García-Jareño JJ, Agrisuelas J, Vicente F. Overview and Recent Advances in Hyphenated Electrochemical Techniques for the Characterization of Electroactive Materials. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:4226. [PMID: 37374409 DOI: 10.3390/ma16124226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023]
Abstract
A hyphenated electrochemical technique consists of the combination of the coupling of an electrochemical technique with a non-electrochemical technique, such as spectroscopical and optical techniques, electrogravimetric techniques, and electromechanical techniques, among others. This review highlights the development of the use of this kind of technique to appreciate the useful information which can be extracted for the characterization of electroactive materials. The use of time derivatives and the acquisition of simultaneous signals from different techniques allow extra information from the crossed derivative functions in the dc-regime to be obtained. This strategy has also been effectively used in the ac-regime, reaching valuable information about the kinetics of the electrochemical processes taking place. Among others, molar masses of exchanged species or apparent molar absorptivities at different wavelengths have been estimated, increasing the knowledge of the mechanisms for different electrode processes.

Highly selective sensor for the detection of Hg 2+ ions using homocysteine functionalised quartz crystal microbalance with cross-linked pyridinedicarboxylic acid. IET Nanobiotechnol 2020; 14:563-573. [PMID: 33010131 PMCID: PMC8676536 DOI: 10.1049/iet-nbt.2020.0109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2020] [Revised: 05/18/2020] [Accepted: 06/02/2020] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
This study reports an insightful portable vector network analyser (VNA)-based measurement technique for quick and selective detection of Hg2+ ions in nanomolar (nM) range using homocysteine (HCys)-functionalised quartz-crystal-microbalance (QCM) with cross-linked-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (PDCA). The excessive exposure to mercury can cause damage to many human organs, such as the brain, lungs, stomach, and kidneys, etc. Hence, the authors have proposed a portable experimental platform capable of achieving the detection in 20-30 min with a limit of detection (LOD) 0.1 ppb (0.498 nM) and a better dynamic range (0.498 nM-6.74 mM), which perfectly describes its excellent performance over other reported techniques. The detection time for various laboratory-based techniques is generally 12-24 h. The proposed method used the benefits of thin-film, nanoparticles (NPs), and QCM-based technology to overcome the limitation of NPs-based technique and have LOD of 0.1 ppb (0.1 μg/l) for selective Hg2+ ions detection which is many times less than the World Health Organization limit of 6 μg/l. The main advantage of the proposed QCM-based platform is its portability, excellent repeatability, millilitre sample volume requirement, and easy process flow, which makes it suitable as an early warning system for selective detection of mercury ions without any costly measuring instruments.

Abstract
In situ EQCM experiments were used to investigate the stability and roughness changes occurring in a sulfur-carbon cathode utilized for a Li-S battery during the charge-discharge process. Results show that the sulfur-carbon cathode gains mass during the first discharge plateau (∼2.4 V) due to the formation of the long chain polysulfides during the discharge (lithiation) process. However, further discharge to below 2.4 V yields an increase in the crystal resistance (Rc) suggesting the sulfur-carbon cathode becomes rougher. During the charge (delithiation) process, the roughness of the sulfur-carbon cathode decreases. Time dependent measurements show that the electrode surface becomes rougher with the deeper discharge, with the change occurring following a step to 1.5 V. The sulfur-carbon cathode exhibits stable Rc and frequency behavior initially, but then becomes rougher in subsequent following cycles.

Abstract
A hyphenated technique based on vis–NIR spectroscopy and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with motional resistance monitoring was employed to investigate the dissolution of copper in acid media. Changes in motional resistance, current, mass, and absorbance during copper dissolution allow the evolution of the interfacial region of copper|diluted sulfuric solution to be understood. In particular, motional resistance is presented in this work as a useful tool to observe the evolution of the passive layer at the interface. During the forced copper electrodissolution in sulfuric solution, SO4(2–) favors the formation of soluble [Cu(H2O)6]2+. On the contrary, OH– involves the formation of Cu(H2O)4(OH)2, which precipitates on the electrode surface. The high viscosity and density of Cu(H2O)4(OH)2 formed on surface causes an increase in motional resistance independently of resonance frequency changes. During the copper corrosion in a more natural acidic environment, the results of electrochemical impedance spectra at open circuit potential indicate that corrosion is controlled by the diffusion of copper to the solution at short experimental times. However, copper diffusion is hindered by the formation of a passive layer on the electrode surface at long experimental times. During the copper corrosion, motional resistance shows an oscillatory response because of an oscillatory formation/dissolution of the passive later. Vis–NIR spectroscopy and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with motional resistance monitoring give new perspectives for reaching a deep understanding of metal corrosion processes and, in a future, other interfacial processes such as the catalysis or adsorption of (bio)molecules.

