Abstract
In this study, we report the modification of flexible copper films via the spontaneous reduction of aryldiazonium gold salts [X-4-C6H4N≡N]AuCl4 (X═COOH, NO2). The electroless modification involves dipping of flexible copper films in the aryldiazonium gold solutions for a few seconds, under ambient conditions, followed by a washing step with deionized water to obtain a mechanically robust gold-aryl coating. The chemical composition, morphology, electronic structure, and optical properties of the gold-aryl layer and the flexibility of the modified copper films are supported by the results from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electrochemistry, contact angle, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). XPS surface analysis showed metallic gold in addition to C-C, C-O/C-N, and C═O functional groups from the grafted aryls. Cu 2p showed metallic copper as a major component and a small amount of Cu(II) ions. Wettability studies showed that Au-COOH@Cu increased the contact angle of the bare copper films from 68.0 ± 0.7° to 82.0° ± 0.7°, while Au-NO2@Cu increased the contact angle to 134.0° ± 0.3°. UPS energy profile analysis of [HOOC-4-C6H4N≡N]AuCl4 (valence band maximum = 1.91 eV) exhibited greater reducibility than [O2N-4-C6H4N≡N]AuCl4 (valence band maximum = 2.91 eV). The lower ionization potential of [HOOC-4-C6H4N≡N]AuCl4 (IP = 4.33 eV) enhanced the reactivity upon copper film contact, potentially inducing efficient energy level alignment, compared with [O2N-4-C6H4N≡N]AuCl4 (IP = 5.62 eV). UPS results were further supported by electrochemistry investigation which revealed that [HOOC-4-C6H4N≡N]AuCl4 is easily reducible compared with [O2N-4-C6H4N≡N]AuCl4. The findings presented here hold significant implications for developing flexible copper films and pave the way for future advancements in electronic material modification for industrial applications.

Abstract
Transparent conductive oxides such as indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates are commonly employed as prime materials for optoelectronic applications. Enhancement in functions of such devices often compels stable and robust modification of the ITO substrate to improve its interfacial charge transfer characteristics. Thereby, in this work, naphthyl modifier multilayer films are fabricated on ITO substrate using conventional electrochemical reduction of 1-naphthyl diazonium salts (NAPH-D) via altering its concentration ranging from 2 mM to 12 mM with a step size of 2. Surface coverage was significantly tuned by varying NAPH-D concentration, keeping other parameters such as the number of scans and scan rate constant. For lower concentration (2 mM), the molecular thickness ~ 6 nm was obtained, whereas, with higher concentration (12 mM) produced around 15-18 nm thickness. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in the presence of a ferrocene redox probe also supports the formation of well packed molecular film grown on the ITO surface. Further, the wettability property of the grafted naphthyl film was investigated at different surface coverages and correlated with charge transfer resistance (Rct) obtained from EIS studies.

Abstract
Aryl diazonium chemistry generates a covalently attached thin film on various materials. This chemistry has diverse applications owing to the stability, ease of functionalization, and versatility of the film. However, the uncontrolled growth into a polyaryl film has limited the controllability of the film's beneficial properties. In this study, we developed a multistep grafting protocol to densify the film while maintaining a thickness on the order of nanometers. This simple protocol enabled the full passivation of a nitrophenyl polyaryl film, completely eliminating the electrochemical reactions at the surface. We then applied this protocol to the grafting of phenylphosphorylcholine films, with which the densification significantly enhanced the antifouling property of the film. Together with its potential to precisely control the density of functionalized surfaces, we believe this grafting procedure will have applications in the development of bioelectrical interfaces.

Abstract
Conducting polymers have been widely used in electrochemical sensors as receptors of the sensing signal's analytes and transducers. Polypyrrole (PPy) conducting polymers are highlighted due to their good electrical conductive properties, ease in preparation, and flexibility of surface characteristics. The objective of this review paper is to discuss the theoretical background of the two main types of electrochemical detection: impedimetric and voltammetric analysis. It also reviews the application and results obtained from these two electrochemical detections when utilizing PPy as a based sensing material in electrochemical sensor. Finally, related aspects in electrochemical sensor construction using PPy will also be discussed. It is anticipated that this review will provide researchers, especially those without an electrochemical analysis background, with an easy-to-understand summary of the concepts and technologies used in electrochemical sensor research, particularly those interested in utilizing PPy as a based sensing material.

