No full textThe
present work demonstrates the preparation and characterization
of silver nanoparticles-ensnared hydrogel and demonstrated its catalytic
efficiency for the reduction of a series of nitrophenols. SPAG was
synthesized via simultaneous polymerization of acrylic acid and in
situ reduction of silver nitrate in the presence of amidodiol. Reduction
process in the presence of SPAG exhibited a first-order reaction with
a lower activation energy path (28.0, 30.7, and 33.8 kJ/mol for <i>p</i>-nitrophenol, <i>o</i>-nitrophenol, and <i>m</i>-nitrophenol, respectively) and the reduction mechanism
is found to be obeying the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model

No full textWe
have demonstrated patterning of highly ordered nanostructured conducting
PEDOT (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)) on glassy carbon electrode
(GCE) through electrochemical polymerization of a biobased liquid
crystalline template of EDOT-PDPPA (3-pentadecylphenyl phosphoric
acid). Self-assembled “EDOT-PDPPA” in water exhibited
lyotropic liquid crystalline (LC) phases of nematic gyroid, columnar,
and lamellar phases. Studies revealed that, during electrochemical
polymerization, PEDOT-PDPPA mimicked the anisotropic domains of its
monomer LC template. Nyquist plot showed enhancement in conductivity
with a positive change in the HOMO– LUMO gap. Further, the
efficiency of the modified GCE was demonstrated as an electrochemical
transducer for the detection of nicotine. It was observed that oxidation
of nicotine occurs at lower potential (0.83 V) with higher current
(54.63 μA) compared to bare GCE (1.1 V, 17.86 μA) with
nanomolar detection. This simple strategy of electrochemical patterning
of conductive polymer on a conventional electrode can be exploited
for the high tech applications in miniaturized plastronic devices
