Preparation and Electrochemical Characterization of Mesoporous Polyaniline-Silica Nanocomposites as an Electrode Material for Pseudocapacitors.

ABSTRACT: Mesoporous polyaniline-silica nanocomposites with a full interpenetrating structure for pseudocapacitors were synthesized via the vapor phase approach. The morphology and structure of the nanocomposites were deeply investigated by scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis and nitrogen adsorption-desorption tests. The results present that the mesoporous nanocomposites possess a uniform particle morphology and full interpenetrating structure, leading to a continuous conductive polyaniline network with a large specific surface area. The electrochemical performances of the nanocomposites were tested in a mixed solution of sulfuric acid and potassium iodide. With the merits of a large specific surface area and suitable pore size distribution, the nanocomposite showed a large specific capacitance (1702.68 farad (F)/g) due to its higher utilization of the active material. This amazing value is almost three-times larger than that of bulk polyaniline when the same mass of active material was used.

Preparation and Characterization of Graphene Oxide/Polyaniline/Carbonyl Iron Nanocomposites.

Project description:Nano coatings for anti-corrosion and electromagnetic wave absorbing can simultaneously implement the functions of assimilating electromagnetic waves and reducing the corrosion of materials caused by corrosive environments, such as seawater. In this work, a composite material for both electromagnetic wave absorption and anti-corrosion was prepared by an in-situ chemical oxidation and surface coating method using carbonyl iron powder (CIP), graphene oxide (GO) and aniline (AN). The synthesized composite material was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and XRD. The carbonyl iron powder-graphene oxide-polyaniline (CIP-GO-PANI) composite material was used as the functional filler, and the epoxy resin was the matrix body for preparing the anticorrosive wave-absorbing coating. The results show that CIP had strong wave-absorbing properties, and the anti-corrosion property was greatly enhanced after being coated by GO-PANI.

Polyaniline inside the pores of high surface area mesoporous silicon as composite electrode material for supercapacitors.

Project description:Mesoporous silicon (mSi) obtained by the magnesiothermic reduction of mesoporous silica was used to deposit polyaniline (PANI) in its pores, the composite was tested for its charge storage application for high performance supercapacitor electrodes. The mesoporous silica as confirmed by Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) has a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 724 m2g-1 and mean pore size of 5 nm. After magnesiothermic reduction to mSi, the BET surface area is reduced to 348 m2g-1 but the mesoporousity is retained with a mean pore size of 10 nm. The BET surface area of mesoporous silicon is among the highest for porous silicon prepared/reduced from silica. In situ polymerization of PANI inside the pores of mSi was achieved by controlling the polymerization conditions. As a supercapacitor electrode, the mSi-PANI composite exhibits better charge storage performance as compared to pure PANI and mesoporous silica-PANI composite electrodes. Enhanced electrochemical performance of the mSi-PANI composite is attributed to the high surface mesoporous morphology of mSi with a network structure containing abundant mesopores enwrapped by an electrochemically permeable polyaniline matrix.

Functional Mesoporous Silica Nanocomposites: Biomedical applications and Biosafety.

Project description:The rise and development of nanotechnology has enabled the creation of a wide number of systems with new and advantageous features to treat cancer. However, in many cases, the lone application of these new nanotherapeutics has proven not to be enough to achieve acceptable therapeutic efficacies. Hence, to avoid these limitations, the scientific community has embarked on the development of single formulations capable of combining functionalities. Among all possible components, silica-either solid or mesoporous-has become of importance as connecting and coating material for these new-generation therapeutic nanodevices. In the present review, the most recent examples of fully inorganic silica-based functional composites are visited, paying particular attention to those with potential biomedical applicability. Additionally, some highlights will be given with respect to their possible biosafety issues based on their chemical composition.

In vitro electrochemical characterization of polydopamine melanin as a tissue stimulating electrode material.

Project description:The properties of redox active polydopamine melanin (PDM) films as a coating material for neural electrodes were evaluated. PDM films with nanometer-scale thicknesses exhibit dc bias dependent charge injection capacities (CIC) with maximum values of 110 ± 23 µC cm-2 at 0.2V (vs Ag/AgCl) and reduce the interfacial impedance compared to inorganic conducting films. PDM films exhibited an asymmetric impedance response to positive and negative dc biases with minimum interfacial impedance at 0.2V (vs Ag/AgCl). An explanation for the observed bias-dependent electrochemical behavior is presented.

Novel ternary nanocomposites of MWCNTs/PANI/MoS2: preparation, characterization and enhanced electrochemical capacitance.

Project description:In this work, nanoflower-like MoS2 grown on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/polyaniline (PANI) nano-stem is synthesized via a facile in situ polymerization and hydrothermal method. Such a novel hierarchical structure commendably promotes the contact of PANI and electrolyte for faradaic energy storage. In the meanwhile, the double-layer capacitance of MoS2 is effectively used. The morphology and chemical composition of the as-prepared samples are characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopies, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectra. The electrochemical performance of the samples is evaluated by cyclic voltammogram and galvanostatic charge-discharge measurements. It is found that the specific capacitance of the obtained MWCNTs/PANI/MoS2 hybrid is 542.56 F g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1. Furthermore, the MWCNTs/PANI/MoS2 hybrid also exhibits good rate capability (62.5% capacity retention at 10 A g-1) and excellent cycling stability (73.71% capacitance retention) over 3000 cycles.

