The aim of this paper is to prepare and characterize partially-oxidized graphite oxide and consider if it is possible to affect the level of oxidation of particles by an adjustment of the oxidizing agent. Several samples were prepared, using different amounts of oxidizing agent. The samples were subsequently analyzed. The C/O ratio was evaluated from XPS, EDS, and EA. The amount and type of individual oxygen functionalities were characterized by XPS, Raman spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. The structure was studied by SEM and XRD. Thermal stability was investigated by STA-MS in argon atmosphere. The results can be useful in order to design simple technology for graphite oxide synthesis with required oxygen content.

Electrochemical properties of defect-introduces graphenes for lithium ion batteries were investigated. Graphene sheets (GSs) were prepared from graphite through treating with oxidizing agent followed by rapid thermal exfoliation. Defect concentration was controlled by selecting the number of times of oxidation of graphite. GSs electrodes derived from 1, 2 and 3 times-oxidized graphite oxides exhibited a high charge capacity of 1250, 1790 and 2310 mAh g1, respectively, at the 20th cycle at a current density of 100 mA g1. The enhanced capacity is assumed to be due to additional lithium storage sites such as defects and edges.

Poly(2-methyl aniline) or poly(ortho-toluidine), as ring substituted derivative of aniline, has been synthesized electrochemically in various concentrations of H2SO4 and HCl, and then characterized by cyclic voltammetry, as well as by impedance and Raman spectroscopy. The cyclic voltammograms of poly(o-toluidine) and poly(aniline) show that the electrochemical polymerization of these two polymers proceeds by almost identical mechanisms. The Raman spectroscopical measurements suggest that the redox reactions of poly(aniline) and poly(o-toluidine) are similar in the potential range between -0.2 and 0.7V vs. SCE. The impedance measurements showed that the conductivity of poly(o-toluidine) is an order of magnitude lower than that of the corresponding poly(aniline) form.

A comprehensive study of thermally treated polyaniline in its emeraldine salt form is presented here. It offers an understanding of the thermal stability of the polymer. Emeraldine salt was prepared by a novel emulsion polymerization pathway using dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid and sulfuric acid together as dopants. The effect of temperature and heating rate on the degradation of this emeraldine salt was studied via thermogravimetric analysis. The thermally analyzed sample was collected at various temperatures, that is, 250, 490, 500, and 1000°C. The gradual changes in the structure of the emeraldine salt were followed through cyclic voltammetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. Results demonstrate that emeraldine salt shows high thermal stability up to 500°C. This is much higher working temperature for the use of emeraldine salt in higher temperature applications. Further heat treatment seems to induce deprotonation in emeraldine salt. Cyclic voltammetry and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy revealed that complete deprotonation takes place at 1000°C where it loses its electrical conductivity. It is interesting to note that after the elimination of the dopants, the basic backbone of emeraldine salt was not destroyed. The results reveal that the dopants employed have a stability effect on the skeleton of emeraldine salt.

Nickel–titanium- group 5A metal (V, Nb, Ta, Zr) alloys are known as promising hydrogen-selective membrane materials. They can potentially be used in membrane reactors, which can produce high-purity H2 and CO2 streams from coal-derived syngas at elevated temperatures. The master alloys were prepared by arc melting using high purity metals in a Ti-gettered argon atmosphere. The alloys were melted several times in order to improve homogeneity. The ingots were induction-melted under a high-purity argon atmosphere in a quartz tube and graphite crucible injected through a nozzle onto a Cu wheel to produce rapidly solidified amorphous ribbons. Thermal stability of the Ni40Ti40Nb20 and Ni32Ti48Nb20 thin tapes has been examined using DTA analysis.

In this study, cyclic voltammetry was used to unearth the electrochemical behavior of MNPs/CTAB and their interaction with biomolecules whereas SERS provided an insight into the mode of interaction in these molecular associations.

ABSTRACTThe formation and thermal stability of Ni- and Ni(Pt) silicide on narrow polycrystalline Si (poly-Si) lines have been investigated using the non-destructive micro-Raman technique. The presence of Ni or Ni(Pt)Si on poly-Si lines with linewidths ranging from 0.5 gtm to 0.25 μm has been monitored by a distinct Raman peak at around 215 cm−1. Ni(Pt)Si was clearly identified to be present up to a RTA temperature of 900°C on narrow poly-Si lines as compared to pure NiSi which was found only up to 750°C. Raman scattering from the 100×100 μm2 poly-Si pads showed the formation of NiSi2 at 750°C for pure Ni-salicidation and 900°C for Ni(Pt)-salicidation respectively. The difference in the stability of NiSi on the poly-Si pads and lines is discussed in terms of agglomeration, inversion and/or nucleation of NiSi2that could be due to difference in nucleation sites and/or stress. In addition, a correlation between the line sheet resistance and the presence of Ni silicide was found using micro-Raman mapping along single poly-Si lines.
