ABSTRACTThe aqueous polymerization of pyrrole and aniline by ferricyanide and persulfate, respectively, was monitored by Raman scattering and potentiometry. Raman scattering gave well-resolved signals for monomer and oxidizer. The kinetics of polypyrrole formation could be determined by both techniques, whereas only Raman scattering was suitable for the aniline system. The stoichiometry of the pyrrole polymerization remained constant at 2.5 oxidant molecules per pyrrole consumed. The aniline reaction showed an accelerated region with aniline consumption lagging persulfate use.

Commercially available conductive inks are typically made up of precious metal nanoparticles, such as gold (Au) and silver (Ag). Thus, cheaper metals like copper (Cu) are currently being explored as alternative material. Though Cu has a comparable conductivity to that of Ag, they tend to oxidize easily when exposed to air and water, which could limit their application. In this work, oxidation-stable Cu nanoparticles with mean diameter as small as 57 nm were prepared by simple electroless deposition in water. Food-grade gelatin was used as stabilizer, which makes the process more economical and environment-friendly. In situ monitoring of mixed potential was carried out during synthesis to understand the kinetics of the reaction. The mixed potential of the solution shifted negatively as the amount of gelatin was increased. This suggests faster reduction rate.

This note describes an autoclave chamber developed and constructed by Anton Paar and its application for in situ experiments under hydrothermal conditions. Reactions of crystalline phases can be studied by successive in situ measurements on a conventional laboratory X-ray diffractometer with Bragg–Brentano geometry at temperatures <483 K and saturated vapour pressure <2 MPa. Variations in the intensity of X-ray diffraction reflections of both reactants and products provide quantitative information for studying the reaction kinetics of both dissolution and crystal growth. Feasibility is demonstrated by studying a cementitious mixture used for autoclaved aerated concrete production. During a period of 5.7 h at 466 K and 1.35 MPa, the crystallization of torbermorite and the partial consumption of quartz were monitored.