Abstract
Modified colloids and flat surfaces occupy an important place in materials science research due to their widespread applications. Interest in the development of modifiers that adhere strongly to surfaces relates to the need for stability under ambient conditions in many applications. Diazonium salts have evolved as the primary choice for the modification of surfaces. The term "diazonics" has been introduced in the literature to describe "the science and technology of aryldiazonium salt-derived materials". The facile reduction of diazonium salts via chemical or electrochemical processes, irradiation stimuli, or spontaneously results in the efficient modification of gold surfaces. Robust gold-aryl nanoparticles, where gold is connected to the aryl ring through bonding to carbon and films modified by using diazonium salts, are critical in electronics, sensors, medical implants, and materials for power sources. Experimental and theoretical studies suggest that gold-carbon interactions constructed via chemical reactions with diazonium salts are stronger than nondiazonium surface modifiers. This invited feature article summarizes the conceptual development of recent studies of diazonium salts in our laboratories and others with a focus on the surface modification of gold nanostructures, flat surfaces and gratings, and their applications in nanomedicine engineering, sensors, energy, forensic science, and catalysis.

Abstract
We report a diazonium electro-grafting method for the covalent modification of conducting surfaces with aldehyde-reactive hydroxylamine functionalities that facilitate the wiring of redox-active (bio)molecules to electrode surfaces. Hydroxylamine near-monolayer formation is achieved via a phthalimide-protection and hydrazine-deprotection strategy that overcomes the multilayer formation that typically complicates diazonium surface modification. This surface modification strategy is characterized using electrochemistry (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring. Thus-modified glassy carbon, boron-doped diamond, and gold surfaces are all shown to ligate to small molecule aldehydes, yielding surface coverages of 150-170, 40, and 100 pmol cm-2, respectively. Bioconjugation is demonstrated via the coupling of a dilute (50 μM) solution of periodate-oxidized horseradish peroxidase enzyme to a functionalized gold surface under biocompatible conditions (H2O solvent, pH 4.5, 25 °C).

Abstract
Highly sensitive multicomponent materials designed for the recognition of hazardous compounds request control over interfacial chemistry. The latter is a key parameter in the construction of the sensing (macro) molecular architectures. In this work, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were deposited on diazonium-modified, flexible indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes prior to the electropolymerization of pyrrole. This three-step process, including diazonium electroreduction, the deposition of CNTs and electropolymerization, provided adhesively-bonded, polypyrrole-wrapped CNT composite coatings on aminophenyl-modified flexible ITO sheets. The aminophenyl (AP) groups were attached to ITO by electroreduction of the in-situ generated aminobenzenediazonium compound in aqueous, acidic medium. For the first time, polypyrrole (PPy) was electrodeposited in the presence of both benzenesulfonic acid (dopant) and ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethylether)-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), which acts as a chelator. The flexible electrodes were characterized by XPS, Raman and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which provided strong supporting evidence for the wrapping of CNTs by the electrodeposited PPy. Indeed, the CNT average diameter increased from 18 ± 2.6 nm to 27 ± 4.8, 35.6 ± 5.9 and 175 ± 20.1 after 1, 5 and 10 of electropolymerization of pyrrole, respectively. The PPy/CNT/NH2-ITO films generated by this strategy exhibit significantly improved stability and higher conductivity compared to a similar PPy coating without any embedded CNTs, as assessed by from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. The potentiometric response was linear in the 10−8–3 × 10−7 mol L−1 Pb(II) concentration range, and the detection limit was 2.9 × 10−9 mol L−1 at S/N = 3. The EGTA was found to drastically improve selectivity for Pb(II) over Cu(II). To account for this improvement, the density functional theory (DFT) was employed to calculate the EGTA–metal ion interaction energy, which was found to be −374.6 and −116.4 kJ/mol for Pb(II) and Cu(II), respectively, considering solvation effects. This work demonstrates the power of a subtle combination of diazonium coupling agent, CNTs, chelators and conductive polymers to design high-performance electrochemical sensors for environmental applications.

Abstract
To develop conducting organic polymers (COPs) as luminescent sensors for determination of toxic heavy metals, a new benzene sulfonic acid-doped polypyrrole (PPy-BSA) thin film was electrochemically prepared by cyclic voltammetry (CV) on flexible indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode in aqueous solution. PPy-BSA film was characterized by FTIR spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optical properties of PPy-BSA were investigated by ultraviolet (UV)-visible absorption and fluorescence spectrometry in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) diluted solutions. PPy-BSA fluorescence spectra were strongly quenched upon increasing copper(II) ion (Cu2+ ) and lead(II) ion (Pb2+ ) concentrations in aqueous medium, and linear Stern-Volmer relationships were obtained, which indicated the existence of a main dynamic fluorescence quenching mechanism. BSA-PPy sensor showed a high sensitivity for detection of both metallic ions, Cu2+ and Pb2+ , with very low limit of detection values of 3.1 and 18.0 nM, respectively. The proposed quenching-fluorimetric sensor might be applied to the determination of traces of toxic heavy metallic ions in water samples.