Abstract
The influence of different amino acid residues on properties of a protein surface is of great interest and importance. Hydrodynamically coupled water in the amino acids has the potential to be used as a tool to study surface properties of proteins. The contribution of this coupled water fraction in design of a hydropathy scale in surface adsorbed amino acid films on solid using quartz crystal microbalance is presented in this work. This scale compares well with the hydropathy scale of Guy reported in the literature and can be correlated with the solid/liquid interfacial tension and work of adhesion of the adsorbed amino acid films. Using Graphical Representation and Analysis of Surface Properties (GRASP) the free energy of transfer from Octanol to water for the amino acids has been estimated and shows approximately an inverse relationship with the coupled water fraction. This scale has been applied in a benchmark test for a native Laminin peptide YIGSR and its mutated sequences (with mutations carried out at 'Y and 'R' positions). The experimentally measured coupled water fractions seem to compare well with that obtained from the present scale assuming the total solvent fraction to be a linear function of the amino acids in the sequence. A survey of the protein data bank showed that sets of sequences based on this scale occur in membrane insertion domain or in trans-membrane proteins suggesting that the scale is suitable to study structure-function correlation in proteins.

Abstract
A novel toroidal coil geometry able to induce remote acoustic waves in quartz crystals has been evaluated for the development of (bio)sensors. Remote acoustic generation in air was obtained for two alternative toroidal coils, with corresponding electrical impedance changes of 40 Omega for a PDMS- and 140 Omega for a ferrite-supported toroid respectively. It was found that the range of remote acoustic generation relative to the spiral coil standard was much improved, increasing the axial separation of their resonant sensing element from 0.1 mm to 20 mm, thereby allowing electromagnetic wave penetration across glass walls and fluid media to be utilised. Consideration of the transduction mechanism, along with measured cyclic changes in acoustic signal as a function of rotation, indicated that the large PDMS toroidal coil produced an asymmetric electric field. It was shown for the first time that a quartz crystal blank fully immersed in an aqueous fluid could support chemically sensitive shear acoustic standing waves that were excited and detected remotely. A signal to noise ratio of 30 ratio 1 at 20.13 MHz was achieved by placing a ferrite supported toroidal coil on the lower side of a glass beaker containing a 12 x 0.25 mm AT crystal blank and 1 mL of water. This discovery allows wireless shear acoustic wave measurements to be performed with total separation between the electronic detection system and assays undertaken in fluidic systems.

Abstract
The direct electropolymerization of benzene dissolved in the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate was studied at room temperature applying the electrochemical quartz-crystal microbalance technique. Analysis of the damping changes showed that the Sauerbrey equation could be applied for data evaluation. In the polymer, every third to fourth benzene ring carried a positive charge in the oxidized state. During electropolymerization, some ionic liquid was absorbed in the growing polymer. The redox behavior was characterized by wide peaks typical for conducting polymers. Charge neutrality of the polymer during redox cycling was maintained by anion and cation exchange with the ionic liquid. With increasing scan rate, cation exchange became more and more important.

Abstract
An extended Butterworth-Van Dyke (EBVD) model with frequency-independent parameters for the characterization of a resonant compound formed by a quartz crystal in contact with a finite viscoelastic layer contacting a semi-infinite viscoelastic medium is extracted by analysis of the lumped element model. The formulation of the EBVD model is compared with the complete expression of the electrical admittance of the loaded quartz derived from the transmission line model (TLM). Relative deviations between them do not exceed 3% around 1% bandwidth near resonance. An extended Martin & Granstaff's model and an explicit expression for the frequency shift that supposes an extension of Kanazawa's model for viscoelastic media are obtained. An analysis of the errors associated with the extraction of shear parameters of the coating for different materials prove that, to obtain an error less than 5% in the shear parameters determination, the viscoelastic contribution, defined as the relative error in the thickness computed from the frequency shift by Sauerbrey equation, must be greater than a limit that depends on Q, which is defined as the ratio of the shear storage modulus (G') to shear loss modulus (G"). In the materials studied, polymers in the transition range or in the rubbery state with Q = 1 and 10, the viscoelastic contribution must be higher than 15% and 50%, respectively, for a 5% limit error in the shear parameters extraction. A criterion for a practical determination of the appropriate viscoelastic regimes is indicated.
