. These new candidates often possess additional functionalities, e.g., the possibility of bioactivation upon action of particular stimuli, thus serving as smart molecular probes, or the coupling with therapeutic agents and therefore combining both a diagnostic and therapeutic role. Nanomaterials have been found to be an excellent scaffold for contrast agents, among which carbon nanotubes offer vast possibilities. The morphology of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), their magnetic and electronic properties, the possibility of different functionalization and the potential to penetrate cell membranes result in a unique and very attractive candidate for a new MRI contrast agent. In this review we describe the different issues connected with MWCNT hybrids designed for MRI contrast agents, i.e., their synthesis and magnetic and dispersion properties, as well as both in vitro and in vivo behavior, which is important for diagnostic purposes. An introduction to MRI contrast agent theory is elaborated here in order to point to the specific expectations regarding nanomaterials. Finally, we propose a promising, general model of MWCNTs as MRI contrast agent candidates based on the studies presented here and supported by appropriate theories.

Silk Fiber Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube-Based Micro-/Nanofiber Composite as a Conductive Fiber and a Force Sensor.

Project description:Silk cocoon fibers (SFs) are natural polymers that are made up of fibroin protein. These natural fibers have higher mechanical stability and good elasticity properties. In this work, we coated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the surface of SFs using a simple stirring technique with vinegar as the medium. This SF-MWCNT micro-/nanofiber composite was prepared without any adhesives. The characterization results revealed that the SF-MWCNT micro-/nanofiber composite exhibited excellent electrical conductivity (995 Ω cm-1), tensile strength (up to 200% greater elongation), and durability characteristics. In addition, this micro-/nanofiber composite shows a change in resistance from 1450 to 960 Ω cm-1 for an applied mechanical force of 0.3-1 N kg-1. Based on our findings, SF-MWCNT micro-/nanofiber composite-based conductive fibers (CFs) and force sensors (FSs) were developed.

Environmental aging and degradation of multiwalled carbon nanotube reinforced polypropylene.

Project description:The degradation of polypropylene (PP) and PP-multiwalled carbon nanotube (PP-MWCNT) panels during environmental weathering resulted in an increased degree of crystallinity, making them brittle, and creating surface cracks. The degradation led to a breakdown of the panels and increased the potential for nanorelease. Thermal analysis revealed that the thickness of the test panels and reinforcement with MWCNTs had a significant influence on the stability of PP-MWCNT composites. Differential scanning calorimetry indicated that the MWCNTs acted as nucleation points, increasing the crystallization temperatures of PP-MWCNT, which reduced the extent of aging. Weathering decreased both the melting and crystallization temperatures of PP by as much as 20 o C. The reduction in the temperatures was inversely proportional to the thickness of the panels. The activation energy (E a ) obtained using isoconversional kinetics of the TGA analysis showed that the effective thermo-oxidative degradations of PP changed during aging. The E a for the initial stages of thermal degradation decreased from ~330 kJ/mol to ~100 kJ/mol for aged PP. During the late degradation stages, the E a values increased to ~300 kJ/mol. These results suggest that early degradation were altered because of the changes in the molecular structure of the aged P and a shift in the degradation rate-limiting steps.

Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Structural Composite Supercapacitor.

Project description:Carbon nanotubes exhibit mechanical properties ideally suited for reinforced structural composites and surface area and conductivity attractive for electrochemical capacitors. Here we demonstrate the multifunctional synergy between these properties in a composite material exhibiting simultaneous mechanical and energy storage properties. This involves a reinforcing electrode developed using dense, aligned carbon nanotubes grown on stainless steel mesh that is layered in an ion conducting epoxy electrolyte matrix with Kevlar or fiberglass mats. The resulting energy storage composites exhibit elastic modulus over 5?GPa, mechanical strength greater than 85?MPa, and energy density up to 3?mWh/kg for the total combined system including electrodes, current collector, Kevlar or fiberglass, and electrolyte matrix. Furthermore, findings from in-situ mechano-electro-chemical tests indicate simultaneous mechanical and electrochemical functionality with invariant and stable supercapacitor performance maintained throughout the elastic regime.

Boosting the Utilization and Electrochemical Performances of Polyaniline by Forming a Binder-Free Nanoscale Coaxially Coated Polyaniline/Carbon Nanotube/Carbon Fiber Paper Hierarchical 3D Microstructure Composite as a Supercapacitor Electrode.

Project description:Nanoscale polyaniline (PANI) is formed on a hierarchical 3D microstructure carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/carbon fiber paper (CFP) substrate via a one-step electrochemical polymerization method. The chemical and structural properties of the binder-free PANI/CNTs/CFP electrode are characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The specific capacitance of PANI/CNTs/CFP tested in a symmetric two-electrode system reaches 731.6 mF·cm-2 (1354.7 F·g-1) at a current density of 1 mA·cm-2 (1.8 A·g-1). The symmetric supercapacitor device demonstrates excellent cycling performance up to 10,000 cycles with a capacitance retention of 81.4% at a current density of 1 mA·cm-2 (1.8 A·g-1). The results demonstrate that the binder-free CNTs/CFP composite is a strong backbone for depositing ultrathin PANI layers at a high mass loading. The hierarchical 3D microstructure PANI/CNTs/CFP provides enough space and transporting channels to form an efficient electrode-electrolyte interface for the supercapacitance reaction. The formed nanoscale PANI film coaxially coated on the sidewalls of CNTs enables efficient charge transfer and a shortened diffusion length. Hence, the utilization efficiency and electrochemical performances of PANI are significantly improved. The rational design strategy of a CNT-based binder-free hierarchical 3D microstructure can be used in preparing various advanced energy-storage electrodes for electrochemical energy-storage and conversion systems.

Maximizing ion accessibility in MXene-knotted carbon nanotube composite electrodes for high-rate electrochemical energy storage.

Project description:Improving the accessibility of ions in the electrodes of electrochemical energy storage devices is vital for charge storage and rate performance. In particular, the kinetics of ion transport in organic electrolytes is slow, especially at low operating temperatures. Herein, we report a new type of MXene-carbon nanotube (CNT) composite electrode that maximizes ion accessibility resulting in exceptional rate performance at low temperatures. The improved ion transport at low temperatures is made possible by breaking the conventional horizontal alignment of the two-dimensional layers of the MXene Ti3C2 by using specially designed knotted CNTs. The large, knot-like structures in the knotted CNTs prevent the usual restacking of the Ti3C2 flakes and create fast ion transport pathways. The MXene-knotted CNT composite electrodes achieve high capacitance (up to 130 F g-1 (276 F cm-3)) in organic electrolytes with high capacitance retention over a wide scan rate range of 10 mV s-1 to 10 V s-1. This study is also the first report utilizing MXene-based supercapacitors at low temperatures (down to -60 °C).
