ABSTRACTThe effect of hydrofluoric acid (HF) concentration in conventional LiPF6/EC+DEC electrolyte on the properties of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) films formed on synthetic graphite electrode and the electrochemical performance were studied using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), elemental analysis and electrochemical measurement. The morphology and composition of SEI are affected by a small amount of HF in the electrolyte. Higher F content in the SEI was observed when high HF electrolyte were used, although the irreversible capacities used for formation of SEI were nearly the same value. The cycleability of the synthetic graphite electrode was greatly improved when surface film contains larger amount of LiF.

Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HaP) and ionic liquid (IL) modified pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs) are newly developed in this assay. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were applied to examine the microscopic and electrochemical characterization of HaP and IL-modified biosensors. The interaction of curcumin with nucleic acids and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) samples was investigated by measuring the changes at the oxidation signals of both curcumin and guanine by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique. The optimization of curcumin concentration, DNA concentration, and the interaction time was performed. The interaction of curcumin with PCR samples was also investigated by gel electrophoresis.

The stepwise mechanism of electrooxidation and reduction of silver nanophases and microphases is proposed on the graphite electrodes surface in alkaline medium. The electrochemical splitting of silver nanophases peak is observed on the anodic branch of the cyclic current-voltage curve. There is the shoulder at E = 0.2 V on the he anodic branch of cyclic current-voltage curve. The appearance of additional cathodic wave at E = -0.08 V is observed on the cathodic branch of the cyclic current-voltage curve that is caused by the reduction of silver nanoparticles. The additional cathode maximum is represented at 0.3 V on the cathodic branch of the cylic current-voltage curves of only silver nanophases. This effect is associated the catalytic process of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide on silver nanoparticles surface. The offset of the cathodic maxima of current-voltage curves of silver nanophases obtained with an excess of a reducing agent are observed to more negative potentials. There is a significant decrease of the all currents maxima compared to silver nanophases obtained with an equal molar ratio of reactants. These results may be connected with the formation of silver oxide monolayers in the different oxidation in the presence of large amounts a reducing agent. The excess of the reducing agent required for the preparation of silver nanoparticles leads to decrease of the cathodic maximum of silver nanoparticles

ABSTRACT In experiments performed using graphite electrodes poised by a potentiostat (+200 mV versus Ag/AgCl) or in a microbial fuel cell (with oxygen as the electron acceptor), the Fe(III)-reducing organism Geothrix fermentans conserved energy to support growth by coupling the complete oxidation of acetate to reduction of a graphite electrode. Other organic compounds, such as lactate, malate, propionate, and succinate as well as components of peptone and yeast extract, were utilized for electricity production. However, electrical characteristics and the results of shuttling assays indicated that unlike previously described electrode-reducing microorganisms, G. fermentans produced a compound that promoted electrode reduction. This is the first report of complete oxidation of organic compounds linked to electrode reduction by an isolate outside of the Proteobacteria.
