Electrolytically deposited palladium on polypyrrole film, which is electropolymerized using potentiostatic method, covered foam nickel electrode as a support was used as cathode for the electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination of 2, 4-dichlorophenol in aqueous solution. It is well known that the morphologies of polypyrrole films have dramatic influences on the dispersion of metals and the performance of the composite electrode. The influence of applied potential, temperature and polymerization time on the morphology of the films was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The fundamental electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination (ECH) results indicated that the electrocatalytic activity of Pd loaded polypyrrole foam nickel electrode is excellent for dechlorination of 2,4-dichlorophenol. The present study shows a promising choice of this kind of composite electrode for ECH.

Electroactive polyaniline fibres have been prepared by eletrodeposition in aniline and hydrochloric acid aqueous media. The influence of applied potential and polymerization time on the electrochemical polymerization of polyaniline fibres have been investigated. Morphology and structure of PANI were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Electrochemical behaviors of PANI were studied by cyclic voltammetry. The results show that the applied potential and the polymerization time have a crucial influence on the polymerization rate and conductivity of the PANI prepared. It indicates that the properties, as well as the morphology of PANI, could be changed by applied potential and po-lymerization time, etc. This change might result in the quality of PANI suitable for specific applications.

The Difference

Polypyrrole films were deposited on the surface both of the outer and contact sides of the Al87Ni8Y5 amorphous alloy electrodes by potentiodynamic oxidation of 0.1 M pyrrole in 0.5 M H2SO4 aqueous solution. It was found that the oxidation of pyrrole on Al87Ni8Y5 amorphous alloy electrodes occurs comparatively easy and already during the first cycle of potential scanning a nanofilm of polypyrrole is formed. The formation of polypyrrole film essentially accelerates during following cycles of potential scanning. Cyclic voltammogramms has been analyzed and the process of electrochemical oxidation of pyrrole and redox transformations of polypyrrole at these electrodes is described. It is shown that the difference in film topology is due to the surface topology of electrodes, which determines stability of surface oxide films on these surfaces. Studies of the electrode surface topology and also morphology, structure and composition of polypyrrole films produced on an amorphous alloy electrode were carried out using Fourier-transform infrared spectro¬sco¬py with attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). It has been confirmed using FTIR analysis that the films deposited on the surface of the Al87Ni8Y5 electrodes corespond to polypyrrole which are in the form of hydrosulfate salt. The analysis of the received electron microscopy images shown that polypyrrole films produced both on the contact and outer sides of the working electrodes has developed surface topology, which depends on surface quality and nature of amorphizing additive in electrode alloy. In addition, it is likely that a significant number of aggregates of polypyrrole macromolecules are formed in the solution, which further play the role of electrodes, where the oxidation of the corresponding monomer from its aqueous solution takes place. The results of EDX microanalysis shown presence in the polymeric films of small amount of metal impurities (in the form of sulfates mainly), which formed in the result of the corrosion of working electrode.

Solid waste red mud was modified by HCl leaching. The structure property and composition of modified red mud were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). Under UV irradiation, methyl orange (MO) aqueous solution was photodegraded by modified red mud. The obtained results showed that the specific surface area of modified red mud was 317.14 m2/g, which was about 40 times higher than that of the normal red mud. After UV irradiation for 50 min, the removal percentage of MO reached 94.2%. The study provided a novel way for the application of red mud to the photocatalytic degradation of organic wastes.

Hydroxyapatite scaffolds have been being produced by a wide range of processes. The optimun material to be used as bone graft has to be partially resorbable, with resorption rates similar to new bone formation ones. The samples must have porosity compatible with tissue ingrowth. Hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate ceramics are good choices for designing such materials. In the present study, polymeric sponges were coated with hydroxyapatite and sintered. The method consists of coating polyurethane sponges substrates in an aqueous solution rich in phosphate (PO4)3-and calcium (Ca)2+ions. The solution is composed by 0.5M Ca(OH)2, 0.3M H3PO4and 1M CH3CHCO2HOH (lactic acid) at pH of 3.7. The sponges were immersed in a beaker with the solution and heated up to 80°C to precipitate monetite on the sponge. Continuous and adherent coatings were formed on the surface of sponges interconections. These coatings were characterised by X-ray diffractometry and the only identified phase was monetite. The substrates were converted to hydroxyapatite in an alkali solution.The total conversion from monetite to hydroxyapatite was confirmed by XRD analyses. The struts were heat treated in order to eliminate the organic sponge and sinter the scaffolds. After sintering, hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate were identified on the struts. Optical microscopy revealed the morphology of the struts, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed the precipitates morphology. The method showed to be efficient in the production of porous scaffolds.

The synthesized oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles by sol-gel method were characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-rays diffraction(XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Using X-rays diffraction analysis different parameter were calculated such as crystallite size, d-spacing, dislocation density, number of unit cell, cell volume, morphological index, micro strain and instrumental broadening. The average particle size was 28.396 nm. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that SnO2 nanopartcles are uniformly distributed. Optical properties such as band gap (energy gap = 3.6 eV) was calculated from UV-Visible spectroscopy. The characterized particles were used as photocatalyst for the degradation of Eosin dye in aqueous solution under UV light. The effect of different parameters i.e irradiation time, initial dye concentration, pH of the medium and catalyst weight on percent degradation was also studied. Mmaximum dye degradation was found at 220 minutes time interval that was 92 % using 10 ppm solution. At pH 5 the degradation of dye was found to be 94%. The catalyst dose of 0.06 g was found to be the optimum weight for the best photo catalytic degradation of Eosin Y.

Abstract The SiO2 and Ni/SiO2 coatings were electrophoretically deposited on X2CrNiMo17-12-2 steel using ethanol-based suspensions of the SiO2 and Ni powders. The influence of the zeta potential and concentration of the suspensions, the applied voltage and deposition time on the quality of the coatings was studied. Microstructure of the plan-view and cross sections of the coatings was investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The plan-view images revealed the uniform microstructure of the coatings with sporadically observed cracks, pores as well SiO2 and Ni agglomerates. On the cross-sections, the Cr2O3 layer, resulted from oxidation of the substrate during sintering of the coatings was observed. The polarization tests have shown that SiO2 and Ni/SiO2 coatings improve the corrosion resistance of the X2CrNiMo17-12-2 steel in 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution.

ZnO were rapidly synthesized using different zinc salts (Zn(NO3)2, Zn(CH3CO2)2, ZnCl2and ZnSO4) by an aqueous solution method at 90°C. The products were characterized by X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the anions have remarkable effects on the morphologies of ZnO. When Zn(NO3)2, Zn(CH3CO2)2or ZnCl2was used, ZnO was obtained with ellipsoidal, under-developed ellipsoidal and nano-particles morphologies, respectively. In the case of ZnSO4, layered basic zinc sulfate was obtained. The remarkable effects of anions on ZnO can be ascribed to the adsorption of the anions on the surface of ZnO, which hinders the further growth of ZnO nuclei. The effect of SO42-was further investigated by changing the mole ratio of SO42-to NO3-.
