Abstract
Conductive polymers and their composites are excellent materials for coupling biological materials and electrodes in bioelectrochemical systems. It is assumed that their relevance and introduction to the field of bioelectrochemical devices will only grow due to their tunable conductivity, easy modification, and biocompatibility.

Abstract
The adsorption of formaldehyde on the original carbon material is limited. Determining the synergistic adsorption of formaldehyde by different defects on the carbon material is necessary for comprehensively understanding the mechanism of formaldehyde adsorption on the surface of the carbon material. The synergistic effect of intrinsic defects and oxygen-containing functional groups on formaldehyde adsorption on the surface of carbon materials was simulated and verified by experiments. Based on the density functional theory, the adsorption of formaldehyde on different carbon materials was simulated by quantum chemistry. The synergistic adsorption mechanism was studied by energy decomposition analysis, IGMH, QTAIM, and charge transfer, and the binding energy of hydrogen bonds was estimated. The results showed that the energy for the adsorption of formaldehyde adsorbed by the carboxyl group on the vacancy defect was the highest, at -11.86 kcal/mol, the hydrogen bond binding energy was -9.05 kcal/mol, and a larger charge transfer was recorded. The mechanism of synergy was studied comprehensively, and the simulation results were verified at multiple scales. This study provides valuable insights into the effect of carboxyl groups on the adsorption of formaldehyde by activated carbon.

Effect of Electrosynthesis Potential on Nucleation, Growth, Adhesion, and Electronic Properties of Polypyrrole Thin Films on Fluorine-Doped Tin Oxide (FTO). Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13152419. [PMID: 34372020 PMCID: PMC8347362 DOI: 10.3390/polym13152419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2021] [Revised: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 07/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Polypyrrole (PPy) is one of the most attractive conducting polymers for thin film applications due to its good electrical conductivity, stability, optical properties, and biocompatibility. Among the technologies in which PPy has gained prominence are optoelectronics and solar energy conversion, where transparent electrodes such as fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) or indium tin oxide (ITO) are frequently used. However, FTO substrates have the notable advantage that their components are widely available in nature, unlike those of ITO. Recognizing the importance that the FTO/polypyrrole system has gained in various applications, here, we studied for the first time the nucleation and growth mechanism of electro-synthesized PPy on FTO. Additionally, the effect of the synthesis potential (0.9, 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl) on the homogeneity, adhesion, conductivity, and HOMO energy levels of PPy films was determined. From current–time transients and scanning electron microscopy, it was found that films synthesized at 0.9 and 1.0 V exhibit 3D growth with progressive nucleation (as well as lower homogeneity and higher adhesion to FTO). In contrast, films synthesized at 1.1 and 1.2 V follow 2D growth with instantaneous nucleation. It was also evident that increasing the polymerization potential leads to polymers with lower conductivity and more negative HOMO levels (versus vacuum). These findings are relevant to encourage the use of electro-synthesized PPy in thin film applications that require a high control of material properties.
