Abstract:
A ZnO-Fe-MXene nanocomposite was fabricated and examined with diverse spectroscopic techniques. The hexagonal structure of ZnO, MXene, and ZnO-Fe-MXene nanocomposites were validated through XRD. FTIR showed the characteristic vibrational frequencies of ZnO and MXene. The micrographs of the SEM showed nanoparticles with a flower-like structure. The electrocatalytic reduction efficiency of ZnO-Fe-MXene nanocomposite was analyzed through cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods. The ZnO-Fe-MXene electrode was confirmed to have a high current density of 18.75 mA/cm2 under a CO2 atmosphere. Nyquist plots also illustrated a decrease in the impedance of the ZnO-Fe-MXene layer, indicating fast charge transfer between the Zn and MXene layers. Additionally, this electrochemical study highlights new features of ZnO-Fe-MXene for CO2 reduction.Keywords:

The XRD analysis were performed to confirm the formation of hydroxyapatite structure in collagen-silver-hydroxyapatite nanocomposites. The molecular interaction in collagen-hydroxyapatite nanocomposites was highlighted by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The SEM showed a nanostructure of collagen-silverhydroxyapatite nanocomposites composed of nano needle-like particles in a veil with collagen texture. The presence of vibrational groups characteristics to the hydroxyapatite structure in collagen-silver-hydroxyapatite (AgHApColl) nanocomposites was investigated by FTIR.

Sputtered thin-film electrodes (STFEs) of micro fabricated PMMA-chips for ITP [] and CE [] are characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). It is shown that the fabrication process strongly influences the electrochemical behavior of STFEs.

The interactions of Meldola's Blue(MB) and DNA were studied by cyclic voltammetry(CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS).A couple of cyclic voltammetric peaks of MB decreased after MB interacted with dsDNA in the solution.The interaction between MB and dsDNA was an electrostatic mode.While MB interacted with ssDNA or dsDNA modified on the glassy carbon electrode,the peak currents of MB increased and the formal potential shifted negatively.Based on cyclic voltammetry,the binding constants of MB and ssDNA or dsDNA modified on the electrodes were determined to be 3.4×103 L·mol-1 and 5.2×103 L·mol-1,respectively.The electrostatic interaction existed between MB and surface-immobilized ssDNA,and both electrostatic and intercalative interactions occurred between MB and surface-immobilized dsDNA,which implied that MB might be used as a potential electrochemical DNA hybridization indicator.The experimental result of EIS was in consistent with that of CV.

We present in this work a study of the electrochemical behaviour of terthiophene and its corresponding polymer, which is obtained electrochemically as a film by cyclic voltammetry (CV) on platinum electrode. The analysis focuses essentially on the effect of two solvents acetonitrile and dichloromethane on the electrochemical behaviour of the obtained polymer. The electrochemical behavior of this material was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The voltammograms show that the film of polyterthiophene can oxide and reduce in two solutions; in acetonitrile, the oxidation current intensity is more important than in dichloromethane. The impedance plots show the semicircle which is characteristic of charge-transfer resistance at the electrode/polymer interface at high frequency and the diffusion process at low frequency.

The mechanism of electrodeposition of Cr in a Sargent bath was investigated with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Cr(VI)sol is reduced to Cr via two reaction intermediates, i.e., Cr(III)ad and Cr(II)ad. The current-potential curve for Cr(VI)sol reduction can be divided into three potential regions. Inductive semicircles were observed on the Nyquist plots of electrochemical impedance measured in two potential regions, where it was found that the inductive behavior originates from the actions of Cr(III)ad and Cr(II)ad. Moreover, results indicate that the hydrogen evolution influenced the Cr(VI)sol reduction rate. The simulated results on the basis of the reaction model as outlined are in agreement with the experimental results.

Chitosan–silver (CS–Ag) nanocomposite materials were synthesized by a simple chemical method. The synthesized CS–Ag nanocomposite contains 20 wt% silver. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction method as well. The CS–Ag nanocomposite was characterized using Field emission scanning electronic microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The XRD pattern indicated the presence of both silver and chitosan in the nanocomposite. It is observed from the XRD pattern of silver that it is of cubic structure. The spherical morphology of silver nanoparticles was confirmed from the FESEM image. FTIR spectroscopy was used for the structural elucidation. CS–Ag nanocomposite exhibits good antimicrobial and antitumor properties.
