Electrochemical Deposition of Polypyrrole Nanostructures for Energy Applications: A Review

By collecting and analyzing relevant literature results, we demonstrate that the nanostructuring of polypyrrole (PPy) electrodes is a crucial strategy to achieve high performance and stability in energy devices such as fuel cells, lithium batteries and supercapacitors. In this critic and comprehensive review, we focus the attention on the electrochemical methods for deposition of PPy, nanostructures and potential applications, by analyzing the effect of different physico-chemical parameters, electro-oxidative conditions including template-based or template-free depositions and cathodic polymerization. Diverse interfaces and morphologies of polymer nanodeposits are also discussed.

The method for analysis of transition metal ions (Zn(II), Cu(II), Со(II), Ni(II), Fe(III)) by high-performance planar (thin layer) chromatography with the use of sorbents modified by chelating fragments of iminodiacetic acid was developed. The correlation between retention factor (Rf) and physico-chemical parameters of the separated systems was studied. It was demonstrated that unlike the pH value, ionic strength of a solution does not exert significant influence on resolution and mobility of transition metal cations

Adme Profile

Background: owadays, in course of the drug design and discovery much attention is paid to the physicochemical parameters of a drug candidate, in addition to their biological activity. Disadvantageous physicochemical parameters can hinder the success of a drug candidate. Objective: Lovering et al. introduced the Fsp3 character as a measure of carbon bond saturation, which is related to the physicochemical paramethers of the drug. The pharmaceutical research focuses on the synthesis of compounds with high Fsp3 character. Methods: To improve the physicochemical properties (clogP, solubility, more advantageous ADME profile, etc.) of drug-candidate molecules one possibility is the replacement of all-carbon aromatic systems with bioisoster heteroaromatic moieties, e.g. with one or two nitrogen atom containing systems, such as pyridines and pyridazines, etc. The other option is to increase the Fsp3 character of the drug candidates. Both of these aspects were considered in the design the new spiro[cycloalkanepyridazinones], the synthesis of which is described in the present study. Results: Starting from 2-oxaspiro[4.5]decane-1,3-dione or 2-oxaspiro[4.4]nonane-1,3-dione, the corresponding ketocarboxylic acids were obtained by Friedel-Crafts reaction with anisole or veratrole. The ketocarboxylic acids were treated by hydrazine, methylhydrazine or phenylhydrazine to form the pyridazinone ring. N-Alkylation reaction of the pyridazinones resulted in the formation of further derivatives with high Fsp3 character. Conclusion: A small compound library was obtained incorporating compounds with high Fsp3 characters, which predicts advantageous physico-chemical parameters (LogP, ClogP and TPSA) for potential applications in medicinal chemistry.

Manufacturing Techniques

Cellulose has received great attention owing to its distinctive structural features, exciting physico−chemical properties, and varied applications. The combination of cellulose and silver nanoparticles currently allows to fabricate different promising functional nanocomposites with unique properties. The current work offers a wide and accurate overview of the preparation methods of cellulose–silver nanocomposite materials, also providing a punctual discussion of their potential applications in different fields (i.e., wound dressing, high-performance textiles, electronics, catalysis, sensing, antimicrobial filtering, and packaging). In particular, different preparation methods of cellulose/silver nanocomposites based on in situ thermal reduction, blending and dip-coating, or additive manufacturing techniques were thoroughly described. Hence, the correlations among the structure and physico–chemical properties in cellulose/silver nanocomposites were investigated in order to better control the final properties of the nanocomposites and analyze the key points and limitations of the current manufacturing approaches.