Preparation and Characterization of Graphene Oxide/Polyaniline/Polydopamine Nanocomposites towards Long-Term Anticorrosive Performance of Epoxy Coatings.

Project description:To address the challenging issues of metal materials corrosion in industries, which has caused huge economic losses and security threats to many facilities in marine environments, functional polymer coatings have been widely used and regarded as one of the simplest and most effective methods to prevent such an undesirable event. In this study, a new type of coating filler consisting of graphene oxide/polyaniline/polydopamine (GO-PANI-PDA) nanocomposites has been successfully synthesized. The morphology, structure, composition, and corrosion resistance performance of the GO-PANI-PDA (GPP) nanocomposites were investigated via a series of characterization methods. The results from our electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization curve and salt spray experiment showed that the best corrosion resistance performance of the coating is from GPP 21 with the epoxy/GO-PANI:PDA ratio of 2:1, which exhibited a positive corrosion potential (-0.51 V) shift from epoxy/GO-PANI coating (-0.64 V). The corrosion current density (3.83 × 10-8 A/cm2) of GPP 21 is nearly an order of magnitude lower than that of epoxy/GO-PANI (7.05 × 10-7 A/cm2). The good anti-corrosion performance was fascinatingly observed in salt spray tests even without obvious corrosion phenomenon after 30 days of testing. Due to these remarkable properties, GPP nanocomposites can be an outstanding candidate for the rapid development of broadband shielding and anticorrosive materials.

Mesoporous ZnS-NiS Nanocomposites for Nonenzymatic Electrochemical Glucose Sensors.

Project description:Mesoporous ZnS-NiS composites are prepared via ion- exchange reactions using ZnS as the precursor. The prepared mesoporous ZnS-NiS composite materials have large surface areas (137.9 m(2) g(-1)) compared with the ZnS precursor. More importantly, the application of these mesoporous ZnS-NiS composites as nonenzymatic glucose sensors was successfully explored. Electrochemical sensors based on mesoporous ZnS-NiS composites exhibit a high selectivity and a low detection limit (0.125 μm) toward the oxidation of glucose, which can mainly be attributed to the morphological characteristics of the mesoporous structure with high specific surface area and a rational composition of the two constituents. In addition, the mesoporous ZnS-NiS composites coated on the surface of electrodes can be used to modify the mass transport regime, and this alteration can, in favorable circumstances, facilitate the amperometric discrimination between species. These results suggest that such mesoporous ZnS-NiS composites are promising materials for nonenzymatic glucose sensors.

A Sulfhydryl Azobenzene-Modified Polyaniline/Silver Electrode and Its Photoswitching Electrochemical Performance.

Project description:In this work, a sulfhydryl-functionalized azobenzene derivative (Azo) was synthesized and polyaniline/silver was modified (PANI/Ag) to make a nanocomposite (PANI/Ag/Azo). A series of characterization techniques like1HNMR, UV-vis absorption spectra, Raman spectra, FT-IR, XRD, SEM, TEM, and TGA was employed to study Azo, PANI/Ag, and PANI/Ag/Azo. Electrochemical properties were measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charging/discharging (GCD). CV showed that UV and blue light had hardly any effect on PANI/Ag. However, with the prolonged exposure time of UV light, the maximum CV current density of PANI/Ag/Azo rose from 1.24 to 2.72 A g-1. Then, after 20 min of blue light irradiation, the maximum current density gradually recovered (from 2.72 to 1.26 A g-1). The GCD also obtained similar results. After formula calculation, the specific capacitance of PANI/Ag/Azo also presented a reversible trend under the alternating irradiation of UV light and blue light. All the results show that PANI/Ag/Azo has a good photoelectric response, and its electrochemical performance can be reversibly adjusted by light. This result provides a new design idea for developing electrode materials with real-time electrochemical properties.

Synthesis of mesoporous SnO2/NiO nanocomposite using modified sol-gel method and its electrochemical performance as electrode material for supercapacitors.

Project description:In this research work, SnO2, NiO and SnO2/NiO nanocomposites were synthesized at low temperature by modified sol-gel method using ultrasonication. Prepared samples were investigated for their properties employing various characterization techniques. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirmed the purity and phase of the samples as no secondary phase was detected. The average crystallite size of the nanocomposites was found to decrease from 19.24 to 4.53 nm with the increase in NiO concentration. It was confirmed from SEM micrographs that the material has mesoporous morphology. This mesoporous morphology resulted in the increase of the surface to mass ratio of the material, which in turn increases the specific capacitance of the material. The UV-Visible spectra showed the variation in the band gap of SnO2/NiO at different weight ratio ranging from 3.49 to 3.25 eV on increasing NiO concentration in the samples. These composites with different mass ratio of SnO2 and NiO were also characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy that showed shifting of the peaks centered at 545 cm-1 in the spectra for NiO/SnO2 nanocomposite. The analysis of the electrochemical performance of the material was done with the help of cyclic voltammetry and Galvanostatic charge-discharge. The specific capacitance of the synthesized samples with different concentration of SnO2 and NiO was analyzed at different scan rates of 5 to 100 mV/s. Interestingly, 7:1 mass ratio of NiO and SnO2 (SN7) nanocomposite exhibited a maximum specific capacitance of ~?464 F/g at a scan rate of 5 mV/s and good capacitance retention of 87.24% after 1,000 cycles. These excellent electrochemical properties suggest that the SnO2/NiO nanocomposite can be used for high energy density supercapacitor electrode material.
