Polypyrrole/ZnO (PPy/ZnO) nanocomposites coating with different feeding ratios of ZnO (0-30 wt%) were prepared on nickel sheet using oxalic acid and dodecylebenzensulfonic acid (DBSA) as electrolyte by electrochemical methods. It was found that surface morphology of PPy coatings showed typical cauliflower-like structure and ZnO nanoparticles were randomly distributed among these structures. Several elements were detected including C, 0, S and Zn in PPy/ZnO nanocomposites coating, and the content of ZnO gradually increased with the increase of feeding ratio of ZnO. A peak in XRD patterns was observed around 20 of 18.8 degrees related to PPy structure, and the peaks at 1544 cm(-1) and 579 cm(-1) in FTIR spectra were assigned to stretching vibration of N-H bond and Zn-O bond, respectively. It was also found that the PPy/ZnO nanocomposites coating had better conductivity and charge storage capability than those of pure PPy. Besides, the corrosion current value of PPy/ZnO nanocomposites coating showed a better corrosion protection. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Benzotriazole-based copolymers with an interlocked conformation for mitigating the correlation of thermoelectric parameters

Summary: In this study, a novel type of D-A non-fused-ring copolymers was designed and synthesized to overcome the trade-off relationship between electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient in organic semiconductors. The incorporation of fluorine atoms into the polymer backbone effectively increased the ordered degree of molecular stacking and improved both the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient. The bimodal orientation of polymers played a crucial role in decoupling the correlation between electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient.

Summary: This research focuses on the versatile substance, polyaniline/layered double hydroxide (PANI@Nd-Co/LDH), under solvothermal conditions. A thorough analysis of its structure and morphology was conducted using various analytical methods. The findings showed that PANI@Nd-Co/LDH exhibited highly sensitive and specific fluorescence detection of Pb(II) and Al(III), outperforming other heavy metal ions. The sensor demonstrated a turn-off fluorescence response for Pb(II) ions and a turn-on fluorescence response for Al(III) ions. The minimum detectable limits (MDL) were determined to be 9.6 nM for Pb(II) and 220 nM for Al(III). PANI@Nd-Co/LDH could be easily regenerated and reused for multiple cycles. The detection mechanisms involved the inner filter effect (IFE) for Pb(II) and the chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect for Al(III). These results highlight the excellent potential of PANI@Nd-Co/LDH in the detection and recognition of Pb(II) and Al(III) ions.