Abstract
Adhesion of polymers to surfaces is of the upmost importance in timely applications such as protective coatings, biomaterials, sensors, new power sources and soft electronics. In this context, this work examines the role of molecular interactions in the adhesion of polypyrrole thin films to flexible Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) electrodes grafted with aryl layers from various diazonium salts, namely 4-carboxybenzenediazonium (ITO-CO2H), 4-sulfonicbenzenediazonium (ITO-SO3H), 4-N,N-dimethylbenzenediazonium (ITO-N(CH3)2), 4-aminobenzenediazonium (ITO-NH2), 4-cyanobenzenediazonium (ITO-CN) and 4-N-phenylbenzenediazonium (ITO-NHPh). It was demonstrated that PPy thin layers were adherent to all aryl-modified surfaces, whereas adhesive failure was noted for bare ITO following simple solvent washing or sonication. Adhesion of polypyrrole was investigated in terms of hydrophilic/hydrophobic character of the underlying aryl layer as probed by contact angle measurements. It was found that sulfonic acid-doped polypyrrole (PPy-BSA) thin films were preferably deposited on the most hydrophobic surfaces. More importantly, the redox properties and electrochemical impedance of PPy were closely related to the hydrophobic character of the aryl layers. This work demonstrates that diazonium compounds are unique molecular glues for conductive polymers and permit to tune their interfacial properties. With robust, diazonium-based architectured interfaces, one can design high performance materials for e.g., sensors, printed soft electronics and flexible thermoelectrics.

Abstract
Adhesively bonded polypyrrole thin films doped with benzene sulfonic acid (BSA) were electrodeposited on aminobenzenediazonium-modified flexible ITO electrodes and further employed for the detection of Pb2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+ metal ions in aqueous medium. The aminophenyl (AP) adhesive layer was grafted to ITO by electroreduction of the in situ generated parent diazonium compound. Polypyrrole (PPy) thin films exhibited remarkable adhesion to aminophenyl (ITO-AP). The strongly adherent polypyrrole films exhibited excellent electroactivity in the doped state with BSA which itself served to chelate the metal ions in aqueous medium. The surface of the resulting, modified flexible electrode was characterized by XPS, SEM, and electrochemical methods. The ITO-AP-PPy electrodes were then used for the simultaneous detection of Cu2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+ by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The detection limits were 11.1, 8.95, and 0.99 nM for Cu2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+, respectively. In addition, the modified electrodes displayed a good reproducibility, making them suitable for the determination of heavy metals in real wastewater samples.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in sonochemistry for either the controlled design of nanostructured materials or for the synthesis of polymers and polymer composites. It is fast and highly efficient method that provides materials with exceptional and enhanced structural and chemical properties. Herein, we take advantage of the versatile sonochemical process in order to design core/double layered shell nanocomposite denoted by Fe3O4@NH2-mesoporous silica@ PPy/Pd. This magnetic, multicomponent material was designed in a three-step sono-process: (i) synthesis of magnetic core, (ii) cure of mesoporous silica, and (iii) sonochemical deposition of PPy/Pd. This last step was achieved within 1 h, a much shorter duration compared to conventional routes which usually take several hours to few days. The final nanocomposite can be recovered with a simple magnetic stick. X-ray diffraction patterns highlighted the presence of zerovalent palladium on the surface of the magnetic nanocomposite. The catalytic activity of the solid support was investigated by the study of the p-nitrophenol (p-NP) reduction and the Methyl Orange (MO) degradation in aqueous media. Results showed a very high catalytic efficiency, a high conversion yield of p-NP into 4-aminophenol (more than 94%) and an almost entire degradation of MO (99%) with a fast kinetics fitting to the first order model. This work demonstrates conclusively the benefits of sonochemistry in the design of metal nanoparticle-decorated inorganic/polymer hybrid system with outstanding performances.

Abstract
Electroconductive polypyrrole/dodecylbenzenesulphonate (PPy/DBS) has been proposed as novel electrode coating for biomedical applications. However, as yet, little is known about its long-term stability in moist conditions. This study compares the stability of PPy/DBS-coated platinum electrodes that are either dry-stored, incubated, or both incubated and electrically stimulated. The electrical and material properties of three different coating thicknesses were monitored for 42 days. Initially, the PPy/DBS-coating decreased the low frequency impedance of the platinum electrodes by 52% to 79%. The dry-stored electrodes remained stable during the follow-up, whereas the properties of all the incubated electrodes were altered in three stages with thickness-dependent duration: stabilization, stable, and degradation. The coated electrodes would be applicable for short-term, low-frequency in vitro measurements of up to 14 days without electrical stimulation, and up to 7 days with stimulation. The coating thickness is bound to other coating properties, and should therefore be selected according to the specific target application. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
